    Organ Donation

    Good post Miss Sweden, a subject I am very passionate about.

    Unfortunately Down Hill

    I'm not good on change normally, but it doesn't take long to get used to it. It's just people having a chat after all, how bad can it be???

    Pat Testing

    Wow, Thanks Pache, I'm fairly sure I read the whole internet and didn't find that information so clearly put. Philbas, that was my back up plan for my friend!! Ooh, I love what happens when you press the Scoob button - it kind of zoooms off into space.

    Pat Testing

    I have a friend who is in a bit of a panic to get 3 items of equipment PAT tested. The last time I did any PAT testing was at least a million years ago, with a nice machine that did it all for me.

    jail? fine? spankie bottom?

    I think a lot of customers who have had bad work done know that it is partly their fault. They got Bob from the pub to do the work, cheep, no paper work and he'll do it all for cash. When it goes wrong, that's when they realise that Bob is not quite the angel they thought he was. But he did...

    Help with daughters homework

    Oh thank goodness I'm not going mad. It's on a printed worksheet that the school have photocopied from a book and given out as homework. Now I look closer, I can see that she has a tick after her (wrong) answer! I will bring it to the schools attention tomorrow - can't wait. :)

    I'm sorry to do this, but I'm stumped and I need the help of all of your brains. My 10 year old daughter has a maths questions that goes like this: "The sound of an orchestra is about 60 dB.

    Couch to 5k

    Oh wow, I'm not sure I'll ever recover - I've just come back from running for 25mins. I new record for me. Onoff: I went to a shop that made me go on a tread mill and they fitted some trainers properly for me - I'd definately recomend it.

    Basic LED lamp question

    We've found that some of the LED replacements are fine except for the beam angle. They are getting better, but no point replacing nice wide GU10s with nasty spotty LEDs.
