    Is this a good deal?

    Ah right you are! Just read a bit more about it and that was indeed what I had in mind.

    Is this a good deal?

    Just to point out it's 6.7% representative, not 6.7% APR. Unless I'm mistaken, this means that the actual APR is higher than 6.7%, but they average the total amount of interest paid divided by the number of years and amount of credit and come to 6.7%

    Electrical question

    Yes, you will just need an adapter for the socket but otherwise it will work fine.

    risistor Before/After LED

    The LED will have a voltage drop, typically around 2V. If you had a 5V supply with your resistor and LED connected, you will always have your 2V dropped across the LED. The remaining 3V will be dropped across the resistor, regardless of the value. This allows you to change the resistor value to...

    Anyone climbed Snowdon?

    Last time I went, we climbed up the miners path. There is a hostel at the bottom but that was booked up. We stayed in the Snowdon Ranger, which was about 30 mins drive away. There were 4 of us and we booked a room for £66. I think breakfast was another £5 per person (may have been less)...

    So adverts can lie now?

    Technically, they are correct, it's just that windows displays the size in GiB. Which is smaller than the value in GB. It is annoying though!

    Help other drivers?

    If someone coming the opposite way has a headlight out, I'll give them a couple of flashes, providing the road is quiet and there aren't people waiting to pull out of side roads or anything. I don't bother when I'm behind someone though, but I've not see anything serious yet.

    International Space Station passing over SOON!

    I managed :o I must have been looking in the wrong direction, I was outside for about 10 minutes and saw nothing :( There's always tomorrow if the sky is clear :)

    Legit?

    My rule of thumb is if there isn't a phone number on that page somewhere then it's probably a dodgy site. I may make an exception if there is a number on the contact page, but it should be very easy to find.

    Travel insurance suggestions with a proviso!

    Have you had a look at protect your bubble? http://uk.protectyourbubble.com/travel-insurance/ Looking in the T&Cs, I can't see anything about being in the UK at the time of purchase - You do have to have had your main home as within the UK for the last 6 months though. Mine's due to...

    Lottery thread mk v7 :p

    True, I must admit after the last couple of these threads I have bought myself a ticket :D I know the odds are so small, but it's such a life changing amount of money. Count me in anyway.

    Getting an out of warranty repair under the Sale of Goods act.

    Well I have been weighing up the other options, I did consider putting the phone on ebay, I've seen some go for ~£100 when stuck in recovery mode, add that to the fee apple wanted for a new phone and she'd have £240 to get something new. She did quite like her phone so I think she'd probably...

    Getting an out of warranty repair under the Sale of Goods act.

    Do the reports have a specific name? Could you recommend any company to go to? I wouldn't know where to start looking for someone to do this. I'm going to have a go phoning them up on Monday although I'm not too optimistic that I will get anywhere with that either. Rather annoyingly, they...

    Getting an out of warranty repair under the Sale of Goods act.

    I mentioned it as the sale of goods act only says that an item should last for a reasonable time, rather than any exact figures. I mentioned that as the phone is available on a 24 month contract I would expect the phone to last at least that long.

    Getting an out of warranty repair under the Sale of Goods act.

    Sorry I wasn't clear in the first post - the phone was bought outright for £440 with a pay as you go sim card.

    Getting an out of warranty repair under the Sale of Goods act.

    Do you know what the typical cost for these reports would be? I was hoping that Apple would have agreed to take the phone and have a look at it to determine the cause of the fault, and then take it from there. As it is though they didn't even take the phone out the box to look at it!

    Getting an out of warranty repair under the Sale of Goods act.

    Sorry if I wasn't too clear in the first post, the phone wasn't bought on a contract - it was bought outright. That was just the example I gave in the shop as to how long I'd expect it to last at a minimum. The phone was purchased from apple. I was given a technical support number as well...

    Getting an out of warranty repair under the Sale of Goods act.

    My girlfriend bought an iPhone 3gs just under 2 years ago and it has recently stopped working. I've tried restoring it on a few computers with no luck, and the install log mentions a problem with the modem. I tried taking the phone in to the store today and was told I'd need to pay £140 for a...
