    Bike Respray Project No2 - Raleigh to Baum replica

    Hi guys. You may remember the project I did a couple of years ago where I turned this Tifosi: Into this Super SiX: Well some urchin nicked that from Tesco a couple of months ago and with no money to buy anything as good as the Tifosi, I ended up getting a second hand Raleigh Airlite 300...

    Soothing sounds for babies

    As many know I am a manic researcher. Mainly of useless info relating to our hobby that you don't really have to go into so much depth on but also on anything else. Normally it is something I am doing i.e. If I want to rewire my house I spend a few days researching like mad before I do it...

    DIY 'upgrade' of Surround Sound

    Hello, maybe a little (or a huge amount ;) ) below most 'audiophile's in terms of tech specs but I was wondering if any guys here could give me some advice on the following: I currently have a cheap DVD player plus the satelilite, Virgin box and PC plugged into the back of an old Aiwa...

    My New Companion - Jiggy, Pic Heavy ;)

    Last Tuesday I spotted an advert saying 'greyhound free to a good home due to lack of space' and decided to take the plunge (I have been around dogs all my life but this is my first as owner.) He arrived Thursday and joins a household of myself, my wife and our 3 and 4 year old sons. He is a...

    Amusing Joke

    An old, blind cowboy wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders some coffee. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the waiter, 'Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?' The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. In a very deep, husky voice...

    How to return ebay search to the old sort method

    Recently Ebay changed it's search facility to use Best Match which brings up the high volume sellers with good reputations ignoring the time the auction ends. It used to be (as you know) The items ending soonest would show first. This new method seems to be much slower and stalls/crashes quite...

    I have a couple of annoying glitches on my PC

    Wondering if anyone had any solutions? First is that I have 2 DVDRW+internals on PC. If I put a blank DVD-R disc into either of them and look in my computer it recognises whichever of the 2 as CD. This wouldn't be a problem apart from the fact that several burning programs won't let me burn...

    Motorist beats 98mph speeding charge by buying back his car!

    It is hardly the boy racer's vehicle of choice. About 14 years old and with 130,000 miles on the clock, the Honda Civic driven by Dale Lyle was barely capable of reaching the speed limit. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/motoring/art ... 85mph.html

    GnR's latest album

    Even though there's only Axl Rose left this album is absolutely awesome!!! Unlike the other metal bands of the 80s/90s (At the risk of angering JamesM I will mention Metallica) it seems like a return to real heavy rock rather than selling out to the 'current sound'. First heavy album I've...

    Opinions on the "new" england

    Volume limiter in XP?
