    Earth Hour

    This is currently in action. Occurs last Sat in March, 20:30~21:30 your local timezone. Turn off as many lights as you can. Obviously leave on essentials like household appliances. I guess if you can turn off what you can it will all help. EARTH HOUR 2012 - GO!

    Water leak

    Marks down kitchen ceiling this morning. Nothing else affected. Thought: has the flat above me got a leak? When went onto private landing: big sodden area of carpet + drips from ceiling. Suspected pipe leak but then diagnosed as coming from attic above the flat above me. Possibly due to quantity...

    Senior moment

    (Not me.) A recent factual scenario follows. Elderly man (early 80s) driving home from country village during recent sudden & heavy snow flurry. Very careful all the way home with little traffic. Reaches home & pulls on to drive. Approaches garage door. Car starts to slip slightly. Brakes...

    Hot water efficiency

    Question if I may. Hot water tank (immersion heater) is open-topped - why? Surely this would be inefficient as while the immersion is off the water will lose temperature quicker than if there were to be a cover of some sort over the top. Any thoughts? Can one retro-fit some sort of basic...

    I'm after a new MP3 player. It needs to be over 10GB and have dictaphone abilities with a line-in so I can record my own keyboard-playing directly into it. Also would be highly preferable to have it plug in as a drive in My Comp and simply copy files directly to it, no silly 3rd-party software...
