Switching off at the socket won't help if lightening strikes the aerial. The TV would get fried anyway (the tuner unit at the very least). The TV may actually go bang. I think it's best to unplug a terrestrial aerial if a storm is approaching. Unplugging the mains or turning off at the TV...

No they're not ... I mean yes they are! Well, I'm not going argue about it :)

Most professionals who like to advise on forums will disagree on the best way to do things. I used to contribute to an electronics, TV and video recorder forum. I stopped doing it in the end because of all the back-biting between the advisors. You'd get arguments along the vein of... "My...

Reading around the computer forums, a few people seem to get a bit of trouble with the latest version of AVG. Avast is quite highly thought of. After doing a bit of reading regarding virus detection rates for the various antivirus programs, I settled on F-Prot. It isn't free but £15-00 a year...

I suppose at least that programme was on at a later time, unlike the soaps that show young and older people in bed together quite a bit. They are on at a time of day when TV should be free of sex scenes. I think some story lines and the accompanying bedroom scenes play their part in children...

Java has to be installed separately in Firefox too, so do the Shockwave and Flash players. These are used for animations etc. Sooner or later a site being visited will say it needs them for the page contents to be displayed properly. You can find them here...

What extensions do the files have that won't open? (.jpg - .pps for instance). Are you using Outlook Express for e-mail? If so, doing a repair job on Internet Explorer and Outlook Express might be the answer. I'm not sure of the procedure for that with Windows 2000. Repairing them in XP...

Firefox is a good browser but it does take a bit more setting up than IE to get the best out of it. Mozilla's policy seems to be to supply the basic browser and then leave users to add the customizations and defaults they prefer. Some of that involves adding bits of script to certain files but...

There is an extension for Firefox that makes it identify to sites as IE 6. Installing this could be the answer to that problem. Also, there's a Firefox extension for IE only sites. It puts 'Open this page in IE' in the right-click menu. This avoids the bother of starting IE up from scratch and...

Hello richtrace A read of this thread might be helpful.

Hello Surefire. Although your neighbour was the one who put the fence up, who is actually responsible for the boundary on that side of your house? For instance, who owns the back garden fence on that side? If the up-keep of the boundary on that side of your property is her responsibility, then...

Hasn't everybody tried that or something very similar then? :wink:

In the event of a break-in, nothing would stop me trying to protect our home. However, now the years are piling on a bit, the fact has to be faced that I might come off second best if I physically take on a burglar. This means I can quite bravely go on about the way I'm gonna smash the guy to a...

This is it pipme. You don't have to be drunk to drive badly and cause injury. People do that anyway. I was thinking about ninebob's situation again and wondering if the 'might have caused injury' scenario should be treated more leniently than the 'did cause injury' one. The conclusion is that I...

I don't see any words here condoning drunk driving. Only ones that are trying to make ninebob feel a bit better about what might happen now that this event has taken place. Nobody can change the fact that it has, so there seems little point in rubbing salt into the wound. Nothing said here will...

Coo! I'm glad I haven't been here long enough to be two-faced. If I stay around long enough and if anyone takes notice of my opinions over a period of time, it will be noticed I'm not the 'hang 'em high and remove their fingernails' type. This goes right across the board from prisoner abuse in...

You sure it's a B&Q shed? It could be a mobile store. I can just picture someone pulling alongside and asking Ellen for a box of number 6 screws and a couple of light-switches :wink:
