now i don't know all the facts on this one, but im sure i read somewhere that of all the aid and charity raised, 80% goes toward administration. most of the remaining 20% doesn't get to the intended recipients, as the 'corrupt govts' prevent access, and often keep it to themselves. so money sent...

so if you die whilst fighting for allah (ie suicide bombings), you'll be rewarded

can't keep chucking aid money etc at them, its all to waste. governments need changing, corrupt leaders need sorting out. and the whole of africa needs trillions of condoms dropped from the sky. you may be able to feed a family and alleviate their suffering, but the next generation?? millions...

haha, what are you on?? :D although its highly likely that its a muslim attack, lets wait and see exactly what the police come up with. its a shame that the people/government never took the islamic threat seriously. events like this could have been prevented years ago had we considered all...

sorry ban, i worded that quite badly. what i meant to say was, as far as im aware, the lowest fuse rating for that particular switchfuse, which i mentioned earlier, was only 80A. OSD type fuses: http://www.bussmann.co.uk/New%20LV/curves.pdf assuming the dno requests a switchfuse, as tails...

your upstairs lighting circuit, does it run off a 6A MCB?? if so, you can load 1400W in total onto it. how many watts do you currently have on it, and how many do you want to add on?? (you might want to add on the extractor fan here). if it totals less than 1400W, extend the circuit. your...

that cooling idea i mentioned earlier is not really viable right now, but could one day be used to convert heat energy into electrical. they say all energy conversions result in heat, and one day far far far away, there'll be no energy except heat. (red heat theory or something). anyway, read...

i agree that these indian call centres are highly frustrating. i think it's a ploy by these companies. with banks for example, a simple enquiry that usually took a couple of minutes, now takes absolutely ages while they try and figure out what's going on. so people are much less likely to...

it's ridiculous. they shouldn't have been allowed into the country in the first place. if they manage to get through, leave them in isolated detention centres out in the middle of nowhere, while their claims are processed. this would itself act as quite a deterrent to false applicants, and help...

based on what you've said, you have a PME supply. see reference and confirm this. is the cross-bonding in your place in correct condition?? very important, and should be dealt with now as you do the other electrical work. if you do have PME, you won't need the RCD at the beginning anymore. i...

AdamW - tut tut, i may have been unknowingly cursing you last week then. what are you really going to lose out if you stayed in the left lane: 1) if a road's rammed full, this is the one case where its acceptable not to be in the left lane. 2) this gimp (as you so eloquently put it :lol...

b.o.b. why so much hostility to adamw? in his post, he's explained that he now realises it was a mistake to post the picture. are you pro-hunting, hence your anger toward him?? incidentally, i would have posted the link to the picture, with a maybe a brief warning.

im sure ive read somewhere that voltage conversion in dc is possible, at much greater efficiencies than ac transformers. if this is the case, then dc power station (v high voltage) ->charging station -> voltage step down. waste would be minimal, due to the possibility of using v high voltages...

your comments on the rule of law make sense. however, there's a big difference between the relatively peaceful examples you've given, and terrorism, where innocent lives have been deliberately taken. i disagree. who did they expect would support them? anti-war (anti-violence) lobbyists would...

ditto. exactly what should be done here.

no prob. it'll take 3core 25mm2 in no problem, although as you'll know the cable's a pain to work with. his drawing just happens to be right next to me. so here it is, you won't learn much from it, but just incase you were curious. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y278/user56565/switchfuse.jpg

from http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4676861.stm so deport to pakistan. how long for? the rest of their lives?? id then agree this as a valid option. but thats unlikely (with the current british legal system), and they'd maybe be imprisoned for a short term, or released early, etc.. in this...

well answered ban. ultimate - yes, providing you use the correctly sized cables. the problem is you are basing all this on an assumption on what load the sunbed will require. if you know which one you're getting, contact manu and get the electrical load details. once you know what the load...

sorry, first time but disagree with you ban.. the switchfuse combines both protection and isolation facilities, so why not use it for both purposes?? edf requested a switchfuse (SWA 'tails' running >3m, to CU) and they also requested a lower rated fuse for discrimination purposes. iirc...

petewood - of course not. but often categorising gets mistaken for racism. its sad but the police would probably do this, and let the muslims carry on. i mean they didn't do anything about those celebrating on 9/11, did they?
