According to my resident nerd that card is "pretty good" and there's "two above it" the 1070 & 1080. Other monosyllabic suggestions were "small SSD", "big HDD".

She was walking two corgis with Prince Philip... My youngest said "...it's like three normal wasps stuck together!"

We had a queen wasp in my lad's bedroom yesterday. The missus caught it and stuck it outside. No doubt it'll find a hole in the building fabric (there are many) in which to spawn next year's crop.

So beer fridge below the loo roll holder? Getting silly now, this!

How about 9mm Buffalo board and she can just live with the pseudo industrial finish? Or 6mm ali chequer plate?

Shrődinger's Shat.....without the indicator, until you actually run out there may or may not be a fresh roll... Liking the bike wheel idea.

YOU do like to complicate things! Seriously though I was thinking on these lines (7 segment LED etc) but I think the easiest is just a subtle LED that comes on when you've one or two in the magazine. Could be a simple whisker switch held off by the 3rd roll in the mag. When that drops, leaving two, the LED comes on.

Our DG windows never get steamed up.....could be that there's that many gales blowing in from elsewhere I suppose my question should have been would you feel a difference standing next to a DG window in a (reasonably) well insulated wall. I guess you would? A thermal imaging camera is the way to go I imagine to be sure.

Seems the place to pose this question but exactly how "good" are generic DG windows? I'm thinking not very. The reason I ask is that in draught proofing around my bathroom window (covered in great detail elsewhere ) now it's done there's no draught per se but the air is colder near the window. All four sides have the insulated plaster board sealed against the UPVC frame.

Now then... With hindsight I might have done this different but I basically battened the room so it was square. The walls were concave, convex, you name it. Below is the typical detail. Battens sitting on periodic packs that vary from 5mm upward. Plastic packs in some cases, timber in others or a combination. I've tried to gun foam behind the battens wherever. The wall where the window is, is so out that with the 50mm Celotex pushed back to the wall the distance to the face of the batten varies - I've shown clouded the 12, 20, 20, 25mm dimns and it gets worse the further you go along the wall. Is it worth just pushing in tight EPS off cuts as shown by the one marked with the "?" Also should I tape over the battens before I put the VCL on? Cheers

Yep! She was pretty much bang on with her lines:

How to mark out plaster board for the window reveal: Take one child: Give it a pencil and a torch:

A lot of the kids (juniors) used to like kicking a football before school. That was banned as it "hyped them up" before they went into register. It was all some of them looked forward to. There's a few apple tree there.....so they then started playing footy with the windfalls. That got banned as well. Haloween.....banned. 4/19 passed the 11+.

I remember that at school! It had germicide impregnated in it I think. No wonder none of us ever got ill making ship's funnels etc from the old bog rolls. They've banned toilet rolls for craft use at my youngest's school.

An Andrex PUPPY dispenser! Even I'm not stupid enough to attempt that.....

Quite seriously THAT is the design's Achille's Heel. Different sizes will likely not work in some way. Drawing this up based on 120dia x 105lg. Still it's something to do!

I'm on a roll now.....

Plasterboard either side of the 145mm timber stud. The (red) "cam" is held against the roll by opposing / attracting (tba) magnets (?) instead of a spring I'm thinking. Pull the cam towards you and the roll drops down. Maybe extend the cam at the top to abut the roll "in waiting" above and stop it interfering with the action initially. Let go of the cam and the roll above drops into place. Early days but it's something to go on.....

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

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

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.

Cummins Cider?

I can only implore you to give Linux a go with it! Specifically Zorin OS that is so like Windows it might as well be! It'll even run MS Word, Excel etc. You can even try it out off a Live USB stick. http://zorinos.com Tbh you can take the old HDD out of a duff laptop, place it on the ground, run over it then burn the remains. You can then boot from the Live stick and be on the net in under 5 minutes. All WITHOUT a hard disc in!

He who hesitates etc. These were on Super Special the other day for £23 inc the dreaded! https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Storage/Hard+Drives/3.5+Inch+SATA+Drives/1.5TB+-+8TB/2TB+Toshiba+DT01ACA200+3.5"+SATA+III+Hard+Drive+-+PULL+HDD+?productId=65666 I hesitated! Should have got a couple and built a Pi based NAS as I can't afford a Synology.
