    Phone warranties last the same length of time as the contract.

    You sure about that ?

    I got banned for 24 hours in my first week for asking somebody if he had to work hard at being a c*ck, which on reflection may have been slightly harsh, but i have seen worse.

    I wasn't disagreeing with you, i am more than aware that its fact, i was trying to say that if you get a down bag and look after it it wont get wet in the first place !

    The OP never gave a budget so we don't know if he wants a £300 down for backpacking or a £20 synthetic for car camping do we ?

    Don't buy feathers for use in the UK. wet down sleeping bags are useless

    This argument is getting a little long in the tooth, i agree wet down is useless but why would you let your down bag get wet in the first place ?

    I have used a down bag for years, including winter camping\climbing trips, down allows high warmth to weight ratios and small pack sizes.

    The trick is you keep it dry, the combination of a good tent and a dry bag is all you need to do to achieve this.

    Having said that i wouldnt use down in summer, you will really need 2 bags to cover you for all year round, spring and autumn you would want a down bag thats capable of going down to inbetween 0 to -3 and summer a nice light synthetic thats good for +2 upwards.

    Depends how cold you get of course but that should cover all bases and you need extra warmth you can use a silk liner which would give you another couple of degrees.

    That is all !!

    Yep, second for Clearview, my Clearview Pioneer is on the go at the moment, brilliant stoves, the airwash keeps the glass very clean, i just clean it once a month to take the ash build up off but thats it.

    Like others have said, you might not think you NEED your chimney lining but at some point you WILL need it doing if you live in an older house as the internal pointing will be shot and you can end up with creosote leaching through into the walls and plaster, especially if it has not got a proper cowl on to stop water coming down.

    Another key to it is a good quality of wood, we have a local supplier that seasons all his for 12 months in barns and is from a 200 year old managed woodland, £120 a ton delivered which is 2 cubic meters, we only use ours at weekends so thats a fair few months use.

    If we moved it would be the first thing i would have done to any house regardless of age.

    I would have thought somewhere round Rjukan would be good, it always seems to get mentioned over on UKC for ice climbing, seems they have a ski side to it too, assuming it the same Rjukan !!

    Well doing a little bit of Google fu you might be struggling, it appears you can do it with some tweaking and fiddling and using various other tools:

    Its a pain SNMP, only seems to be supported\used by weirdos locked away in an IT dungeon (Thats not you is it ?, sorry if it is !)

    We needed to integrate it into an industrial solution with Modbus TCP, sounds easy, it isn't.

    Try F10 before doing anything

    Its likely to be an OEM version of Windows that HP use so anything you download might not work properly anyway.

    tragically1969

    I think its F10 on HP's to boot into the recovery application, just keep hitting F10 while the PC boots and follow the options from there.

    Good luck….

    Hmmm bootable floppy discs, anybody actually own a floppy disc anymore or even have a PC with a floppy drive ?

    tragically1969

    Yeah you will need a recovery disc of some sort, stick it in and run a repair from the Windows install

    Unless of course its got a recovery partition on the PC HDD, some Dells and HP's have this, what make is it ?

    If it wont start in safe mode and you dont have the recovery disc not many options left to you really.

    I was thinking of installing a rainwater harvest system for flushing down the bog and washing the pots, pans and my undies in

    Not really anything to add but i have often wondered for years why this isnt more of a standard feature in all new builds.

    Not a leg to stand on i am afraid, if thats thir policy, then thats the end of it, from Trading standards website:

    Q. I bought a jacket for my daughter the other day, but when she tried it on she didn't like it. I thought I was entitled to have my money back, but the shop has said no, and will only exchange it or give me a credit note. Are they allowed to do this?

    A. Yes. The law only requires a shop to take goods back and refund if they are in breach of contract, in other words if the goods are faulty or incorrectly described. If you have made the wrong choice, then they don't have to do anything, not even offer a credit note or exchange, so what they have offered is more than they have to.

    Of course, many shops have very generous policies and allow you to bring back unwanted goods, but crucially, they don't have to. If in doubt, check with the company before you buy, and if necessary get them to write on your receipt if they agree to offer a refund.
