If you've not definitely heard the click of the lock unlocking, you could try powering it on for a few seconds within a program, then off again and hope it unlocks. Unlikely to work, given that you've mentioned a problem with the actual handle, but might be worth trying, just in case it's the electronics that have got into a state that needs nudging. PS Actually, what silverfox says makes more sense. Try it that way, or at least the very end of a cycle.

Using the phonetic alphabet http://www.dynamoo.com/technical/phonetic.htm is useful for reducing errors over the phone. The DVLA do say they will provide registered keeper information if given good cause http://www.dft.gov.uk/dvla//data/relinfo.aspx, but presumably you won't need to try this if your insurers can deal with the other insurer.

I've answered my own questions by going to http://www.boroughmarket.org.uk/page/3050/The-Governance-of-Borough-Market . At least it's open and transparent enough for you to find someone there, staff or trustee, to address any complaint or observation to.

I know next to nothing about her. I have not seen the video. I would not dare to make anything but the most provisional and inconsequential of judgements of her even if I had watched it. I am glad that any authorities entrusted to make any significant decisions about her or her children will do so only after consideration of all available evidence and of all possible courses of action, and that any decisions about children will have their overall well-being as the main concern.

The only observable trend is of newpapers all flogging the same story, messageboarders following it, and subsequent buttons being pressed ad lib. And even that's not really a trend, it happens all the time. I think there are some boards that can more or less subsist on posting the day's Daily Mail story URLs as thread starters.

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.
