Any progress reports Nick? We're all on 'hooks here!

You might need to narrow it down a bit ...!

So where is the third live for the "loop" - you need a permanent live to the switch as well, but i can only see three reds in total, one of which doesn't go anywhere!

OK, so there were c. 16,000 total deaths in the UK (or it might be England and Wales) in the week ending 3rd April, which they say is a record week (records only began in 2005, mind you). The previous high was in January 2015, which was a particularly bad year for seasonal flu (despite no active...

You can't make that claim without knowing the number of "total cases", and it would appear that the US are testing far more than UK,. We will likely never know the true case fatality rate UNLESS we test the entire population for antibodies in a couple of months' time. And i'm not sure anyone can...

While on the subject of "Millionaire" (weren't we?!), watched the Celebrity episode from Sunday night, and just wanted to mention how gorgeous i think Charlotte Church is, having come through some very tough times a while back. Lovely to look at, and an inner beauty and kindness, it seems.

Boooooooo! Will you tell us the answer though??

That connector block at 12 o'clock is bothering me! You normally put all three live wires into a common connector, or there will be a break in the circuit - either the next light in the ring or the switch for this light will have lost its supply. But equally, why does the bare wire seem to pass...

Ah, ok - think i might have it, but it is confused a bit by the angle of the photo and the fact that one of the cables is masked by the metal mount-thingy, so it is actually quite standard (though made complicated by note using a standard ceiling rose arrangement . There are TWO black wires...

An electrical screwdriver is cheaper than a multimeter! Provided the black isn't live you should be ok taking that to the N terminal.

1. Get a short length of twin-core-and-earth cable and prepare the ends. 2. IN GENERAL ... you would run the brown cable from the connector block containing the RED wire to the L terminal on your light fitting. 3. Run the blue cable from the BLACK connector block to the N terminal on your...

Incidentally @shmmeee regarding your earlier post, during the Blair years, i voted LibDem - their policies were far more Socialist (and, it could be argued, left-wing!)

I had to turn off last night, when he started saying in his patronising soft voice "it was me who saw what was happening in China. I saw it coming - ME. So i shut down transport from China". The bloke is a clown, and the likes of Fauci et al are too scared to lose their job to say anything that...

A lot of the issues with the funding of NHS comes down to having the enormous millstone of debt known as PFI, where they are having to pay over the odds for privately- and shoddily-built premises (which was a scheme introduced under Blair). The NHS is still a VERY "flabby" organisation, not...

Quiz was OK last night, but a lot of the acting was pretty "hammy". Michael Sheen brilliant in his characterisation of Tarrant, as he always his in his roles. We then watched the Youtube video of the original episode of "Millionaire". No spoilers but what they did was pretty blatantly audible!!

As heralded previously, the missus has just given me a scissor cut on top and various grades of clipper on back and sides. Not at all bad - first time in ages that i've had mine done by someone other than a Kurdish refugee - well i don't THINK she is ...!

Yeah, she'll look nice like that!

I'm suddenly getting bombarded with spam about various cryptocurrencies, and i have no idea why! Will never invest in them in a million years! But thanks for bumping this thread - read the first 30 posts before noticing the date was over 2 years ago!

Mine grows like a very thick thatch on top, and gets out of hand quite quickly. Normally have a #4 on the back and sides, blended into a scissor cut and thinning shears on top. My missus cut my hair once (about 10 years ago) - neither of us can remember why - and did an alright job, IIRC. Might...

For the record, BBC News says TBT died WITH coronavirus. They are very careful in their wording at the moment. In other words, he may have tested positive, but it's not necessarily the direct cause of his death. It's very sad no matter what.
