Digest entry

• When kissycat1000 sold her car, the buyer was keen to take the car away immediately. After establishing the buyer and I shared the same bank (thereby enabling instant-transfer), I brought my wireless laptop outside and allowed her to conduct the transaction (for a substantial sum of money) whilst sat in the back of the boot. With no wires. This, although obvious when you think about it, blew my mind somewhat at the time.
• Today, while sat at work, kissycat1000 proceeded to relate to me the story of how J was systematically destroying my house with wee, shampoo and filler. ARGhkjashdfkjskhfsdf
• Tonight, I managed to hook up the tape drive I have to my computer, and get software to back beast up with (first version I tried had a limit at 1,000GB! New version doesn't *grin*)
• I need to buy things from eBay: a new front brake disc for my bike (and a headlight), and about 24 DLT tapes.

i got something similar when I used my wireless laptop to make a call to my mum's landline...

Front brake discs are here, here and here, you're looking at about £130 in total.

Or £75 each (not including delivery or VAT) from David Silver Spare, brand new. :/

Huh. I emailed David Silver Spares and they quoted me £99.57 ex VAT inc delivery. I suspect though that's for a genuine Honda part - I didn't think to ask for a pattern part.

I may as well take off the one I've got and see if I can improve it without spending loads of money - if not I'll still need to buy one at the end of the day.

Wonder if this will still be in effect in a couple of weeks?

A Department of Transport spokesman said: "With immediate effect, the following arrangements apply to all passengers starting their journey at a UK airport and to those transferring between flights at a UK airport."

All cabin baggage must be processed as hold baggage and carried in the hold of passenger aircraft departing UK airports.

Passengers may take through the airport security search point, in a single (ideally transparent) plastic carrier bag, only the following items. Nothing may be carried in pockets.

- Pocket size wallets and pocket size purses plus contents (for example money, credit cards, identity cards etc (not handbags));

- Travel documents essential for the journey (for example passports and travel tickets);

- Prescription medicines and medical items sufficient and essential for the flight (eg, diabetic kit), except in liquid form unless verified as authentic;

- Spectacles and sunglasses, without cases;

- Contact lens holders, without bottles of solution;

- For those travelling with an infant: baby food, milk (the contents of each bottle must be tasted by the accompanying passenger) and sanitary items sufficient and essential for the flight (nappies, wipes, creams and nappy disposal bags);

- Female sanitary items sufficient and essential for the flight, if unboxed (eg tampons, pads, towels and wipes);

- Tissues (unboxed) and/or handkerchiefs; - Keys (but no electrical key fobs).

All passengers must be hand searched, and their footwear and all the items they are carrying must be X-ray screened.

Yes I heard that on the news this morning, although not all the minute detail.

We should plan as if it is still going to be in force.

Sure, shouldn't be too difficult. I expect it'll have finished by then, and the backlog of delayed passengers etc will be dealt with, but we can assume the worst until we know different.
