I agree with the above that the Sunday 7-8:00 pm window is the best time to finish an auction. But check the tele papers in case any popular tv series is on, or coming to an end whatever time you pick. I had a seller blubbing that I won an item way too cheaply because the last Downton was on...
It looks like the fire started at the rear of the vehicle in front and traveled back. I wonder where that bottle ended up, that shoots off to our right at 2:52?
Starting the conversation with an argument gives you the upper hand. When they call me and say 'is that Mr....?' (they always seem to know your name don't they?) I just say no it isn't. You can usually spot them as soon as you answer so be ready. I sometimes wish I had a recording setup of some...
Thanks for the replies, I use leg calipers for most measuring needs but once in while better accuracy is needed.
I don't know why I thought a dial was necessary? (it's been years since I used one in anger) My initial investigations returned that option in most instances. Following...
Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a dial vernier caliper as I'm not familiar with makes or brands? It'll be mostly used for wood work/turning, so super-duper accuracy is not critically important. I need one with inside and outside jaws. And with a depth gauge rod if possible. I'm not so keen on...
I've had no problems since I started using this: http://www.linuxmint.com/
Not so much as a sneeze compared to the coughing and spluttering I get from the MS offering.
I have it installed next to windoze and can boot to either at start up. What price peace of mind? Well, it's free. :D
I still use my trusty slide rule for solving dead hard sums. Those of you old enough might remember the days before electronic calculators came in. Well, you can relive them here:
Choose your weapons
Dead hard sums
The examples are fairly simple but give an idea how a slide rule works.
N.B...
Just tell them you charge £5.00/min to take unsolicited phone calls, and demand their credit card details and three digit security number before you will proceed. If they start to argue say that'll cost £10.00/min.
It throws them completely.
If you need some inspiration Look no further.
I bought my current pc from them. About four years ago now. No problems so far.
They have grown a lot since then and I've heard their customer support isn't up to the standard it once was. They sometimes struggle to keep up with demand and orders can fall behind.
Otherwise you pays your money...
The listing for the record breaking one is still up.

Ludicrous amount paid for it. Correction: £968.56
^Funny! :laughing:
In the world of slide rule collecting these are the top of the tree.
They are not worth anything like what people are prepared to pay so it can take pride of place in their collection. It's a must have if you're serious though.
The market might have cooled down from the...
I thought that at first. But a quick check shows the domain has been registered for a long time.
There is an accidentclaims.com which is nothing to do with them.
I hope it isn't some kind of elaborate joke. It would ruin my year.
