    How far do you have to go?

    This is the thing with private landlords (as I'm sure you know), most of them want the work done as cheap as possible and sometimes you just have to give them your honest advice and walk away in the knowledge that they'll get some 'howdy partner' in to do what they want for wallies... Yeehaw...

    Think i failed my exams

    If it's open book, you will have your books with you. If your exam has some regs content ie 2391 then you will need to know where to find stuff. A big mistake some people make is assuming that an open book exam will be a doddle because you have all the answers in the book in front of you. That...

    Think i failed my exams

    Top tip for any open book exam... learn to use the index in the book!! Seriously, look at your past papers and see if you can find the reference you need in the index. It is way more efficient than any amount of tabs in the book or any amount of regs references you write inside the back cover.

Dunno what your local paper is like but I get most of my non-recommendation work from them and they are usually fairly reasonable rates for an ad running 4 - 6 weeks... a bit...

    NiCd Battery Resurrection

    I hooked up 4 - 6V batteries in series and pulsed a charge through the batteries. Various theories about 'whisker' shorts across some individual cells in the batteries (hence the memory phenomenon.) Blast 'em with a high DC voltage and it burns them off... I used roughly this technique...

    NiCd Battery Resurrection

    Anybody ever tried this? Regenerating your NiCd batteries with a surge from a DC supply. Tried it with two of my Dewalt 14.4's today. One battery (which has been completely dead for about six months) has just taken a charge and is now working (although not as new) in the gun. The other which...
