    Roof for kids Den

    I'm building the kids a den and want to keep it cheap and cheerful. I've started it by using pieces of timber screwed together to make a small rectangle structure and it will be down the side of the house out the way. The den is 167cm long by 95cm wide. I want to put a roof on it and wondered...

    Driving to France

    In my Ford car you can set it so you can only accelerate upto the maximum speed of the road you are on. You can over ride this in an emregency or to overtake by pushing down firmly on the accelerator. I guess it uses the SatNav to know the current allowed speed. Not all cars will have this...

    Driving to France

    I've found there have been a lot more speed cameras in recent years too. And they arent easy to see like our bright yellow ones in the UK. If your car has a speed limit function that stops you going above the limit I find that useful.

    ok thats one way to do it..............

    No the bottom part, where it goes into the RJ45 port on the wall. If it was me, I'd put that behind the wall too. Then no wires visible at all.

    ok thats one way to do it..............

    If you are going to attempt to hide the cable in the wall then why come back out for the socket? Embed that in to the wall too.

    What’s everyone doing for a holiday this year ?

    We are off camping this year. Kids can make holidays real expensive but found a good campsite with water park on the Atlantic Coast.

    Can i cut cable?

    The camera will still operate but it could cause problems if any of the wires touch. I wouldn't do it. If you use a proper mounting box then there will be room to hide the wires in there.

    Expired passport

    Does anyone know the amount of months needed left on a UK passport now? I'm travelling to France and will have just over 3 months left. I believe this is fine. It used to be 6 months?!

    When you upload the photo on the passport site it will actually tell you whether it is acceptable or not.

    Good luck. They lost my birth certificate and made a right mess up leaving me to spend hours on hold trying to chase things up.

    Taking a "sicky"

    Seen this many times. HR finds a way to drive them out and they'd rather walk than have to deal with a losing battle.

    Taking a "sicky"

    Went to New York and came home on the Monday instead of the sunday as the flights were cheaper. Don't think they believed my flight got cancelled. Got an unauthorised absence warning. Was worth it for the holiday and saving money. Basically dont take the pi55. Once every so often we all need it.

    Yes that is exactly it. "I have the controls". And then you read it back to them "You have the controls".

    Keep it Green

    I am all for putting a bit of nature back in to our concrete cities. This February I planted 4 fruit trees on council land and added a few hawthorn bushes to replenish the hedge that had been damaged at the back of the street. The council guy who cuts the grass has even been careful round the...
