...snooker ones :) Once upon a time, you could get a snooker/pool table top that sat upon your existing dining table, such as this. But they seem to have stopped making them as I can't find a supplier who says they have any in stock. Every google search I try either returns Folding Tables...

Pedantic point - I believe in Switzerland the gun ownership isn't mandatory, but because most of the population serve a conscripted period in the militia and are required to keep their service rifle, pistol and a small amount of army issue ammunition at home. I think this may have changed in...

The Police don't like it when you do the job they're supposed to be doing for them.

It's funny when people make basic spelling mistakes when trying to correct others, 'tis the sign of a true BE11 END ;) My original sentence we perfectly valid in common English usage in the UK, US, Canuckdia, Australia or New Zealand. I guess English is taught a little differently where you...

I know. I was waiting for RedNosedRougeHanger there to miss the reference, being the expert on British culture that he is ;) (NB as I recall the sign changed every episode. It would make a good if evil pub quiz question to ask you to list all the signs)

If you're quoting Dad's Army, just remember Don't mention the war. I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it.

:D If you're interested Peter, I've got 4 litres of genuine Castrol Edge 5w30 in the original bottle - only used once! Yours for £10 ex P&P :D

Ahh, clever these Governments, aren't they? For years now they've carefully cultivated the image they're all corrupt bureaucrats who couldnt organize the proverbial in a brewery, when really they're exceptionally cunning geniuses managing to keep 98% of the Western world fooled with smoke and...

I did start to reply to this with supporting weblinks, then a mate I hadn't seen in six months knocked on the door and I realized I had more interesting things to do. Besides, any factual evidence in support of the opposing side of the argument would be discounted by you anyway as racist western...

In 2003, around a million people in the UK marched in protest against the invasion of Iraq. Terrorists blow up skyscrapers, trains, themselves and attack civilians and/or off-duty unarmed soldiers, and a handful of UK Muslims might mumble quietly into their beards, then duck back below the...

I suppose the obvious answer is that if the makers say so, it should be okay. Provided of course the stud it's mounted to isn't likely to fall over with 30kg of telly hanging off it!

I can't for the life of me remember the weblink, but a while back someone on one of the US forums for performance Japanese cars got hold of a number of metal canister type oil filters (For a Nissan I think) - genuine, pattern parts, ebay specials and 'performance' parts, and basically dissected...

And I'll just stand here waiting for the other shoe to drop... :wink:

At risk of invoking Godwin's Law, I reckon given the circumstances, RNReindeer/RougeHanger/InsertAlias would be standing at the gates of Auschwitz* berating the liberating allied soldiers for being racist against the Nazis... *I may have spelt that wrong. The office coffee machine is broke.

Quick Q I should've asked earlier but - One of my rads has decided to spring a leak around the top blanking/vent plug. The fibre washer seems to have perished, but at least I've reduced the leak to a weep that can be caught with newspaper and the heat of the rad dries off before it drips...

Never underestimate the incompetence of the DVLA!

All that happens in that case is the old owner gets a fine from the DVLA for having an untaxed car, even if it isnt caught on an ANPR camera. I had the misfortune to live next to a pair of scrotes who were on the run from half the debt collectors and latterly policemen in Essex, and they'd buy...

It's cheap filler TV, but its cheap filler TV that's actually better than a lot of what get's pushed on the main channels as entertainment these days. Certainly better than 75% of BBC3!

*Disclaimer - I haven't had my morning coffee yet. My brain is running at low capacity* But if you're using the AV amp Pre-Outs to supply the Line-In for the Hi-Fi amp, aren't you therefore using the Pre-Amp section from the AV Amp rather than the (probably far superior) Pre-Amp section of...
