    Hard hats on

    @Vipersan and Channel Hopper Hats off to you guys for having the fortitude to see this through to (nearly) the bitter end. I was tucked up with me water bottle long before you two!! U-zzz Shame you didn't get to witness anything spectacular though. :(

    Hard hats on

    Well, I consider myself well and truly told. At the risk of going 'off topic' I would just appreciate a brief opportunity to respond to this obvious 'put-down'. All I can do is say 'thank you' for the explanation because, a) being a thick pillock and b) a comparative newbie to the forum and c)...

    Oh, ok. "parse" = shorthand for pain in the arse.

    Hard hats on

    Attention all members of the Chicken Licken Fan Club - Dr William Ailor, director of the Center for Orbital and Reentry Debris Studies, has been monitoring the satellite's re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere and has, this morning, stated confidently "As far as the sky falling, I don't think...

    satellite dish motor.

    Know exactly what you mean. We have a static van up on the coast and spend a lot of weekends up there and I try desperately to not hear/read anything. Usually we get back on Sunday evening and I make the mistake of phoning my mum to see how she is. (She's 89, an F1 fan and thinks the sun shines...

    satellite dish motor.

    Hang on guys but this chap is a caravanner (and I don't mean that in a disrespectful way, Ian). I don't want to be a party-pooper but is the investment of time and money worth it? Favourite methods of mounting dishes for caravanning are: a) on a tripod, b) on a mast bolted to the drawbar or c)...

    Remnants of Katia

    Meteorology. Such an exact science, isn't it? Your post prompted me to have a look at reports and see what's going on. Wish I hadn't - there's just so much conflicting info out there. Now I can't be sure when it will hit, where it will hit, if it will hit, how high the wind speed might be or...

    Some way of setting a dish up

    Oh, ok. I get it - ignore the new kid and he'll shut up, eh?? :) Appears the man has two reasons why not - a) "There's nothing at all, it's practially on the road!" and b) "the fence post trick would work well but I could wake up in the morning with the dish missing!" If he's concerned that...

    Some way of setting a dish up

    I wish to make it clear that I am not, even a tiny little bit, hurt by the fact that my PS. in post #6 has been totally disregarded by EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Some way of setting a dish up

    Like your thinking but wouldn't it be easier just to thump a length of scaffold pole in instead? (By the way - why, when I used "Reply with quote", did the second sentence of your response suddenly appear?? Spooky).

    Some way of setting a dish up

    Rented, eh? How much of a liberty do you think the landlord might allow you to take? If you can't even bolt a dish to the wall my idea might be 'a little extreme', not to mention potentially daft!!! (I'm sure the boys will tell me how daft soon enough....). So, how about removing the opening...

    I'm from the Midlands myself and know what you mean. Mind you, as '8 pinters' some of 'em breached the trades description act. I remember one young 'lady' in particular - she was classy and drank brandy and Babycham - I must have poured gallons into her during the time I knew her, never mind...
