Doing a project at home and want some custom vinyl indoor wall stickers - just wondered if anyone on here does that kind of thing before I search elsewhere.  I'd rather give the (small) business to one of us

Thanks

Looking to switch our company mobiles over the next few months from the dreaded BT to anyone who is even a tiny bit more competent.

Just wondered if anyone on the site does that sort of thing - would rather give the business to a real person (and someone I could get hold of if there's a problem...)!

If not, who are your company mobiles with and are they any good?

Colleagues want to take a couple of clients out to lunch (was supposed to be a December 'thank you' which has dragged on!) - can you suggest anywhere business-y but still cool and hip?

I don't go to London, I'm not business-y, nor cool or hip so any suggestions at all would be appreciated.

(Yes, I'll look on Trip Advisor etc too, but there's nothing like a personal recommendation!)

Just done my annual St John Ambulance first aid refresher...the directions now are to remove a biker's helmet if they are non-responsive (you can't check their breathing or give them mouth-to-mouth without taking it off).  The emphasis (obviously) is to preserve life first - there's no point trying not to cause an injury if the person is going to die.

Thoughts?

I think my trusty Arlen Ness leathers are about 10 years old now, and I've had to cut the lining out because I couldn't get the bloody things on inside of an hour!

As a bloody poor person, I can't afford to buy new, and I can't see me getting to a bike show in the near future, so just wondered if anyone  has/has used/has crashed in Hein Gericke leathers (particularly the ladies), and how they do?  Large/small for the size?

Any help appreciated!

Whilst I'm in a nice rented place, I really want to own my own place, even if it's tiny.

Has anyone here successfully used the government's Help to Buy scheme, or knows anything about it?  I've looked on their website and have fallen at the first hurdle - there are two types and I don't really know what the difference is an what it would mean to me!

It's great that they're changing the way we pay for the Dartford tolls (taking away the tolls and introducing remote payment like the Congestion Charge) but I've got a suspicion that after a while they'll start charging bikes, because it's done on ANPR.

Anyone else thought that, or am I just being cynical?

Doing a leaflet drop for an exhibition and need to know how many leaflets to get printed.  Other than going on Royal Mail and doing it street by street, does anyone know of any websites which will give you numbers based on a radius?

Ta muchly!

Didn't want to post in the thread started by Flymo as this is a slightly different topic...slightly!

I've got an alarm on my bike, but it's faulty.  Asked a bike shop how much to fix and they quoted me about £300 which I don't have to spend on the bike for the time being!  As it stands, I have to leave the bike with only the immobiliser on over night when I'm away from home.

I know a lot of you on the other thread recommended chaining it up to the hilt, but for some reason I hate the idea of not even being woken up if someone tries to nick my bike - I'd at least like to get a look at them or have time to ram them off the road...  Also, the other place I stay at often doesn't have anything for me to chain it to.

Are there any more alternatives out there?  Someone in another thread mentioned a motion sensor text alert thingy?  Anything else out there?

I'll save up the money to get it looked at eventually...but I do wonder if these kinds of glitches can ever be resolved.

Thoughts?

Saw one at the bike show...any thoughts?

If anyone's got a set of bike to bike comms laying around which they don't use and don't want £300 for, do let me know!

Thanks

Hi all

Does anyone know if you need a special type of thermometer to test water temperatures or will any one do?  Don't really want to fork out £80-£150 quid on kits etc if a £25 one will do!

Hi all

We need to monitor certain web pages for changes to text/links etc - does anyone have any recommendations?

I'm trialling one at the moment which is okay (from Aignes.com) but I can't get the settings right to email me when there are changes, and it only works when the program is open on my machine (obviously).

I guess we need one which is web-based, which can email as soon as changes are made.  Also needs to be able to run macros (for when certain pages need logins and searches done).

Any recommendations would be appreciated, ta.

Great bloody idea!  If it wasn't hard enough, now the limit is £2.50 on the nose!

What do I get?!?!

1) I'm looking for one of these for a colleague:



When I type in 'copy holder' or 'document holder' I get things like this:



What are the top ones called?!  If I want to order 100 branded ones there are websites for that, but just ordering 1 for the office is proving difficult because I don't know the proper name for them!

2) Need to find some software which tells you about changes/updates to web pages.  Preferably not one which bombards you with advertising (don't mind paying for something good).  Does anyone have any recommendations?

We're a small office and don't have an awful lot of equipment and to be honest, even though it's not my money, I don't want the company to be screwed over when it comes to PAT testing.

According to the HSE website, not all equipment needs to be PAT tested yearly.  Most people think you do, and a lot of electricians would let you.  As far as I can see, you don't have to test new equipment, and with some 'low risk' items, you can only have them tested 5-yearly, for example.  They say a visual inspection by a competent member of staff can be sufficient.  Is it sufficient to download a 'visual inspection' guide and follow that?

We've got the usual - computers, printers, microwave and fridges.  The 'worst' items we have I think are the laptops (they get moved a lot), the extension leads (plugging/unplugging of items), and the routers/switches etc (on all the time).

Does anyone here know for certain what's sufficient (not just googling it like I did)?

Thanks for any help...
