    Sodastream Scandal

    From a bit of googling, it looks like the Alco2jet cylinders for this are refillable, by a dealer, and that they work in much the same way as Camping Gaz (in that you take an empty one back and pick up a full one). Have you definitely got your facts straight about this obsolescence ? The...

    a bit of fun

    Solérieux 'Only of your equals' http://www.flickr.com/photos/sergio_cadiz/2924288878/ I was going to say we would be metal until I got to the photo, and now I'm not so sure....

    Andrew Marr worst journalist on TV?

    Not TV, I know, but John Humphrys, Jim Naughtie and Nicky Campbell are all just as bad for butting in, and being more interested in trying to suss people out rather than listening to a whole response.

    PhONEday

    I remember the Yorkshire Evening Post running a front page story about how Leeds would be getting London's 'prestigious' 01 code - little knowing that so would everyone else :) Actually, I was 'Phone Day co-ordinator' at work. Wasn't so much of an issue in York, where it was just going from...

    Draining a Domestic LPG Tank

    I don't think this is possible, and will only lead to conducting a 'Big Bang' experiment of my own, but just in case..... Someone we know is having their domestic LPG tank removed and replaced with an Oil tank instead. The LPG tank is half-full, and they have said that if there is any way of...

    Multi fuel stove

    Not sure of the correct answer but it is, in theory at least, an installation that is covered by building regs so if you are having it installed professionally (which it sounds like you are) then the installer should have it covered. Incidentally, flue-pipe is much more expensive than you...

    Fresh start

    No matter how noble you think your intentions are, just bear in mind that a friend is just a woman you haven't shagged yet.....

    Political correctness gone mad.

    It may be a true story that that is what the station manager told you, but the rest is obviousl cobblers. I think he was having you on......

    Joe-90 on Utube?

    How about your guitar version of this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2q65-M1M90 - would be a pretty cool thing. Without the 'futuristic' sounds, obviously.....

    Forum schizophrenics.

    Undoubtedly some people out there who have dual personalities. I even signed up under another name once, just so I could be blatantly rude to Slogger - Now I wonder who his alter ego was ?? Don't think BAS and Softus are the same person though, FWIW. As for Esra Ptrap and Megawatt, who...

    Joe-90 on Utube?

    [/url] Is that a cheap dressing gown from IKEA hanging on your door ? If so, I'm ashamed to admit I have the same one.... Still think its great what you're doing here - I wouldn't have the ability or balls to do what you're doing. A little smile once in a while wouldn't go amiss though.

    Joe-90 on Utube?

    I'm going to have to join in with the throng taking their hat off to Joe - I'd love to be able to pick up a guitar and play/sing like that. And you had the balls to stick it up there. Not easy for anyone, but almost unheard of when you are a controversial character like you are. Proves you...

    A challege for megawatt.

    As a (reasonably) impartial observer, I tend to agree with Joe on this one....

    magic show

    This is my favourite magic clip, though probably fair to warn that its not really suitable for kids, or a crowded office.... thankfully I have never seen Paul Daniels do anything like it...

    Where my tax dollar is going

    Not sure about the 'watering when its raining' thing, but you usually water hanging baskets late, so the water doesn't all evaporate in the sunshine. Was it definitely water, not aphid spray, for example ? Might also have had plant food in, which they wouldn't get from rain.

    Strange things under floorboards

    Me and my Dad once found a ring under some floorboards. The top was black, and studded with some stones, which made up the numbers 1, 8, 7 and 6 placed on top of each other. It looked Victorian (or rather, not older than Victorian) so I guess it referred to 1876 or 1867, but I have no idea...

    Materials means materials and not tools right?!

    Just my opinion, but I would say charging for the consumables is reasonable. You'll pay for them one way or the other, and the fact he is being so transparent with his costing seems to be a good thing to me, rather than a bad one. If you are really bothered, you could ask him for all the...

    Hypothetical physics puzzle

    I'm going to take a guess that the plane would initially 'take off', due to the windspeed over the wings, but once up off the ground, it would start to move backwards due to the same wind. Once this happens, the relative windspeed over the wings will drop to (actual windspeed - backwards speed...
