Any question answered...

Is there any mechanical advantage for the penta- option

No, and the lobe count isn't what makes it TorxPlus. The benefit of TorxPlus (usually six-lobe, but as with normal Torx there are 5-lobe and centre-post "security" variants) is that the stress on the engagement area is lower for a given drive torque, and there is a reduced tendency to cam out thanks to the different geometry. These are things which rightly worry people doing production engineering where fasteners are run close to their limits and need to be installed fast on a production line, but they are unlikely to concern the likes of us.

Torx Plus is still hexalobular, they've altered the profile slightly to reduce the drive angle further. Details here. I guess you mean Torx Plus IPR which is the pentalobular security type, with a post in the socket. It's still got the same problems as all other security bolts though - you can easily get the bits for them!

I stayed at the Tropicana in a 'pool side' room. It was $100 for the night and we booked it the day before we arrived. I would recommend it if you just want an average room for the night.

Don't stay in a hotel off the main strip.

I was there for 1 night, me and my girlfriend just spent the evening wondering up one side of the strip and back down there other. Gambled less than $100. All the casinos are connected by walk-ways.

I stayed underwater all night at the Hard Rock back in '95 because that's where the speakers were - didn't pay for a room though, just visiting.
Glad to help.

I stayed there for two nights in September. Not my kind of place at all but the room was great.

I'm surprised no one has told you to ask for Mr House yet ...

is anyone still selling inner tubes for £1? I remember planet x were a couple of weeks ago but they're £2 now...

These guys are just under £2.

Patches are much cheaper.

Ok I bought a second hand iPhone 6 to use with my existing Giffgaff sim. It kept dropping 4g signal down to E or GPRS. I thought the sim was to blame so ordered a replacement from Giffgaff, but it's still doing the same thing. I've done a hard reset, reset network settings, changed carrier settings to another network that doesn't run Giffgaff (runs on o2) and back to automatic and it still drops 4g after a few minutes.

I tried my girlfriend's vodafone sim and it seems to work fine so I'm pretty sure it's not the phone.

I've left a support ticket with Giffgaff but in the meantime does anyone have any ideas?

Doesn't Giffgaff run on another companies network? I wonder if the other carrier is prioritising their own customers?
I had a similar problem whilst on holiday and roaming which I solved by locking it to the one carrier who consistently gave me 3/4g but I don't think that helps here!

Yeah giffgaff runs on o2. I should have mentioned before that I bought the new phone because I broke my old one. The old one had a full signal all the time so it's not a problem with my location. I've tried locking to o2 but it still drops.

I've had the same issue with a giffgaff SIM, but with an HTC One. Something to do with how certain phones deal with network switching power-saving stuff I recall? Didn't happen with Three and never did fix it, just dropped giffgaff

Anyone in Ealing got a PS2 mouse or PS2 (male) to USB (female) adapter?

Seriously.

Let me have a rummage.

Might be down to the bands that your phone can use. Some networks (especially ones that piggyback) don't have many bands to use Your new phone may only be able to access a few of the ones available, causing you to drop off 4G.

You can get this one (or many alternatives) delivered tomorrow if you have Prime and order within the next hour or so.

Is this likely though? I'm not the only person with an iPhone 6 and giffgaff. Plus giffgaff sells the iPhone 6 themselves so if it didn't work........

No idea, was just a thought. Check GSMArena to see what bands your new (and old) phones could use, and google to see what GiffGaff use for their 4G.

I'm thinking about replacing my current frame (62cm seat tube c-c, 58cm c-c traditional horizontal top-tube) with something a bit more relaxed. I'd like to be able to sit up a bit more when riding round town and old frames like mine seem to be a bit on the racy side. What sort of thing could I look at that still can accommodate my stupidly long legs but also has a slightly higher front end? Other requirements are: horizontal dropouts/trackends for running fixed, space for 28mm tyres plus mudguards, eyelets for everything, and not pricey.
