    Every little helps,

    Are you going to dress up in black jeans and polo neck, swim a lake, climb a mountain, leap through the bedroom window and leave the chocolates with an anonymous note leaving her wondering "Who can have left these?"

    Freesat

    Thanks Paul It's the aerial reception that I am having the problem with. For instance and the most obvious problem is that BBC 4 in HD either will not load or disappears completely off of the list! And I am sure other channels are dropping off. Maybe being able to use my old Sky dish will solve...

    Freesat

    Just to be clear, you had a Sky dish and just plugged this into the Humax box, set it up and it worked? Wow, if that's all it is, I'm off to buy a Humax box! Which model did you get?

    Freesat

    Same thing here. Dumped Sky for exactly the reasons you say, went to BT Youview. Then dumped BT Youview for the same reasons as Sky. We now have Freeview and Netflix and haven't looked back. However Freeview is a bit flakey, not sure if it would also apply to Freesat. But the digital channels...

    Taking up smoking...

    I've tried a few techniques for smoked salmon. First is dry cure. Great results and you end up with a firmer, not so moist result. Second is the a brine cure, a bit softer and more moist. Both of those, but freeze the salmon for a few days first. It helps break down the moisture in the...

    Effect of sunlight on different woods

    I had an experience with a Maple kitchen. It looked fantastic when installed, a lovely light colour. About 12 years later, I took down a wall to extend the kitchen and made matching units again in Maple. Now when I say matching, it turned out in style only! The original units in comparison were...

    Surveys .. is it me?

    I mean those surveys that companies ask you to do when you have bought something off of them. In this case some vinyl LPs from their website. So I did the survey and got asked the question, "How satisfied were you with the process?" The answer was 10/10. The next question is why did I say...

    Getting a skip taken away

    You only have to ask. I always find that a skip is a way of getting to know your neighbours better :D

    Getting a skip taken away

    I did think of that, but they would also want cash for disposal.

    Another option is to flush it as soon as it hits. If you're that worried. Possibly open a window as well, if there is one. 62 years later and I didn't know this was a problem.

    GRP flat roof problem.

    OK, the reason I ask is because I had exactly the same problem, flat roof with Victorian roof light and parapet wall. Two gullies through the parapet wall to let the water out. This was a new extension. The roofer is highly recommended and has a superb reputation, but even he was foxed. As...

    Getting a skip taken away

    But isn't it different with skips? I've paid up front, so wouldn't it be in their interest to collect it so that they can hire it out again?

    Getting a skip taken away

    That's what is so great about this forum :D I would never have thought of phoning them up like Rorschach or Droogs suggested. Sneaky :wink: If it doesn't go today, I'll try that tomorrow. Perhaps suggest someone knocked on the door asking if I wanted it taken away?
