I was mistaken - they are Masonry Bees - the blokes had to come back today and re-spray but its all quiet again now Highly recommend them - £50 for coming out on a Sunday - free today Manchester and Trafford Pest Control Wasp Nests Destroyed £32 Bed Bugs Fleas Si

And then the hall laptop locked up and needed restarting with all the children/inspectors in the hall - of course it decided to take the full 5 mins to do this (And the wasps are back again !!!!) Si

I've got central locking just not remote and since the solenoids can been fed with at either end with 12v or 0V, I don't want to just "guess" I feel they'll be just the one point to connect in but I don't know where it is - the last time I had to work out a relay/solenoid/back switch setup (pre-cursor to 7400 ICs ) was on a 30 year 250KW World Service Marconi transmitter about 28 years ago Si

Earned my money today - Bulb went on a projector at 8am!!!! Luckily, the resource area one had same mains plug and I could just swap it in Si

the junior resource area is now being invaded by a large gang (or whatever the collective noun is) of big wasps and I've still got 10 netbooks to image! Si

I've got the Haynes manual but I don't want to be guessing where to connect the output from the remote unit to the car solenoids as due to the fact that sometimes ends of wires are positive and sometimes earth then there is a large potential to have something melt down Si

Got an old corsa with central locking but want to add remote to it. Bought a kit off ebay but now wondering where to connect it in??? (Lots of relays/reversible solenoids in the wiring diagram!) Anyone done this - is there a master connection (that rules them all ) that I can simply tap into? (The direct translation from Mandarin 4 page 1in x 2in "manual" isn't a lot of help ) So, anyone here done this before? Si its this one BTW http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=270869869825&view=all&tid=915259783017 Many people sell them

I think you missed that it now happens after an overnight charge (on my bedside via the mains charger that came with it) and without anything being plugged in Have a laugh - google it and see the range of "suggestions" to fix it Si

Anyone else getting Voltage too High msgs when charging (or sometimes even when not charging) on their 'droid I've a Galaxy S2 and when I started getting it when charging in the car I put it down to a faulty car charger / fact that I'm using a big cheap ebay battery) In the last week, I've started getting the msg in the morning following an overnight charge but getting them with the charger unplugged! Googling has brought up a complete load of dross (We need the old internet back that just had stuff that was right or wrong and it was easy to tell the difference ) So, anyone else here had this and have you managed to cure it without erasing everthing, going back to gingerbread or sending it off to Samsung for replacement! Si

Millicano is my instant of choice at the moment - I just take one into each school I goto and don't worry if others use it (they mostly tend to be funny tea people in primaries not tried the Nescafe one yet Si PS By funny tea people I mean people who drink funny tea (herbal /lemon etc)

Today is Scratch Day Scratch Day If you use Scratch (or even if you haven't) try out the 2.0 Prototype (Online version - no download needed - work's on Android even but sadly not IStuff as its flash based ) Scratch - Imagine, Program, Share Simon

Well if it is something like that, then the member of staff concerned here has the sense to be lying low now! And unless its on a 2 week break, cnf*cker's not been back again Si

Gove != Clue Si

@hit - ta for explanation I'll be hoping for an offline version as well as I don't want to have depend on T'internet access for lessons! Si

Scratch has always been a lot about the chat and online discussions. (And its quite a good place to lets kids chat on a forum as its about as safe as you can get being moderated by MIT and the community) And whats an SEBD/PRU enviroment BTW? Si

@CyberNerd - Ta - I thought App Inventor had died so glad to see its been taken on by the boys and girls at MIT Si

Scratch - Imagine, Program, Share Not got time tonight to play as in middle of OFSTED prep and knackered but everyone else should give it a go. It'll read in existing 1.4 projects (and save them again but haven't tried that) - supposedly got webcam motion detect and certainly got ability to make your own blocks. Pass this on to your ICT teachers (or even the geeky non-ICT teachers) Si

Booked up See you all there Si

Well - good news and bad news - good news is still hasn't returned again since last weeks re-surfacing - bad news is I still don't know how/why it resurfaced (and then went again)???? and.... .... the schools just got the OFSTED call 15 mins ago (coming on Monday) so I'll be camped out there till next Tuesday with a large hammer in my back pocket to hit it on the head if I see any sign of it! Si

I'll take it off your hands for you Si PS Too slow for what BTW?

So need to set the alarm a la Raspberry Pi then Si

I'm sure the previous email I had from RS said 75,000 for June/July and that would only cover the number of people who registered on day 1 Si

Well, I've returned this week and no sign of cnf*cker on any machine that I've looked at so far but why not his week when it re-appeared last week ????? Si

I've worked tirelessly to impart a sense of what's right and what's wrong in life to my youngest daughter but once they go away to University, you don't have control any more and I've just had to trust that she does the right thing. Therefore, it was a sad day today, when despite all the advice, all the reasons not to, she goes and she texts me to say .... ... that she's bought a 3 year old, second-hand Macbook on Ebay!!!! Si
