oh feck. That's red card territory

Thanking her lucky stars it wasn't a beer festival!

If I thought I would get peace I would eat one but I would more than likely end up with heartburn or the runs.

SSD if 2.5" will probably need an adapter to go in an HDD bay in the tower. I've bought loads of cheap drive enclosures etc from P C World. For some reason they're dirt cheap: http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing-accessories/office-supplies/pc-care-and-cleaning/dynamode-2-5-3-5-bracket-mounting-kit-07929915-pdt.html I tend to put the OS on the SSD and storage on the HDD. Gives a new lease of life to an old pc. Put a Linux distro on it and you're flying!

I've seen Faye labouring in those videos you should be bringing HER the beer! Seriously though, you both appear to share a passion / vision for the build which is a fantastic thing and a great basis for any relationship IMO.

Some of the older members and refugees may remember that Damon was working and a self setting/programmable room stat. He has asked me to post up a link to the website. Hopefully it is not too commercial and others find the project useful. https://myradbot.com/

When I was a kid, my little cousin got a thorn in her finger, she came running to me and asked if I had any cider for it. I asked why she wanted cyder rather than a plaster. She replied that her big sister said she always felt better with a prick in cyder. I will get my coat

Hes a bright lad!!

I showed the roll dispenser idea to my boy..... "Oh Christ we'll never get a bath!"

PM me your address and I'll do you a Live USB stick to try. You just turn the lappy off, whack the stick in and turn on. You MIGHT need to set the BIOS to boot from USB or not. You select "try without installing". It loads the OS from the stick and you're up and running. Probably need to put your router password in to get on your Wi-Fi but no need if hard wired. Shut down (in seconds) after having a play and remove the stick. When you boot again it'll be back to Windoze.

Actually as I heard it...... Faye needed her Magner..fier

Bet you both smelt of rotten fruit after. Dirty fxxkers !! (found a word that the swear filter missed, brilliant)

What size of house? To get under £100K is doing well, I doubt I will achieve that in spite of me doing so much of the work myself. As Peter says, No 1 is insulate, insulate, insulate. No 2 is air tightness. No 3 is good doors and windows, No 4 is an MVHR unit (mechanical ventilation with heat recovery) Then you can think about heating, which should not be much. I am going for an air source heat pump and to buy one for self install should be under £1500, possibly under £1000, i.e not a great deal more than an ordinary boiler. I personally would not have oil or LPG again, the price is too volatile. (though I will have LPG for cooking, the usage is so low that the cost hardly matters) I will be fitting solar PV, but by the time I get there, I doubt the (already low) feed in tariff will exist any more. So that means a DIY installed system bought as cheap as possible, and almost certainly some form of battery storage to ensure near 100% self usage. Tell us more about your house design and where you are building. Oh and welcome to the forum.

For gaming or pretty much anything I would not buy a PC without an SSD. The difference in performance is staggering. SSD as a main drive, internal or external HDD for storage.

Just change the K to another L and spit all over the letter, works a treat.

Cordless Makita multitool with tool-less blade change, as was discussed on another thread by @Ferdinand I think: http://www.ffx.co.uk/tools/product/Makita-Dtm51Z-0088381667418-18V-Lxt-Multi-Tool-Bare-Unit

I get this a lot, I dont think the issue is that I'm not married........... the issue is you lot didn't marry Faye

Going by your review I'll give it a miss I think.
