I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the meal, shame about the company, only joking! I thoroughly enjoyed myself even though I'm younger than your kids. Conversation was constantly flowing. And I'm now a walking encyclopedia on calculators and crappy radios. I look forward to the next meet and greet!

I've seen the advert for the heated foldable airer. It's cheaper than a C rated tumble dryer, hmm, small print catches alot of people out.

I need help guys, my daughter has got a PC built by my son but no images are getting to the monitor. We've swapped graphics card and power supply to match the the graphics card. But still nothing coming through. I've swapped hdmi cables, HDD etc to rule out any issues. What am I missing!!??

Hi Ryan, can you confirm the monitor is working by connecting a different source? :)

Ah right, First thing to check is the interboard ribbon cables between the mother board and graphics card and output port sockets. Is it a discreet graphics card or plugged into the motherboard? :)
