    Bob Monkhouse had a brilliant visual joke of a man who mixed up Preparation H with his toothpaste, the way he "pruned up" his face as the resulting reaction was a sight to behold

    22 miles commute... which setup is best?

    I have a 1984 Puch Maxi from new and it has never let me down, magneto ignition so you just keep the moped on its stand, pedal and it starts - no bettery, the lights run off the generator inside the magneto - no battery.

    A cadence of 60 is equivalent to a quick march (left - right per second), so think of "Colonel Bogey" or Great Escape theme tunes and pedal in pace you wont be far off

    Repair my icharger 106B

    Have you got "a loose article" - post-manufature metallic debris, small screw, or loose solder in there that is shorting out on a random basis when you shake the device - suggest you disconnect it and give it a good shake over some white paper if you can, and see if anything comes out.

    Is testing the remaining capacity of a battery really possible?

    Usually the car battery tester as used by garages and battery depots in my experience is a little different. They apply very strong electrodes across the battery - virtually a short circuit, and then check for the voltage and any excessive gassing in each cell to see if it is in the process of...

    Why I like buying from Wiggle

    It was more of a "calorie audit". So I really have not changed what I have to cook for both my wife and myself in the main meals, apart from reducing potatoes a little (type 2 diabetics should better be described as "Carbohydrate intolerant"), and staying away from mashed potatoe becuase that...
