Do you have some sort of machine, where you just think stuff and it appears on the screen ?? The Happy Slapping was the best one.........

You've just given me an idea...... :wink:

Unfortunately I think you're going to have a long, long wait. If he had any integrity, he would have resigned a long time ago. Given that his stated reasons for wanting war (WMD, remember, not the belatedly tagged on wanting to free Iraqis from oppression) was so demonstrably wrong, that...

If you disconnect the inlet hoses on your pump, does water come out of the pipes ? Its not switched off at an isolator, is it ? Was it always this way, or has it just stopped ?

Just a quick note, in case you are anything like my Dad and have moved to France but buy all your taps, showers, etc in England and bring them over 'cos you haven't learnt the language and therefore find M.Bricolage too daunting a prospect (and if you aren't anything like my Dad then read no...

Though we should, of course, just wait a couple of hours and see what comes out, there could be something in that. The bus bomb went off in Bethnal Green which is, of course, George G's constituency. Tube drivers should get extra anyway - It must be hard enough for normal train drivers...

Apparently a man's been arrested in Downing Street. About bloddy time too - Should've happened two years ago...... Oh, just read further, its not Tony :( :(

Any one should do, as you are going to be detecting the difference between a short circut (couple of Ohms) and an open circuit, but may as well go for the 200.....

If you've got 3 black and red pairs (or blue and brown) then I'd do the following: 1) Isolate the supply. Either turn off the mains to the whole house (preferable, in my opinion), or the light circuit. 2) Separate out the three different pairs 3) Set your Multimeter to measure Ohms...

Now I don't know enough about money to fully flesh out this theory but, in the old days, up to Charles & Diana's wedding I think but maybe Andrew and Fergie, the Royal Mint would produce a commemorative crown with a face value of 25p. Nowadays, you have to buy a £5 commemorative coin...

That's because of the weakness of the dollar - it is probably just as expensive for the average American to buy it in Dollars (relative to disposable income) as it would be for you to buy it in Pounds. If you'd bought it in Dollars 4 years ago, it would have cost you about 60% more than it did...

Well I went to the pictures yesterday - Me, My Wife, One 5-year old and One 3-year old (to see Madagascar, if you're really interested). Sunday morning, special rate - £20.80. I actually made that sort of 'Oo-Choo-Choo' noise that Boss Hogg used to make whenever he'd been thwarted (or am I...

I meant to comment on this at the time, but forgot, but your second linked reminded me. Apparently Road Deaths dropped to the lowest levvel since 1926, and was about 3,200. Given that next to no-one had cars, and they all went slowly, how on earth did they have that many deaths in 1926 ...

I've got an LPG tank and, to be honest, even if I changed over to gold & diamond-powered water heating, I can't imagine any circumstances in which it could possibly cost more.......

Oh yeah - I forgot to put in some good points, didn't I....... Much less 'yobbery' in the US. Near Christmas you can drive round and see people have put manger scenes out on their front lawn, or in front of their business, or even in public parks and they stay there unmolested throughout...

I work for a US company and spend about a month a year there. Its not all its cracked up to be: 60 hour working weeks 10 days holiday if your lucky Large choice, but low quality goods Big gap between rich and poor, and getting bigger No job security ****-weak beer Consumerism gone mad...

Given that the Rover 600 is the world's best car (Source: Me) I would agree with that. Go to France and you see nothing but Renaults, Citroens and Peugeots. Go to Germany and its the same with Audi, Volkswagen and BMW, so we could definitely have done with a bit more 'Buy British' to safeguard...

I think, given that the wages are comparatively high compared to the average, that Indians see working in a call-centre as a long-term prospect, rather than the short-term one it would be over here. So it might be a bit shaky at the moment, but in theory you should get a more experienced...

Apparently South Africa is about to become the new India, when it comes to call centres......

I moderate on a consumer complaints website, and our names are published. then again, there is no equivalent to the General Chat section here, so things don't get so heated. Don't envy the moderator on here at all - They're all voluntary and I expect they pretty much had to give up last...
