Yes, 2 * 25 Amp in parallel will be fine Just resist the tempatation to use a cut down 6 inch nail - no pun intended N

I consider it acceptable practise to do a parallel run whilst you change from one bank to another. However, longer term it may attract unwanted attention! N

Bit harsh, I see your point to a degree, but dosn't your browser show you the link you're about to visit bottom left or somewhere in the window? If you use Sophos Home it will automatically block phishing attacks, websites that contain malware and viruses, and bad websites pretending to be legitimate.

Hi I use Santander Business Banking & have done for over 10 years now, no charges at all. I know they have had some bad press but its been very good for what I need & can't fault it. N

Hi, I know someone with a 181 who has to store it on its side because the flippy caps leak & its only 1-2 years old. The 241 is a fine saw but more money Look at Echo or Dolmar, the 420 is a nice little saw & when my MS250 goes, will be its replacement... N

& the moral is never build a shed in a spring?

Hmm, Unfortunately e-mail is fairly vulnerable to alls sorts of abuse, for example e-mails sent by estate agents/solicitors which get changed, redirecting funds to hackers account. Its no bad thing to consider reading mail in plain text as there are so many html & word macro expoits around & when a questionable e-mail arrives look at the full headers - there are also a few free trackers so you can trace the origin of the e-mail see where its really come from. Trace an e-mail back to its geographical location including spam filter being fairly good If in doubt delete & call them. Oh & +1 for two factor authentication Mailwasher Pro quite good for intercepting spam MailWasher Pro | Firetrust

OK, I see like a bearing so they can swing freely. Thanks Eggs I'll give that a go & report back, there is supposed to be an underground stream across our lower field so be an opportunity to try & find it. Yes, I heard it works for electric cables aswell N

Hmm, interesting must have a crack, put those wire coat hangers to good use... Strange how it works for some N

Hi Ive cut several Eucalyptus back to a stump or to a stick about 1.5m high & they will sprout lots of new vigourous growth. N

Hi Hope your injury gets better soon, Great pics by the way & excellent work, well done N

Hi Steve, Have tried to buy tickets but both mine & my wifes CC fails with an error - certain its to do with our address in France Is there any other way I can buy tickets, send a UK cheque? Noel

Hi, wishing you a speedy recovery & do all the things the docs recomend & make the most of what you have, your good friends & family are so important. Sorry to hear about your friend, 41 is so very young Noel

OK, to try & put web development into perspective in brief, is difficult - so how long is a piece of string? When I used to do this sort of stuff I'd speak to the client to obtain their requirements, usually the brief was fairly vague but Id get them to show me a site they liked & make it like that or similar. Id write the code ground up using text editor or my ancient version of DreamWeaver 4.1 well before Adobe got hold of it & ruined it. So that would produce fairly sleek efficient code that search engines like. This would maybe take me about an hour or two maximum for which Id charge £25 an hour so your six page site would cost £300 max, more like about £250 TBH. Then Web2 came along with moving banners, flashing stuff & all sorts of fancy graphics along with every kind of plugin security vulnerability (ie flash etc) you could think of which screwed things up, I know it looks so pretty but you can produce an entire website in about an hour or so but its full of junk that you dont see or need, dont get me wrong some of the sites look great & really deliver, but theres a lot of superflous stuff. Sites that are clean means even 5, 6, 7 or more years after development they still get P1 results in Google search. That brings the subject of SEO, all my pages would be optimised but some companies expect you to pay extra but why should you not have anything but search engine optimised code? So you have to strike a balance between what you want & what will get you business, people dont read acres of text, so just say what you need to, stick to relevent facts & keep your images the right size & meaningful & make sure your phone number is on the banner for every page as at some point, the client may make a 'buy decision' & wants to talk about it. On a more important point, did you get any flicks of madame très chère? Good luck N

Excellent victory in the church of the Druids!

Yes, also +1 from me Stubby. N

Oh, that changes everything - its a bargain!

Thats an outrageous price for 6 pages, I suspect that if you have a .fr domain they are also pricey, Costs are split two ways; domain hosting which starts at £1 a month but rises if site has more complicated requirements. I would say out of the £45 a month £40 is profit. Then the website development: In my experience most French companies are pretty naff, expensive or both but there must be some good ones, I would look at a site builder type product where you build it yourself & thus have more control over content, probably looking at £10 a month max N

Yes, I drop to 5.2 as chain wears & cut back a bit.

Its financial adslinger otherwise known as 'This is Money' is often a comedy of errors. I did think of aliasing the domain thisisntmoney.co.uk to them but probably have a well staffed legal department. N

Get your 461s while you can!

Looks a fair knock there even wearing a lid, I would consider replacing the helmet. N

& none from mine either, 365xt very good value 70cc saw, would imagine 372 Spudded is the mutts nuts. 461 nice but quite a bit more than a 365 & is 76.5cc

Just to clarify, Macs don't suffer from x86 coded viruses, because the code dosn't run. They can suffer from a few strains of malware & all computers are vulnerable to attacks through the browser, ie: MIM, MIB type scenarios. I advise everyone to use the NoScript plug-in, paticually if they bank on-line, it ups browser security considerably. There is also Malware that relies on the user to install it, but the default is set to a trusted signed developer although it is possible to over-ride this. This type of attack often uses social engineering - "install this viewer to see my..." (pron? etc) Im a strong believer that Mac users should use an Antivirus product, I use Sophos because its free & rather good https://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-edition.aspx this also includes content filtering of web sites & warning of possible attack sites - ie: Ad slingers on some sites are poorly controlled & recently used to install malware, which Sophos blocked. Its also a good thing to prevent any (otherwise) undetected viruses in e-mail being forwarded to PC using friends or family. Computer security, is a complex, constantly changing subject you can no-longer just install antivirus & forget about it. Controlling scripts in the browser, blocking tracking cookies with Ghostery & site content control are all needed. N
