    My Daughter got a first!

    I went to a state school with 2 people who are now at med school. Their parents are ordinary people on ordinary wages. Which Uni did she go to?

    Some maniac running over a child and leave the scene?

    Heard one report that said the driver was a young man. Whether that means just-passed-his-test young I don't know. Maybe he panicked? Who knows. We may never know. Similar to John's story, my uncle killed a biker 30+ years ago. He was coming out of a farmyard in a tractor, on a 60 road and...

    Advice on the 17th Edition Electrical test please anyone..

    What's the name of the course? 2391? I suspect if it is, the others doing it in 7 weeks will be doing 2 evenings/1 day a week, whereas you'll be doing a week in college? No? If it is the 2391 I have some papers/guidance for that too if you want? :lol:

    My Daughter got a first!

    Congratulations. What subject? And Joe, that's protocol for most universities. I've never heard of anyone being given a provisional classification and it subsequently being changed following the second marker's actions. Also, what university is your daughter at? It's usually 70% for a First...

    Virgin warns infected customers

    John, as I understand it, SOCA found evidence that contained a list of IPs of those affected. They notified Virgin that 1500 of their users had been affected and Virgin decided to notify those users; they were keen to stress that they hadn't been logging internet activity.

    Virgin warns infected customers

    I know nothing about TalkTalk's website blocker, but with such a large amount of P2P users I doubt a website blocker would have helped in this case. Edit: After a wee bit more research... I doubt TalkTalk could/would block the websites of such major companies. Edit #2: If Air...

    T-Mobile end of contract scam !

    Simple answer: because they don't have to. Why did you not read your contract, the terms and conditions, and arrange something for when that ends?

    Practical economical Idea for reducing heating bills.

    My comment was partially tongue in cheek. If it's alrady used in one form or another in the US then there's nothing patentable about it!

    Practical economical Idea for reducing heating bills.

    Like he said it's already being done in a similar form in the US, hence it's not patentable. About the only thing you could patent would be the use of a bathroom extractor.

    Practical economical Idea for reducing heating bills.

    But transferring heat actually has something to do with physics. I'm basing my opinion on the fact that I suspect he has already done at least some calculations to confirm whether or not this will work. I didn't say a qualification makes you intelligent, merely that as a physicist when it...

    Practical economical Idea for reducing heating bills.

    That's the thing, he's already said he'll be doing nothing with this in terms of making a business out of it for at least 2 years. That's another 24 months for him to collect data, analyse it and see if it really is worth doing. I'm presuming that as a physicist his science is far from...

    Practical economical Idea for reducing heating bills.

    You're quick to laugh but he's already stated he pretty much retired in his 30s. I presume you'll be doing the same?

    Practical economical Idea for reducing heating bills.

    I'm pretty sure that's just the prototype. Could you not try, or calculate, the effect of a more powerful system, that would perhaps be more effective? Do you have room temperatures to plot against your loft temperatures? Unlike others I agree with the idea. Of course it's not meant to...

    Practical economical Idea for reducing heating bills.

    What a prude. Does she refuse to dress up as well? For what it's worth, I think it's a good idea but the amount of hassle involved for something which, if we're honest, will only be ever be suitable for one room, 2 at most, just isn't worth it. The amount of work involved for something that...

    Them that do, don't, and those that should..might not...

    You're very aggressive. What I said was a joke, but of course Mr. Sense of Humour can't see that. If you're able to bypass the site's systems then why don't you do that and tell me my IP address? Or is that just more carp spouted from your trap?
