It doesn't have to be about women being not fear inducing, which I agree was never an issue. The lack of men in schools is also a lack of positive male role models. In an age of broken marriages an increasing number of children don't live with their father. The internet only seems to supply boys...

Thank you all for your assistance it is much appreciated. I have taken your advice regards to PSU, SSD and Windows Key and stuck with @Tetras suggestion for everything else. As I don't stay current with PC's these days the way I may have done 10 or more years ago I would have been quite lost...

Point taken about the PSU. Used a quick calculator which estimates approx 550W needed so was going to apply an engineers caution and go for 750W. Any brands to avoid? I'd need to have a good look I seem to think it's a Phenom @ 3GHz. I'll need to check thoroughly when I get home. I mostly use a...

@tamzzy The PSU is from 2009 it's a Corsair but exact make and model I'll need to check. I seem to remember it has a modular design and I have the spare cables somewhere. The 2 TB hard drive is probably 7 or 8 years old and is my bulk drive but is by and large backed up to my NAS. The case is...

Thanks for that, I had to look up QLC and TLC but wouldn't have thought to ask.

Thanks for the advice on the SSD. I was extending budget to buy Windows Key so if cheaper options exist, I'd probably reduce budget. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Do you think it will be ok to drill a hole in the corner to tie the string?

I've put the following basket together and close to pressing the button. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/microsoft-windows-11-home-64-bit-dvd-oem-kw9-00632-sw-18j-ms.html https://www.overclockers.co.uk/amd-ryzen-5-7600-six-core-5.10ghz-socket-am5-processor-retail-cp-3dw-am.html...

Happy St George's Day

You've put an idea in my head, I want a pocket watch now :-D

We have the same concerns ours have Amazon Fire for Kids and we keep the time limit quite tight but I do worry as they go to secondary school they'll feel pressure for smartphones because everyone else has one. Currently they have Nokia dumb phones which we only give them when we go out so they...

I guess the issue there is tastes and styles move on. Blues Brothers was widely considered epic and cult during the 90's when I was growing up. I haven't watched it in a while but tastes change. TV shows have changed in structure massively over the last 30 years. Compare Star Trek TNG to Deep...

We bought the Artisan Naturals Super King and it is a very comfortable mattress. I would say in the height of summer though it is a very insulating mattress and I often find I'm hot underneath when sleeping under just a sheet. I would absolutely buy from them again. edit: and it is ridiculously...

I can remember going to Radio Rentals with my dad in the very early eighties to choose a new telly.

Is a phone contract hire purchase or just a credit agreement? Typically the only thing I take a loan out to purchase if a new mobile phone every 4 or 5 years via 48 month contract with my network provider. Everything else I work on the approach I've either got the money or I can't afford it.

I'm enjoying this more as it goes on. The first episode annoyed me and took me several goes to get through but found it easier and more enjoyable as it has progressed. I'm happy the reviews are good as I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.

We did it but I regret it. Did a some damage to ridge tile mortar in lots of places and has given us all sorts of issues. We thought we had selected a decent contractor but you live and learn.

This typically happens in our freezer when the wife has overfilled it and the door doesn't shut properly and you don't notice.

It’s well made but I really didn’t enjoy episode 1, it was just too grim, I just didn’t like the story they seem to be trying to tell. I’ll give it another episode see how it develops.

Brushless tools last longer as there are no contact parts for the rotating electrical parts. I probably wouldn't buy anything other than brushless these days for hand power tools.
