NO i used freeparking last year and they were crap, i will need a degree of support to set it up but they only offer via email which is pants i will check out GMX now All1

So when i first came online in 99 i took out a cracking email address with Tesco.net myapartment@tesco.net I thought it was awesome and it served me well for all this time, however the barstewards at Tesco's have gone and shut the whole thing down in a couple of months and i feel lost I have spoken about email addys before but always wanted to keep hold of "myapartment" but now i have no choice. So do i have this right? To get a permeant email address that i have control over i first need to buy a domain, say alloneword.com (it's gone) and then i could have various email address like mum@alloneword.com, dad@alloneword.com etc etc and i presume these would work with an email client like Thunderbird with the right setting etc that would be provided by the hosting company? So if i have the above right is there anything i need to be aware of (or stay away from) as far as the hosting company is concerned? I wil need decent support at the very least a chat option, i have been with a company who only offered email support and that was about as useful as a wet paper bag Any other advice is welcome; I just don't want to be put in this position again.

Yea stuff like the multi tool goes on CC so i think it's section 75 applies which means it will stay on my statement for a month or so then be wiped, no intrest for me and the small stuff gos via paypal so i'll get it back in the end but just a faff, it happens every year something to do with all the temp posties just throwing mail in hallway which is open to anyone, it must cost the RM a fortune in compo All1

Well as per usual at this time of year mail has gone walkabout, £180 Leatherman Charge TTi multi tool, £30 Wera Kraftform Precision Micro Screwdriver Set and a few other bits and bobs all told about £300 gone missing, wanted to put CCTV in to stop this kind of crap but landlord said no anyway while looking into a tracking number i came up with a message i had not seen before so hunted down a royal mail forum and someone posted this handy link with all the info you should need, hopefully it will help others. https://business.help.royalmail.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/756 All1

Thanks for the termanology help. What bugs me most was i used to work at a place that had them hanging around everywhere and could have lifted a good few if i had thought about it, the one you mention i can get for £105 new and second hand for £80, so given there is not much difference price wise i'd just buy new if i have to, but the Scottish in me always wants a deal from somewhere. All1

I'm in the market for a cheap (ish) fluke multimeter? The prices they go for on fleabay are a joke, it does not hve to be new in fact i'm hapopy with second hand, maybe a spare one at work is kicking around..... I have no need for manual or box or even leads, it's just i'm trying to learn a wee bit more about electrics and having a cheap MM is just not going to cut it. Given i don't know the right termanology please bear with me, my cheapo MM has, hell uploaded pic to stop any misunderstanding, so this is what i have and i want one where you just swith to volts and it will give a reading be that 1.5 or 240v no messting about with switching dials etc, so anyone help with right termanology for what i'm after or even better a MM?

Yea this has been a nightmare for me for years, where i live in London's Docklands means most of us round here are on Exchange Only (EO) lines which means copper goes from out home direct into the exchange itself and our best speed has been about 4mbits, I took the bull by th horns about a year ago and invested in some new hardware that would allow me to hook up to a 4G based ISP called Relish.net which can give me speeds of 30mbits during early hours of the day but normally about 10mbit, all fine you might say, but no we now have a major develoment work going on which means a 11 story block of flats will be going up bang in my way of the cell site and hitting my speed for six as i will lose line of sight, no green cabinets round our way so FTTC is out, the block of flats next to me have hyperoptic and thier 1GB service but will not do our block as my landlord said they could not put there kit in our flats so that route is out for now however if we can get 5 more people they will supply us but i have already done the round and can't get anyone else to sign up. So i'm well and truly fooked.... However I have been very lucky and been able to get in touch with someone very high up within OpenReach (OR) and put case to them and after doing a site survey they have agreed that FTTP is an option for me and they will do it for me and it should be live by mid Dec and then we come to the problem of an ISP, I cannot see the point is have this speed and having a download limit put on me so all i will want is unlimited downloads and i'd be happy with 50mbit and given so few ISP's offer this option the price is not cheap. I'm guessing i might have to have FTTP installed and wait till i get the offer of a good deal. All1

Yea BT as an ISP do FTTP (to the home) but from my digging it's less then half a dozen ISP's that do it and off course this means prices are high and some even cap you a 50GB, i mean you could do that in a couple of hours All1

Most get FTTC which is fibre to the cabinet then copper wire to your home FTTP is fibre straight from the exchange into your home supposed to be much faster as no copper is used but also fewer ISP touch it, and for that reason price seems to be a wee bit expensive All1

Long story short, i have been in contact with someone in OpenReach (OR) and have had site survey done and been told i can have FTTP by the end of Dec this year, which i thought was great news however i have now been looking at ISP deals and it seems there is only a handfull of ISP's that offer a FTTP product, so does anyone have FTTP a home? If so what ISP & deal do you have? All I want is unlimted downloads.. All1

Sorry to hear that m8, i know over the years we have lost some great guys on here (Dave/Bod/Bhess/Tatman not to mention Sparks but lets not go there with that one) i can just hope if he is still with us he's ok that's all, i do know his first and last name and he lived in Tampa so i may be able to look through public records, just don't want to if you know what i mean Once again sorry for you m8 buddy All1

Thanks DJ your a star All1

That is what is putting me of the powder ones i had read some horror stories about tv's/hi-fi being screwed even though they were not in the fire, Thanks DJ mind made up CO2 it is, how long can i expect the shelf life to be, and when the end comes is it best just to throw away and buy a new one? All1

I have been toying with the idea for sometime, however mine and the wives financial affairs are not straight forward, and i'm in 2 minds what to do. I know i can get money of some stuff myself but others are going to be a lot of work for me to get anything back and i guess 70% of something is better then 100% of nothing. All1

Wow 80's intresting i'll have a nose at them now thanks All1

If so how far back did you and was it easy? All1

If i remember right it was linked very closely to another site that is no longer around and i found Jamers via that other website and as they say the rest is history. All1

You know what Fonz i looked at wiki and came up with roughly same info but i thought i'll wait a while until the London Fire Brigade (LFB) come back to me with info as if anyone will know they will, well replied to my info request said they are not allowed to give advice of brand or class to buy, i 'm how f**king stupid i can undrestand brand issue but not tell me what class, another example of how this country if screwed beyond workds and anyone who choose to live here is NUTS, i only live here because i can't afford to move. LFB and can't give info out how stupid is that. All1

Being one of those scummy social housing people, these recent events at Grenfell Tower Fire safety is something that has been on my mind, not that i will ever have to jump from 20 stories tall but none the less it's been on my mind and despite the fact we have fire/smoke alarms it would seem a good move to have some basis fire safety measures here that i could use to tackle a basic fire. We are all electric however i do have 2 very small camping gas bottles in the flat (that run a camping Jetboil Zip fire) other than that i guess at worse were looking at a electrical fire so water is out i guess, I’m thinking a dry powder version but would love someone with fire knowledge to give their input looking for nothing more than a KG in size i guess. It's only a small London (can't even swing a mouse let alone a cat) 1 bed flat but we 10 mins away from our local station and a lot can go wrong in that 10 mins. All1

Not yet but i'm off to a place next week called Clerkenwell Screws and these are the people a few model railway and model racing car shops have told me to try they do all those micro kind of screws, so hopefully next week will give a result. All1
