I am planning a trip with the family (2+2) to London in February, can anybody recommend a decent B&B?

If anyone else uses one of these, I've just noticed that the Dec 05 Firmware update (ver 1.29J) includes a video player, but not on the EU update, and it isn't on the latest 1.30 update. So if like me you missed it, just go into the website and make...
Someone suggested that we get a running thread going in the Padded Cell for all the Ebay scams. I thought I would start it running and see if it takes off. Lets give it a go.One idea would be for us to use it as a record of the pictures and / or...
A new scam method here not nearly so obvious.Look at the supposed sellers other items.All these items have been completely revised, including title and pics. Different location to supposed seller. Last night most of sellers items were childrens items...
OK, who out htere also can't get enough sleep? I either can't get to sleep or wake at absurd hours in the morning. I'm talking 4 maybe 5 AM on a good night and I go to bed tired at about 10-11. I read two books on sleep problems, Counting Sheep and...

I'm not here to dictate what someone should listen to, but I really cannot understand why people here spend a fortune on a Naim system to listen to metal, reggae, punk...Invariably, you see a later post about not being able to reproduce Metallica or...

Hi,Does anyone have any experience of swapping to pellets or (more interesting from my point of view) some form of heat pump? This has cropped up a couple of times in conversation with friends/family. What do such systems cost, what tax breaks or...
