    Replacement Hettich kitchen hinges

    The detachable end looks remarkably like the hinges Ikea sold with their old Faktum system - not sure the hinges for their new kitchen range are the same, but might be worth taking a look.

    Can't use TV as a monitor for Windows 7 PC

    The fact you can see the Windows splash screen on the TV when booting rules out a number of connectivity issues at both ends. Basically, it's working until you get into Windows proper. Ergo, the issue is with Windows. Connect the TV as a secondary display to your PC / Laptop, go into Windows...

    80s amps

    I had a very similar issue. My Hi-Fi ran (runs, when I put it all back together) a Rotel 820BX amp and a pair of Castle speakers - sound quality is pretty damn good for a 'budget' system. When I went to upgrade to an AV amp I bought largely on spec and got a Marantz SR5300, hooking it up to my...

    RE: cutback adhesive

    Sure they were black and not very dark brown? I had some thin, dark brown tiles that were like Bakelite on the floor in my current place.

    Secrecy

    The reason why most of the UK don't know about Dario Franchitti (Beautiful British name, as The Pub Landlord would say..) is that he never really competed in any of the premier motorsports in the UK. Got as far as F3, then off to Germany for DTM, then the US for Indycars, where as long as you...

    Secrecy

    Try playing it with a not very good batter and not very good bowler, and you're fielding out towards the boundry just in case someone gets a freak hit... Cricket's only exciting when played by good players, it doesn't translate as well to the casual mates game in the park as football, where...

    Coax cable for freeview, complete re-wire and distribution

    I've just replaced/upgraded my parents 20 year old unbranded Aerial Amp (bought from a market stall) with a Vision 4-way variable gain masthead amp. When re-ending the cables with F-plugs I found one of them was a cable with aluminium foil insulation only and a dozen strands of ally wire running...

    Painting behind pipes

    My kitchen diner project continues, (now that I've recovered from the disaster of using a tin of paint as a paperweight!) and I need to paint behind the pipes leading to my rad. I have two 15mm copper pipes about 30-40mm apart running all the way down the wall - far enough apart I need to paint...

    Egg box partition and load bearing

    My CH radiators are held to my eggbox/plasterboard walls with toggles. Including a 1800x400 double banked monster in the dining room. I was quiet surprised when we took the rad off and found what had been holding it up all this time.

    40 UK Terror Plots Foiled In Last 10 Years

    Memo to self: Your leg is not a cutting board.

    Stanley knives are both fantastic and dangerous, and should be treated with the utmost respect... I was doing some carpet fitting last year, trimming the edge with a fresh blade, transferred the knife from one hand to the other and accidentaly rested it on the back of my thumb - no movement...

    Meat...

    I believe pork goes bad faster than other meats*, which is quiet a valid concern in a hot country. *If my memory of the Mythbusters episode with hog carcass in a secondhand corvette serves me right.

    New Google Calendar app for Android

    I've just this second upgraded mine and yes, the new format is awful. Style over Substance and a Week now only has 5 days. Looks like you can't regress to an earlier version either :(

    Mercedes.

    Word is that Toto Wolff (Team Co-boss with one Mister Lauda..) is desperate to talk contract extension for Lewis to stay at Mercedes beyond 2015. I'm glad to see Williams making a comeback this season, and Vettel being outshone by Riccardo on a regular basis now that Red Bull aren't dominant :D

    Mercedes.

    Well, Ze Germans were rather miffed when Rosberg took Hamilton out early on in the Belgian GP, and he only has to finish second to win the title, so I think it'll be fair play down the line.

    EE missed call problems

    I get these occasionally. I had one just this morning, sitting at my desk with the phone on charge next to me I get a Voicemail notification - phone never rung and didnt get the Missed Call on the display. To hazard a guess I'd say the network is too busy to connect to your phone or takes so...

    Interior working lights for van

    I bought a pair of 30cm stickyback LED flexi-strips with white 5050 LEDs from a Chinese seller on EBay for a couple of quid and put them in the boot of my car. The light output is amazing and I'm very pleased indeed :) Only fly in the ointment is the sticky isn't very sticky (it claims to be...

    Cheap kitchen units?

    I'm after a couple of *emphasis* cheap kitchen units or similar cupboards to organise or at least conceal the junk in my front porch. The DIY sheds dont seem to do the rock bottom basic cheapo stuff anymore and Ikea, my go-to site for cheap gear, has changed their range and the new stuff is...
