I see scientists have established that the ice sheet over the arctic has returned after the cold winter to 80's levels. Could this spark a new tax to stop Global Cooling? Did Jack Bauer have anything to do with it, or was it the Russians?

So, it appears a lot of people are happy with street view after wizzers non logical rant. So anyone who goes along with this view should also be happy to travel to the USA, because they would be happy for, finger printing, DNA swabs, eye retina scans and giving home address...... So now they...

I want my home picture removed from google street map. Does anyone else think this is intrusive? Why should they free of charge make money via adds etc from mine and every house in the Uk without first asking if we would like to be on it? In the US they have now coupled to the photo, the name...

IF and it's a big if, I decide to try turning pull knobs for say a chest of drawers will the knobs require metal inserts putting in for attaching them to the drawers, or will a drilled piolet hole be enough? Any suggestions for making cabinet handles on a router table, like a pull rather than a...

Do you cut it out and just use the heartwood when making furniture? What are the rule if there are any?

Just take a look at this. Why was it not reported in the Press over the last couple of days or did I miss it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bypLwI5AQvY
