  1. Ignore it - you did what I did and never read each page as you downloaded it - there is a tick box to try the full version and you never unticked it. - either uninstall and reinstall and watch what it says or just carry on. dave
  2. It must be law as our local #### camp has a CCTV warning sign at the entrance ? Dave
  3. Having a back boiler in a multi fuel stove will take a lot of heat from stove casing - I had a Clearview 700 (or 750 - same one as at Catton Hall) and without boiler it would get to 600f in 30 min - with boiler wouldn't get hotter than 400f - saying that you couldn't touch the radiators - Also the glass sooted up due to less heat in stove I fitted mine as a stand alone heater putting two rads in a room - one from oil boiler and one from stove - I fitted a pipe stat at first floor level to turn on pump as some rads were on ground floor and others upstairs - you also need a heatsink rad before pump to create the flow of heated water - you will also find a big increase in fuel consumption. I have had cast stoves and steel stoves and will go for steel any day over cast - had three cast stove all of which either cracked or joint's opened. Only got room now for small stove and have a Hunter 4- it's ok but should have opened out fire place more. Dave
  4. And me -- 50 quid into the shooting bag. Dave
  5. I had £50 with one bond bought in 1959. - if you look down list of winners online you will see there are people winning with less the £100 worth - you will also see majority of winners all live in Tower bloody Hamlets and SE. Dave
  6. Our TV only goes on occasionally and Countryfile was one on Sunday - I thought it was me who thought all these girl presenters had harsh loud voices so glad to hear it isn't -Had to turn sound off when that gobby bird on bike started to prattle - Had pleasure of listening to old prog of Antiques shows with Fiona Bruce the other night - Oh what joy to listen to calm and mellow presenter. University Challenge was prog for last night - now I don't think there anything intelligent worth watching now till Question of Sport on Friday Dave
  7. I got most of my bits from OC - went and picked them up as they are in Stoke -- I am not a gamer but my system is near enough same as the link you supplied - I have a 250g Samsung SSD which I use for system and any prog that I put on PC - all music and photo's - document's etc go on 1TB second HD I have read that a lot of people prefer Win 7 which I bought - Mate has Win 8 and he hates it - getting the guy in again to put 7 on. Only problem I have is my BB - will be 2015 before I can get Infinity so really my system is wasted - Runs like a rocket then go make cup of tea while sending 1mb file. Dave

    Buying gold bars

    Buy low and sell high - trouble is what is low now can become the high. http://www.bullionbypost.co.uk/?gclid=CJ-nrLmCobkCFTPItAod434A3Q up to date prices. Also try "Chard 1964" I think. Dave

    Induction Hobs

    I have a Siemens Induction hob - 4 yrs old now and never missed a beat - Only gripe I have is finger touch controls - If I have to buy a new one I will try to get one with knob control. - All our Meyer Circulon pans were scrap as they didn't work so had to buy new pans - Do not buy cheap ones from anywhere - Buy Circulon induction pans - - Even a grill pan cost me 90 quid but have to say it has been worth every quid. Mate on gas even went to Induction and he is tight as ducks ***. Dave
  10. Tut 10% - must change my password to something I can't remember. Dave
  11. Good old Shropshire Star said the other day that 1200 Numpties have so far been issued with ticket's - I am on cruise control from start to finish - most times--- but there is always some plonker doing 43mph then as you start to pass 7mph quicker they speed up. Dave
  12. This just sum's it up http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-news/66692/winter-tyres-4x4-grip-test-video Dave
  13. I can not stand football - hate loath and detest the game but have to say +5 +6 +7 - every time you see the Beckhams they and their children are always well turned out - he get's my vote. Dave
  14. Stuey What make are they -- I have a full set of Nokians on steel wheels - Just waiting for weather forcast to say snow or temp to drop to 7c then put them on for winter.- They are brilliant in snow but as always you get what you pay for - ie - more expensive usually means more grip. -- If you look on Mytyres at winter tyres they give score out of five - 0 being brill and 5 rubbish. -- Dave
  15. Did read yesterday that Australia has tipped 6m bottles down drain - seems they overstocked the US - the bit I didn't get was comment it was past it's sell by date ? Huh ?-- I am sure if they had shipped it over here I would gladly have taken a load from them if it was quid a bottle. Off to Lidl then this afternoon. Dave
  16. I have had A300 Outlander now for 2 yrs so I was surprised to see they have changed the gas system to Inertia - do you think it's better than Gas system ?? Anyway glad the PW gunsmith's have solved your problem for you. - took three pages but you got there. Dave
  17. father in Law converted his coal shed and outside loo into a loo/utilty room - That had concrete roof on - he lined inside walls and ceiling but remember this was years ago so don't know what regs are today - After he died MIL said the ceiling had condensation on it - So one weekend I battened top of roof with 3x3 held on with frame bolt's to correspond with 8x4 ply sheets - Put 2" thick blue insulation sheet between battens then boarded - that left a 1" air gap between insulation and plywood - battons overhung concrete roof by 1" all round for facia - Tar and felt and it was never a problem after. If it was mine today I would knock it off and put pitched wood and tile roof on. Dave
  18. Done that at 1mph - Was off to races one Sunday - nipped out to fuel up - came back up lane -(one car width) - stopped then did slow right turn to face other way outside my gates - jap bikes have rear brake on right (learnt on brit bikes) so almost at stop and touched front brake - it pulled handlebars to right and I was left hopping sideways on right foot as bike slowly fell on it's side - nice little dent in tank from throttle clamp. Suzuki GT550 triple and was top heavy and I have short legs. dave
  19. If someone is at work and the work is in no way shooting related why would they want to log into PW in work's time ?? dave
  20. When I bought my Hunter 4 the guy said as I had a clay lined flue I didn't need it lined - 18 month's later I got the black smelly sooty water down chimney breast - What the stove supplier hadn't factored in was cowboy builders of 70's installing clay liner upside down - Line it now just to be sure. dave
  21. No matter how much it cost's you won't ever regret buying a Clearview - Pay now reap benefit over next 10 yrs. Best Stove on market. Dave ps - You get what you pay for.

    Blasted Corn

    In all the 35 yrs I have had a garden overlooking a field this is first year one has been planted with corn - It's just as though someone has built a 10ft fence at bottom of garden - we can't see ****** all - anyone one know when the corn will be ripe and cut as I can't wait - give me wheat anyday. Dave
  24. Just checking to see if anyone was awake -I can still spell Duz though. :lol:
