    mobile phone mast

    Touche !! (Sorry, don't know how to put accents on) But I still come back to my original point. IF you believe that this represents a health hazard, and if you use a mobile, it is still in your interests to be as near to a mast as possible.

    mobile phone mast

    This is not intended to get into a point-for-point rebuttal that you would see from the bad old days of DIYNot (about two weeks ago) but 3G communications do not use some magic variant of microwave radiation, and the effects of old-fashioned microwave radiation are well documented. Yes, you...

    mobile phone mast

    Firstly, let me start by saying that you are at no risk of getting cancer from mobile phone related radiation BUT IF you did believe that you were, then it would be to your advantage to have a mast as close to your house as possible. IF there was a risk (and there isn't) then you would be in...

    Iraq

    Nothing wrong with a good conspiracy theory because it shows people are at least thinking about the official line and whether it holds water or not. Some will be true, some won't, but there will always be those who will respond to any dissent with some cheap jibe about Kennedy or The Moon...

    Madonna and child

    As a more general point, there are a lot of kids now that are kind of famous from birth, like the various Beckhams and Madonna's other children, or Jordan's kids. It is probably going to be very hard for them to grow up without being f*cked up to some degree.....

    Madonna and child

    For the particular child, this is going to be a bit like winning the lottery, albeit meaning that its going to spend its life in the public eye, and it can't be a bad thing on an individual level, but if she really wanted to do something for Malawian children as a whole, she would have been...

    pampas grass

    I was told about it at Christmas, and then a couple of days later there was a Comic Strip programme on telly that mentioned it. I was starting to wonder if this meant it was a universally recognised code or, given that Adrian Edmondson's Dad lives in our village, it was unique to us. Guess...

    Light Switch problem

    Only one is live. I think that when you took Spark123's advice in the first place, you actually had an additional complication in that you had the live in L1 at the time. Assuming Spark123 is correct, you need to have two in Com and one in L1. I don't think you can go wrong by just...

    Waiting for Change

    Ooo.....I'd take issue with that. Maybe I'm not very manly, but I'll always do the change thing if possible. If I crack into a tenner to buy a pack of Salt & Vinegar Discos then I will mysteriously pss the rest up against a wall within the next couple of hours (especially if the change was all...

    Waiting for Change

    If you buy something in a shop and have a penny change coming to you, does it look tight to wait for it to be given, or does it look arrogant to walk off without wanting it. I always thought the latter, but increasingly people are acting as if its the former. What is the correct approach...

    ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

    Actually, they just provide some spaghetti asterisks so that you can do your own auto-censoring.

    ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

    Apologies in advance if my irony monitor is down, but of course Alphabet Spaghetti isn't banned. If you believe that it is, then that is just one more example of what was being talked about in a different thread, where people are too ready to believe the patently ridiculous. And, as you've...

    Life but not as we like it.

    Call me naive, but I don't think that one woman being asked to comply with her company's published 'No Visible Jewellery' rule is going to destabilise the world too much......... These must be troubled times for the 'PC Gone Mad' angry brigade. On the one hand, the fact that she is suing...

    Elastic Band Ball

    Not sure what you're driving at here, but assuming that the volume of a rubber band remains constant however tightly it is stretched, then the rate of actual volume growth remains the same, but the relative volume growth decreases. For example, say you start with 10 bands in your ball, and...

    So lets recap the story...... Girl turns up late and has to sit at the last free space with some Indian children GIRL: Please Miss, I want to learn, as do my brethren here, but I find the language barrier between us is hampering both my and their development. TEACHER: Racist Scum...
