Hi, I just wanted to double check if there's any reason I couldn't charge a battery through a cigerette lighter from my second car while I'm driving? I'm looking at just rigging up a cigerette plug to 2 crocodile clips and have them clipped onto the battery. Would that be ok? Vijay

Hi everyone ..... this is a pub crawl of the circle line in London on saturday 7th of feb 09 starting at 10am @ the Pride of Paddington pub.. ..... a little info for yay .... In London, which has one of the largest New Zealand expatriate populations, a tradition has arisen in recent years to celebrate Waitangi Day. On the closest Saturday to February 6, Kiwis participate in a pub crawl using the London Underground's Circle Line. Although the stated aim is to consume one drink at each of the 27 stops, most participants stop at a handful of stations, usually beginning at Paddington and moving anti-clockwise towards Temple. At 4 p.m., a large-scal…

When you are looking through classified ads, whats your imaginary budget? We all do it, looking through pistonheads or ebay etc. even when not looking for a car. Mine is a meesly 4K, anything more than that i consider outside my budget and i couldn't afford that :o

Any thoughts on this one? On the face of it seems difficult to explain. Have any theories emerged yet as I understand that the turbine 'wing' actually went missing which isn't the sort of thing a crop circle hoaxer would be able to put in the boot of his sierra.

Hi, Just wondered what sort of quality you guys get from films and other things you've downloaded? Also can you connect your pc to a surround sound system and get dobly surround sound from downloaded films? Cheers Vijay

Hi, My current PC is an AMD Athlon XP2200 1.8GHz with 1 gig of ram. I'm contemplating getting myself a new PC and wondered if anyone has any recommendations? I have no problem with putting a PC together from parts as that'd be the cheapest way I'd imagine which is what I did with this one (parts ordered from Scan). I only use it for basic things like the internet, connecting to camera/MP3 player etc and working on various office documents. I don't do any gaming. I'd also want to connect to my TV to stream the footie or films. Is it worth buying a new PC or shall I just format it and reinstall windows? Will a new PC be a lot faster for the basic things? …

Hi, I had Orange call me tonight offering free broadband and phone calls but the monthly usage is 10GB. Is there anyway I can find out what I'm using a month at the moment? Is there any program that I can use which will keep a tally of my usage? Cheers Vijay

There I was minding my own business, when all of a sudden, a central reservation took offence to my car and assaulted it...can you believe that...:eek: Bl**dy black ice.... Lost the front then the back swung around...bang.... Estimate - 3.4K damage on 53 plate Vectra.... Still waiting to see if it's a right off. So I've asked my insurance company to take my council to court for not ensuring the roads where safe, i.e not gritting enough. I phoned the police who also nearly crashed into me due to the ice, and he stated the councils excuse, "The salt is melting the ice then the ground temperature being so cold is causing it to re-freeze".... Ok so her…

ive just managed to get on the net after ten days without!!! :rant: :rant: my router packed in two weeks ago, or at least it couldnt connect to the net, neither could my crappy wanadoo livebox. after 6 or 7 calls to orange tech support over the last week, there's still no internet connection (flashing lights on the front of the box) and theyve been fobbing me off with all sorts of rubbish about line upgrades and engineers taking a look into it and will contact me (not one call yet!) so i decide to reinstall and hook my old modem up and abra cadabara it works straight away!!! :confused: so can someone explain how i can be on the net with a good 6.4mb connection…

An Obituary printed in the London Times........ Interesting and sadly rather true Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; Why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His …

Evening all, just thought I'd post up a few recommended software progs that I use from time to time for various video related use on my PC. All of the following I currently use, and find to be very useful, depending on what you want/need to be able to do with them. So, in no particular order..... For DVD authoring; Nero 7 ( I personally don't like 8 or 9, although the menus are in widescreen, I just couldn't get on with them) Excellent prog, relatively simple if you use the Help files, and check on the internet for further help on tricky operations. For backing up of your own DVD collection; DVDFab5 (http://www.dvdfab.com) An excellent prog, it bypass…
