It's not that simple. You are taxed where you are resident for tax purposes... you can't just live and work in the UK and be paid for that work in another tax domain. I've worked as a "non-resident for tax purposes" and it's a tightly controlled environment. Messing with HMRC is not a great...

Having lived in that part of the Middle East for some years, I can confirm that at this time of year, the weather is really nice - normally high 20s to low 30s and the evenings and mornings are cooler. You have the sea close by, so humidity is normally good too.

Absolutely, but the BT Business package is soooo much better plus I now have time to gracefully move the landline to VoIP (keeping the number) in my own time and with my own router. Apart from anything else, the BT Smarthub does not allow you to change the DNS server and many other privacy...

Not 100% so with BT at least... We have FTTP and managed to keep our analogue (POTS) service by moving from BT Residential, who cannot unbundle your landline from fibre (they only have Digital Voice if you buy FTTP from them) to BT Business who CAN unbundle the landline and supply just FTTP. I...

I know Castle Drogo of old - I had cousins in Drewsteignton (they had the rectory), so I know about the castle, the Drewe Arms (I even met the famous Mabel Mudge, though she was pretty ancient by then), the walks etc.

Absolutely! What a joy! Proper place, Chagford. Excellent pubs too... Lovely area to walk in...

Just come back from staying with friends in Chagford. Lovely bit of the world, though a bit hilly for a decent sized workshop with a flat floor!

If you are referring to a satellite downfeed, then yes - convert to analogue 625 then use a Hedgehog to create your 405.

http://www.horogrene.com/ Precision Clock Oiler (24cSt) Medium Oil Precision Clock Oiler (24cSt) Medium Oil : Amazon.co.uk: Home & Kitchen Absolutely the best process to use. Only use special "clock oil" as it doesn't dry or clog up - you only need a tiny amount on each bearing point - normally...

I know this thread is 10 years old... but you did ask... Yes, the analogue transmissions in the UK have stopped (by the end of 2012), but there are a couple of "standards converters" around that are very very good indeed and will pretty much convert anything to anything, thus enabling vintage...

Slightly odd one this.... We have black granite highly polished worktops in our kitchen - not solid black - bits of quartz,/mica in there too so it doesn't show grease etc easily - pure/solid black is a nightmare... So, after 17 years of intensive use, one or two sections have a slight "bloom"...

I went to the Zoo yesterday. They only had a dog. It was a ShihTzu...

Do some history... Got to visit some old proper pubs deep in the countryside. Some around here have been pubs for around 300 years... and by the look of many, have never been redecorated.... There are 211 listed (historically significant) buildings in our village, including every building in...

Going a kilometer over ploughed fields and unmade farm tracks carrying 25kg+ of syrup for the bee hives... yep, easy to do on a bike... My bike is fine, but since I've had a knee op, I've had to re-think it slightly - I used to do about 150km/week but the lack of "bend" past about 80 degrees in...

This was absolutely nothing to with gender stereotyping and rather more to do with the photographer not knowing what they're doing. It was one of the Shutterstock stock images used to make a point. The original story is here. FWIW, at least one of the other images involved featured a male - all...

There were about 30 bees of several different types on that group of asters - very tricky to photograph as there was a wind and the flowers were waving about a lot... Several types of bumble bees plus a load of honey bees (A. melifera melifera) whose colouring looked very like my bees. Only...

Michaelmas Daisies are covered with my bees, as is the sedum...

This is indeed true. Most SMPS work by converting the incoming mains to DC, then using that DC source to drive the rest of the converter - if the voltage is being stepped down, this is called a "buck" converter - almost every SMPS in your property is of this type. The principle reasons for...
