Do the new Makita chargers still play different tunes if you put the battery on and off the charger a couple times ? Oh, and yes they have got noisy fans.

If the printheads have dried up get yourself a syringe, remove the cartridges and squirt some isopropyl alcohol into the heads. You may need to do it over a few days but it should solve the problem.

I use a Fluke 51 II with K thermocouple. It does seem a bit slow updating but apart from that it works well for me.

Dogs lay eggs? I'll have to have a chat with my spaniel. All he ever does is sh*t everywhere!!

I've got a 7.3kW unit in our holiday chalet in Somerset and it's useless. You have to have a very slow flow to get any decent heat output. In cold weather like we have at the moment the incoming water is even colder so the outgoing 'hot' water is not very warm at all. It would take forever to...

Coal is still running at 10.73GW at 21:30. I know a few site engineers on the coal sites who will be very happy. When I checked earlier today demand was up to 50GW and about the only things not running were the OCGT's. If this weather keeps up I reckon a few of them will need to come online. The...

He makes tuna do what?

I know I'm Welsh but some of us are human :)

Hmmmmm.....that photo isn't actually me :D

I went for 2 x 3Tb Toshibas. Only time will tell if was the right move but they seem quiet and so far running at a reasonable temperature.

Can any of them :(

I mainly work on transformers and switchgear at power stations and subs and I've never come across a green phase markers. None of the Grid, WPD or SSE sites I've been to have had green phase markers either so perhaps it's a very old system?

My body :p

This is what I was thinking. If I go for Toshiba I'll get an extra 1Tb for my money. If one does die then it's mirrored so no loss and the speed difference is not that great from the WD Reds, probably not noticable for what I'll be using it for. The Seagates are dearer than the Toshiba and not...

But are the Reds worth the extra? I've been looking at some revues and yes, the reds do score well but the Toshiba P300 are not that far behind. Probably not noticable?? I've used Seagate in the past without problems (I can remember when a 20mb hard drive was huge!) but I've read reports that...

Hi All I've got a Zyxel NAS 326. Okay, not the greatest but it was very cheap as the previous owner has gone over to a Synology 4 bay jobbie. I need two hard drives for it. I'm looking at fitting 2 x 2Tb drives, one mirroring the other. Everyone seems to recommend the WD Red series. Are they...

I had a '72 Mini. It started life if that 'baby sh*t' colour. I had it resprayed in 'russet brown'. Wasn't much better!

You both used to be hairdressers?

Get yourself a cheap tester. Simple device, two boxes with LEDs. You connect one (via short patch lead) to your socket, the other (again via a short patch lead) to the patch panel. If all LEDs flash in order then the wiring is fine. If a LED doesn't flash the connection to that lead is faulty...

You coat your dog in soft cheese?
