Do a James Bond :lol: Slide into the 'drop' on the left with a rapid action - the car will end up on two wheels in a vertical position and you can slip past the horse in front. The car will right itself again as the female passenger climbs over onto the drivers lap :wink: If Connery...

Thanks for the input. My m8 brought the ticket in today. It was issued by the Met Police for "harrassing members of the public at 7.40 a.m. on Sat 5th August" on a London Street. Strangely, the paperwork has been passed on to [and accepted by] Strathclyde Police and Paisley...

My mate's 19 year old daughter received a £100 fpn from London for drunk & disorderly - only snag is she's in Glasgow and has never set foot in the capital :shock: Only 3 options on the form - Pay up / ask for a Court appearance / ignore and see fine increased. Phoned an advice centre...

Cheers, I'll be up in the loft tonight then :lol: Homer

Toilet wasn't filling last night so I turned it off at the valve just under the cistern and dismantled the siphon/ballcock and cleaned/checked the washers etc. While I had the assembly off I gingerly opened the shut off valve again - expecting the water to enter the cistern unopposed...

That still implies a driver issue to me. A software modem uses the CPU to carry out its work - a hardware one uses its own steam basically. It shouldn't have any bearing on connecting - then again, it will have different drivers to the ones you are using at the moment so that in itself might...

Certainly sounds like a driver issue - you could try searching for alternative drivers and 'hope' they give better results. Also, some ISP's have different numbers for different types of modems as Ecosse do - check yours is on the right one if applicable. Homer

I don't think it applies only to BT customers - simply the fact that you must have a BT line - so anyone with Pipex / Demon / Plusnet etc. can also upgrade. Homer

Up here they are know as NEDS = Non-Educated DeliquentS. Generally attired in fake burberry cap tilted skywards, trackie bottoms tucked into football socks and a variety of fake gold "sovvies". In the case of the female of the species, this is accessorised by a roll of fat cut in two by a...

You'll find the majority of carpets are now sold in 4 metre widths - with some available in 5 metre widths. Homer

I have a friend who had it fitted in the kitchen. Basically, they can do you any colour, any design and any manner of inticate inlay you so desire. All they ask is you leave the signed cheque blank ..................... they fill in the zeros at the end in the comfort of their penthouse...

Me too :lol: :lol: I'm not one of the [alleged] 2/3rds of Scots who apparently would support England if they played Germany :shock: :shock: in the World Cup. Even the BBC Sports commentator was unwilling to accept the results of the poll :roll: Maybe the poor southern journalist...

Management paying the wages - absolutely no chance whatsoever!! The number of managers in the NHS is growing at almost 2.5 times the rate of the increase of doctors and nurses, and there are 4.5 more managers per nurse in the NHS than in the private sector. There's a blatant misuse of our...

Not necessarily true. The Government is always shooting its mouth off with reference to 'how many extra millions' it is ploughing into the Health Service. Unfortunately, with the incompetence, corruption and ever growing army of buraucrats [that Blair has been directly responsible for] - our...

One GP says he is happy with his pay and work life balance - hardly reflective of the average GP. How many other countries provide a free system that is better than our own NHS then? No doubt if you have the means to go private you'll get a different level of service - how many citizens of this...

Bear in mind of course that a recovery cd option will return your PC to the day it was 'bought. i.e. All files/documents/photos etc will be erased taking this option. If no cd writer, can you transfer important data/photos etc onto USB stick? Also, as it's 4 years old, [and I'm...

Where did you get these figures from? Was that for a basic 9-5 week? or was it for 9-6 + 3 nights on call midweek + the odd 12 hour shift at the weekend? If it was the latter, I'd say worth every penny. Homer

Other factors could have led to that figure. If a couple split up and one party stays in the house and 'buys' the other out - the final figure may reflect that. i.e. house 'values up' at 300K - a offers b 100K in settlement and remortgages house for 200K to fund settlement. Figure for 'sale'...

Do you mean it is a vented dryer and you simply don't have a suitable hose? [they are available for under a tenner at B&Q] You'll have problems with both condensation and fluff/dust everywhere - the extractor will not suffice. Sorry if this sounds obvious - but could it be a condensing...

Phonedf BG Tuesday night - arranged for Thursday pm [anytime between 1-6pm]. M-I-L kindly agreed to house sit :P Engineer arrived 1.20pm :roll: I called just after he arrived and explained mid-position valve scenario. He was genuinely pleased I'd diagnosed the fault for him...
