Thanks to both of you !!! :D :D That's next Saturday morning accounted for.....

OK - I kind of know what I'm doing, but am not an electrician and therefore not fully up on the regs. I've trawled through various threads, and think the following statements are true, but could someone just nod their head or otherwise for me, please. I want to stick a plug socket in my...

This is also true - One night, my wife and I were sat in the front room and one of the cats came in and said something, very clearly, in perfect English. We both noticed it and remarked on how freaky it was, but neither of us can remember what it was that the cat said :? :?

OK - Thanks. So it sounds like cheap and cheerful extension for the current narrowband (actually the one I use at the moment, just rerouted) and then up to wireless come the revolution.....

Apologies if this is a daft question then, but does that mean I have to have the computer next to the main telephone point ? Or is this where wireless comes into it somehow ? Is there something wireless that effectively replaces the telephone extension ? I should know a lot more about this...

Gah ! I'd have come down here if I'd known about it, rather than have to give up forumming for three days. Could have talked about my ZX81 space invaders. The Invader was <x>, The spaceship was a half-block, inverted speech march, half-block. Invader appeared at a random place heading...

I am just moving my computer and need to run a telephone extension cable to its new location. The broadband revolution is yet to arrive in my village, but I figured I may as well be ready for it when it does. I think I'd heard that extension cables for broadband should be somehow fancier...

No offence to your Mum, but better that way round than vice-versa, I'd imagine... :D

Nope - Sounds like you've got all bases covered. As an alternative, you could try telling her all about your vibrant on-line life, 5000 posts to one forum and Cyber-Friends. If that doesn't get her, nothing will :D :D

Paint some old radiators black and stick 'em out in the garden (or on the roof) and they'll do the job too.....

Also, as my wife never tires of reminding me, after 12 pints you're not actually as 'hilarious' as you think you are either.... :oops:

Working in France once, I happened to be in a meeting on 6th January. Something to do with 12th Night, the whole company stops work for a 'feast of the kings' at dinnertime. At this feast, everyone gets to have a piece of their special cake, and if you find a little china king inside your...

I'm quite a fan of www.holymoly.co.uk/rules to while away the odd hour....

This is quite a hazy memory, but I'm fairly sure that my Brother hit someone's (big) dog once, and the dog-owners household insurance paid out for the damage to his car. My brother felt a bit guilty about pursuing it like this, until he got the garage bill !

I've just come back from a week in America and, amongst other stories that I picked up whilst over there..... 1) Three people were killed when a light-aircraft crashed into a car 2) A greyhound bus flipped over, seriously injuring 34 3) Two American children are killed EVERY DAY by...

You're my wife now, Dave.......... Stanley Unwin is the one from Carry on Regardless. But Kenneth Williams can translate him to the others, as he's the linguist.

Stanley Unwin's the guy you want.... http://www.stanleyunwin.com/

Not me. If you look back to our first post together I said that I didn't agree with you, but wanted your posts left up as I felt others would feel the same (of course, I didn't realise how many there were going to be at that point). The reason I have not been contributing to these threads...

If the Freeview box is connected to the video by SCART cables, would setting the video to AV1 not give Freeview at its RF output ? Then the kitchen telly could be tuned into that ? (This is a question, not an answer, btw.... :D - does a video player remodulate its SCART input is, a better...

You're Welcome. Thanks for the Thanks......
