Or you have a leak on your piping after the meter. Turn stop cock off in house and see if meter is still moving.

Something left this over the weekend, whilst they were eating all my carefully grown lawn mushrooms....

Wanted something colourfull and "cow'ish" and "thought of the day'ish" for my daughters bathroom, as she likes cows. So my attempts with AI picture creation. I think it is really good, with a happy message.

These specimens I was carefully culturing, by emptying fish tank water over, have been scoffed this morning. Along with this one.

I too often have poo parked on my front lawn, usually after all the mushrooms popping up have been scoffed during the night. Not sure, but I think it is deer, certainly not cat or dog, as is very green inside, and not majorly stinky. Identify poo | The Wildlife Trusts

I know someone who used one of these to keep their potted plants watered. I think you place a "drip head" on a spike in your plant pot and attach it to the pipe where the drip head makes a hole in the pipe to let the water out. Controller lets water flow as programmed. 20 Pot Watering Kit |...

If you have 4G phone coverage, which a lot of fungi places don't eg New Forest, then this web site is good: Edible Mushrooms... It has photo's of cap, gills, stem, skirts (bit left on stem when cap opens), flesh (cut in half), spore prints, smell, taste (break the cap, taste the "milk"...

Destroying Angel, found by me on a "fungi identification" course in New Forest at the weekend. Course organiser took it away to prevent " fatal accidents". Rather large Porcelain Fungi. Panther cap. (Amanita pantherina). Don't eat. All know what this is. Used to be eaten quite a lot...

Me out yesterday, in the woods near my house.

Absolute waste of time. Far too small for anything fish wise. Handy to recharge phone(s) & tablet(s).....err and that's about it. Only 576Wh. :rolleyes:. This energy is only equivalent to 1/16 of a litre of petrol !!!. (9.7kWh/l / 0.576kWh -> 16'th'ish). So @ 40W for a filter this battery...

Same with BT here, don't use their router. I use a Draytek 2762 with a Draytek WiFi repeater, work 100%. Generally in my experience intermittent connectivity issues are due to cabling issues either in your house or in the road. I rewired the phone connection in my house so that the incoming...

This is how my three pumps pipes are terminated. Macro, micro and liquid carbon, no problems.

How does that work when it is feet deep in water like in 2014 ? The fish in world of water "escaped" during the floods...

Make something like this, never have to heat/mix and lift water buckets again. DIY Project - Water change heater project.

It's a chest of drawers....

And here is someone taking table & epoxy resin to the next extreme....

You fit a solvent weld 21.5mm overflow pipe to 32mm waste adapter which then takes a solvent weld 32mm end cap. This is what I did with my overflow pipes when the toilet suite was changed. Before this I just taped up with aluminium tape, but not so tidy.

Also if you heat the room, rather than the tanks you can obviously heat using the 1/4 the cost gas fired central heating system, if you have one.

No you don't have a heater in each tank, that would be completely silly, cost a lot and be extremely difficult to wire up safely. As you are probably not having a filter per tank (I assume) and will probably have a "monster" filtration system somewhere (especially with discus :rolleyes:) you...

Every year around this time, my front lawn grows some quite impressive mushrooms, mainly in the area I dump my weekly fish tank area. Some of these are over 4 inches across.

I use Windows defender at home, not had any issues, just works. Equivalent Windows Security Essentials on my Windows server. At work we use Eset, which works well. Blocks dodgy email attachments and dodgy websites (normally dodgy automatic downloads from WebAd's, coin miner type things). Also...

I have a set of calipers like yours with battery compartment taped down as well. Eats batteries like no tomorrow, especially if left in but powered off, and watch out as just slightly before battery does actually run out goes into a strange mode of giving erroneous reading !!!!.

My son has had problems like this and answer is less than fifteen and greater than 1, 1 < X < 15. The greater than 1 comes about due to "How many marbles does Janelle have left?" of which zero is not a valid answer.

We have been using PCMover from Laplink a couple of times at work. Tad expensive at £45 a go for Pro version, but the time saving and lack of a**sing around afterwards is a absolute no brainer cost/time wise. Moves programmes & all user settings to a new PC. We upgraded a 32GB storage...

I have updated 100's machines from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and then the various updates to Windows 10 versions. All were successful in the end, but biggest issues I found were: - Display driver issues causing display driver to crash/not start after update. Easy, uninstall driver before upgrade...

Notice my post #4 has been converted to UKAPS hosting from Photobucket. Nice.:D Just added another http link, I assume that will be converted sometime. Edit - 22nd July - 2nd Photobucket kink has been converted to UKAPS hosted. Yet again NICE. :D

Http tag to photobucket still works ?

Ours have "file and print sharing" off so no port 445 and no smbv1. Most Win 7 images I build I unbind smbv1 as not really needed.

You guys also forget the "big boy" software IT use to manage Windows PC's, namely SCCM (System Centre Configuration Manager). It make managing 100's if not 1000's of Windows PC's easy. Not cheap but does the job. Need to see why a user is having issue, right click in SCCM console, Start ...

I use Windows defender on all my home PC's including my home server. Works fine and has stopped quite a few email born attachments getting in (and out) of Outlook. At work a different matter. The IT people who manage(d) our PC's use Bitdefender but us developers (software and OS building) use...

Ta, thanks for the link. All fine here a mixture of Win7 and Win 10 machines and servers. All our XP machines and a Windows 98 machine and a server 2003 machine are on a non internet connected network segment and all but one have been patched (obviously not 98). Interestingly the embedded...

Nice.

When I have moved my tank, I left on the stand didn't want to risk breaking the bottom of the tank. Remove (and keep) as much water as you can, remove as much equipment from stand/tank as you can and slide stand & tank to new position.

Yes we got blown right out of the EU it was that bad.

I think one of the issues is that a couple of the "free" image hosting websites have either gone or moved to pay only, thus links no longer go to the original images. I know I lost all my links on imageshack.us when it moved to pay only. There was an upgrade to the forum to allow inline images...

You can see the darker green semicircle which is as far as my hosepipe reaches out of the window. Photo is quite poor, very much clearer in real life. Must get a longer hose so rest of lawn can benefit.

My local Southampton Aquajardin sell ADA stuff, soil pipes & ferts. Tanks on order only. And in shop only.

Aquajardan at Southampton is my favourite. Other shops I have bought from in local area, have given my tank ich and snails and fish that don't last long....

Tank labelling with maximum size the fish grow too. Bought too many fish, in my time, that start small and soon outgrow the tank.

To be honest, regardless of the floor, just putting a blanket/sheet down whilst tank fiddling and this will protect the floor extremely well. If you have an "accident" just change the cloth, so floor is not exposed to moisture too long. If you are going to have a major spillage as bad as this...

Of course you have the issue of moving the tank whilst the floor is fitted....and moving back. I got the floor fitters to start laying the solid oak floor under the tank area first so the glue had 3-4 days to dry. I emptied the tank into 40l tubs (£3 Asda) to get water as low as I dared, with...

The other thing with floating laminate floors (which luckily you say yours won't be) is a heavy object ie tank/bookcase can prevent the floor moving and collapse the foam underlay. My mate moved into a house with laminate floor (hated it as slippery) and he plonked a large full bookcase at one...

Yes, write off if really bad, but really depends on what the layer under the top surface is made of. Cheaper engineered wood floors are hardwood layer on top of MDF, the MDF just soaks up water like a sponge and expands, this would be the worst type, however may recover after a week or two (or...

You screed concrete to get it flat, and put ply board over the floor boards, to match the screed level. List of here of sub floor types and flooring types. http://www.fitmywoodfloor.co.uk/sub-floor-preparation/

Well I just Googled to why some floors are glued direct and other floating. Well it appears sold wood floors should be glued to the floor as they have a higher expansion and if laid floating will have a tendency to "move", unlike engineered boards, which expand less and can be laid floating (or...

My downstairs is solid oak glued concrete and I have a 180l tank parked on it, no problem. This is the more modern better way to do solid wood floors, thought not sure engineered boards can be glued as they still expand and thus need to float, though if you say can glue them then I assume OK...

Is not milk in European (except UK) countries fortified with vitamin D ? So you don't need extra vitamin D ?

Just plop a pot or pots of garden soil in the tank, and leave. Will supply enough bacteria to get things going. Remove pots when ready to plant or add fish.

Ok well spotted. Just need to change the plug to 13A UK...done. I paid £149 from zooplus.co.uk in Feb 2012, came with German plug and 13A adapter, which together is quite large and has fitting next to other plugs in a 4 way extension block, so I just cut it off and put UK 13A plug on.

Good price, but watch out, you may get clobbered for P&P from Germany and sometimes import duty (6% ?) and import duty handling charges (£10-£20).

480 pumps in this one....

Easy for some of use with a wireless remote for all 6 timers. Just change time on remote, whilst sitting on sofa....Done.

Reading the above has jogged my memory why you can't use stainless as it is attacked by chloride produced during electrolysis and contaminates the water, which is why titanium/platinum/rhenium etc is used. Also explains why current reversal is needed. Maybe the Twinstar is actually producing...

Not convinced the DIY people are getting 100% right after reading the Czech site. Though who knows what "right" is. 1. The Twinstar mesh is most likely platinum coated titanium. This is freely available in industry as a catalyst...

Result. But all seems mighty suspicious that they so easily accepted the lights back with no quibble...Good luck on postage.

I would have gone to collect at that price. However collect in person can work against the seller, as my mate tried to flog his old laptop, Ebay buyer paid in advance, buyer turned up then decided that the 14" screen was too small and wasn't for him, refused to take it away, filed a non...

Interesting they accepted it back so quickly, no quibble, no "did you reset the controller", no "have you turned on all lights", no help in helping you debug your problem...almost as if they knew there would be an issue ????

This is the text that really belongs to the picture... Research has shown that young children cannot identify the intimate couple because they do not have prior memory associated with such scenario. What they will see are the nine dolphins. Additional note: This is a test to determine if...

Children see dolphins....adults don't see dolphins....

I kept a spreadsheet of running costs, but when it got to near £1000 I deleted the file so it could never be found and be used against me.

With our dog always peeing on same spot, put out string on posts to force weeing elsewhere and use iron sulphate and/or ammonium sulphate to neutralise the wee to allow grass to grow back.

My mate cancelled his Xbox One pre-order, as he is not really convinced that this is the way forward as an all in one home entertainment console, for use with the family TV. He has both PS3 and Xbox 360, but neither these are located in the lounge by the family TV, both are in the "play" room...

Nope, taken on by a company to do a programming job that took ages and ages to never arrive !!!

I was once underworked and overpaid.....not good...being bored most of the day was certainly not worth the money...

Seeing a lot of Windows phones appearing here at work. The Lumia 520 is/was available at Carphonewarehouse for £7 a month and free phone. For an 8GB phone and SD card support a bargain. Just works. There is a Lumia 1020 here as well (@£41 a month :eek:) with a wonderful 41M pixel camera, that...

Wowwww I have only had 4 cars in 31 years since taking my test....

Any pictures...?

No longer necessary...all changed due to "user feedback". BBC News - Microsoft U-turn in Xbox One games row Of course, gain some loose some, also dropped is that you can no longer trade in your downloaded games. Can't see why things need to be 100% connected, except for multiplayer gaming...

Got sun burnt, down South, digging the garden over. Now p****Ing with rain Tuesday morn, just the weather for cycling to work NOT.

Start button easily rectified Get the Start menu back with Start8™! for $4.99. I am using it at the moment at work.

Latest resin casting.

Casting things in resin. Motorola 68040 chip Some ball bearings. Found in Xmas box in loft.

I would have thought the "glare" from the tank below the TV as well as movement below the TV (fish swimming, plants wafting) would be a major distraction when watching TV. I have a 8" digital picture frame below the TV and that can be distracting ie the movement when the picture changes.

And if like me you like keep on continuing to "dump" stuff on your rather small solid state disk C: (on PC), 250GB in my case, just use the "MKLINK" with /J to create a directory link to your non SSD drive ie "mklink /j c:\download d:\download" then all the stuff in c:\download is mapped to...

for his commission...:D

I have just today received my Royal Mail compensation cheque for an Ebay camera I sold at beginning of December. Luckily it was posted as signed for but never arrived. Someone didn't get a camera for Xmas and I lost £40 for 3 months!

One of the other things I like about Aquajardin is their fish are well labelled. Easy to read suitability with other fish and MAXIMUM size they are likely to grow on all their labels. Been in numerous times to buy more fish, but read that maximum size is 20cm and that was the end of that idea...

I am near Eastleigh near Southampton, kept tropical fish for over 10 years now. Best shop and I have found is Aquajardin (Allington Lane, Eastliegh) who seem to have best quality fish, clean tanks, usually a very good planted tank, very good quality plants, supplies of high tech plants and...

Lost TV via satellite on Friday....due to disk and LNB support arm being buried in a quite an amazing snow sculpture. Was not looking forward to getting to dish via ladder on icy drive on Saturday morning, but in the end most snow fallen off by morning, signal levels low, but by Saturday...

The other thing is I can stick £15k in building sociecty @ 4% for 10 years (probably get more if I searched) and get £22.2K back, that's £720/year return, greater than my mates return on his panels. :mrgreen: Oh and still have the £15K left at the end of 10 years.

This is why you should get panels fitted to your house on a maintenance contract. A mate near me spent £13k+ on his panels + £100/year maintenance (I think) and they have been out a couple of times to fix things. Once was due to incorrect wiring during installation causing the controller to...

I investigated a wind turbine for a club cottage in Wales many years ago, at request of some members. If I remember right, issues were - Needs to be large to generate any decent amount of electricity, we were looking for 3-10KW and cost about £15K. - Large means substantial cost. - Large means...
