    Which is faulty, ignition unit or flourescent tube ?

    Moved into house. In garage is a flourescent tube light but it doesn't work. Before I go out and spend money, I'd like to see what's wrong. As the wires on my mini tester do not stretch to either end of the tube :lol: , I thought I'd test the ignition unit. Is it as simple as testing a fuse...

    DAylight robbery

    Bunch of bl00dy liars. Should be shut down. To echo the post above, I have used blackcircles.com many times and they are great. Good tyres much cheaper and they are delivered to a tyre centre of your choosing. You turn up and get them fitted having paid for everything on t'internet.

    Incinerator Ash - where to spread ?

    Hello. Had a good incinerator session the other evening and got rid of loads or dried out weeds etc. Thing is, what do I do with the ash that's left ? Can I spread it on a flower bed ? Or is there somewhere else it should go ? Thanks.

    Removing a wall mounted lamp

    No, I'm not a tradesman, hence why I asked the question in order to seek advice before just ploughing on with what would have been a dangerous action. Thanks to those below who gave me such good and clear answers. I will stick a blank panel on the wall or a fused switch, as suggested. Thanks.

    cars of the seventies

    I had one of these in the same colour as the picture. 1978 Opel Kadett Coupe. I wanted a Mini, but then saw this and had to have it. Most people thought it was a Manta or something sporty :lol: With a 1196cc "lump" this was not the case ! I replaced the old air box with a K&N open...

    Concept to Rally sport.

    Agree that only 2 factory teams is bad, but I am really looking forward to next year. 1) Battle between Solberg and Gronholm in the new Ford 2) Loeb having to drive at 150% in a private Xsara 3) Some surprise results as the factory cars retire. What price a podium for Mark Higgins...

    Shower curtain - loop ?

    Hello. I need to fit a shower rail/curtain, but the space is limited. Can you get curtains that are long and then loop back ? For example, it goes straight for about a meter, then loops round on itself. Thanks

    Commer Vans

    :lol: Is that the one where the car/van flashed red ? "Would you like to see some puppies ?". Then, back at the perv's house, the child is in a darkened room and a shadowy figure comes in... ...scarred the $hit out of me when I was 7. Probably can't show films like that anymore because...

    THE WORSED CHRISTMAS RECORD

    Yes, I saw a CD called "The Greatest Xmas Songs Ever". Surely an ironic title as that is surely a collection of the best, worst songs ever :lol:

    The sheer ignorance of people continues to amaze me

    I believe (but am willing to be proved otherwise) that with people originating from the African continent, their bones or bone structure is heavier. This explains why they are good at boxing and not at swimming. Even across Africa their are differences. A lot of people originating from East...

    Menace to Society

    NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED

    My concern is our language. Did you know it is acceptable to spell words like the Americans do and not be marked down for bad spelling in exams, eg. Aluminum[sic]. Not happy.

    Where is the justice in this

    Actually, the girl who headed the group and "kicked the victim's head like a footbal" is now 15, which is why they cannot release her details. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4502662.stm How their cretinous parents have brought them up to belike this is anyone's guess. We all...
