Today's BBC1 episode of Saints & Scroungers featured a small charity training and supplying 'help' dogs for the disabled. Can't pick it up on CatchUpTV for some reason, and I want to find out the name...
Most of the top range DVD player/recorders make a big point of how much TV they can record, how many tuners they've got, and so on. I don't need all that. I've got cable TV (2 boxes) with hard drives,...
Hello. We've got a Baxi Main Combi, fully covered by D&G for yearly service check and replacement if clapped. We have a very small flat (all on one level): kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room. The...
Back to the front door business. Settling on a decent oak door from Todd Doors of Northolt - they seem to have a good selection. Would have gone for a 'quality' upvc door, but the prices were dreadful...
My old man used to use the phrase "Well, you've done my dags there," meaning you'd done something he'd never done. Any ideas of the origin? (He was in the Army in India for 12 years 1920 onwards, so...
We'd like to buy a reclining 2 seater sofa, and we're looking for one with a central armrest - a bit like you get in the back seat of a car, with a pull-down armrest - anyone know who sells such...
I can find several different types of corner fixing plate, but not quite the one I want. Here is a picture with a bit of my freehand on it to show what I'm after:...
Hallo. I've drilled some nice neat holes in the bathroom, but screwed up all the measurements and ended up with 4 holes, all far too big for any rawlplug or screw I've got. Is there a solution on the...
I've got a Kindle, which helps - I can't see too well, so blow the type up and read it in landscape mode. But I wondered whether there was anything larger on the market - what I'm thinking of is a...
I want a lightweight yellow anorak-type jacket for cycling - a large one, about XXXL - but Google as I might, I can't find anything. All that I get are high-vis workman's jackets, which are fine, but...
after a knee replacement hoping to start cycling again come spring. because i now cant kneel down im a lot worried re punctures. i have looked around the web sites and found slime inner tubes, tyres...
Don't English teachers teach it anymore? 'Haitch' is creeping into TV and radio (think Dominic Littlewood and his perpetual bleating about the "Haitch M R C"). There is no such word as Haitch. The...
Is there any website listing specifications of Mini and Micro HiFi systems? Specifically, I want one with Audio In, and Headphone Socket - many don't have the former, and some (hard to believe) don't...
I heard somewhere that originally in the Second War, British ships stopping German vessels would allow the crew to abandon ship into lifeboats, and then sink the enemy vessel, and that German ships...
I mean, what do you have to look for. Loads are 3.6volt, some are 7.2volt. Does this make a big difference? What is a high-spec cordless screwdriver? And how much should you expect to have to pay for...
Most of the time I use Google to find things I want to buy, so I DON'T want all the US answers! All I want is UK. Fair enough, I can change it by going to Search Tools, The Web, then Pages from the UK...
I think that the modern television cockney speech, where every final T is overpronounced, is just that, television speech. On TV, an actor will say "ShuT iT, geezer." In reality, in London we'd say...
Bit of lateral thinking here, maybe barmy, but I'm sure you'll tell me. My Panasonic HDD/DVD machine (DMR EX75) works well, but has a dodgy disc drive. I quite often want to burn a programme off the...
I bought the above to get Youtube. it worked great and the menus were flexible. However, I had to have screen change and the new update app is pitiful. Is there anyway of retrieving the previos app....
