  1. This is currently on BBC 4 Extra - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0072szv/episodes/player - being audio, it should be available everywhere. One of the best examples of a book reading that I've heard.
  2. If you're relying the 'contact wiper' to make/break the electrical connection, then you can find that they aren't 100% reliable, but they can be made to work better by a little judicious bending with a small screwdriver, so that they make better contact with the fixed rails as the position changes.
  3. Do you actually mean 'shorting' or are you just losing connection?
  4. It's no wonder the Guards fly the helicopter round you all day....
  5. Aden cannon shells turn up at the boot sale here and make a handy paperweight.
  6. The three in the middle at the bottom are distinctly lighter. How many shades of grey were there? And sixteen is unusual, fifteen was the standard pile.
  7. He's even got the moustache...
  8. It's not him - Bubba wouldn't let him in.
  9. I know, "To je Škoda", as the Czechs say.
  10. Should be on an Opel, that it would be a fully GM machine...
  11. Whoops, coping saws I meant - sometimes I just can't cope...
  12. There are fretsaws about, intended largely for wood, mostly taking pin-ended blades.
  13. It can be worth getting a saw with an adjustable frame, then broken blades can still be used.
  14. They do turn up - as offices computerised, I got two free ones and another tall one for £25 last year.
  15. They should be coming over here - I shall keep my detectors handy.
  16. There's always a risk with any hosting site that they are going to 'monetise' the service - some more so than others. The image system on here now is such that there's no longer a need to be 'outside' in the future. The past is another world, though...
  17. I still get the Who's Online list - in the bottom right corner - a short list of the 'real people' and a click for a full list with all the "guests".
  18. The card-index filing cabinet - well worth looking out for - enough drawers to organise stuff logically, and shallow enough to find things in - perfect. I have a few, of varying depths, and they are just the best way to store tools.
  19. The movements of incoming deliveries can now be plotted accurately.
  20. Might there even be a market for conversion transfers - @Weshty?
  21. And who has given you permission to be happy..?
  22. Don't give 'em any leeway - I've seen what happened to you!
  23. It's been raining heavily all day here, and my wife been staring continuously through the window. I'm getting a bit concerned that she might be a little depressed. In fact, if it goes on much longer, I think I'm going to let her in.
  24. Excellent! If only the wipers worked...
