    Weird electrics problem in kitchen

    Have you confirmed that the dryer is definitely on the socket circuit and not the oven circuit. It would be a good idea to check that now while it's all working, it might be helpful if the issue comes back.

    The 50k 10 Year Project / Show Car

    A faded Burgundy Vauxhall Carlton estate with caravan club stickers and a tow bar and all the rubbish kids leave in the back and Lotus Carlton running gear. Or failing that an X308 Jag XJR estate.

    TwoBlackLines destroyed him purely with the power of photography then went full Alpha and made us delete our recollections.

    Crimp Terminals!

    I've just bought some Draper ones for about £20. They seem to do the job.

    What is the best car you've ever owned and a brief reason why?

    I'm just thinking about this and peak car for me was 1993. I've had both a Xantia and Volvo 940 from that year. Both super comfy but still had a bit of steering feel. Both had fairly lazy engines so not need to thrash. Despite being automatic the Volvo was actually more fun to hoon about then...

    These are also really handy as a get out of jail in normal walls if you drill a hole too bit for your screws.

    Using old versions of MS Office?

    I seem to remember the file format changed with the introduction of 2007 so you may have issues working files you've received from others. As @Glanza has suggested Open Office or Libre Office might be an idea. Of do things properly and find a copy of Locoscript.

    Spec my wife a small car please.

    I doubt the current Cyber Truck will ever make it to Europe. It's basically a thing in America because they have a lot less safety regs for commercial vehicles including trucks. It's also so heavy you can drive it on a car license. Although that could probably be fudged just by reducing it's...

    Swapping hard wired appliance for a socket.

    If it's been done properly there should be a switched fused spur above the counter. But yes there needs to be a fuse if you're removing the plug.

    Swapping hard wired appliance for a socket.

    It was popular about 20 years ago because at the time you only needed to RCD protect socket circuits but a dedicated kitchen appliance circuit with flex plates was ok. If you're not planning to rearrange things in the near future the best approach would be to cut the plug off your tumble drier...

    What adapter do i need for this plug

    These are still fairly common in theatres. It's used to denote sockets that are attached to a dimmer system and not directly to the mains.

    Bst should be kept permanently.

    I think it's stupid, and to be honest I don't think it would matter a great deal weather we stay on BST or GMT. China is entirely in one time zone despite being huge, there are areas where the sun doesn't come up till 10am and they just adjust their day accordingly. EDIT: Just leaving this...

    Grab a loaf and then pop down to your local John Lewis.

    Pot noodle

    The Doner Kebab pot noodle is surprisingly good. I eat them too often because my work is all over the place.

    Lost Bitcoins Man is still trying

    Or he digs up the wrong hard drive and discovers a functioning copy of OS2 warp.

    Lost Bitcoins Man is still trying

    The annoying bit is. Even though his claim is probably baseless the council have to counter it. If he were to take them to court it could end up costing them millions and has already probably cost thousands.

    'Spec' me an optician

    As others have said. If you find a good optician stick with them. I went to spec savers and they must have got something right. Cos I'm still using the same prescription 12 years later. I usually get my glasses from Select specs because I'm a peasant.

    Anyone know anything about vans (for partial conversion to camper?)

    It's a bigger issue with vans. The charges are often higher and some cities (eg Bath) don't have ULEZ for cars but do we commercial vehicles.
