    beard trimmer

    Hi all, Looking for a beard trimmer, however I'm wary that some are a bit rubbish. I like to keep a fairly short stubble, and I don't have much fat on my face so there are quite a few "edges", I've had trouble with electric shavers in the past missing hairs etc. Are there any good beard...

    pull up alternatives

    If there isn't a complete alternative to them, could someone suggest a set of exercises that would work the same muscles?

    pull up alternatives

    True, but my wife won't like the brackets, as they will look "ugly"! Not to worry though, I'm going to ask the gym at work if they don't mind if I just use the pull up equipment for 5 mins in the morning! I will also try to find some other exercises that will work the same muscles. Daven

    pull up alternatives

    The ones I had before fitted between the frames, however they required some brackets to be installed. Since I rent my flat I can't really do that :( I have no door frames that will fit the "no installation" bars. Inverted rows look do-able, so I will try them. Are resistance bands any good for...

    pull up alternatives

    Hi all, I love pull ups, but I'm not going to pay £30 a month to go to the gym and do them. I used to have a pull up bar at home, but I have since moved and don't have anywhere one could go. Is there an alternative exercise that would use the same muscles and give the same kind of...

    I use KMC chains they have a good quick release (bit tough to get off sometimes - but that's good, right?!) and are cheap :D

    Usually pretty good, wouldn't worry about it. Probably just busy.

    Pirate DVDs (I think!)

    Well I don't mind if they are just asian versions. The box has the correct image just not printed too well. I bought them from greatentertainmentshop.co.uk, paid via credit card. Having now googled the shop (should have done it first!) it does seem like I was lucky to get any at all. I will...

    Pirate DVDs (I think!)

    Not sure where to put this so in GD it goes. Basically I bought some DVDs online - the price was only a few pounds less than the rainforest place, and now I have received them they are from China and have Chinese markings on the DVD (around the centre hole). However the back looks like a...

    Got a couple of "buffs" off ebay for about £5, they work really well, and help me keep my face & ears warm in the morning and evenings :)

    mouse stuttering

    Hi all, Recently my mouse has been stuttering occasionally. I have had a look in task manager while it stuttered but nothing there showed anything. It happened after I installed Nokia Software Suite. I have since installed Ubuntu and still have the stuttering in there. Also have removed all...

    best way to spread data over partitions when install linux

    thanks for the tips, I found these resources so might follow bits of them as they seem to be similar to what you guys suggest but I'm guessing the first is more for servers. http://www.linuxsa.org.au/tips/disk-partitioning.html...

    Yes low / high when the bike is upright. Can never remember which one is which so I just tighten one and see which way it moves!

    Accident, what to do?

    She did, but if you are doing the speed limit and someone cuts into your lane, you can't really do much about it. Sure you can have time to sound the horn, but if you don't have enough distance to stop fully then you are going to hit unless someone swerves. Or I may have misunderstood the...

    Accident, what to do?

    Fair enough, my apologies. Basically what I am trying to ascertain is what can be done to report it etc. I understand that nothing can be proved, and I told my mum she should have got an independent witness.

    Yes, very sure.

    Accident, what to do?

    Except it was until someone tried to change lanes without looking. Don't be an idiot in every thread you enter.

    Accident, what to do?

    No space to stop - she was moving at the correct speed for a clear road. Unfortunately no witnesses. Have gone to the police and cab company. Thanks for the advice. Are prepared to suck it up, because that's life, but want to make it known to authorities that this driver is dangerous.
