Numberplate lookup

I was very pleased to get the British service here run by the RAC, but wondered if any other countries offer the same service where you can type in a number plate on a website and get the car details...

JMI schools

My understanding in British JMI schools is it stands for Junior Mixed Infants. Now as these schools (which I went to myself before the initialling) are mixed for both departments (as otherwise half...

Corrupted programs

Sky three

I saw this channel on a freeview rebroadcast, but why isn't it (or Sky two which I presume exists logically) on cable? I'd never heard of it till last week.

Mobile phone cases

Does anyone on earth still make coloured mobile phone cases? Black ones are so boring!

I'm a celebrity?

Try as I might, not one of my Sky Channels seems to have live feed this year, though it used to be on ITV2. Help!

What's an optical mouse?

I've seen cordless mice, with an obvious feature, but also corded ones that say they're 'optical'. This means nothing to me- do they have a camera in them?

Old threads

As there are some threads that don't answer a specific question, could you alter the settings so any new answer puts that thread to the top? It'll only apply to the few relevant threads so won't...

As someone's set the precedent, would it be OK to have a thread linked to our pictures? I'd be up for it!

Mini-me mute?

Is the actor who plays Mini-me in Austin Powers mute or was there a reason he couldn't speak in the film? He was clearly able to make sounds and mouth words but no more.

BT anyphone

A few years ago BT and O2 had an idea to use a cordless phone that was a home phone but once you were out of range became a mobile, sharing one number. Of course my question was how on earth would a...

Small print announcements on radio ads

Do the announcers who rattle off the terms and conditions on radio ads at double speed have special training, or are the clips actually speeded up?

Germs transfer

Is this an old wives tale, or is it true it's not easy to transfer germs from one dry surface to another? Contrary views tell you dry toilet doorknobs and handles do pass germs to hands, so which is...

Chip and pin cards

Until these arrived I thought all circuits needed power, but the chip on these has no battery, so all I can think is it must have a normal unpowered memory which is activated by an induction loop when...

Ironing board rests

A technical question I have from work, did all the pre 1970s iron rests made from grey fireproof pads have asbestos in them, or were some made of other materials?
