I preferred to use cheques as the counterfoils were attached to the book so I could keep a track on what I was spending. Even though the money didn't leave my account for a few days I considered it gone straight away and never got confused. I use a debit card now purely for convenience, but...

Hi Dave We never say never, but it is extremely unlikely.

There's a long history of shows at Stoneleigh... The first woodworking shows there were organised by Meridienne about 15 years ago; they were held annually for about three years before moving to their current home near Leamington Spa; this was done to reduce costs as the new venue is owned by...

All of the advice above is sound and it's nice to get a few name checks, thanks! There is a product called 'Safety Cloth' available which is a thick paper cloth that can be safely used for turning. A big advantage it has over kitchen towel is that it stays wet longer - kitchen towel is designed...

I wonder if people are misunderstanding the point of this practice? The bank (and other institutions) don't check that you have given your mother's real maiden name. They only ask the question so that you can identify yourself to them if needed. It's a popular question because it should be...

Anyone?

Hi Guys An interesting thread; I don't often go mobile on 'shared networks' but I've sometimes wondered about other network users being able to access my shared folders - so I normally make sure it's empty. I hadn't thought of using a firewall in this way, d'oh! So, I've stuck Zone Alarm on my...

Well I just have to say, obviously a knocking shop means something different in Devon than it does in the rest of the UK... or maybe DW has a secret he wants to let us in to?

Maybe I'm being daft (wouldn't be the first time...) I've checked my BBCi player thingy on Virgin but I can't see the Tennis Final. Am I looking in the wrong place, can't get it or, as I say, being daft? Thanks!

Hi Richard You're welcome, sorry if it got your hopes up of a nice day out relaxing! Hope the day goes well, I see a couple of people have added themselves to the list, thanks guys!

Hi All I know that many of you deal with Axminster Power Tools (as do we) and find them helpful and efficient (as do we!). It seems they've got a special event on soon which I thought you all might like to know about and possibly even help out with. Unlike most things Axminster, it's not...

Hi Guys All helpful replies so far... well most of them (ahem Chris!). Just to clarify something, this feeling isn't at all painful, just a nuisance. It's never been enough of a problem for me to think about going to the doctors and it only ever seems to happen when I'm tired. Other times I...

This is definitely one of those 'hope this is allowed' things, but it is of interest and I have nothing to gain from publicising this... You may already know that every few years a company in Norway arranges a woodturning cruise along the Norwegian fjords. Many well known turners take part...

No, not some long forgotten confectionery... I know I'm not the only one to get this but I don't know how commonplace it is either... Some evenings, when I'm very tired, I get a strange feeling in my legs that I can only describe as 'fizzy'; my legs feel uncomfortable and it doesn't matter what...

Gents I believe - and I hope I am not doing anyone a disservice here, I'm picking my words very carefully in case they are misconstrued - that the people behind Tilgear are members of a religious movement that limits their interaction with technology and associated equipment. This will, I...

Hi Guys The website is undergoing some subtle, behind the scenes changes at the moment, one of the results being that I can't do much on it! Only because I haven't mastered it yet, it'll come. Meanwhile, the brush referred is this one: We have other brushes available as well that would do...

Yep, that one seems to work quite nicely, thank you very much! The only dilemma I have now is whether to let on about this or to feign surprised ignorance when Messenger is no longer available... now, where's that 'evil face' emoticon..! Thanks again to all respondents in this thread!

Thanks Mike; I can vouch for the fact that it works and seems to be irreversible! You can't uninstall it and there are no options on installation, it's just there! It only seems to work on the machine it's installed onto. One system restore later... I'll try the other methods as well and will...

Great stuff so far guys, thank you very much (others around here might not share that sentiment!), I can see some experimenting ahead but all worthwhile!

Hi all For reasons I won't bore you all with but I'm sure you can imagine, I'd like to block certain computers on the wireless network at home from accessing Messenger and similar programs. I'm using a Linksys router and have worked out that there is an 'access restriction' that I can put in...
