Is it possible to get a song from youtube as a MP3 file? I think I remember doing it before but I cannot that converter anywhere?

I'm making some carp fishing leads for next year but the powder coating I'm using, which is supposedly designed for them, is really shiny when finished. I need to make them duller or the carp will see them from miles off.. I know (now!) that you can get matt finish powder but I was wondering if there was anything I could do to dull the ones I've made?

Sitting waiting on my ferry to Belfast for work really can't be bothered. Are there many zeds to spot over there? Il be working in an Iceland fitting LEDs to a freezer so if any of the Irish contingent are in feel free to say hello lol

What is it with stuff nowadays - I am normally a patient man, but as Jeremy Clarkson has said before, "Everything is rubbish and doesn't work....!!" On a whim this morning, I decided to upgrade my mobile phone. Now whilst I appreciate the workmanship that is the new i-Phone5 and the capabilities of it's (so-called) rival the Samsung Galaxy, or whatever; I am still a dinosaur and want a mobile phone that is, well, a phone. I just want to make calls and the occasional text; plus make sure it connects with the Bluetooth systems in my SLK and ZX.... .....so with my trusty Nokia C3-01 looking a bit 20th century, I bit the bullet and picked a free HTC Desire C; so at …

I need one new rear tyre on the Merc so I have been looking at prices on the 'net today and thought this place might be of interest to some of you.... http://tyresavings.com/ For one 245/35/18Y Continental Sport Contact 3 MO fitment, most places were coming in at around £190 fitted. I paid that for one back in the spring and E-tyres price is currently £187..... .....but these guys can do it fully fitted for £168! They use your nearest Halfords Auto Centre - you just have to book a day and a time, you don't pay anything up front and it's not a bad saving!! Especially as Camskills price for supply only (ex delivery) is £150 for the same tyre - and I don't hav…

Morning Any body out there know of the cheapest way to get a car collected and delivered? The car in question is drivable, but not road legal! Dave

This has always annoyed me, time for an answer. In the olden days we had square tvs, when i watched a film and had the black bars at the top and bottom i thought this was because films where filmed in widescreen? So now widescreen comes out and i watch a film, some fit, some have a thin black bar and some ive watched are about half the size of the tv, kind of pointless having a 42" screen. Why? Whats the point of getting a frameless tv when you will still get a frame on top and bottom, why cant they make a tv thats the right shape?

Schumacher ... again ...... Probably for the last time this time.

I'm headng across Europe to a festival in Budapest (Sziget) in august and I need a practical car for it. We've been 5 times previously in an '89 Audi 80 sport, a '97 Peugeot 406 Estate and most recently a '95 Renault Espace. Each car now has met it's own demise one way or another so now we are looking for something new. Here's the requirements: Spacious, At least 4 seats, Economical, Reliable (Not French), Air Con, Driver arm rest (You wouldn't believe how much difference tha makes), £1000 at most Cruise control and possibly an auto box is preferred but never had them before so I can happily go without. Who's got the answer..? C…

Not me that's poorly but my gorgeous baby girl who has had a radial mastoidectomy for a cholesteatoma :( Consultant said her diseased ear was much worse than anticipated. Hence four hours of surgery. Worst bit is, we have to do it all again in 6-8 months time. I'm so upset for her. Before After Wish I could go through it for her. Can't bring myself to tell her she's got to do this all over again next year :( :(

hey guys hows it going? i was wondering if anyone can help me with a problem im having with my e36 320i. im trying to get the car through the MOT, but the airbag light is on and the horn dosn't work either. when i tried to take the steering wheel off to start the investigation, the middle of the steering wheel (airbag unit) just fell out! this was just because it hadnt been screwed in by the look of it. now im pretty certain its the wrong steering wheel for the car, as the lobes that activate the self cancelling turn indicator are no where near the tab that cancels the indicator. so i thought ide get a new steering wheel from somewhere. but looking at the column, i cant…
