turn the gas off and the flame oviously... open the casing, spray the area with fly and spider spray, and use a wie brush to lightly brush the pilot light area... wait an hour before re gassing and lighting

[Vilandra]

too much hassle, i sent to real estate agent an email. i dont have time to be spraying and brushing!

yeh bargainboard and the quokka would be your best options

better value going private, shops tend to crank up the price a fair bit, but on the upside they have to provide warranty too..

Seems pretty good for what you want it for - you'd possibly want more ram but that should be easy and cheap to get hold of and install if you decide you need more.

we had this. It turns out there was a slow water leak (one of the taps dripping constantly). Hot water systems shut off if there seems to be a constant water trickle thru the pipes. If we shut off the hot water at the hot water system it was all alright. With all yur taps off go to yur hot water system and turn the water valve on and off and see if u can hear the water flowing. THere should be no sound at all on as off.

[tiger tiger]

yes and i am trying to find them... help?

i posted about a page back moe, second hand laptop auction

ergh, wow this seems like an entire life ago, but when Paige and I used to live together ours would go out CONSTANTLY, we'd be standing out in the rain one in our underwear about to have a shower, freezing our bollucks' off, trying to light a god damn piolet light. I think it was the wind but I am not sure if we ever worked out out.. too long ago. Painful!

Dear Teknoscape, how come you don't remember me anymore?

You used to let me in automatically, but now you don't seem to recognize me and i have to type in username etc. every time.......

I tried a static IP address, but that didn't seem to work.

[j-mo]

Nope, i'm the only one who uses this computer.

I still log in automatically from my laptop, sharing the same modem wirelessly at work, and through my home wi-fi.

[hitmonlee]

[Halu]

TS,
should I buy a Wii?

I was going to buy one, boy was disgusted. Last time he was back we played sports sensored games on his PS3 that put our faces/bodies on the screen instead of crappy little characters, WAY better graphics than crappy Wii. I was offended at first but he was right. I'm buying a PS3. So handy for other stuff too - dvds, etc.

[musika]

just before we watched it we said "pierre likes this so it must be funny". you and i share an identical sense of humour

just one of those weird things hey

[bonnie0908]

I really know sfa about it, just thought it might be more interactive than the usual console, you know, from the ads.

just make sure you are at the back of the room then...

[tiger tiger]

dj horse:

glossy screens suck

also for refurbished that's looking sorta expensive :/

[saki100]

so... apart from the pilates making me fart... was the price ok?

[frogman]

I really know sfa about it, just thought it might be more interactive than the usual console, you know, from the ads.

it depends on what you want it for.

the wii is a party game machine. If you have a bunch of friends over and you want to have a good time and laugh and all that shit, grab a wii. It really is awesome.

PS3 is at the bottom of the console heap right now. price/performance ratio sucks nuts. Seriously. Its almost a grand.

if you have a friend who has a wii test it out first. A lot of the games dont have much single player replay value, but are awesome for drunken foolery at 3am with some buddies

[Nyx]

Cool, thanks frogman.
I'm not much for playing alone anyway.
