I really love this project but doubted my ability to achieve the woodwork part. Nevertheless it did make me think I ought to get something to hang my headphones on so I searched for some headphone stands and found this! It looks pretty much the same size as Claire's, possibly a bit thinner and...

+ another one for Olson. If it helps, a few days ago I asked them for a price for a 6 gang individually switched one and it came out as £58 +VAT + £12 carriage.

OK, I checked the 'bad' one against the 'good' one and had a good prod around. Everything seemed ok. Slightly baffled I put them both back into the system and they work! I have no idea what went on there but maybe I was just being stupid. As Bill said, all's well that ends well. And thanks...

Thanks Tony, good thought. I'll give it a try tomorrow. After a stressful afternoon putting up guitar hangers on dot and dab plaster walls I self-medicated with martinis. Cheers!

I have a pair of Quad IIs that I use with a Quad 44 and ESL57s. We moved house earlier this year and I have just unpacked and connected this system after much decorating (!) One of the IIs is not working. It worked fine before being packed up. It was transported without valves in its original...

I have an olive one not being used at the mo while we're getting stuff done to the sitting room. I'm near Ludlow.

I've written to my MP asking for advice on who would be best place to pursue this.

I have a serious question about whether this was a lawful vote based on the fact that the information put before voters was untrue. Given the Brexiters back-pedalling on the £350m a week to the NHS, free movement etc etc, how can this be considered a legitimate result if it was based on...

Graham, sorry but I had enough to do both speakers but only a little left over. Not enough for one speaker, let alone two. Good luck if you are able to get a GB going.

The velcro on my SBLs fell off, finally. I tried different sorts of Velcro, including heavy duty and none were the same or worked properly in gripping the covers. Velcro UK were very helpful and after sending a photo of the original stuff told me that the correct, double-hook Velcro is MVA8. It...

You think? Ok. Well I'm afraid I think of it as somewhat similar to a personalised number plate. You may not consider that vulgar, but I'm afraid I do. The main point, however, was about the breathtaking lack of acknowledgement of a private contractor to the NHS critiquing the introduction of...

Simon, two things: Firstly, if I have got this right, you were a GP. As the vast majority of GPs are private businesses contracted to the NHS, paying themselves from the profits and exacting a pension from the sale of their share in the business, I think you have a bit of a cheek in disparaging...

Ok, I've cheered up... What I posted before and deleted was about the use of management consultants in the NHS. Clearly, most large organisation use 'em. They are useful sometimes to deal with a discrete piece of work where they have a particular expertise. Or to give an outside view of the...

Initial impression: It looks like a pregnant ATV3. The remote looks nice. The initial setup is slick and uses another of your i-devices connected by bluetooth so there is no faffing about with entering passwords etc. However I use my ATV to play stuff from a NAS and connecting to Homeshare means...
