Recording of Casino Royale, anyone?
|
| |
Ugh, I really hate it when they split films up on ITV and put the news in the middle. We were just watching Casino Royale which we taped on the PVR hard disc back on 19th September (yes, it's taken us a while to get round to it), only to discover that we actually only had half the bloody film. Has anybody kind soul got a video copy of the second half that we might... more »

| |
I have 2 tickets for 'Christmas with the Rat Pack' at Cambridge Corn Exchange on Saturday 5th December at 19:30 but now cannot make it. These are seats XG 11+12 in the middle of the tiered seating so very good seats.

LHC up and running (again)

My microwave has just died. I still have the receipt, I bought it from Comet in January 2008. According to [link] "If a product that was faulty at the time of sale is returned to the retailer, the buyer is legally entitled to ... a reasonable amount of compensation (or "damages") for up to six years from the date of sale"... more »

Inhabited vehicles in residents' parking spaces
|
| |
For the last 6 days there has been a somewhat run-down camper van parked in a reserved residents' parking space just round the corner from us. They have a permit (I think they are probably doing work on one of the many properties in the area that's being renovated, judging by the hard hats and toolboxes in the cab, so I assume that's where the permit's come from). The... more »

Talk of shaft drive bicycles has reminded me [1]: are there any initiatives under way to introduce a community bike scheme, as per any number of European cities? [1] shaft drive bikes are particularly suited in this application and some schemes do use them.
