Thanks so much TTC Much appreciated :D

DVD VideoSoft : Free disk burner

Either let the router manage the connection, or let Windoze do it They can't both manage it :)

I don't use an email program - I just access via the web (Googlemail) This has many advantages ...... The main one being you don't have to send out "I'm changing my email address - as from (date) my new address will be XYZ etc.." when you change providers My Gmail address has remained...

Hi All, I need some help. I'm fitting some low-voltage downlighters into a wardrobe. I've run a supply from a switched socket (so I can easily isolate it) and have the base plate of the pull-switch fitted to the ceilling ready for wiring. But despite the instructions (MK) it doesn't seem...

Hi all, We've bought alight fitting for the bathroom from B&Q,which consists of 4 No. GU10 halogen bulbs. The light switch is outside the bathroom, simple on/off switch Question is : Can the switch be changed to a dimmer and should / will it still work ?? Thanks in advance, Tony

slightly O/T, but ..... If UFO's travel lighyears across the galaxy, even between galaxies, using technology far in excess of our understanding, borne from an intelligence far superior from ours .... .... why the hell do they abduct so many Yanks ! Are they just bored :lol: :lol...

Sylvan, I understand the basis of the quote you included in your post, but as for your posted comments ....... :roll: I know you're a Yank and I always try to make allowances for an induhviduals' perspective & level of education & intelligence but for Gods sake ! Talk about going off at a...

I too have a Toyota Hilux, bought second (or third) hand for just over £2k. Plenty of power for towing, 2wheel drive for day-t-day economy and 4X4 when you need it. Ultra reliable, starts instantly - fitted with two 540 amp-hour batts so there's plenty of power even on icy cold mornings...

Thank you - I'll be in touch

Its on a lot of the news sites, and has been for the last 2 hours, that Gord & Darling (aka 'The Muppets') are going to announce a £50 billion bank rescue plan tomorrow. Personally, I'm against my (ie, taxpayers) money being used to bail out & rescue these greedy city & banking fat cats who...

Hi all, We have a short (4 ft) church style pew, which we need altering - nothing major, just 2 or 3 shelves adding to match the existing wood. Pretty certain its Oak - it has a lovely rich patina. Shelves need to be of suitable size to match the base item, at least 1" thick Can anyone...

To save money (I'm half Scot & live in Yorkshire :lol: ) we frequently buy reduced items, with no ill effect. Its always interesting that people don't like it when their food has mould or fungus. The best stilton need a type of mould for its taste and as for fungus, what's a mushroom ? ...

I've been given a few small prezzies as well as payment, which is very nice. Not been offered sex yet, but was given a lovely massage by a lady client after I'd pulled my back ....... fell asleep it was wonderful.

I am disgusted by the police decision on this. Not because I am BNP (I'm not). But because I feel they are morally wrong. The officer was off duty and not in uniform. Had this not been the case, I'd say they'd have a strong case to pursue the action they took, but he wasn't. I do not...

FWIW, I wouldn't recommend buying ANY tool until you need it. Build yourself up in experience & ability and as the requirement for a tool emerges or becomes obvious (and assuming its a tool you're likely to use again) THEN is the time to buy it. Buy the best you can afford, and stick to...

Thanks for the replies guys. Perhaps an alternate question would have been : "Which mobile phone do you use ?" How long have you had it and how well does it stand up to your daily work As an aside, would be interested to know which is everyones favoured network .... I'm on...

Hi all, Having broken yet another mobile (snapped in my pocket !) I've started a blog to find the ultimate trade-tough mobile phone. Comments would be welcome at : http://tuffphone.blogspot.com/

Credit crunch Wish we had 48 hour days !

Last time someone refused to pay me, I blocked their access. Police were called but as my truck is insured, taxed, etc... police soon left when they found out why saying it was a civil matter. Cash took about an hour to arrive cos the customer had to walk to a cash machine. Tradesmen in our...
