no difference really, i-pod and mp3 do essentially the sale thing. I used to like my old mp3 and easier to use but ipod is super slim and a bit of a style icon.

sorry, tried to post in security, messed it up!

Hi, I recently bought a new house and it is pre-wired. I can easily see where the control panel would go and there are 3 or 4 blocks with wiring for the PIR's. There is a separate trip switch for the alarm in the fuse box. I don't want anything too fancy but like the idea of some...

when I use my laptop without mains plugged in the screen is too dim. On mains power it's much brighter. What do I do to brighten up the setting on battery power? I use windows XP. Thanks!

Thanks for the response guys, These are new doors in old frames, the hinges can go back ik where the old ones were and the furniture looks straightforward. The price is for 2 blokes and they come reccomended, they reckon on a day and a half. I've loads of other work to be done and if they're...

Please help - I understand there may be a grant available for this, the house was built in 1965 and there appears to be very little insulation - can anyone advise?

I had a new kitchen. Until then the kitchen sink tap was gushing, now it's not got any pressure. If it's hard work to get the pressure back I'll not bother but if it's simple enough I will. Any ideas what happened?

Righdoo! I found it, a wee white plastic monkey at the back of the pump. Turned it back 2 notches and seems to have done the trick. I'm chuffed! Looking forward to a good night's sleep without the damned dripping!!
