I may have mentioned in this thread - certainly have somewhere - PIV is worth a look. Pulls the 'relatively' warm/dry air out of the loft, displacing the damp air in your house. But it doesn't pull in really cold air.

This REALLY is a "carrot & stick" situation. Apart from the "thou shalt not" policy, you need a flexible, prompt, can do, attitude to requests. If you appear to be "blockers", you will be treated as such, whatever your motives.

Charging inside is probably hampered by the glass blocking UV. UV is the most energetic wavelength of photons.

Serious potential £saving in the hair dept. MrsC has a hairdresser come to us. Not to colour her roots at all (I didn't say that!)... She also does anyone else at home - not so much to do now the girls are at Uni, but it works out quite cheaply. MrsC colour and cut £60, me or MrsC's boy £10, can't remember what she charged for the girls, but typically it was <£120 for 4/5 people.

Mostly by convection. It WILL help, but by how much; I don't know - too many variables.

"Move everything to the cloud" they said. "It is safer that way" they said.... FFS.

Watch out for trees. If you have your survey done now, with no leaves, the summer could be interesting. Here speaks experience (of much older kit).

"To the man with a hammer, every screw looks like a nail" A switch* VS complex software and hardware... * which could include a simple timeswitch.

I thought Muffin the mule was a criminal offence?

No; those are just flood lights; from 20m away they'll light up half the room. They would be OK actually ON the stage, or over it, or REALLY close. To control the beam you'll need lenses and think £1k as a starting price.

That is "disco" lighting. Would need to be on stage really. Quality LED is £CHING. Especially if you want to be back away from the stage.

Gods - that's what I use in an under occupied 4 bed house!

Be VERY careful here... Years ago our Bursar with other bean counters from similar schools had regular meetings/emails etc. in an attempt to keep fees DOWN. Despite this, the Monopolies Commission took a dim view...

The issue with USTs is that unless the screen is PERFECTLY flat, you will get bits out of focus, and rippling across the image. Persuade them to get a tower in on the cleaning budget, and fit the projector while it is there?

I would probably poke my eyes out with hot needles rather than go back. The food in the park was poor (being generous) the service EXACTLY what you would expect in Paris, the qs horrendous (in October) and nowhere to get warm. YMMV...

Well done M$! ETA - El Reg

CPC will probably have a generic PSU that you could use.

Why? The cyclists won't.

Whooops... There goes a £few million. Apparently all insured.

My council will take cardboard food packaging as long as "there isn't too much food waste stuck to it". Or some such woolly phrase...

The twinkling lights - of Fawley refinery...

Not a digi microphone system, so direct interference is UNLIKELY. Filling the hall with bags of water will definitely change things from an empty room. Firstly, check that you are using a proper 'group' of channels and that they haven't been fiddling. Second, get the receivers up high, above the audience.

Years ago I had a Jazz - and it was horribly road-noisy. I put Michelins on it, and it made a huge difference. Not sure what my current Civic has on it - they are round and black...

I'd pay money to watch them explaining things to, say, a hungry polar bear.

Someone's going to lose a lot of weight - quickly.
