I've never thought about that before, I assume that it's the bit they make guns from. :?

OMG, I've just re-discovered this site and can't believe I've missed all the action of this thread. Did you know the root system of trees is only there to hold the things down. (Stops them floating away in times of high atmospheric density.) Some people think that they draw moistue up to...

Well they were, about 15 months ago, but I think they're getting over it now. :wink:

Unless you are in a position where you can dictate that ALL of your users use Internet Explorer, I would avoid Front Page like the plague. It makes use of Proprietry Internet Explorer attributes, that are not supported by other browsers. Microsoft is about to drop all support for frontpage...

You may be right that there are other changes. Likely as not, it will have set the default connection to be used for access the internet. I would have thought, though, that these changes would be applied across the board to Internet Explorer. Do you still have a version of Internet explorer...

How have you got a "customised" version of internet explorer. From what I gather, whenever you change settings in IE, it applies to any future incidence of IE that you open. If you go into Start.. Settings.. Control Panel.. Internet Options.. Connections.. Setup.. This will run the...

Worked a treat recently on my cream leather sofa. Pesky grandchildren had daubed all over it with biro. Took quite a bit of hairspray (couple of cans), but eventually brought it up, good as new. The longer the biro has to dry out, the harder it gets. More recently I caught some within an...

I've got the wife an outdoor TV aerial complete with the fixing brackets and mast. We have a TV in the bedroom, and she wants to be able to use the freeview box on it. The current aerial is OK for terrestial, but the digital box just doesn't get a decent enough signal. BTW. I've NEVER...

Merry Xmas to all. I'm just taking a break from cleaning the cooker up. I can't remember why I volunteered for this job, but I suddenly got it into my head that I'd make sure it's absolutely gleaming for later today. So far I've been on it for about 5 hours. It is starting to look good...

I must confess, I haven't followed the case too closely, but my guess is that the murder was planned between the girl, and the chap that has been charged. I'd imagine that they didn't expect anyone to get caught. Having been caught, though, he's hardly going to admit, yeah we planned it...

I have an interesting ongoing issue with NTL at the moment. My mother died in May of this year. She had an account with NTL so I called them to ask them to disconect the line and send me a final bill. They then informed me that I would need to transfer the contract into my own name BEFORE...

I don't see any reason to assume a divine engineer at work. There are a great many phenomena that appear to have been "designed", as the odds of such things occurring naturally just seem too ridiculous to comprehend. Well now look at the odds of getting all six numbers on the national...

Alternatively, you could play a blow torch on it. If you bungalow burns down, you'll know it wasn't asbestos :lol:

I'll knock up a few diagrams to post later. The all time worst place I found for this was Hereford. I was staying there on a temporary basis and rented out a part furnished cottage on short term lease. Wanting to make up a Cabin Bunk to allow my granddaughter to come visit, I went around all...

Or murderers that we're too squeemish to deal with :roll:

On a single storey building, Easy job for any half competant DIYer (with a mate). It's possible, some were. If you could post a picture of some of those crumbly areas, chances are, someone on here will be able to identify the material involved. crumbly asbestos has a fairly distinctive...

Is that a circular saw or a jigsaw. For long straight cuts circular saw is definitely the way to go. Due to the exhorbitant price of a decent straight edge, I ended up making my own 8 footer out of a piece of MDF with a piece of aluminium section on the edge. (I don't know what the ali...

Why not be individual and call it the Ball Room. In my household, my workshop has always been called "the study", purely as an ironic term. In my old house we also had "the minstrels gallery" which consisted of a small platform (no bigger than 4ft x 3ft) that I built above the stairs to house...

Yeah that and the coincidence that he is the one identified by the girlfriend of the victim, as the one that put cable ties around her wrists and a sack over her head, before the deed. Oh and also the cctv evidence of a vehicle identical to his just down the road, being driven by someone...
