  1. The Fireworks Regulations 2004 don't generally permit use of fireworks during night hours, except on permitted fireworks nights, defined as below: 7(3) In this regulation, ?night hours? means the period beginning at 11 pm and ending at 7 am the following day and a ?permitted fireworks night? means a period? (a)beginning at 11 pm on the first day of the Chinese New Year and ending at 1 am the following day; (b)beginning at 11 pm on 5th November and ending at 12 am the following day; ©beginning at 11 pm on the day of Diwali and ending at 1 am the following day; or (d)beginning at 11 pm on 31st December and ending at 1 am the following day.
  2. "May 2013 "Platforms 14, 15 & 16 at London Bridge close to enable redevelopment work. This means platform changes and the retiming of some Southern train services. "Spring 2014 "The first two redeveloped platforms open at London Bridge (14 & 15) with new longer canopies to protect passengers from the rain."

  3. > I heard they have caught the guy who raped this poor girl. Does anyone have any confirmation? If anyone has been arrested, the case is sub judice, and any comment about a person concerned, if likely to be prejudicial to the trial process, might be deemed a punishable contempt of court. The proper thing is not to speculate in public, and to leave the decision about anyone's guilt to a jury. And then there's the question of potential libel ... Another good reason for a little self control.
  4. Ask to see a copy of their licence. http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200127/apply_for_a_licence/356/charity_collections http://www.met.police.uk/charities/housetohouse.htm
  5. > login failed, even though the pop server and password are what the site's telling me. The site doesn't tell you the password; you decide it. Who is is the mail service provider? Is it your ISP? Is it a definitely established email account that you can, presumably, also access via a web page?
  6. > However, I wonder what would have happened if the executors had been more fleet of foot and already distributed the money? I've seen one media report of a solicitor saying that it would still then be potentially recoverable, but I'm not accepting that on trust. I don't think any court has yet been asked to exercise its discretion to allow the hearing of any claim against the estate. A claim for personal injury would normally have had to have been made within three years of the claimant's eighteenth birthday. Here's an article on the discretion issue: http://www.halsburyslawexchange.co.uk/jimmy-savile-the-final-cost/ .
  7. Nothing to do with ED. Similar ads on mumsnet, avforum, studentroom, ... I'm out anyway. Don't loathe it passionately enough.
  8. Here's one of many articles about the process, with some video as well, showing what to look out for. They get into the car, plug a device that looks much like a TV remote into the diagnostic port under the dashboard, and do some reprogramming operations -- takes a couple of minutes. http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/132526-hack-the-diagnostics-connector-steal-yourself-a-bmw-in-3-minutes
  9. Check, via the configuration menus, that your devices are still set for RGB input/output and not S-video.
  10. Is it steel wool or sheepy wool?
  11. Do you not remember reading cereal packets and sauce bottle labels?
  12. Like Dislike Always Sometimes Never Kiss Me Quick
  13. I've just tried out the SFC scan on a Vista laptop. The simplest way to access it was via Start > Programs > Accessories, then the RIGHT click on Command Tool and select Run As Administrator. It took less than half an hour.
  14. I don't think experimentally un/re/installing different versions of the runtime library is likely to be hazardous, but may be rather tedious, and slow to provide any useful feedback if this is, as you say, an intermittent problem. I doubt that it'll resolve the problem anyway. If this were something that happened on startup I'd say follow all of Mouneshwar's advice at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-performance/microsoft-visual-c-runtime-library-error/72d434c0-887a-4f17-904e-bf16fb42a0f8 . But as it's not, I think I'd simply check what your event logs report of any such occurrence: see eg http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/What-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer .
  15. Do these lifts onto flatbeds involve an electric hoist? Not in your area, I'm afraid, but I was half woken from sleep recently rather early in the morning by an electric motor noise that I assumed to be a rather early rubbish collection, but which turned out not to have been. If I'd thought that it might have been a theft, I would at least have got up and had a quick look.

    Did you know that the timestamp on postings (at least, the one I made at 19:14) is five minutes slow. I'm posting this at 19:17:10
  18. At 19:14 http://www.southernrailway.com/your-journey/live-running-information/DMK/departures/ is showing these departures from Denmark Hill as cancelled. I'm pretty sure the Victoria trains are the ones from London Bridge. 19:23 to Victoria 19:24 to London Bridge 19:53 to Victoria 19:54 to London Bridge
  19. You are Kehlog Albran and I claim my five free gifts at the bottom of the packet. http://pictures.abebooks.com/BRIJAC/6523658690.jpg
  20. > This is such a bad idea I don't know where to begin. You ask them to complete your eight-page cold caller screening survey.
  21. Any feedback on whether an attenuator helped?

    Whatever external backup you have in your own home is probably just as likely to disappear in any fire or burglary as your primary stuff. So for anything you really value, you want some offsite storage as well, and a notion of how you will set about reinstalling your system and data after a disaster. Anything sensitive can be encrypted first, fairly easily.
  23. > Thanks I might fall back on Polish food, but he is from Siberia Lemming Stroganov. Yum. First, catch your lemmings ...
