Yep, that's the page! This way madness lies!

Exasperation. That's one word for it. I can think of (many) others, but I suppose this is a family forum, so.... No matter how I try, I can't get Trimble to accept that I actually know my own email address and am perfectly able to think of a password following their rules. But no. Apparently...

Thanks for the tip, artie. I'll give it a whirl....

Is there a problem with Sketchup? I've just tried to download plans for something, and had to join "Trimble". Name, email address as usual, but then was obliged to concoct a password. Did so, confirmed it....and the system claimed they didn't agree, even though I clicked the box in order to show...

Talking of confusion, I'm still wondering what a "knive" is, as in the original question.... :unsure: ;)

A few years ago my wife had a query with HMRC and was asked to call in to their local office to sort things out. I tagged along for moral support, clutching a few relevant documents that I'd thought might speed things up. We eventually got ushered up to this woman's desk, and the conversation...

....not to mention that it "may be recorded for training purposes".

"Thank you for holding. All lines are currently very busy. Your call is important to us.... Please stay on the line until your call is no longer important to you..." :D

To an extent, I agree. Had to smile about your grandfather - mine would never have a TV in the house, even though folk tried to assure him it was OK. His main reason was simply explained - he was in Northampton, the Cup Final was in London and kicked off at 3. Ergo, he couldn't possibly be...

...or drive without a licence. From what you read, enough folk do. But what if I want to join the sports centre?! :unsure::)

The saga continues.... To save a trip to the town bigger town - and parking therein - I thought I'd source out a photo machine locally...if indeed there is one. "Ah", said a pal, "The local sports centre has one. It makes sense, because you have to have a photo ID to become a member..." You'll...

My point still exists, though. If you aren't in possession of a current passport, there's absolutely no point in wasting your time doing it "online". If "they" can't trace me from name/address/NI/DOB/birthplace/driver number/mother's info, God help us. Bet they'd soon find me and stop the...

er....£93 if you apply "on paper"!

So why, pray, does it bother to state "if you have one"?! Why doesn't it simply say "if you haven't a passport, you can't do it online"?

Had a reminder to renew my driving licence yesterday. "Save time, do it online!" suggested the document, adding "Having your driving licence, national insurance number and passport (if you have one) details will help your online application". Note the "if you have one" bit... So, name and...

Don't suppose anyone's got a manual for the Minicraft MB490? There's a small amount of side-to-side play in the arm, and I was wondering if there was any legit way of sorting it. I've also got the MB730 power unit, which features a variable speed control, but also has a another push button...I'm...

I recently found out that "real" carpenters pencils were deliberately sized at 1/2" wide by 1/4" thick, so they could be used for (albeit rough) measurements. Well, someone should tell whoever makes the Aldi Workzone jobs, 'cos they ain't!

Morning, Gordon. PM sent...(I think!)

I know nothing about CNC or 3D Printing - well, in fact, I know nothing about lots of things! - but I wondered if some kind soul would consider helping me out by making one of these, please? I have a Dremel lookalike, and a Proxxon router base, but the two don't really like each other. I've...

(Perhaps one for Mr.Little? :unsure:) Had to stop watching all the current TV coverage - I just didn't get it... Why they've decided to cut the electricity and water off from a 90's footballing legend is beyond me. And as for his strip? Well, who wants to see that?
