It's not normally a good idea, but at least tacking it to a fence will lessen the chance of it bring run over, snagged or whatever from lying on the ground. You definitely want to ensure that it's in an RCD-protected socket. By the way - have you considered something like this...

You've gotta plan, you know - can't just go rushing in to these things :mrgreen:

Someone else will be along in a moment to give you a list of reasons why you shouldn't run the extension cable into the garden. But with regards to the IP44 box, I'm not sure that they are designed for flex - I understand that they are expected to be used with fixed watertight trunking and I...

No.

meh I don't have a problem with javascript and certainly can't be arsed white-listing or black-listing individual pages, scripts, or suchlikes. Adblock is granular enough for me. Plus (and ironically, possibly?) I don't have an issue with tracking. My business and my hobbies make use of...

Alrighty. Auto-plays in chrome. Are you a fan of Sir Dr Saint Al Blacker, then? :mrgreen:

You may be mistaking me for the original poster :lol: (which isn't surprising, as I do appear to have hijacked his thread somewhat!)

Yeah, especially in the number of websites that stop working. I suspect this one would be fine, though :wink:

Are you using Chrome, b-a-s? It autoplays in my browser. And, yes, I am a big fan of Sir Dr Alan Blacker, Phd, Mil, MIA, VC, OBE, Obe-wan-kenobi, the 113th Early of Dublin and the Lord Harley. Well, when I say I'm a fan, I really mean of the train-wreck that has been following him since...

Cool - I get it now - thanks :mrgreen:

It's a tricky one, isn't it? I confess to using adblock because *most* sites have extremely obtrusive adverts. I notice an amazing difference when I swap to someone else's computer to browse a site that I know well - I spend a few minutes thinking "Wow - this is slow" and then realise that it's...

I'm not sure the OP will completely understand why there may be an issue - with the deepest of respect; I certainly don't understand the issue from the two well-meaning responses so far. Why does it change the current carrying capacity? I'm guessing that the foam compresses the cable when it...

Well, you're certainly correct that it states 180C! It does helpfully give a cable product reference, H05SS, and a quick google seems to suggest that RS stocks it in the UK, however it is *very* expensive; http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/multicore-industrial-cable/8079287/ I would seriously...

And iOS. At the time, I thought Steve Jobs was being a typical megalomaniac d*ck when he announced that Flash would not be allowed on iPhones but it wasn't long before I was persuaded that he was correct. Jobs pretty much single-handedly killed Flash as a development platform, which turned out...

Uuugh! Remember when the very first websites in the 90s all seemed to blare music at you when opened their screen? Some people still think it's a good idea, even in 2014 --> turn up speakers, click here, and be horrified <-- :shock:

I work for a software developer and one of the applications that we make currently runs on Flash. ...and it's a nightmare - the customers hate it, our support folks hate it and we hate it. Trying to get a stable version that will run our app and other people's apps in pretty much impossible...

Grow up, b-a-s.

I'm with johnmelad on this. We've all tried to be polite, constructive and helpful to you, b-a-s, but I'm sick of it. You act like a petulant child. And no, I'm not going to trawl through six years of posts to justify that - the very fact that this thread exists is all the evidence I need...

No, I think it's sad. I also think that it's unhealthy the amount of time you spend on here, and how you respond to these "discussions". You really should take a break and get some perspective.

Nope. Not going to happen, simply because *you* are the problem and if you can't even begin to recognise that then I'm not going to waste time attempting to explain it to you (as I and others have attempted, many times in the past). I understand Bernard's sympathy with your position, but John...
