Didn't I read this next week!?

DL, thanks very much for the help.

This is part of a package via work so I have the choice of this monitor only. Use would mainly be MS-office based stuff but the PC will have software for video editing also. I might also look at getting a TV reception card but would 12ms be OK for that? Choice of CPU for the PC is between a...

I look forward to reading it in my local paper.

Probably not the school's fault this time. There have been previous reports of Disney threatening legal action over use of copyright material wthout permission or payment.

There is an advert for motorcycle insurance (Bennetts) which shows the speedo registering 146mph.

How does a response time of 12ms for a 19" TFT monitor compare with current standards? Is this within an acceptable range? (I don't have any Mhz referesh rate for the monitor).

Thanks for the replies. I will try the hire shop. I need to fix a small leak in the conservatory roof but it is completely inaccessible - the roof will not support my weight.

I need to get above a lean-to conservatory which is 12 ft wide X 8 ft deep. There is limited space and the job to do is small so I want to avoid the cost of scaffolding. What is the maximum length of scaffold plank available? Is there a suitable length plank to span this width?

I always thought it was 'Lord Oh Lord'.

If you want to go into the Sistine Chapel don't wear shorts - even tailored ones - they will not let you in. Also, women have to have their arms covered otherwise they are not admitted.

The taxi driver thread reminded me that once (a long time ago) I did a runner from a taxi - the driver was a complete plank and took me the long way round (several diversions) to my destination - for some reason he seemed to think that I didn't know the area! I thought I would retaliate by not...

The toilet tissue ad with the toddler executive "Can't talk now, I'm in the car" as he is being pushed along in his toy motor!

How many rolls of paper did you need?

While I was working in London I took a black cab back to a hotel, I asked the driver where I could get a copy of the Taxi Driver's Highway Code. He replied it's hard to get hold of but there are only three pages in it anyway!!
