Wish my memory was better. Friend of mine who's now away for the weekend said that when he went to France with his Windows phone it didn't just switch to the local provider in the way other...
I bought a pack of 4 x 220g butane cartridges for my camping trip. We'll be on site for 7 days and I only plan to use the stove for morning coffee and those 'full monty' tins of breakfast, for 3...
The road trip is just over a week away and my tent (large dome tent, 2 separate bedrooms) has never been out of the bag. It’s new, only bought a couple of months ago. I’ve wanted the opportunity...
How strange. Just went to reply to a comment on a YouTube video, but I can't do it. Instead of the usual text cursor appearing in the comment box I get the 'pointing finger' icon - when I click, a...
According to lightningmaps.org you've got a huge amount of lightning activity in the area between Bath & Swindon.
Anyone down that way enjoying the show?...
I thought it would be simple. 3.5mm audio lead from speaker out to guitar amp (via double adapter, standard jack). Jack cable from bass to guitar amp (via same double adapter). Except it doesn't work....
It's my road trip again!!! OK, my daughter is quite severely asthmatic. We're driving from Calais, through Belgium/Luxembourg to Strasbourg, then on through Switzerland and into Italy. The return...
Seeing a photo posted by a friend on FB is what prompts me to ask this otherwise random question. In some animals the touching together of bowed heads seems to be a sign of...
On the return leg of my road trip in August I'll be spending 2 nights in Paris and 1 night in Calais (need to reach the car ferry at 9:30am), so I'm after two recommendations: A decent but reasonably...
Really I’m just thinking aloud here, but wondered if there’s the germ of an idea in it… The main problem with spammers is that attempts to spam them in return are futile – in most cases all...
Wondering if anyone has this or a similar model? It's a pocket-sized wifi-enabled camera and frankly brilliant for about £90, but I have a question. In AUTO mode, the half shutter press finds the...
ME: Boss, I've got a probl-...
BOSS: There's no such thing as problems. There are only opportunities.
ME: Ah, OK. Boss, I've got a serious drinking opportunity....
Sorry to be vague about this but it's someone else's car so I can't check details myself. It's the Titanium model, almost 100% sure on a 60 plate - newer shape anyway. I can find plenty of info about...
AKG is a very good brand, but the £90 I've paid for a wireless microphone system (it'll be for live band use) seems low - points to 'you get what you pay for'. It's on the ISM3 system, so I'm...
I've just ordered a design-it-yourself t-shirt for my daughter. Using the KEEP CALM AND... template I've gone for BLAH BLAH and BLAH BLAH. What's the funniest t-shirt slogan you've seen (or indeed...
Just had the odd experience - first time it's ever happened - of my Windows phone notifying me of two new texts being received, but when I clicked on the contact thread of the sender both texts were...
When cooking pasta I put oil and salt into the water before putting the pan on the hob. It seems - to me - that it takes ages to come to the boil, so I'm wondering if either or both of the salt and...
OK, I hold my hands up - it's a new car and I'm going overboard at the moment in my desire to keep it spotless. Anyway, just took it for a local hand-wash, mostly because after a long trip yesterday...
A huge majority voting for the ‘no difference whatsoever’ option, but my experience is slightly different. A lot of people are still ignoring the law, but I’ve seen some improvement (maybe the...
