10" adnroid tablet of choice is/was the Xperia Z thingy recently, when i looked over reviews. TechRadar/Gizmodo/Trusted Reviews give good info.

I used BeyondPod, and paid a couple of quid for the full version to get the extra functionality. You can still search for & import the itunes podcast link, that's how i got a few.

Yeah a little bit when it's got a new bag in it. It'll not the easiest to manoeuvre but it works well & that's what I wanted most.

My Sebo pulls itself along the carpet it's that powerful!

Miele as above, or Sebo equivalent, both excellent.

It's worth cleaning the fan(s) with a damp cotton bud as well, removing the built up dust helps them work efficiently too.

I cannot check the website linked by the OP, but basically using a gsm/3G antenna on the outside of a building, linked to an internal signal booster / re-broadcast device will work but legally you need an license to operate it. FWIW, kits are available on eBay for around £100 or so that will do...

Listen to motorsport magazine's podcast with Richard Noble from earlier in the year, astonishing what the lengths they have to go to to try & achieve perfection in every aspect of the project.

I have a netgear ReadyNAS duo 2, it is indirectly plugged into our broadband router via ethernet powerline adapters. I save music & films to it from pc/laptop, it's possible to also upload to it via IOS/Android apps as well. It runs DLNA software to broadcast music, photos & videos to...

Avery do MS Word templates for their labels, have a look on their website. Any use?

I think only pre-order comes with the China Rising expansion pack - one suggestion is that if you're going to buy Premium in order to get all future updates, you may be best off getting one without the C.R. expansion pack, so you don't end up paying for it twice. I don't know if post-release...

Yes, i got the 32GB one and still like it. Agreed, very few decent cases for them...

Nexus 7 or the new-ish Sony Xperia Z 10" http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/tablets/sony-xperia-tablet-z-1133193/review I like the few GUI/software bits Sony add to their devices compared plain Google devices. If you want Windows, the Surface Pro is apparently good also.

I think the auto-on/off only works if the TV supports CEC, which yours may not.

Tubs? Had some success sniping from rooftops

Having played it for a bit over a few nights, it seems i'm about as rubbish on it as I am on every other BF / COD game!

Apart from the fact that stealing somebody else's wifi without permission (implicit or implied, i.e. using it while at a cafe), is against the law - i'm fairly certain that the MAC address client filter will still stop you being able to use their network.

Only 3 miles from me, think i've seen it about with signs in the windows.

Just buy the THATCable ones for £5 & be done. Kick back & enjoy the HD goodness...

I did it online for my big Samsung TV, they met a competitor's deal which was cheaper and also included a blu-ray player. Winner!

Only problem with one of those for me is that they don't protect the front, so I went for a (cheesy vintage Union Jack design) full smart cover type instead.

I like my new one, but wish they'd kept the textured back panel, felt harder wearing than the new plain flat one.

You need the mic up near your head - it's easy to route under the headlining and can be discretely fixed near the rear-view mirror.

You could just get one of the Parrot BT/USB/Aux/ipod devices like the mki9200 (or a lower model with a smaller screen). I really like mine and it's a doddle to fit.

When you say the back of the stereo, do you mean your head-unit, of the blue parrot box? (assuming you have one of those kits)? The display does get a little warm with the brightness turned up. And some aftermarket stereos do get hot (some include include internal fans, they can get that bad!)

I may have to join this server this evening - i'm cack but still enjoy pratting about on it tho'.

Nope, and they're a right pain to try and fix - I broke one on refitting after successfully glueing back together. Was quite annoyed!

Make sure you've got a decent oil wrench, maybe one like this; http://www.screwfix.com/p/laser-oil-filter-pliers-50-114mm/38864 Chain-tool ones are rubbish, as i've long since learnt from experience, and pushing a screwdriver through to turn it will just end in tears....

So you didn't need mine then afterall?! (DL, ebay!)

If you can use a spare wireless router, use that and a pair of powerline adaptors. Disable DNS on the 2nd router, connect it to the main router using the powerlines. Then use it to broadcast a 2nd network (your choice to use same SSID network name or a different one) at the back of the house...
