Why bother? If someone with the know-how to crack the WPA/2 security is looking to gain access then they will know how to identify and capture a hidden SSID. For e.g. http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=airodump-ng#hidden_ssids_length

I think Mythbusters covered this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUkjXGfCLIM :D

The big move in the past may well have been right after it was built - as your surveyor suggested, settling in to the clay, particularly if the clay became wet during construction and subseqently shrunk as it dried. I do wonder how surveryors gauge how long ago a particular movement was - seems...

On that pic of the front of the house - I don't know if it just an optical illusion, but the fixings for the gutter downpipe appear to be slightly further set in from the corner the further up the wall they go. Is the downpipe actually entirely vertical the whole way up or leaning slightly to...

Only problem is on several motorway routes I use the road ahead is never clear and that number of slower-moving vehicles is an endless train of HGVs. Thankfully the variable speed limit sections have taken care of the worst of the "I'm an advanced driver don't ya know" types, whose idea of...

The two links I included were the publically available links to the policies of the BNP and EDL. I didn't bring these two organisations into this discussion, you did - with this Interesting that both the BNP and the EDL are anti-muslim organisations. Why? If you haven't even spent the time...

http://www.bnp.org.uk/policies/immigration The BNP's policy is to put a complete stop to immigration regardless of race or religion. I can't find anything in their policies about religion at all. http://englishdefenceleague.org/home/about-us The EDL is not anti-muslim per se, their line is...

Sure, only a hermit could have missed the media and political opportunist circus since the murder of Lee Rigby. Has there been a massive rash of murders though? The way you phrase that, it seems you think the streets have turned into rivers of blood. There appear to have only been 3 since...

95% of what grief? What are you basing that figure on?

The only religion officially involved with politics in the UK is the Christian Church of England. Whilst the Queen is nominally the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, she appoints archbishops, bishops and deans of cathedrals on the advice of the Prime Minister. Which is an interesting...

That looks like a pretty terminal failure. The question is what caused it to pop and will it happen again if you simply replace the board (expensive way to find out if you just put a new board in!).

Entirely possible that the mice have damaged something. They do have a tendency to chew through wires and the like. And just by coincidence another thread popped up on here today about mouse damage in a boiler: http://www.diynot.com/forums/plumbing/mice-in-boiler.366605/

I'm no heating engineer, but logically it sounds like something else has shorted taking out the controller with it or vice versa. Maybe room thermostat, HW tank thermostat, a motorised valve, wiring etc. If you are confident using a multimeter and working around 240V AC safely, then have a...

It's still worth trying a gas check on those vac lines, the splits can be really easy to miss. I spent literally days with a a good torch looking over mine and failed to find it. Found it in a couple of minutes with the propane :) The only other suggestion I got at the time was a that a...

I had pretty much the same symptoms on my Mk3 1.8. Turned out to be a hole in a vacuum pipe. Problem finding it was because without the engine running the split was nigh on invisible, only opening up to cause problems when it went under vacuum. If you can't find any splits or holes just by...

Not a plumber here. But I just had a rummage through the assortment of o-rings in my toolbox and have an o-ring that is about that size (the outer diameter seems closer to 18mm). It came in a pack of Assorted O Ring 3/32" from Wickes. There's only one of that size in the pack, so you'd need...

Because they taste like chicken! :D

At a guess - home brew. 30 - 40 seconds to fill each pint bottle, then moving the next into place to fill making clinking noises. Bit odd to be every other day though as generally home brew beer is in the bucket for a week or so before bottling - although he could have several batches on the go...

One last (hopefully final!) update on this particular thread. New pump unit installed after a bit of cleaning of seal surfaces - heating and DHW is working well. (Thankfully the new pump came complete with a new auto de-aerator, on removing the old I found crusty deposits down the back where...

Umm, I think someone has misread. The OP stated he pays £40 / year not £40 / month.
