PM me the numbers that you have been using and I`ll check up to see if I can get you any alternative numbers to ring. Also, there is an 0800 number for EE that I will look for. ---------- Post added 17-09-2013 at 16:46 ---------- It looks like others are having similar problems. http://community.ee.co.uk/t5/products-services/SHOCKING-repair-service/td-p/10052

Don`t you have 1571 or similar? If you gave your number out and didn`t want to answer the phone they could leave a message.

Hi Tommo. I found that EE are not the easiest of companies to deal with, in fact quite difficult at times in my experience. Certain things can be escalated to second line as they call it. (My dealings with them have concerned signal problems inside the house. Been promised a signal box about 2 months ago, and still waiting. I have several numbers for them). How are you phoning them at the moment to check up on your repair status? What numbers are you using? Let me know, if I can help or suggest anything I will as I know how frustrating it can be.

You asked the question in the title of your OP, "Anyone tried pheromones". What exactly do you mean by tried?

Because I am uniformed about these sort of things:blush: I have works suite. It was just that when Ghozer posted the link to ninite I noticed Office was available as a free DL. In the past I have received docs that were written in a format that works suite could not open. I thought, as it it free and may come in handy in one of those situations I may as well DL it.

I have just downloaded MS office via http://ninite.com/ as mentioned in this thread http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1217490 Now that I have it I am being asked for the product key What happens now-is it possible to obtain the key?

Taxman, do the fresh chillies need to be blanched prior to freezing , or is it ok to just put them straight in to the freezer? While on the subject of chillies, an Asian guy I used to work with used to talk about green chillies & red chillies and explain how hot one of them was. Arn`t red chillies just green chillies that have fully ripened? (same as the various colour/stages of ripeness of sweet peppers-green yellow & red)

I am not an expert, but I have never known a gas boiler that is for cental heating only Can you not arrange for the landlord to come down and explain how everything works?

I guess he was just using his head.

The only fresh herb I use (if it is a herb) is garlic. Garlic is dirt cheap to buy fresh, and lasts a while. I eat it raw to stop women getting too close, and I always get a seat to myself on the bus. It does burn easy, but if one knows that, then you cook accordingly. Everything else I use is powered or ground and in a packet. Can you really tell whether dried or fresh herbs have been used in a meal? I wouldn’t have a clue. The one exception is that I find fresh coriander leaves spread on top of a curry enhances it. Another thing I find about powdered/ground herbs is it is easier to put the right amount in to the food. ¼ ½ a tea spoon of chillie powder. What is the equivalent in fresh chillies, and would that be fat chillies thin, long, short ?

Outrageous. You did right Yorkie.

How far away is the the MOT? If not too far off you could put it in for a test. You may find that the fault is something that is part of the test.

Maxtor, When I fitted my kitchen, I fitted the units, the built in electric cooker, plumbing and electrics. But, anticipating the issues with the worktops I left it to the professionals. These guys will use a router, and a jig for the specific job they are doing. Even if you had the tools, I think one would have to practice quite a bit to get a quality finish.

If you cannot get a doc to refer you after trying all the GPs, it is possible to get a referal letter from a private GP £££

The host for this board in terms of software is provided by vBulletin. I feel it works very well. Has anyone else got their own board provided by vBulletin, or a similar board by a different provider that works as efficient?

Cath, (The search term is endocrinologist). I could only find one in the area, A Dr. Alahabadia in Sheffield, and these guys are not cheap (£200 for about 45 mins). In all events you will need a referal letter from "some where".

I should first clarify that is the bag size not the individual prawns. Can you get that size bags? I currently go to the supermarket and get a frozen 300g bag for £3.50 Is it actually possible to buy large bags of cooked prawns?

In the winter I would say they would very likely consider it quite urgent. As for this time of year I am not sure what they would class as an emergency. In the winter, without a proper heating sytem working all sorts of problems can happen, like frozen burst pipes and the damage the water causes.

ok-just thought it was further.

Regarding Meadowhall bus interchange and the railway station, which is the closest to an entrance of Meadowhall?

I’m a believer in “use it or lose it”. It is well documented that simply retiring and doing very little (with mind & body) can predispose people to premature aging and dementia. ...a good thing that people of age 65 and above are still going out to work. Paying national insurance, contributing to the tax pot and the economy in general, and lessening the risk of ending up in a care home, whereby fees are often paid for by the state ---------- Post added 07-09-2013 at 14:58 ---------- NI contributions- That is something I didn`t know. When you say that you pay more tax,do you mean you personally, due to other income(s). I do know that once a person reaches 65 the personal allowance increases in increments. A person of 80 has a larger personal allowance than a 65 year old.

Yes. I`m still waiting for the mods to rectify the error as requestecd. It`s only possible to edit the body of a message not the title (unless I`m not doing it right)

(Source: BBC news ref 2011 census). I’m a believer in “use it or lose it”. It is well documented that simply retiring and doing very little (with mind & body) can predispose people to premature aging and dementia. Is it a good thing that people of age 65 and above are still going out to work? Paying national insurance, contributing to the tax pot and the economy in general, and lessening the risk of ending up in a care home, whereby fees are often paid for by the state? Or, is the fact that they are choosing to go on working (while often being eligible for a state pension plus tax credits and housing benefits) detrimental to the young end of society who desperately want to work and cannot find a job?

At the "basey" beginning of this Chris Rea video, the guitar he is playing seems to have 6 strings (base guitar)? Near the end of the vid at 3min 48 secs he still seems to be playing the same guitar, now playing the thinner strings and with fingers of the left hand further hand along the neck towards the body for the desired notes. The guitar emits a blues type vibe-all very nice, (and reminds me of the music in the Robert Denero film Heat). Is it feasible that it is the same guitar producing such a variation of notes? If so, I thought these notes could only be produced from guitars that were not base guitars.
