    Imperial to metric radiator swap

    I want to swap some old rads for nice new ones. The old are from back in the '70s when the house was built so are all imperial. One is simple enough, it's 3' so I should be able to get a 900mm in (15mm difference which I'm sure I can get away with with the play in the pipes). The awkward one is...

    Paste the paper/wall. What's the difference??

    I think you are confusing the plague with sheep molesting. Both have the same outcome if the wife finds out :D

    Paste the paper/wall. What's the difference??

    Oh bugger! Looks like this may be my last post then ;-) BTW, did they have the plague in Pontypridd in the 70s when the house was built?

    Paste the paper/wall. What's the difference??

    Thanks for the replies. It looks like it'll be a few days before the paper goes up. I just took what was on the wall off ('crucifix' made up of 1' square mirror tiles and around that very thick wallpaper with about a dozen layers of paint) and found the wall underneath is a really dark red. I...

    Paste the paper/wall. What's the difference??

    I'm just about to re-paper one wall (yes, just the one luckily!). We've been to look at paper an I see some say paste the paper, others paste the wall. What's the difference between the two papers and can you paste the wall if the paper says paste the paper or the other way around, paste paper...

    Wooooooo..........BBS's. The good old days. I used to run a BBS. Started with RemoteAccess then swapped over to EleBBS. Had a second phone line installed so that I could run 24 hours and still be able to use the phone. Happy days :D

    Internet.

    It might depend on your area but I've got Sky fibre and it's great. Four, sometimes 5 of us online at the same time and I've got no complaints about the speed. I was on Sky broadband before fibre and again, no complaints. That did slow with all of us online but that was down to it being...

    Problem with central heating pump

    I had the same problem some time ago. There's a start up capacitor inside the connector block housing. It had 'dried out' with the heat. A replacement soon had the pump up and running again.

    Hi I assume you have been able to connect to the IMAP server in the past? Have you tried reducing the number of connections? It defaults to (I think) 5. When in the email client go to Edit > Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings. Expand the email account details (little + sign) then click on Server...

    Chrome browser alternatives

    I use SeaMonkey. It's Mozilla based (like FF) so most of the FF add-ons will work with it. Much better (in my opinion) than Chrome.

    13A supply spurred off 32A socket?

    I was thinking about this and realised my gas hob is plugged into a 13a socket. Well, the gas side isn't but the igniter system is.
