    Tell your real ghost stories

    Not really a ghost story as it preceded a death but here you go and make what you will of it. In 1976 I was still living at home with my parents and I was woken one night by the sound of what I thought was someone sweeping the stairs with a small dustpan and brush - the old wooden type brush...

    Giving up smoking... an online diary.

    This is encouraging – seems there are a few of us giving up the smokes. I’m on day 8 with patches and find I’m fine until about 3 or 4 in the afternoon when I really, I mean really, could use a smoke. This lasts the whole evening right up to falling a sleep. The trouble then is staying...

    Opinions needed from experienced metal workers Re threaded fixings

    Pressed I would have thought as I have never encountered welded inserts before - pressed or screw in. Non screw in types, like PEMS etc, have a serated oversized base which once pressed in hold on like hell. There seems to be some witness marks though around the base of that fixing like it...

    CPU retainer broken

    Hi Wifes PC started shutting down soon after startup - took off the side and there is the cooler hanging half off. The tabs on one side of the retainer have snapped off. Its a socket 754 and I'm wondering if these are available to buy seperately. I did a quick google but got coolers with...

    Baldness

    I certainly wouldn’t go for a cure now. Perhaps maybe if one had been available when I started to thin out – dunno . I had long hair in my teens which got progressively shorter as my motorbikes got faster. It started to go when I was in my mid twenties and as I had always had a thing about not...

    Starting a business

    Adz is certainly right in what he states. Having an accountant from the start makes sense but if you were starting very small, sole trader on a fairly low input of time/money which is after your main work then maybe not straight away. However, as Adz says keep records – there are tons of useful...

    Looks or personality?

    I think most would say “looks” first off but then how many times have you seen a couple where one is drop dead gorgeous and the other has a face like a kick in the rocks? I know of a guy who was married to a very attractive woman who always looked good and took care of herself. He left her...

    Need a Case, Akasa Eclipse 62 Aluminium Case & Window?

    You won't go wrong with it IMO. I bought one and built a rig with it for a friend about 12 months ago and was very impressed with it. Every time I see or here of it I consider getting one for myself. Tons of room - you could use it as a spare bedroom :) In fact this post may well have...

    Why were cases back "then" beige??

    could have been as they were seen as business machines and tucked away or thought of like the fax or copier machine hanging around the office. I remember though that there were some variation in the Bieige and also I came across some old desktop cases from HP or similar that were light grey with...

    Ipod or guitar?

    If listenening to music gives you a buzz then playing it is a turn on - go for a guitar and make some noise :)

    Drinking with the old man

    Just to add a view from the other side of the fence, as a Dad I consider having my two son's as mates one of the best parts of my life. Both my wife and I come from familiees that were not close - maybe it helped us build stonger bonds with the kids I don't know. I don't drink much but we share...

    Akasa Eclipse 62 - Enermax Liberty 620W doesn't fit properly ?

    It won't disapoint you Pink FLoyd thats for sure. :) I built a rig for a pal around 18 months ago with an Eclipse and was really struck by it. I fancy the Mirage simply because I like drives and stuff hidden away - pity its plastic though. Now I have had to go back to using a case I keep...

    What number for haircut?

    No1 but only because I refuse to look like a clown owing to the super wide parting I developed some years ago.

    What the hell... can the gas company do this?

    Scam, you say your are angry over having to shell out an unexpected £500.00 when you thought it was going to be around £50 – how did you arrive at that amount, you must have used some measure. When your living on a tight budget a shock like this is like a smack in goolies I know but by the...
