I think the whole process a good illustration of our inadequate 'democracy'. I never go asked if I wanted police comissioners (Actually 'police and crime commissioners', though I am sure there are enough free enterprise crime commissioners already). Imagine this characature: Voting slip...

OK, try this then: (Bold font added by me) My answer: Anything made in the last 20 years, and quite a bit before that. My post was partly a long way of saying this, though I was responding mainly to: . I might start a thread from another aspect 'What have you watched on TV recently that...

<Soapbox> I have not had a telly for about 20 years. I do not really miss it. We do now watch films on the 'pooter though. Whenever we go somewhere with a telly the programs look like something I have already watched, like something boring, or both. Are they really still screening 'Dads...

I have had solar pv for 18 months. Some points: (1) Ignore the reduction of consumption term in the cost/benefit analysis. Unless you have heavy leccy use that you can shift to sunny days. Mosy of my leccy is consumed when the sun is not shining. (2) Investigate an export meter. I wish that I...

Good man Chems. =D>

Thanks for all the replies. I think that with the equipment to hand it would be worth doing,........ It certainly seems as if I am not the only one that thinks of these things (my beloved was shocked that I even considered it). I like the idea of using an airline to pressurise the tank to...

My old car seems to be destined for the scrapyard. It has half a tank (20-25 litres? £30?) diesel still in it. Is it worth me trying to recover this..... does syphoning work? what do I need to buy? has anyone here done it? Any thoughts welcome (and yes I am tight!).

Boring Old F..t

10 miles at 40mph = 15 minites. 10 miles at 70mph = ~8.5 minites. We are arguing 6.5 minites difference here. Less time than it takes to read this thread. I do not know about the majority, but I think obeying the law slightly more important than reading this thread....... But I *am* in...

Must have got it from this shop.

I am running on TalkTalk. When I swapped to them I got a huge speed increase, and a noticeable price decrease. Reliability has been reasonable, and support when I needed it was ok (though you need to understand accented english, and be prepared to do things their scripted way - but it is their...

Thanks again for your advice. It seems as if a full hosting service is what I really need, and not my cheapskate solution. I will do that for sure. Although I am technically savvy in some areas, this bit always seems hard to grasp. It may be a few days as we are dealing with a bereavement...

Thanks for the post/alert. That looks like fun. Where do I get a ticket for my turn? :roll:

Thanks Dibs, I think I understand it a bit more. (BTW - I knew the overall reason you were asking the questions, but not the detailed reasons, so had to try to make sure I included the info you wanted. Trying to be both clear and concise in text is a challenge.). The interesting bit to me at...

Domain is registered through 1&1. My website is hosted by SourceForge - I have free site hosting because I have open-source projects on their site, but they do not provide email services. Their web-hosting suits my very simple purposes. I use TalkTalk as ISP. I am using their email services...

That does help quite a bit - being a skinflint I was trying to avoid paying for email hosting. Perhaps I ought to look at paying a bit more money to build a reliable system. I use 1&1 as a domain manager. Should I use them for email service? Or do people here have recommendations? Phill

Hmm, I use Mozilla Thunderbird, and maybe need to examine my headers a bit more closely. I only use talk-talk as an email 'provider' as they are my (current) ISP; I want my email solution to be 'portable' - in as much as if/when I leave TalkTalk I just have to adjust a couple of settings...

Interesting; understandable, but irritating. I am not sure what you mean here. I have sent the emails with 'from' and 'reply to' as [email protected]. Is there something else that I should do? Thanks for rreplying. Phill

At risk of changeing the course of this thread - though the topic is related..... I use my own domain as a web address, but use my ISP as a mail host (currently TalkTalk). I think that this encourages some over-zealous mail programs to declare my emails as junk (they may be but I would rather...
