The left hand ball moves up slightly. (Later on in the full show it's very noticeable that it's higher than all the rest). This indicates a switch, but I'm not quite sure how. EDIT: OK, the suggestion is that the left side (from the viewer's perspective), where the balls are, is for some of...

I didn't actually see the full show, but obviously he in some way actually wrote the prediction AFTER the actual draw. What ****es me off is the bullshit 'explanation' Derren Brown himself gives, wisdom of the crowds nonsense and so on. He's not going to tell us how it's really done of...

Does it drain into a trap like this? (washing machine drain hose connected to sidearm) If so, check the sidearm actually allows flow. Some years ago we had our washing machine plumbed in, and the goofball who did it (not a professional plumber) forgot to cut the end off the sidearm...

Indeed :oops:

Argos's prices for ink cartridges are rubbish. You can find much better prices for originals online, both black and tricolor 350/351XL can be had for £23 on Amazon. Remanufactured carts are of course cheaper, but my previous printer broke shortly after installing such carts. Probably...

1920x1080 sounds about average for a modern monitor. I had a 19 inch CRT once that I think could do more than 1080 vertically, and that was pretty old. Regarding the OP: Only if the LCD TV is 1080 high definition - ie it has 1080 actual physical horizontal lines. ('HD' TVs with only 720 lines...

HP offer XL ink cartridges, which are much better value. Even within them, the different cartridges are different. Number 350 - BEST. The black XL cartridge is rated for 900 to 1000 pages. Number 300 - GOOD, though not as good as the 350. Number 21/22 - POOR. Gonna cost you twice as much as...

Ah, I see. Thanks.

Can you explain? Sorry, I'm a bit confused here. Am I wrong in how an RCD works? If a circuit's dead, there should be no current flowing in either live or neutral, right. Thus, shorting neutral to earth, still no current. Am I missing something? (EDIT: You're right that if one cuts through...

EDIT: What I wrote in this post is WRONG, so ignore it. Others have explained why. If the RCD tripped when you cut the cable then I reckon that cable was LIVE, and you're lucky to be (a)live yourself. I'm no spark, but I think RCDs trip if there's a current imbalance between live and...

Yeah, that's the same mechanism. And it seems the arrowhead ISN'T properly engaging the socket. (The socket is at a much more obtuse angle than the arrowhead, I wouldn't be surprised if that's wrong) Sliders don't look cracked. I don't think replacing the hinges would be possible. For one...

Tried some spray lube (probably wrong sort I know), that makes the windows easier to close (so prob worth doing given some are annoyingly stiff), but still the gap. It does tend to be at the hinge end. Seals are present. Don't know what you mean by 'openers dropped'. The striker pads are...

Yeah, housing association, so a bit cheapskate. Then again, I've no idea how old they are. Older than 6 years (how long we've lived here). Possibly double glazing wasn't so popular when they were fitted. Actually annoying, because the landlord are replacing old timber windows with double...

If you have an O2 mobile, O2 broadband is £7.50 a month for the cheapest. I've found their service reliable - the occasional brief drop, but never a prolonged outage. Real speeds are about 4 Mbps down, 0.9 up - from an 'up to 8 Mbps' in an urban area. The supplied router works fine. (The...

Our house has single glazed UPVC windows. And most of them have gaps (some rather big) between the opening panels and the outer frame. (Not between plastic and glass). Said gaps are supposed to be sealed by black rubber strips, but aren't - whether the rubber is damaged, or the frames warped, I...

Yeah, it's definitely twin core and earth. And seven strands (for each of the live and neutral) seems about right.

This cable looks like 4mm, am I right? (See picture. Upper scale is cm, lower inches) Am I correct in thinking that's not enough for a cooker with a maximum current draw of 10.4 kW, and thus a new cable would need to be run? EDIT: Actually, I may have been a dumbass. 4mm diameter !=...
