New series of the brilliant Paris-set French cop show, starting tonight on BBC4 at 9pm. One the advantages of being utterly skint in January is that one has the perfect excuse not to go out on a Saturday night and stay in and watch quality subtitled...

Since upgrading from Maverick to Yosemite on my MacBook Pro when I leave the laptop with the lid closed for a while and come back to it I find the internet connection has dropped out and I can only recover it by restarting the laptop. Has...
Standardised European Rules of the Air (SERA) The UK implementation of significant elements of the European Union’s Standardised European Rules of the Air (SERA) has been delayed. As a result, there will be no changes to the UK Rules of the Air stemming from SERA that will impact UK pilots.

SERA will replace most, but not all, of the UK Rules of the Air Regulations and...
A minor the joy of returning to England has been the ability to buy items of low value from Amazon without the postage making the purchase uneconomical. At present I can buy a £2.00 item from China or Hong Kong with postage included . A mere 3 weeks later a tatty jiffy bag will be carried up the stairs to my flat - ending a migration an Arctic Tern would envy. It will not be alone. There is an international agency (UPU?) overseeing postal agreements. I don't believe there is much balancing...
I am delighted to have been given the gift of Russian caviar by some friends. I love caviar! However, given the trip from Russia to Valhalla, the jar has not been kept refrigerated and was certainly at room temperature when received. All the advice...
Reading some quite heated posts here lately I started to ponder our relationships with Naim. There seems to be a few feeling like unrequited lovers amidst our ranks. I've been shocked by one or two who I had considered to be blindly infatuated with...
Hi, I'm going to show my ignorance of electronics here - perhaps someone can enlighten me? I want to fit a timer to an electric heater in my bathroom - similar to those used to control immersion heaters. I've found one that comes in 2 versions, either...

I was in the market for the new LG OLED, but even at 2000 GBP I was put off by the price. Instead I purchased one of the last Samsung Plasmas. at a fraction of the price. Months later, I am very happy with the picture quality and the...

From Thompsons in Worcester ... £9.99 secured me a little two bar 400/800 Watt incandescent fire. The old one burned out in the last fortnight. First one bar and then the next ... I am sure that I remain one of the last big spenders in our time of economic splendour! ATB from George
Early odds have it as a pick 'em. So who do you favor? The veteran experience of this squad..... ... or the youthful exuberance of these boys?
Does anyone have problems with their Optical cables having a loose fitting in the optical output on their Sky + HD box's? My optical goes in, but doesn't click in and if touched falls out of the socket. Are all optical cables like this or do...
