Not been around for a while, so sorry this is late. I'm not missing the failings of representative democracy at all. It's just not the point I made. The original point was that over 50% of the people voted for this government. My point was that nobody voted for a coalition. We each, if we...

Blair did do Letterman, albeit he was an ex-PM by the time he did it. Though not by much. I see no problem with a PM doing a chat show if he wants, and he even got a fairly easy ride from Letterman. Frankly, Cameron got a harder time from Jonathan Ross. It's a risk though. If it goes...

Also, be aware that if you do sign up, you agree to provide them with personal data, including postal address, email and mobile phone number, and to them using that data for all sorts of marketing purposes, and to them disclosing it to third parties for that purpose. If you don't mind that...

I know what representative democracy is, but what was said was that over 50% of those voting voted for this government. They did not. They voted for one MP, based on the manifesto and other factors. Once elected as MPs, they stitched up this coalition, and it is certainly not the only thing they...

Perhaps his view is that living in a toilet is better than being extradited to what he regards as a cesspool? Well, he hasn't, exactly. It's a temporary stay, and should be heard early next week, so arguably, it makes little difference as it was taking some time for the hand-off to US...

Allegedly. We still don't actually know what he said. And probably never will, unless CCTV caught it, and I suspect that if that existed, it'd have come out by now. It's pretty clear he threw a wobbly, and swore, not least because he's admitted it. But he categorically denies the "words...

Oh, I can't resist that. This is the first government in my lifetime that had nobody actually vote for them. Those that voted Tory didn't vote for a coalition. Those that vote LibDem didn't vote for a coalition. And those that voted for any other party sure didn't vote for a coalition...

Noted, on the sleeving. And yes, to taking the connection from the light. Or rather, the existing connection comes from the light fitting. It's a loop-in system with the bathroom light coming from a junction box between bedroom lights, and the feed for the extractor fan being taken from...

Got several, from a cheapy digital job to a venerable old ex PO (when what's now BT was still the Post Office, and they still did phone lines), to my favourite, an ancient Avo. As I said, I will meter prior to connecting. Electronics, I'm familiar with, and have both qualifications and about...

Hi, I'm replacing an old (blown) bathroom fan (with an overrun timer) with a new one, and adding an isolator switch (3 pole) at the same time. I WILL test with a meter before connecting up, but as the wiring is all in a very awkward to get at spot in the back of the loft behind the water...

Just[/url] when I thought I had it narrowed down to two. :D In the end, I bit the bullet and went for the Bosch 140. It was a combination of recommendations, reputation, and a deal I found. Awaiting delivery now. Thanks to all for their help.

Cutting reasonably accurately to the top line will do me just fine. As I said, the sink is hard to describe, but the shape is curved, and not a regular curve, round the top edge, but it also curves away from the outside edge as you go down. Imagine cutting an apple in half, then hollowing out...

Well, as I said, I don't use Joomla, and not all CMS's work the same way, so I'm having to be fairly non-specific. In general, the idea of a CMS is that the user needs no technical skills. For example (and I'll put it in quotes to separate it) a site WRITER might type something like...

I hear you, foxhole, but my (relatively inexperienced) view is that it's a matter of degrees. If the job was to cut straight edges in worktops for joining together, like 45 degree cuts to go round a corner, I'd be inclined to agree that a jigsaw is far from ideal, and that a router and a...

Once I settle on the saw, I'll get a T101BR and give it a try. I've got a bit of scrap I can play with. Thanks for that.

Would I be able to? On the premise of the question, I'd be able to yes, as I'm standing there with a loaded gun, but that doesn't mean I'd do it. The single biggest question for me would be that by taking an action that's certain, if effective, to alter the future, there;s no guarantee the...

Joomla is very different to the likes of Frontpage or Dreamweaver in what it is trying to do. Just to be clear, I don't use it. so some of this is going to be a bit generic. But I do use a more commercial heavyweight tool to do much of what it does. Joomla isn't so much a tool to design...

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I have looked and can't see anything quite relevant, or recent. I have a few jobs coming up, and am about to buy a new jigsaw. I want it for general purpose, DIY use (not commercial), and it'll be relatively infrequent use, not every day. But I...
