    Problems with viewing threads?

    Hey gang, Reading the Forum today, several times I've clicked on a thread and the computer has loaded the page header, and the page footer, but not the actual message text. Is this happening for anyone else? (Is there an NNTP frontend to the forum? :) )

    Wanted TV set

    Well, it's finally happened: the Toshiba 4:3 TV set I got from Miss T (formerly?) of this parish has broken. Black screen, bad case of the buzzes mixed in with the audio. Back to the 14" portable for the moment, then. So, has anybody got a living-room size TV set they want rid of, or know where...

    Anyone any good at fixing ipods?

    My 60gb iPod, generously donated to my cause by a Forumite after I found it down the back of my sofa (and yes, I did ask if they wanted it back...), has packed up working. :( I think the hard drive's gone funny.

    Which takeaway sold a box of meat for c£7?

    A few years ago, c2005, I had what I can only describe as a selection of meats on a naan bread in a pizza box for about £7. I've looked through all the takeaway menus I can find, but can't find anything that trips any memories. I think it was either Ali's or Al-karim. So, does anyone: a)...

    Anyone know if the election candidates are in town today?

    Last Saturday I had the pleasure of talking to Barry Stamp and Mike Shone in BTTF Square, who explained a bit about what they want to do if they get elected.

    Bookcase

    Given that I now have a spare room, I'm going to put all my books in it and have a library. This means I need bookcases. Anyone know anywhere? Functionality is ranked over aesthetics, so I'm not going to be spending a fortune on antiques or anything. Ta. :)
