Hope you're feeling better soon, and belated birthday greetings to you, Gill. John

Thanks Jake. So apart from the few downloads in the trial, it doesn't seem to be possible at the moment. I have to say that the few on the trial aren't of any interest to me. "Chris Evans - The Best Bits" can't be more than a few seconds long! It'll be quicker to download comedy from various...

Thanks for that, Gill. That isn't an option for me at the moment as we can't receive any BBC digital signals in our area of North Devon, and the BBC can't tell me when this is likely to happen. If THEY don't know, who does? Do they plan, or is it all haphazard? I'm becoming convinced it's...

Do you record from a stand-alone digital radio, Gill, or on your PC? If you do it on the PC, can you explain how to do it in easily understood terms please? John

Yup, I agree with you totally, Alan. My wife and I each had one from our son at Christmas, and we're both thoroughly enjoying them. She can listen to her Cliff Richard and Gilbert & Sullivan (barf!!!!) and I can listen to The Shadows, Sky, and the gorgeous Hayley Westenra. I've also found I...

They must have been busy since New Year's Day! I received mine today too. Wish I had some money, I could happily spend a small fortune. John

I can't help you with your problem, but wondered if you find E Mule better or worse than Kazaa, which is the only one I've tried to date. John

I've just seen a triple-LED light source with a pencil-thickness flexible shaft about 6" long, in a tool shop window. About £10. Can't see that I'm going to find anything better than that, so problem solved, thanks guys. I can tape it to the router body and aim it precisely where I want the...

Welcome, Joefus. Yes, this is a very friendly forum - plenty of good advice with no condescension from anyone. Several people have mentioned LED's. I have absolutely no experience of them. Are they all low voltage, or can you use them with 220v? And do you just connect them to live and...

Thanks for the ideas so far guys, but I thought one of you would know your way around the Maplins catalogue much better than me. I've looked, but can't see what I want (maybe 'cause I don't really know what I'm looking for). I would much prefer a 220 volt small bulb and holder, or a...

I should have mentioned that I mostly use it on a Trend mortice & tenon jig, and need light to see where I'm plunging, so light by the cutter is what I'm looking for.

I love my Triton router, but need more light directed into the whirly area when I’m using it, as the level of light in my workshop is adequate rather than generous. I’ve tried an Anglepoise lamp but tend to bang it with my head, and the lamp gets hot. To prevent me branding myself, I’d like...

Glad you're OK, and hope the smoke isn't toxic. Regards, John

It's often a matter of available time, Alf. The simple truth is that a powered sander is quicker. The other aspect is, and forgive me for this as you're a lady, that if you get all sweaty doing sanding by hand in a cold workshop, it's 'orrible once you cool down. In warmer weather the sweat...

Don't sell it, Gidon! You never know when you're going to need it in a hurry, 'cause you've got a job you want to finish and the glitch fairy visits your one and only sander. Or if someone asks to borrow one, you can happily hand over the spare for a while. John

Dave, that's a terrific drawing. Is it done with SketchUp? If so, please can you tell me how you achieved that impressive text? My text efforts in Sketchup are very disappointing. Regards, John

Please - no sympathy, or I'll disolve in tears! Somebody cheer me up, when's the next woodwork show in the South West? Gotta have something to look forward to.

I've just discovered that I'm unable to go on Thursday, which makes me rather sad :cry: Does anyone have a use for my ticket? PM me with an address and I'll stick it in the post, as it seems a shame to waste £6.

Thanks WiZeR, you're right. When I tried it before the map didn't appear when I wagged my cursor, so I discounted it and carried on searching. The problem seems to be my computer, which seems to be having a funny five minutes which has lasted nearly a week now! That Multimap is an amazing...

Despite a lengthy search, I've been unable to find the post, fairly recent, of someone who posted a map which was actually a satellite photo, but when the cursor was moved over it, a map appeared. I thought it was Multimap, but now don't think so. The satellite picture for the UK was far...
