I run a fairly old XTR triple on my Moots MTB, a groupset that has been swapped over a succession of bikes for years with just new cables every season and the occasional BB.   It really is wearing out now and the shifters are starting to...

We placed our regular order last week with Ocado. When it arrived yesterday I was mortified to find that one of the mini easy peelers was rotten, and leaking juice all over the others. I had been looking forward to a complete shopping delivery, but on...

I use the photobucket iPad app to post pictures on the Forum. But a few minutes ago it's started to paste something about upgrading! rather than the picture. Has anyone else had this? Can I get around it? I like the app, as it's really easy to use.

I'm much saddened to read of Tom Graveney's death.  He was a true class batsman and the most stylish and elegant player I've ever seen.  He never seemed to be hurried - the sign of a very talented cricketer.  He could make the fastest...

Secret sources say Naim was very close to building an LP12-beater with Aro-2, but decided it against it.  Naim felt just building a turntable better than the LP12 wouldn't make enough of a statement; they had to put them into the vehicle.  ...

I use Time Machine as you do and I also just copy whole folders to a mobile hard drive every two weeks or so, but I wanted to start using a second back up system that might make that simpler and one that is frankly easier to find my way...
