Applespider, that looks pretty good to me, by my own basic Latin. I surmise it's just a tenth of what the nuns produce or gather. Does anyone know what if anything the maior adds to the decima?

Trying attenuation sounds a good idea if you're getting that signal strength. I'm just a bit surprised that I don't recollect seing anyone previously reporting the same problem. I guess you've got a good line of sight to Crystal Palace and good equipment.

IANATVE. What is your TV like when using its own tuner and disconnected from the Virgin box, especially at a time when it's been playing up on the latter? Or when using another external input such as a freeview box or DVD player? If OK, and maybe anyway, I would also try whatever substitution tests were practicable: another TV in place of your own; your TV in someone else's Virgin setup; ...) (This is another one that isn't really an ED issue, innit? It'll probably be moved elsewhere soon.)

Not me. I have a plain freeview box and indoor aerial. Only occasional problems are due to signal deterioration. Why should the problem have manifested itself now? The power increase isn't due to happen until the switch over ? next year. You can apparently check the signal yourself, via the System menu. From the manual: 12.2 Signal Detection You can view the signal strength and signal quality of the channel that is currently on AV. Select Signal Detection using the / button and press the OK or button. I see that the Humax also has an Antenna Power On setting, meaning, I gather, that the device itself supplies power to active antenna that need power. It might be worth checking whether you've got it inadvertently switched on, or off, depending on what type of antenna you're using. Otherwise I'd be inclined to suspect interference. From the manual troubleshooting section: 3. Poor picture/sound quality ? Install the antenna in an obstacle-free place. ? Make sure there is no mobile phone or microwave oven near the product. ? Adjust the antenna direction to get the better picture. ? Set the antenna power in menu to On, if you use the active antenna to improve the reception. (where applicable)

I was just thinking about the possibility of civil action for restitution against him. The more firm evidence of his possession of multiple items shortly after they'd been stolen from different households[*], the easier it would be to prove your cases, which would be decided on the balance of probabilities. I doubt you'd even need to prove that he'd been the person who had broken in. [*] If you had stated that this was the case, I'd have begun seriously wondering about the CPS's decision. I'd just begun looking at ICO decisions concerning FoI requests made of them, to see what information if any can be obtained about their decision processes.

How would it compare with the losses and affronts you've suffered over the same period from other causes involving others' selfishness, wilfulness, complacency, greed, or negligence of your rights and feelings? Or even from your own negligence or foolishness? And in how many of those cases would there in any case be an insurer, bank or whatever to compensate you for your monetary loss?

Do you know how many stolen articles were found on the suspect, and whether they were from more than one household? Was everyone's missing property (a) believed to be on him and, if so (b) recovered from him and restored to its stated owner?

Some of you may know Ian Freedman, one of the partners in the Frost and Freedman dental practice on Peckham Rye. I was upset to learn that he died on 9 September. According to the notice of appreciation on the practice notice board (I think copied from the Peter Edward webpage, below), he'd been diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer, just a week before his 65th birthday and retirement, and died a few months later. He'd been my NHS dentist for over twenty years, and I really liked and respected him. Informative, quietly competent, I got the impression that he enjoyed his work, as well as taking the usual professional pride in it. Through that work alone he's done a large amount of good in his life. It's just sad that he wasn't spared to enjoy retirement. Among his listed leisure interests were bird watching and supporting a football team by the name of Arsenal. Also on the notice board were a couple of pictures of his daughter's recent wedding, with him looking a very happy father. I'm sad too for his family's loss. The practice itself, by the way, is continuing. I was recently treated there by Rashid, who, since he said he'd be seeing me again in nine months' time, I take to be Ian Freedman's permanent replacement. They've also had the practice management taken over by Birwood Dental Care and have had computer systems installed, that the staff are in the process of getting used to. Peter Edward's webpage fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer Research UK in memory of Ian Freedman is here.

How many of the standard food waste bags do the small brown bins hold?

I think I'll join you both in not rechecking. Meanwhile, to turn brown for a moment - I put out my single tiny recyclable bag of a week's organic waste, neatly tied with a piece of decomposable string, on top of my brown bin a couple of hours before collection. It duly disappeared. I noticed that a similar bag, the sole content of a brown bin across the road, had also been collected. I failed, however, to watch what had happened. Do you think they wheeled that bin to the lorry, for the bag to be tipped into it, or do they perhaps retrieve them by hand or picker from the bottom of the bins?

It doesn't need an Admin to give you an answer. You can't delete a post but you can edit, preferably by addition to what you previously wrote. If it's to say that something offered is no longer available, the best thing imo is just to open the opening post of the thread for editing, and then change the thread title by adding NOW GONE or similar.

Shameful if true (I have no way of > authenticating it, but have no reason to doubt what she was saying). This is probably the judgment, dated 9 November 2010, in the case you're thinking of. It was the two children who brought the action, seeking judicial review of Basildon's refusal to follow the Local Government Ombudsman's recommendation that each be paid ?300 compensation. It was held that Basildon were correct in not taking the LGO's recommendation to be binding, but unreasonably and unlawfully at fault in the reasoning that led to their decision. The LGO, who acted as an interested party in the judicial review, reported earlier this year that the council subsequently made the recommended payments. [Edited to reformat only]
