Rather than all the political postulating and positioning... we could really do with a team of people to evaluate the most likely consequence of the UK coming out of a federal Europe... At the moment we have all the Europhiles screaming about how much of a mistake it would be to come out...

I have the same seal fitted.... but on mine the hose is connected to a water supply off the engine... so it gets water fed into it, not air escaping from it... is this wrong ??

Have you checked if that black sole will mark the deck ?

A few points here.... 1. We have extended the definition of who is "entitled" to free NHS treatment... so the set of people who are definitely not entitled is now very very small 2. All you have to do to "entitle" yourself to free treatment is say that you now intend to live here permanently...

I think it's more to do with massive demand, entrenched working practices and mis-management than lack of money. For example, regardless of how much money you throw at it, we will still have a shortage of GPs...

Thanks... but it's not XH, VH or EH (from the pics I've seen)... pin pitch is 2mm (I think) and overall the connector is 8.5mm wide. I've already spent several hours trawling through pics... there's alot of options out there...

I have this connector on my Icom M423 VHF set... can anyone identify it ? I could of course chop it off etc. but thought I'd at least try to find the proper connector for it...

I get an extra couple of bars signal from my 3g dongle just by sticking a parabolic shaped piece of tin foil behind it. You need to get the distance right, but that's just trial and error...

A bit like 'French' then... used to mean something that is fake/faux... like 'french cricket' or 'french knitting' or 'french pansy' or 'french letter' ?

If Tim changes his mind/forgets that he sent a PM... I'll have it !

Does anyone know what time she's due in tomorrow ? I'm in Southsea Marina right now, and tempted to stay on board another night to see her come in... Looking at the tides, I'd guess she'll be through the forts by 1130 ish ??

Yeah... that was the idea... and to centralise as many alarms as possible into one system... I was really looking for anyone who could tell me I'm wasting my time... or that it's very possible... or even that they've already done something similar...

Yes... it would be great if it could cover all that you mention, but I accept that it can't. I was proposing something that could cover as much as possible... certainly anything that is already able to generate an external alarm... In the case of the Vespar Watchmate, just using the external...

I have an idea for a central alarm system that would monitor all alarms on the boat (as far as possible) such as Bilge Alarm, Fire Alarm, GPS Alarm, Exhaust Alarm etc. etc. The system would be controlled by a cheap PIC mcu, using minimum power and would provide the following outputs should an...

Wow... drawing board clips... not heard those mentioned for a while... I think I might have a few of those knocking about still...
