How about Adam this time..."Mr Fix-it" as they call him on their site.

I just recieved an email from instructables "Dear Nephilim2k Your instructable seems to be very popular, however you seem to be getting many anonymous votes which are not being counted. If you have asked people to vote for you, you will need to ask them to sign up to instructables (its free!) for votes to count. Sorry for the inconvenience and good luck! Instructables team"

I hope so. I've voted from my phone, work pc and will do my home pc.

old stalwart but I have new premises of work (not sure if you have the details)

Hey guys and girls. I rarely ask for people to vote for something, but this is a prize I would truly like to win. Outdoor Survival Contest My instructable has a chance to win me some awesome prizes. Depending on which level of prize I win, some will be going to my daughters after school club which will be a precursor to her going to Brownies/Scouts. My instructable is the sawdust firestarters Thank you! *edit* if you click on recent it should show the entries.

It is a mailing list thing. Its easily set up on outlook.

Should really do it now. If they didn't stick to their agreement, might be worth taking them to small claims court as well (provided you have in writing or recorded everything)

Speak to OfGEM. We had a similar issue in my old house, a letter to OfGEM and NPower and it was sorted

I have no issues with the federal government of the US. They've done me no harm. However they do have some ludicrous things going on, and frankly, their legislators, senators and governors should be considered more as domestic terrorists than the people on the farm, as frankly they keep changing the goalposts that any reasonable person would not be able to keep up. The land owner as mentioned above was working on the basis that the farm land changes as the river changed near his property. When it went south he lost land, when it went north he gained land. Federal government OK'd this, however they changed it saying when it went south he lost land, when it went north, he didn't gain the land back, so he lost out regardless. This is his gripe (I've been reading a lot about it).

The average household could generate enough electric in 1 day to last 1.2 days of peak usage on a cloudy day. It doesn't require direct sunlight, it just requires light. That is the common misconception. On a heavy rainy day, you will still generate electricity, just not as much as you would with a sunny day. When it is snow covered, then you generate nothing.

Many people in the US do not recognise the federal government as there is no basis in the US Constitution for it. As a result many hundreds of thousands refuse to pay taxes in the US, live off the grid and such like, and the federal government are strong arming state legislators into forcing people back onto the grid. One town refused to have a water supply from a large company and instead did it themselves (successfully for a decade). Federal government strongarmed the state legislators into making them get on the grid by banning wells and town water butts and such like, and making it mandatory to have a utility company supplied water supply. Its daft. Over here, at the least you must pay council tax on your property to pay for services like waste disposal etc which I can understand, but if you don't want a water supply from thames water or whoever your local one is, you don't have to have it.

This is without a doubt the dumbest thing I've read all week. The world's dumbest idea: Taxing solar energy I couldn't quite believe it, even more so when I read that Spain tried to do it as well!

Logitech K400 Wireless Touch Keyboard...My brother has one, he can work comfortably on his sofa whilst the PC and screen is across the room. It isn't backlit but its very very good. Has a touchpad also and the range is around 10m or so.

Splatter doesn't matter (pardon the rhyme). We had the cookers around the far edges of the room, couldn't get any further, but unfortunately as they cook with oil and butter at a high temp, the "steam" that comes off is actually vaporised fat, which when cooled down it will settle on anything, from the surfaces next to the cookers to wherever the fast can get too. Its a PITA as some cooking rooms have around 30 cookers (that I've been in) and that is A LOT of fat in the air.

We had this issue, and what we did was rather ingenious. We housed it in a small box, which had the vents going up to the ceiling and into the extractor for the room. Whenever we needed to change a bulb or whatever, we unscrewed the box from the ceiling and did it and rescrewed it back on. Didn't take much jiggery pokery, and a local DIY firm did it for us (which have since closed up since the economic downturn). However the box was a PVC box, it had space for all cabling and vents etc, and worked like a charm. Every month or so the box got cleaned as it was caked in fat also, but it saved the projectors life. *edit* I will phone the school and see if I can get a picture of it, I doubt it though since its been 4 years since I left!

Didn't use it, its blocked here at work and my phone is at home. Also I have a great F1 knowledge, so ha! And eyes will defo be peeled in may.

thats disgraceful, I deserve at least a chocolate pizza!!!

@Jon-Millgate what do I win?! lol

Going to go out on a limb here and Say one from the 60s, Australian bloke, Brabham I think? Drove for Cooper then formed his own team if I remember rightly? (its way before my time however). *edit* there was another driver in the 60s that had this as well, was maybe 5 years though. Graham Hill his name was.

What? He was arrogant, at the start of the season he said on German TV he would win despite the changes and there was nothing to worry about. This weekend he basically said RedBull has way too much to do to catch up and they will focus on getting the car right for next season. No way is Seb special. Now the cars are somewhat leveled on the playing field, people who were smashed by him previously are now showing that its the driving that should be making the wins, not the car. Red Bull had the advantage of having the best designer in the field, and he made it work for them (no doubting this), but now with the current restrictions (if you will), they can't do anything as they didn't prepare properly whereas every other team focused on getting it right for this season. It shows when a Force India finishes higher, or even toro rosso finishes higher. Seb made his bed, now he has to lie in it and work with what he has. He had ample opportunity in pre-season, and to some extent last season when they test the new designs for input, and he didn't do much, where as other teams focused solely on this season with a view to being better this season, and it shows. Seb = cocky, nowhere near the leagues of hamilton or rosberg on driving ability alone, and it shows.

0.238 seconds on the change to limegreen!

Alchemy is at level 10(ish) Provisioning for me is around 34 Smithing is around 10 Enchantment is around 10 Clothing is at 4 Woodworking is at 2 My provisioning buffs are immense at the minute...example 1 item of food will add 96 health + stamina/magicka for 35 mins, whilst a drink on top will add the regeneration of health + stamina/magicka by 5 per second for 35 mins.

Whats your skillset for your tank? I am tempted to re-assign my skill points, but paying 3K to do it, is somewhat frustrating (gets more expensive the higher you get). Might focus now on provisioning (have some awesome buffs)...and know lots of recipes. Woodworking is something I wont touch with this character, but thats not to say I wont with any others I create. Smithing is somewhat annoying right now, I have steel smithing, (which is fine) but I have level 14 iron armour, which has the same benefit as level 16 steel armour, which is a bit frustrating!

Well I know I've won something, but who won the big one?!
