    Netbook Windows XP install

    This to be quite honest, easier and more reliable.

    Install win7 on second HDD?

    It would probably be better to install on your working PC, install all your software and configure it the way you want and either image or clone it to another HDD. You do not need two licenses for that provided you do not install the second HDD in another PC. You could use Acronis True Image it...

    Virgin Media - Install

    When I had a second box installed they ran the cable up an outside wall behind a downpipe, through the roofspace and down the opposite wall and into the room. Excellent job, very neat and tidy.

    Better remove the swearie in the quote you posted.

    Windows 7 Licencing question

    This. It had me stumped the first time I came across it. I believe it is because the license numbers wear off the stickers that MS use so Dell decided to put them in the battery compartment. Also I believe that it is F11+ Ctrl on startup to access the recovery partition.

    Vigilante launching paedophile naming website

    Quite true Paedophilia is the sexual attraction to pre-pubescent children which in and of itself is not a crime. Acting upon the impulse certainly is though.

    I hate insurance claims

    Good result Well done, but I would still report your experience to the ins company as the more complaints they get about Ival may serve to gee them up a bit.

    Need Help With Selling My PC

    I must say that I do not know for sure but browsing the MM quite often one would see "2 years of 3 year warranty remaining" Also I have seen on the MM buyers asking for the original receipt to be sent with the item.

    Need Help With Selling My PC

    I would suggest you ask the buyer to contact you if anything goes wrong in the warranty period and then you can sort it directly with OcUK

    I second this. They are very good and approachable.

    Employer requesting personal details.

    The person coming into contact with children or vulnerable adults must be checked but not family members. The only circumstances I can can envisage is that if all employees are being positively vetted, a highly unlikely scenario.

    Employer requesting personal details.

    Is it legal, short answer is I do not believe it is mandatory for you or any other family member to give this information except in very clearly defined circumstances. As for the threat, has the company never heard of constructive dismissal?

    I hate insurance claims

    I had to get back to the insurance company themselves and tell them how dissatisfied I was with Ival. That did seem to speed the process up a little so maybe you could do that.

    I hate insurance claims

    Its not Aviva but Ival that is the problem here. We had an awful experience with them a couple of years ago, took about 5 month's to sort it all out.

    Moral / Legal Dilema

    Explain to the hotel that you believe you have been undercharged. Just because it is a large organisation does not make it OK to steal from them, even because it was their mistake.

    Remembrance Day "We Will Remember Them"

    I would like to think that you would honour the sacrifice made by all of our armed forces and attached civilians in all conflicts that gave their lives and health rather than discriminate on a political basis.

    Inappropriate jokes / moments in life

    Once went out to a job and asked the client, who was about 25, "perhaps your Mum would know". It turned out to be his wife. They were both overweight, the wife very much so, that may have contributed to my faux pas. Oh dear oh dear was I embarrassed.
