Welcome to the forum Charly. First of all I'm no expert and so I'll wait for the others to advise in more detail. What I would say is visit the Axminster power tool website http://www.axminster.co.uk/ . You will have a far better choice than places like Homebase and B & Q. I have had a Skil...

Thanks for the tip Derek.

Fair enough then Moose :D

Would this be a good point to readvertise my Russian made 4" Telescope? £200 plus P&P SFHYT Dave :D Phil

Go on you big Wus :D :D

I'm not advocating for the "poor" burglar, but I would be worried about the consequences of hurting anybody. The smoke may be harmless but if his vision is obscured he may trip over something and seriously injure himself. I know they shouldn't be there, but in this upside down world we live in...

Like many Neil I have an oil filled 2Kw radiator set on 3 and have had no problems with damp, the heater keeps the temp at about 45F. Phil

Don't know about that Olly, all I did today was take the clamps off :oops: . I'll get a good go at it next weekend. Ed, all I have is an Arrow electric nail gun and it doesn't fire the pins all the way. You have to finish off with a punch which obviously leaves a mark. As I say, I'll think...

I don't know how to do that Tom, this is the size in Photobucket. Do you know? Thanks Nola, that is my light box. I have it on for about an hour each time I am in the shed. Thanks Ed, I was going to just glue the strips as i don't want to see the pins. Phil Edited original post to...

Decided to put the sheet of 8 x 4 Cherry veneered MDF to use today by making a bookcase. I had it cut to 4 x 4 x 2 and to minimise wastage I made it 48" high 24" wide. The sides would be 8" and the shelves a little over 7". It would mainly be used for paperbacks. Here is the base and first...

These posts make you realise how lucky I am without even trying. Not going to tempt fate by saying why but you get my drift. What makes it even more amazing is that when I went to school in the '70's, if you were late the teacher (who was built like the proverbial brick outside convenience)...

Roger, you have hit the nail on the head! My wife does not do map reading to say the least; she was going to divorce me a few years ago when we were trying to find Salem Mass.:D . To be honest Schuilty has got a point as we will only use it for Belfast, Italy and San Francisco and then sit...

My mrs and I both love it, the camaraderie is fantastic. It may not be Marius next year though, Poundstone and Ortmeyer will give him a good run. Poor old Terry had a stinker :( Phil

I've had a look at the 770 on Amazon Ray as it also includes the USA , this would also be beneficial to me. £200 without the VAT, but as I say I might get a few more opinions before I take the plunge. Thanks Phil

Thanks lads, this is the info I need! I thought you just put in where you want to go and follow what it says :oops: I have got this off the internet, should I just use it and save myself some money...

Thanks for your replies everyone, 5-2 to TomTom up to now. I've read a lot of the reviews on Amazon which help. Will let it run for a week or so before I buy. Phil

I'm thinking about driving to Italy this summer, can anyone suggest a good sat nav that covers Europe? I'm not really au fait with them as you don't need them in Jersey. TIA Phil

Your story reinforces the necessity of eyesight tests on a regular basis. I used to drive taxis years ago and a colleague only had one eye. Another taxi driver had a heart attack and required a heart transplant; he was back behind the wheel three months later. They found a heart for him...

Roger, you should live here, JEC are putting the cost of electricity up by 25% this week. The best bill I had was for the last winter quarter, £460 for a two bedroom apartment. Phil

Cheers Roy, do you fly?
