Instead of picking a number, use 'n' to represent the choice of chocolates per week.. Follow the steps: 1) n 2) 2n 3) 2n + 5 4) 100n + 250 5) 100n + ([1755 + 250] or [1754 + 250]) 5a) 100n + (2005 or 2004) 6) 100n + (2005 or 2004) - (year of birth) You end up with: 100n + (2005 or 2004) - (year of birth) = 100n + [(year of my last birthday) - (year of my birth)] = 100n + [my age] Easy!

The most popular choice seems to be red maggot, although I would have thought it harder to see on a lake/river bed than a white one, but there you go. I believe it's because red maggot most resembles the natural bait your likely to find there, eg: bloodworm, etc. I'm sure there's more experienced anglers on this forum who could further enlighten you.

As a younger man, it had to be Kate Bush.... those eyes and lips. Nowadays, it gotta be Angelina Jolie...those eyes and lips. I think there's a theme here somewhere........

Okay guys, found a price for a diverter valve for a Potterton Lynx Combination Boiler (GC number 47.590.02) at this web page . The cost is £93 (I assume VAT to add on). Is this a representative price? and can it be fitted by a competent DIY'er? Thanks

You could try e-mailing them a photo of the assembly, and they might be able to tell you whats missing/broken.... Terry

Chris / Tog, thanks for the advice. I checked HRPC's website but couldn't find the kit for Potterton. I'll pop to the PlumbCentre tomorrow, as there's one down the road from me. If no joy, I'll let you know as mentioned. Cheers

Ken, I took Virgin's 512k package at £17.99 per month with the 3Gb monthly limit, (mainly 'cos there was no 12 month minimum contract). I figured on an average 30 day month thats 100Mb a day. Plus they don't cut you off if you go over, just send a polite email!

Peter: It heats water 'on demand' - like the old Ascot of yesteryear. Yoxer: I'll get some quotes. It shouldn't cost too much if it's not a major job. Cheers guys....

I've an old Potterton Lynx combi-boiler (over 15 years old now), which has problems heating the hot water. It can take up to 5 minutes before the hot water is up to a decent temperature, and if I run it for a while I notice the radiators get quite hot too. I believe there is a transfer valve which diverts either supply water or central heating water through the 'heating' part of the boiler. Is this the problem? If so, can it be replaced, or is it time for a new boiler? (Something I would rather avoid if possible). Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks...

It reminds me of a story I was told as a young typewriter engineer some twenty-odd years ago in the City of London. We carried our tools in a medium-sized Samsonite type toolcase, and for a laugh one of the lads filled the new boys tool case with shaving foam. On his first call of the day he visited a large company directors secretary to fix her electronic typewriter. Sitting at her desk with his toolcase next to him, she explained the problem. On opening the toolcase and finding it full to the brim with shaving foam, he immediately slammed the lid shut before she could see his predicament. Well, with a bed of air between lid and base, you can imagine what happened to the latent foam inside. The resultant spray reached five feet outwards and upwards, covering the desk, the walls, his legs, the secretarys brand new skirt (who was standing behind him at the time)and most of the carpet in the immediate vicinity. Cleaning up the foam took the best part of an hour, but it was the strong aroma of Brut 33 that left a permanent reminder of his visit.

Joanne, try looking here http://www.go-fish.co.uk/essex.htm for lakes in Essex.

I use Drennan Double Strength in 4lb for my match rod & 6lb for feeder fishing. I have Daiwa Sensor in 12lb for the odd bit of carping. I bought and tried (cos it was cheap) some Shimano Beastmaster line. The stuff was like a coiled spring (despite being careful when loading the reel), I can't recommend it.
