In defence of Softus..... For the people that, for some reason, like Bernard Manning, one of their mantras is on the lines of 'Good Old Bernard ! He tells it as he sees it, and he doesn't care who he upsets. He doesn't keep quiet because what he say isn't deemed acceptable in this day and...

If you've added 10% on to a figure, your new number is 110 % of the old number. To get back, divide by 110, to tell you what 1% would have been. Then multiply by 100 to tell you what the original 100% number was. (or just divide by 1.1 if you want to miss out the interim steps)

I missed this epsiode. What did they do when they hacked moz's account ? Did they post a series of soap-opera versions of his life that everyone but the most credulous observer could tell was utter cobblers ? That would be cruel...

Nor me....

What Ho ! Not been anywhere as such, but lost a bit of my mojo when it came to forums. Does seem to be a quite a few people disappeared, from what I remember.

Oh...Markie.... In many ways, I hope you weren't slogger. He was a nasty, small-minded bully, that spoilt a good fun forum for many people. The sheer unrelenting red-mist bile that came from him makes me think he can't have been a 'character' from a normal person like yourself. Having said...

Ah well - Kind of expecting that was the case. Not really worth mending, given its age.....

I've got a ten-year old Indesit WDG1095W and it has stopped turning. It goes through the rest of the cycle as per usual - Fills, Drains etc., but does not turn or spin. It doesn't look like the brushes are worn, and there is continuity from the brush connector to the end of each brush...

I have a Stoves 600EF fitted oven in my kitchen which, I guess, is about 12-13 years old, like the rest of the kitchen. A few years ago it developped an intermittent fault with the timer module, which fails in such a way so that the oven cannot be used. We had it replaced at the time, but...

Depends on the size of the sphere, I think..... Surface area of a sphere = 4 pi r^2 Surface area of cylinder = pi r^2 h = pi r^2 2r (in this case) So the sphere's surface area is 2/r times larger than that of the cylinder.... (EDIT: Toasty's answer reveals what I have just written to...

Just a quick note of pedantry - 2.4GHz is pretty much the same frequency that a microwave oven works at, and is directly in the water absorption band. There is a range of unlicensed , frequencies around there that are set aside for what is known as ISM purposes (Industrial, Scientific and...

Try Googling on Alex Lovell - Its impossible not to watch. (I won 1500 quid on Brainteaser (the show of which Moz speaks) earlier this year, so am cheerfully disposed towards it)

http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=10907&first=yes Here's how I did..... You scored as Satanism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Satanism! Before you scream, do a bit of research on it. To be a Satanist, you don't actually have to believe in Satan. Satanism...

I think the whole thing stinks. The US and UK make a big song and dance about they don't 'do' state-sponsored assasinations as if that gives them a moral high-ground. However, in order to circumvent this, they have trumped up a war, puppet government and show trial to get the same result at...

Well it's been nearly 13 years now, and at least 8 years since I stopped fearing the hand on my shoulder.........

....and me :wink: (not that I didn't try to pay, but Leeds City Council were too incompetent to collect it. When I went back to my old house to collect some post, there was a six-week old summons there, so I decided that was no time to stick my head above the parapet. Haven't heard...

I always suspected you were lying when you said that my slide show was, and I quote, "most invigorating"......

Good moderating should be almost invisible, in my opinion, not a constant dialogue.......

It's not you, it's me...... I just thought it would be better if we tried seeing other fora as well. (And the excessive modding could get one's goat, if you let it)

Beg to differ on the position of JohnD's brackets, as that implies you do the pi x r first and then square the whole lot, whereas you do the r-squared first and then multiply by pi. Answer is about 18.1 sq.m though, but I gues you need to allow a lot more for offcuts than usual as you are not...
