  4. Scissor jack defeats U locks, the vast majority of thieves are wise to that. Same result can be had with a couple of scaffolding poles and a bit of brute force, much harder to prevent scaffolding insertion than scissorjack insertion. Consider Almax chain & lock, check out the videos on youtube of people failing to cut ALMAX chains. I swear by them! almax-security-chains.co.uk

  9. Woodlice powder would have taken care of them. A good sprinkle around the place, leave it for the night and vacuum it and the dead insects up in the morning. Some of the insects would have carried a small amount of the powder back to their brethren hiding in the cracks. Also works well on wasps nests, but some insects such as masonry bees seem to be smart enough to know when they're poisoned and not return to the hive.
  10. Maybe they can see your usage when they examine your account but they're definitely not policing it. Friend used 160GB one month and over 110GB the next month by offering his hotspot as a free-for-all around the marina, I'm still surprised he got away with it but he did, and he claims to have been doing the same thing for years. This was on one of those £15 3 PAYG bundles, the one where they just put the price up to £20 last month.
  11. 3 don't seem to know when you're tethering! My PAYG is supposed to be no tethering but I've tethered almost daily since I got it. Same deal, different user, friend was leaving his phone in hotspot mode in a tupperware box on the roof of his boat so other people in the marina could tether and download films.
  12. I didn't see that first time round and emailed the incorrect address, causing the message to bounce back. CRT's IT morons are using bounces rather than rejections (old method, frowned upon as bad technique), so many people won't even get a rejection message as CRT's mailserver is already blacklisted for backscatter.
  13. This could lead into a very complex bit of wiring, especially as some of the things you're wiring have a positive "signal" and others have a negative "signal". Far easier to fit separate buzzers for each item, also makes it possible to use different sounds for different warnings.
  14. It's always been a dream of mine to have a go at legging a boat through!
  15. I do tend to agree, some people go too far to seek vengeance, and there are still plenty of criminals on the loose who might use this as an excuse to burgle the guy's house. Remember he's not guilty until the court says so, there's always a slim chance they arrested the wrong man. The courts have a duty to fully identify the person, which may include his address and postcode. You might take note that the newspapers use the court's information releases to make news articles but it is unusual for them to publish anything more specific than a street name.
  16. Exactly what someone I know tried to do. He got a hostel place and I found him some part time work with a local taxi firm. SA kicked him out and reported him for working whilst claiming, which got his benefits sanctioned for 6 months. The only reason he's not still on the streets is because he's since been diagnosed with a terminal illness and the 1% don't like finding dead bodies in their shop doorways.
  17. Two friends of mine staggered home drunk with a Barber's chair, neither have any recollection of where it came from. I found them the next day both feeling terribly guilty about stealing it as they're both completely honest people by nature. Alcohol is a powerful drug!
  18. Mine's lost 0.5mm in 36 years, not bad for a boat that's been set on fire and sunk. Met a guy in the midlands who had one same year as mine and he'd lost even less! The thing with Springers seems to be the interior, it's all flimsy and it wears badly.

  21. I think that makes them technically a Ponzi scheme, rather than a benefit.
  22. I haven't done that in decades, brings back memories of paddling like crazy trying to keep my canoe within a couple of feet of my friends outboard. Yes the wash is "fun" when compared to flat water, but I wouldn't dream of doing it without the permission and cooperation of the boat in front.
