Hi, been away for a while (apathy, not prison), but m'boss has asked me to distribute this.... That number works all the time, and those who remember that long ago will recognise it as the original phone number.

Is anyone else having trouble with Wolverhampton Road Surgery? I keep getting messages left for me about having to make an urgent appointment, but when I finally get through to them they seem to know nothing about it and say they are booked up for the next three weeks or so. The medical staff...

If you have a Tesco HUDL2, DO NOT UPDATE THE SOFTWARE! 1. You will hate the changes to the interface. 2. Android's continuing Nanny Regime means that it is practically impossible to delete stuff from your SD card. 3. The standby battery life has gone from days to hours. 100% battery to having...

I'm looking at a buying a hatchback or estate car in reasonable condition (ie 11+ months MOT) dated 2000+ for less than £1000. Any idea where to look, or does anyone have one to offload? Things I don't want are: former taxis, French cars, Kas or Corsas. Thanks.

Sorry about the forthcoming rant, but it is the time of year when the part-timers come out. Aren't they a pain in the arse? They don't know how to order a round properly, not break the furniture, and not how to spread a mixture of vomitus and red wine over about 3/4 of a minibus. Some bellend...

There seem to be lots of rumours that Westside has been taken over by Go Carz, and that they have Westside's phone number now. The story is... Go Carz Wolverhampton (formerly Central Cars) have taken over the operations of Westside Wolverhampton, after they got shut down for being very naughty...

Is anyone interested in Dynamic DNS services now that dyndns.org are shutting down their free service? If enough people are interested I can probably sort it out. If you want static DNS I can sort you out hostnames under recondite-computers.co.uk or pyramidical.co.uk now. Let me know.

I've decided to have a noodle about with Garageband on the iPhone4. Does anyone know if a simple 1/4" to 3.5mm jack lead will work, or will I need to buy a stupid dongley thing. T'internet seems to be tied on this issue.

Just like the title says, I'm after a foot wide shelf or piece of timber 6-7 foot long, ideally about three quarters of an inch thick. Does anyone have one spare? Or have an idea of where to buy one. I've tried B&Q/Wickes etc but they don't have anything suitable that they are willing to cut to...

Has anyone witnessed the alleged gangs of youngsters that are roving the Peach Avenue/Exeter Street area at night jumping out in front of cars and throwing rocks at them? I've been told about this twice this week by people from another taxi company, but we haven't had any problems.

Has anyone else had problems with Heart Internet? They've just completely deleted and disabled one of my sites as it was allegedly hacked. They won't tell me exactly what the problem was, apart from "an unsafe script". A quick check of the files on the site vs. a backup from 3 months ago shows...

Has anyone else had a problem trying to set an iPhone 3GS up with a static IP address on a Virgin Media router? I've managed to do it with various other Apple mobile devices, but the router complains that the MAC address of the 3GS is invalid. It isn't a major issue, as I can still connect...

In capitals, as it stands out. And I accidentally derailed the Flood Warning thread.... What roads are currently impassable?

The giant pain in the backside that in the EU Cookie law will hit soon. Heart Internet (the lads I get my hosting from) have published this useful bit of help an advice: http://www.heartinternet.co.uk/blog/2012/04/what-to-do-about-the-new-eu-cookie-law/

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004PFLLQS/ Ideal for blu-tacking to your latest stupid RC project, or taping to a firework and launching skyward. Works as a webcam too.

I've got an old, much abused, leather crombie that is direly in need of repair. It needs the pockets re-lining, the buttons replacing, and a gaping gap (?) fixing where the left sleeve has partially come away from the main coat, as this picture shows: It also needs a thorough cleaning, as it...

I'm just starting this thread to try to get general moaning and stuff out of that more serious thread: http://www.staffordforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=9058=

Sorry, but after pressure from my hosting provider, i've had to kill off the image host and delete all the files. Once again, sorry. Tony
