  1. Have a look through this selection from John Lewis. 32 inch from £299 with free delivery and 5 year guarantee. http://www.johnlewis.com/Electricals/Televisions/Televisions/All+TVs/5013/ProductCategory.aspx?intcmp=HP_smallpromo_tvs_261110#&&/wEXAgURU2VhcmNoRXZlbnRUYXJnZXQFOmN0cmxGaWx0ZXJMSE4xX3JwdEZpbHRlcnNfY3RsMDJfY3RybFNpemVGaWx0ZXJfdXBkVmlld0xlc3MFE1NlYXJjaEV2ZW50QXJndW1lbnQFVUZJTC9FbGVjdHJpY2Fscy9UZWxldmlzaW9ucy9UZWxldmlzaW9ucy9BbGwrVFZzLzUwMTMvMS8wL1Byb2R1Y3RDYXRlZ29yeS5hc3B4P2E9MTcyNDbsnzZQcN1IcYVytWQpfo3YTyRHOg==
  2. Probably at least 7 at this rate! Temp rose to balmy -3C by 5am which meant only one thing - more snow!!!! Grrrrr Glad we're not getting Panama's thunder storms though, even if it's 30C.
  3. 1 am Sunday: The official temp at Glasgow Airport (3 miles from Chez Westerdam's Igloo) is now -10C and the windchill is -15C. That's 7 degrees colder than Iceland's capital!
  4. Overnight snow has frozen! Temps currently -5C, Windchill now -9C. Back to bed!

  5. 2 inches of the white stuff since midnight Tomorrow's forecast is making me unhappy SundayChance of Snow. Partly Cloudy. High: 3 °C . Wind ENE 28 km/h . 30% chance of precipitation (water equivalent of 5.19 mm). Windchill: -13 °C . -13C indeed. Time for a very long stay in bed?
  6. The file is now 2 inches thick so I can't even begin to precis it all! And I'm sure I couldn't spell most of the words! Started off as something relatively straight forward but developed into a much more major problem with early attempts to fix being unsuccessful. On the mend now though Hope your 100% sorted soon
  7. That's the style - always look on the bright side I'd never been in hospital til this year. So far: Endoscopy + Colonoscopy (cameras in both ends under general anaesthetic) 3 MRI scans 4 ops (all under general anaesthetic) 1 minor op (local anaesthetic to come next week) + 10 Consultations @ £125- £250 - each! Bill to date? Circa £16k Oh well, just grateful for the insurance Am I nearly there yet??????
  8. From today's BBC Scotland News page: Perth Sheriff Court closed for fumigation A Scottish court has been cleared and fumigated after a man who was charged with breach of the peace appeared to lose control of his bodily functions. Proceedings were halted at Perth Sheriff Court after the man was spotted with a large brown mark on the rear of his trousers. Staff then removed stained cushions before the court was recalled. The court's public toilet was also closed due to a hygiene issue but it is unclear if the incidents are related. Maybe given a bigger sentence than expected
  9. This - via google - might help. Manchester based and a phone call might give you an idea of cost (depending on size and materials). http://www.iqpooltablerecovers.com/ hth
  10. Is this the one? http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/special_buys2_15823.htm
  11. Don't think that is correct. The only change in VAT wef 4 January 2011 is in the standard rate ie 17.5% goes up to 20% There is NO change to zero and reduced rates of VAT ie 0% and 5% rates. See here from HMRC http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/forms-rates/rates/rate-increase.htm
  12. Wonder how many will forget or change the wrong way ? Back 1 hour it is (unless you're in far flung places abroad which are different)
  13. Read all about it! Should be ok now. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-11656851
  14. 1 Excellent qualifications for the job. I'll endorse your application. 2 Brill idea re golf. Please note though that I've arranged for a mega go cart racing circuit on the flight deck - a sort of Le Mans at Sea. So no teeing off when the chequer flag is flying. Vice Admiral Dolittle
  15. Loss of 1 = £19K - £24K if you believe this guide http://www.wheelsatonce.com/bp365/motorcycle-accident-compensation-amounts.htm
  16. Swmbo got me a grandmother one from an antique shop for a birthday pressie. It's about 6 feet high, Westminster chimes and alarms people who hear it over the phone - they think I'm next to Big Ben! Some have a lever to pull which stops the chimes through the night. Mine doesn't but I'm not disturbed from being in the Land of Nod.
  17. Clue needed: Are they the same colour as his tutu?
  18. My TomTom doesn't do Thailand. Have we a problem? Vice Admiral Dolittle
  19. Can I book in as the Vice Admiral ie guy i/c vice? No medals for the uniform but swmbo saw my Blue Peter badge in the loft the other week and has gone to look. hth
  20. Hi Glen Welcome to Briskoda No idea re your enquiry but Google came up with this http://www.melloraut...trol_TP41i.html Might be worth emailing the company (based in UK but ship worldwide) and ask them for availability hth
  21. Thanks all for the many tips and suggestions - much appreciated. Appropriate action now being taken!
  22. Thanks for the info - I'll be visiting at frequent intervals! Poss development: phone indicated about an hour ago that an update had been downloaded (I didn't know anything about it) and was ready to instal. It's 65mb! Risked topping up with another £5 and hey, it's still there and hasn't disappeared like the other £65! Hope it's still there tomorrow.
  23. Thanks for you interest. The only things I see on the menu are Google Mail, Google Talk, IM, Maps, Market, YouTube. The browser address is google.com This is a copy of this afternoon's bill. It appears to be clocking up 48 pence charges every 3 seconds!!!!
