*IF* you are using ie 8, then it does have some issues with websites designed for previous versions of ie (i.e. ie7!). Try selecting "compatability mode". I have had several sites that, although not freezing up ie, would not display correctly (warning triangle in bottom left corner, and drop...

Ban, Great advice from a Pro. Do you have to be such a pedant though! You may consider my approach "not very Engineer like" but I fixed mine didn't I? Who left it in the poor condition in the first place. Oh yes, a Professional spark! The spark who tested my ring had a thing you...

Joni, It was one of those really frustrating problems that you think - I'll never fix this one. I was thinking I would have to make an earthed metal screened box for the monitor, or revise my whole plan on the location of the study - drastic stuff indeed. From what you have said, the...

Had exactly the same myself recently. Had an extension done to the back of my kitchen. Old kitchen now a breakfast room/study. PC monitor would cycle between going blurred then clear. tried another monitor and a new graphics card - nil fix. Physically moved the pc to another part of the...

There hasn't been a new estate built relatively recently has there?

I got a piece of ply that was just tall enough to fit flush between the floor and the bottom lip of the tray. Then, I fixed the same wall tiles as were in the shower room to the front on the ply - extending above the ply - and with a 90degree edging strip along the top. I drilled holes with a...

Also watch out if you have any kind of radar detector. These are illegal to use in France and several other European countries. Don't just unplug it and stick it in your glove box either. It's illegal to HAVE ONE, not just to USE ONE. Paul

Ban, As you have no idea of how I operate my garden system, then I cannot see how or why you are accusing me of being a polluter. Actually, when on, any music coming from my deck speakers cannot be heard outside of my garden - I have tested this throughly - I am a considerate neighbour and...

Actually Secure, it's a Lane in Gibraltar where I come from! Paul

Not sure about France, but in Spain and you wear glasses to drive, you need to carry a spare pair - and no, prescription sunglasses don't qualify. Paul

Ban, someone asked for information if something is possible. I provided information on what products I used and know are available. I made no comments of their quality. We all have our own standards. For me, these products are acceptable. Music is different things to different people. I...

Agree with Breezer. I have recently fitted a "Roca" toilet and it too had no 'oles for fitting the cistern to the wall. Dealer said that was the design, and if I tried and failed to drill it, it would not be covered under any warranty. When coupled to the pan, there was a degree of movement...

For my downstairs system I have a "mid range" sony seperates system, feeding into a 4 way switchbox here which switches sounds to one or any combination of: Lounge, Dining Room, Conservatory, Deck (with sonance "rock speakers" here ) For my upstairs system I have a midi system in the...

Do you mean these (look near the bottom of the page here

I was just suggesting a no cost method.
