Hi Frank Well, as you asked about the Constable Savage sketch... To set the scene... it's the 1980's and the Metropolitan Police (and especially their task force the Special Patrol Group) are being accused of racism. Cut to the interior of the Chief Constable's (played pompously by Rowan...

Hi Barry Yes it was Not The Nine O'Clock News, in a sketch where the General Synod were being criticized for their film 'The Life Of Monty Python', due to the similarities in it and the 'comic messiah' John Cleese; same initials as Jesus Christ, died on stage for us (many times) and, according...

Hi again Guys Thanks very much for all of the replies and the advice. I must be honest that some of it left me behind a bit, I'm a bit of a typical computer user inasmuch as I don't really know how it works, it just does (or sometimes doesn't!) Strangely enough the problem hasn't repeated...

Frank, flattery will get you nowhere!

Ah! Those Parrots!

Hi I can only speak generally here without knowing more about the poly you are using (and even then I don't know a great deal about them!) Firstly, I guess there are no instructions on the tin? Sanding between coats is just to smooth the surface to achieve a finish as close to that of the...

Hi again Alf Parrots? Our Shellac Sanding Sealer is probably very close to the product you mentioned, although you're right, we don't sell the exact product you describe. If I know of someone else's product would do the job I usually say so - if we don't do it we can't sell it! It's been a...

Hi Alf I'm not sure if a shellac finish would be hard wearing enough here, bearing in mind it will probably be wiped down quite a bit. It's also worth bearing in mind that although shellac is a naturally occurring product and in itself pretty harmless as far as I know, most of what is bought...

Hi Graham You have several options to choose from really. The following information applies to products we make - they have been tested to EN71 Toy Regulations and are therefore safe for toys and nursery furniture and of course I don't know if the same applies for other manufacturers. (Liberon...

Hi Guys Thanks for the feedback so far. My updates are updated and the drivers are also current so I don't think that it's them. Java is also loaded. I haven't installed anything new lately and don't generally play games on the PC (I use the PS2 for that when I can wrench control away of it...

Hi all Since installing Windows XP many months ago most of my computer troubles (crashes, hangs etc) stopped... ... until recently that is. Now, when I'm browsing around this site, especially when using the wheel on my mouse to scroll the page up and down, the screen freezes and I have to...

Hi again Andrew Having hopefully settled your original question, one coat or two, the choice of whether to apply one coat or two of wax really is up to you. Either is fine so it really depends on the look you want to achieve. If it was the exterior of the wardrobe I'd plump for two coats, but I...

Hi Andrew The short answer to your question is that, except in the case of very open grained/porous woods, you should only use one coat of sanding sealer. Although this shouldn't be a problem when using a wax over the top of it, there can be a problem when overcoating using a lacquer...

Did someone call? Hi Chaz. As DaveL says, we supply a range of stains including a some which we call Rainbow Colours Plus (for want of a better name) which includes red, blue, yellow, green, black etc. There are nine in all and are available as a Sample Pack of about 25ml of each colour so you...

Hi Rookie That looks great to me too! The finish will dull slightly after time, but more through wear than due to the nature of the finish. It will take a while though, so I hope that's okay. If you'd like to email the picture to me I'd like to put it in the gallery on our website if that's...

Gentlemen My thanks to you all; I have finally managed to sort it out (by following the advice given, I didn't work it out myself!) I appreciate all the offers of help.

Hi Jake Thanks for your kind comments, and also to others who have said similar things. Does the ego the world of good! Still can't get the avatar thing to work though! I think the problem is to do with size (where have I heard that before?) in that the URL address I am putting in is too big...

Somehow I don't think this is going to work, but I'll give it a go... My problem is getting the link address of the image I want to use... I can only get the address for the page. (Am I being thick?)

I'd like to put a picture with my username (I was thinking of our logo, as I am keen to make sure I 'declare my interest') and I note that others have worked out how to do this... but I can't! Would someone mind giving me a little walkthrough on it please?

Have you heard that the England team have been banned from owning dogs? The reason given is that they are unable to hold onto a lead...
