Aberdeen Tyke

Today - thursday 26th June - at approx 20.30, i saw a train heading towards Abergele comprised of a class 66 ( i think) 4 coaches in Arriva blue, and a dead electric loco at the rear. What train was this. The Irish Mail with the dead loco and portion split at Crewe? Or some other.

I have downloaded a video from You Tube, and it is stored as a FLV file on my laptop via Windows Live Movie Maker. Could i transfer this onto a DVD writeable disc, and play the footage on my DVD player and watch it on TV? If so how?

In the event of combat, do you think a North Korean soldier would win hands down? They seem well disciplined and indoctrinated (similar to the Waffen SS) but with old Soviet armour. The US troops seem well equipped but hopeless in combat, and the British seems well trained, disciplined but hopelessly under equipped. What do you think?

How much should a front tyre lose over a fortnight? Is 1 - 2 psi acceptable?

Where can i find an exploded diagram of the brakes, and specifically pictures of the brake dust shield?

The car was stood for a month in mostly wet Scottish weather. Upon driving it i can feel a definite "pulse" through the brake pedal. The disks are not warped and there is little or no vibration through the steering wheel. At walking pace the brakes (front) appear to brake then grab, then brake in rotation with the wheel - hence the pulse at high speeds. Pad lining is 8mm. Any ideas? Halfords say the brake pads need bedding in again after the disks have rusted, but i'm not so sure.

I have a carrier bag full of pre decimal one and two shilling coins (5 and 10p equivelant). Where can i cash them in, or are they just useless and for the bin?

Some kids threw a small piece of gravel at my rear window causing a surface graze/chip of around 2 mm. The mark is not too deep but is noticeable. What is the risk of the window suddenly shattering bearing in mind the glass is toughened not laminated? If i left the graze alone would it be OK? Side windows also damaged but not too concerned at that at the minute.

Whats the name of that device opticians use to insert the screw into the spring loaded hinge on glasses arms, how does it work and are there any pics of it on You Tube?

My local Church of Scotland charges for its sunday service. How can this be right?

Is it normal on a heavy load for the cycle to take twice as long. The machine will not spin as the sensor detects the heavy load and compensates by a very slow spin, but the result is a 1hr cycle takes over 2 hours, plus the pump continually runs risking a burn out.

For example outer space. Can anyone explain how and why it appears to 'boil'?

So, do babies dream? If so what about? Dreams are based on memories of fact or image. As babies have no memory and cannot decypher images in a rational way, it seems to me that they cannot perform this act. But my daughter sleeps in a way that indicates dreaming.

A female aged 35-45, and a good looker would be nice. American. All applicants considered.

I was going through the channels on my TV and noticed another Chuck Norris film about the US in Vietnam. Now, this got me wondering. Why do the Americans go on about this war so much, and give the impression they won it, when in fact they lost it? Comparatively we British don't go on about the Falklands, a war we did indeed win, but have largely consigned to the history books.

How much weight can a 10mm chipboard shed floor take when raised on blocks/wood before snapping, and how long will it last in the British weather before it falls to bits?

Is it me or is the song suspiciously like Blackbird by The Beatles, and does the Apple Corps know this? Just a thought.

My cat will lick my face whilst purring loudly then gets carried away and gives me a nip. I realise that she's getting over excited but why the bite? And what would her mother do if she did this in the wild?

How easy is it to gain access via the road to Barnsdale railway tunnel, via Barnsdale Bar services on the A1? And how do you get to the tunnel entrance? Thanks.

I laid some self adhesive lino floor tiles in the kitchen on top of mdf boarding and now i want them up. They are leaving a glue residue on the boards. How do i get rid of the glue?
