    One for the 4E65726473 among us

    The failure of a single port is probably quite common because if they are like mine, each port has an interface circuit next to the socket and such devices are likely to fail at some point. How is the cable that is plugged into that circuit routed physically? Is it likely that a switching spike...

    Which Adhesive?

    Thanks very much for the extra advice. I like the thought of throwing bad glue into the waste bin! It's funny, I had in mind that many glues were developed for the DeHavilland Mosquito but after doing a bit of reading that idea of mine appears to be wrong. I hadn't realised yetloh that Titebond...

    Which Adhesive?

    One point I picked up somewhere with polyurethane is that its tendency to expand on curing can mess up blind dowelled joints maybe?

    Which Adhesive?

    Many thanks for the advice, I'll place a few orders and try them on a few bits of scrap and the first (probably disasterous) box I turn out.

    Which Adhesive?

    I'd appreciate some advice from regular woodworkers please. I'm planning to do some joinery using mainly 'Redwood' and am just about at the stage where I'm going to ruin some perfectly good lengths of timber by turning them into sawdust, as I learn the ropes (having read a lot). Eventually I...

    B & Q

    Our local B&Q employs some really nice and helpful people, and their returns policy (as long as you keep the receipt) is pretty painless; I'm sorry I can't think of much more that's good to say about them apart from the fact that when working away from home and in dire need of a tool that wasn't...

    Do companies have to honour an ebay sale ?

    I totally agree, an honest explanation is the least that you should expect, but sadly common courtesy can be in short supply sometimes. I wonder if you would actually choose to deal with somebody who has treated you as this guy has though?

    Do companies have to honour an ebay sale ?

    Any seller can legally refuse to ship an item as long as he/she refunds costs in full; this applies on ebay or in a shop. When you hand over money you are effectively only offering to pay for an item, but the seller is not obliged to accept your offer of payment. All this occasionally comes to...

    Duck!

    It sounds like NASA has bought and switched on its new toy, found nothing and worried that when this toy wears out they won't be given the cash to buy another. So some bright spark ('Charlie') on his way home has dangled a stone on a fishing line in front of the new toy so that the Night Shift...

    Which Pop Rivet & Tool

    Many thanks for the information! I'll start shopping around for the best deal this week.

    If you like demolition footage...

    They were told only to blow the bloody doors off! So, I guess I won't be using that method to burn the paint off my wrought iron railings!

    Personal Question - Power of Attorney

    Just to add my twopence worth: Is it possible for you to share the power of attorney with somebody? If so it might avoid those family bust-ups which involve your Uncle Alfie accusing you of running off with that goldfish bowl he'd always been promised, and it's a fact that sibblings just love to...

    UK Tax Guidance

    If I get a £100 rebate should I go with one £100 hooker or five at £20 a trick?

    OK so I'm a plonker!

    I thought you were going to say "I don't half miss him" :?

    Using a laptop away from home

    The hotel should give you a password to access their WiFi router. It depends on the hotel whether you have to pay for access to WiFi or not though. If the hotel does charge you it might be worth seeing if the cafe next door or another establishment offers free WiFi. It's worth making sure your...
