Any question answered...

Whatever settings my browser is using (Chrome) are shared by Firefox, and IE on this laptop, and my iPhone when it is on wifi- but not when my iphone is using the cellular data network.

As the tracert was successful, DNS doesn't seem to be the issue. As previously mentioned, it's probably just farsports blacklisting your IP :-)

I'm coming round to that point of view- I forget the name now but the same thing happens with another Chinese site that was linked to from WW.

I wonder if I share an IP address range with an anti-counterfeit organisation?

You really did ask them too many questions.

anyone know where I can get a load of these in London today? It's a 'snap fastener' or 'press stud fastener' as used on caravan awnings, boats and soft top cars. Generally camping supplies shops sell them, but i can't anywhere geeky enough, it's all millets and the like.

the screw isn't part of it, is it?
have you got the punch thing to fit them?

are they different to normal press studs - if not try haberdashers, John Lewis oxf st and Liberty, or the small places that do fastenings/findings in soho like Kleins.
maybe at that sailing supplies place on Shaftsbury Ave (Beale's? not sure of the name)

the screw is necessary, and would be handy as part of the kit, but yes I also need the punch to fit them. Haberdasher's don't offer the drilled version, and i don't fancy buying a load and then trying to drill them out.

Thanks, gonna try beal's

How to get rid of a woodpecker?
Little fucker is sitting on my chimney pot since yesterday and making unbelievable noise.
Any ideas?

Fire?

Elmer Fudd? Or is that the wrong cartoon?

Fire?
You mean fire a shotgun?
There's hardly any smoke coming through the chimney.

Klein's, 5 Noel St W1

Hi there guys!
I am planning to buy a Cinelli Vigorelli FF. Its used but in really good condition only ridden for some miles , and make it a fixie to move around London (only for rides I do not plan to lock the bike outside :P)

What do you think a fair price for it would be?

This is the actual bike!
In addition can someone recognise if the frame is 2011 or earlier?

thnx in advance.

i just got a selle smp dynamic. the stitching is very loud and far too bling for me. if i unpick the stitching will the saddle fall to bits? thought about boot polish but that will probably come off onto my shorts. any ideas folks?

Can you change the details of an ebay listing whilst its going on/finished.

I bought a pair of desert boots, which came in my clarks search - and bought them. But now it turns out that they aren't Clarks...

Who was asking about helmets?

Planet X, 50% off Kask.

How to get rid of Woody

Putting up a suet feeder won't get rid of woodpeckers, but it will probably distract them from putting more holes in ADAs home.

Put a suet feeder close to the area being damaged the most and slowly moving the feeder, day by day, away from that area until the woodpeckers become accustomed to feeding on the suet instead of your house. It has been suggested that keeping suet feeders out in extremely warm weather may inadvertently coat the woodpecker's plumage with suet, so keep an eye out for any damage the feeder may be doing to its patrons.

Not all my own work. probably rats will keep woody away

I dont like the idea of shooting woodpeckers, they're not endangered but still, far too nice to just shoot,

Flint's theatrical chandlers off Walworth Rd sell eyelet kits with punch and die included... see if these look right...

I tell you who are dull, Woodpeckers. If they're not smashing they're heads into a bit of wood then they're talking about themselves. Cunts.

What does everyone think of this torque wrench?

Good deal? I have too much crabon now, would like some confidence in the bolts I am tightening. I know the torque range isn't suitable for the cassette and cranks etc, just need one for everything else.

Cheers

Say a rock or something flicks up from gardener's mower and smashes my window. Should I expect them to pay or do I cough up for it myself?

Tough one. Its an unfortunate accident and its not like he was being negligent in mowing the lawn, unless its gravely or something silly like that.
I think if he was a decent bloke, he would probably pay up, if it happened to me, I like to think I would, as much as it sucks.
