Something seemed to snap when I depressed the handle. Nothing seems obviously broken but the handle moves up and down with no resistance. It is an old cistern, the type with a ceramic siphon. The nearest image I could find is http://andysworld.org.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2... the handle is at the front of the cistern. Any ideas?

I have a young friend who has never received a tax return. I discovered this by accident when I reminded her she needed to get her tax returns in by the end of the month. Of the five years she has been out of full time education, she has only been employed two.

She genuinely was ignorant about the need to submit a return, assuming that the Inland Revenue would send one out.

What is her legal position and what are the likely penalties she might face?

I have discovered that Bill Frisell has produced a soundtrack for three Buster Keaton movies - Go West, High Sign, and One Week, produced by Songline/Tonefield Productions, released 2009

I cannot find any trace of it on the web. Any ideas where I might get it?

What do those of you who have this system to elect government think of it? We are to have a referendum in this country asking if we should change the system.

I have Vista and a DVD drive. When I load my home recorded DVD Vista regards it as empty, presumably not recognising the files. Any ideas what is going on and how I can fix it?

My son's bank account has been drained again by somebody else who has diverted it to their own account. He went straight to his local branch of the Halifax and got no help just a lot of 'I can't answer that's

What are his rights here? Will he get his money back?

I am thinking of buying a Belkin G Wireless ADSL Modem Router with Easy Set Up & 54Mbps Transfer Speed (F5D7634uk4-H)

What type of wireless I need? I understand I need one with same speed. Does that mean 54Mbps?

As I am on a home network, do I need a wireless network card?

A newbie, want to talk to someone who practices.

A certain leading supermarket is arguing that because Christmas falls on a weekday, it should be treated like a weekday not a bank holiday. If it can wangle this, staff can be required to stop right into Christmas Day itself to ensure the shelves are full for Boxing Day trading. Staff will be paid at the ordinary rate of overtime.

If this very large company gets away with it, the others are bound to follow.

What do you think of this?

Since a lightning strike, the land line has been erratic. She has been given several numbers, and no improvement. As she relies on the phone and the internet for her home business, and this has been going on for some time, she is suffering serious financial loss. What are her rights here? Complaining does no good.

I have Vista Home Basic, my ISP is Talk Talk, 1GB RAM and an Athlon processor (2.70 GHz). The computer is a Fujitsiu-Siemens, only six months old and I do make sure to check for updates.

Three times now my computer has crashed while using i player, two of those while watching same the downloaded programme in one hour.

On another occasion this happened while watching a streamed video from another site.

Any ideas? I am very reluctant to use i player now, because each time, the computer refuses to start again. Fortunately, if I wait an hour or so, startup repair usually works.

Radio seems fine (luckily because I love listen again).

Twice now I have had a blue screen appear on start up, advising me to shut down and saying that the problem is either a newly installed driver or software. I used Device Manager to try and diagnose the problem It brought up an 'Other Devices' message,and pointed me in the direction of RAID controller. Is this likely?

I installed a new keyboard a week ago and Libra (database software which often crashes)

Henri and his girlfriend plum meet an old schoolfriend of his on their way to their holiday cottage.

Henri is a bit too helpful, and turns out to be obsessed with the poetry the friend wrote at school. He begins to get rid of anyone he thinks is stopping his friend from writing.

The plot is that two old school friendss meet, one is Henri with his girlfriend (Plum) and the other is on his way with his family to their cottage in the country. Henri appears friendly and helpful, but soon his admiration for the poetry his friend wrote at school gets out of hand, and he takes drastic measures against those who dislike it. It is a dark comedy.

As far as I can tell the ingredients are lentil ground into flour and baking powder and water to mix. Yes I know you can instant mixes but fancied making my own.

Okay, can do this with the stuff I have recorded, but hit a snag with bought videos because of copyright protection. I have a machine which dubs video to DVD and the computer with Nero on board. I have some treasured old videos - the old BBC version of Pride and Prejuidice for example, I would like to transfer.

Any hints?

I am looking for recipes to use up a pound of chili peppers I bought and being a chili wimp, was thinking of making a ketchup.

Any ideas?

I am on network with my daughter in same house.

She has just bought a new computer with Vista pre-installed. It connected to a LAN connection that she didn't ask for it too. She also can't connect to Pipex, and is thinking it might be related to the LAN she connected to she disabled the LAN but afterwards she still couldn't connect to Pipex. I'm still getting Pipex fine though, the internet speed is completely normal on my PC but with this LAN connection on my daughters PC the connection speed is very, very slow.

US scientists warn the "dust bowl," a Depression-era environmental disaster that drove 500,000 people from the southwestern United States, may soon return.
