Congratulations. :) We're 5 weeks and counting 'til our little bump arrives. Can't wait! Cheers, Howard

Thanks all. It's been OK for most of yesterday and today, the problem came back. :? I'll be calling the garage on Monday. It's too wet and windy to start mucking about under the bonnet myself! Cheers, Howard

Hi, Try: http://www.classichandtools.com/acatalo ... isels.html I bought some AI chisels. Very pleased. Cheers, Howard

Afternoon, I've got a MB Vito 110 CDi van and I've just noticed that the acceleration is dying out at 3000rpm. It won't go above that mark and loses speed. I know absolutely nothing about mechanics, so before I ring the garage, is there anyone who know's what the cause may be? Cheers, Howard

Thanks Roger. We mainly use our PC for the net, email, photos and music. No gaming and not dependant on PC only programs, so I think I can tick all the boxes! The iMac G5 really appeals......but the powerbooks are tempting too. :wink: Cheers Howard

Worrying :( I've only ever had PC's, but a couple of friends have macs and they never seem to experience these sorts of concerns. Is this purely down to viruses being aimed at the masses i.e. windows users? We've been thinking for a while now, to give a mac a try when we're due to upgrade...

Yep, totally agree. I've got a firegfighter mate who is over there at the mo and a cousin who's a policeman doing his bit there too. Cheers, Howard

Fantastic! Vert well done. :) Cheers, Howard

The cost of fuel leads me to believe so! Cheers, Howard

The bang woke me up this morning, but didn't realise what it was until I turned the news on! The petrol stations are chocker block around here with panic buyers :roll: Cheers, Howard

New years (eve) is the only time I do smoke - I get one big fat cigar and take nearly an hour to smoke it! That's it for the year. Cheers, Howard

Hi Edmund. Both very nice pieces of work 8) Particularly like the stand - excellent finish on it! You must be very pleased. Cheers, Howard

Hi Alan, I bought the Joseph Marples Trial 1 Mortice Gauge and was very pleased with the quality of build and the screw mechanism. There was a review of guages in Practical Woodworking - July. The Marples Trial 1 scored "Best on Test". Cheers, Howard

Hi Byron Excellent idea! Not experienced enough myself to contribute, but I'd definitely listen in. Ideal for the ipod on long dog walks! Cheers, Howard

This is what I've done, and am pleased with it so far. 100mm Loft insulation sandwiched between shed wall and 6mm ply. The roof has been done this way too. Cheers, Howard
