+1 is good for channels which might not be on the catchup services, such as ITV3 and ITV4. I think the BBC on-demand is the most comprehensive of all British channels, so I can't see it being of much interest.

Resurrecting a very old thread (found via Google), I had the same issue. Updating the printer firmware to 1.19 (via USB) and the network firmware to 1.11 (via FTP) seemed to sort it.

Have you tried cleaning or replacing your glow plug relay? Also check and clean and protect all earth points, especially the ones hidden under the battery tray. Do that and fit a new battery if its over 3 years old and starting should be a doddle! Also, change your fuel filter every 6000 miles. They're only a few quid from Euro Car Parts.

Spot on, same as the one from last year about how they'd make modified cars illegal: Millions of modified and classic cars could be banned from the roads as meddling European Union try to shake-up MOT rules Millions of modified and classic cars could be banned from the roads as meddling European Union try to shake-up MOT rules | Mail Online And the truth: Tabloid Watch: 'None of the newspapers checked the facts with us before publication'

Bridge cameras are a great way to get into photography. Get a good one and it will hold it's price all day long. Look after it and then when it comes to move up to a proper D-SLR you'll get your money back. Sometimes the leap from compact to D-SLR is just a bit too big.

Not always. A few years ago a car magazine reviewed tyres and said that Kwik Fit's Arrowspeed tyre was close to many well known brands for stopping in the wet. More here: Analysis: Saying All Budget Tyres are Lethal is an Unfair Generalisation http://www.tyrepress.com/News/20243.html And there's at least one tyre company which manufactures an "own brand". Personally I'd check Asda Tyres and Blackcircles. Its only a few quid difference between their cheapest brands and popular make.

Yeah, sure you would. You don't even know that Google can be used to find and link to child porn. I sincerely hope you're not in charge of a school's IT systems.

Is your thread in response to this news story? Bomb threats on Twitter made against female journalists BBC News - Bomb threats on Twitter made against female journalists I think sometimes you don't consider the big picture on some subjects, same with your thread about the child porn on Google. Have a word with your local CEOP representative and you'll find it does exist.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for a recycling company, preferably one that might give us a token sum for some machines? We've got the usual pile of broken printers, keyboards and the like. But this time we have 30 good working HP dx2000mt towers with 1Gb of RAM, keyboards and mice.

You wouldn't even need to spend £500. In my neck of the woods our local council's SIMS team invite staff to attend the regular SIMS meetings. Its usually a bursar or someone senior in the office who attends. At these meetings they always make the roadmap clear. If you don't go to the meetings its the Network Manager's job to watch stuff like this and insist on upgrades.

I wouldn't mind so much if they were actively trying to change their role for the better on the strike days. Instead I heard reports of shopping trips and days out instead of being on a picket line or protesting outside the local town hall.

I dare them to take that strike day in the October half term.

Horrible! -
Kimi won't take it. He doesn't need it. Put him in a Red Bull and it will just be him and Vettel in a 1-2 finish and there's no challenge in that for him.

I don't.

Maybe the guy is concerned it will set a precedent if someone sees a car parked on the line, not knowing said car is blocking their own drive?

Ditto, I never really referred to them. -
Didn't you recommend the Rover 25 / 200 - one of the most unreliable and undesirable cars around because of head gasket failure, based on fact because of a design flaw. Even a replaced head gasket can and does fail.

Total rubbish. Have a drive around France and see all the Pugs and Citroens. They don't drive them for fun or out of patriotism. It's also worth mentioning that Peugeot has / had a factory in the Midlands churning out cars, so if you're making slurs on them, you're technically slating British manufacturing. Electric problems are down to poor maintenance, pure and simple. As a Peugeot mechanic I see it all the time - owners never bothering to lift the bonnet and do any kind of basic maintenance. Windscreen water channels blocked with leaves and crud. Laziness in not replacing protection panels under the engine and wheel arch if they get damaged. I've owned several Pugs over the last 20 years and never had an electrical problem, because I've made sure I don't buy something not cared for. And when there are problems, there's an excellent online community and parts prices are reasonable - even from the dealers, and they're easy to fix yourself. OP: If you want a "good" banger, search for a 306 diesel, or a 106. They retain their value because they're reliable. You won't see many other makes of cars 12-15 year old with 150,000 miles on the clock fetching £1000. A colleague of mine has just bought a 306 with 240,000 miles on the clock, he says the interior is immaculate and it drives like its got a quarter of that mileage. It cost him £500. My brother bought a 52 plate 307 diesel for £800. 180,000 miles, with a few dings on the bodywork but the engine is solid and interior not showing any signs of wear. His first car was my old 306 dTurbo, which was cheaper to insure than a 1L petrol Corsa! If you're local to me I'd be happy to help you find one, check it out, stick the diagnostic gear on it to browse through the faults log and see what's happened to it during its life.
