I take it you've all watched the ' pre-episode'? Apparently makes a few things in this episode clearer. Oh - and Tom Baker first, Tennant second.

Two 510 adapters, 1 large and one small. Remove the inner center pin from the small one (leaving the rubber grommet intact) and attach it to the bottom of the large one, this way the firing pin runs through the first adapter to make contact with the second and allows you to screw the telescopic section of the GGTS down a lot further. This method will allow you to screw your tank all the way down flush with the gg adjustable draw lid so that you can use the airflow control I'll just add the following to Blakey's wonderful tip: Make sure that the firing pin goes through the grommet correctly. If you don't, the GG won't fire correctly. If you mount the first adapter (without the centre pin) so that you can see the firing pin clearly though the middle, then screw the larger adapter in, you'll make a clean contact. Using the continuity tester on your multimeter will confirm all's well. I had exactly the same problem when I tried Blakey's tip and figured it was the grommet.

Best of luck, and you could always go for a Sony I hear that the Sony Experia S will have access to an AOSP ROM (like Nexus devices from Google), including most if not all drivers too. That's a pretty sweet move I think. Edit: Added link

The question is is UK 4G going to be LTE tech? I do believe that it is. LTE means 'Long Term Evolution' and is a blanket term. The US has a different frequency to run 4G on (700Mhz I believe), so a phone in the UK wouldn't necessarily work in the US unless it had the appropriate coverage. There are a couple of articles on ' The Register' about 4G and LTE if you want further info. Edit: Added links

The UK OneX is an nVidia Tegra 3 quad core chip, and is unable to deal with LTE. The LTE models (XL) tend to have SnapDragon processors in them. I have the former. While you can root the device and use alternate ROMS, you are not able to gain S-OFF (for full control of the device), and getting that has been rather problematic. Personally, if I could swap, I would move over to the Samsung SIII which has none of these problems, and actually has a JellyBean ROM available for it now that works. I'm not best pleased with how HTC have 'limited' the One X, and this in turn has made me think twice about purchasing any HTC device in the future (even though my last 4 phones have been HTC). As an aside, I would be more than happy to get something WITHOUT 4G inside - I'd let the testers get it stable for the first couple of years and not pay the additional charges that are likely to be involved to boot. 3G (on Three) for me is plenty fast enough for now.

I bought one from Amazon, and it dead on arrived . Still waiting for the replacement item to come. Did you try changing the battery?

Sit a toilet roll on your desk, and put the LT in it. You'll have the added benefit of tissue when it's required.

Good idea Gordy - how about including a guide for vaping voltages against resistance - perhaps a little like the attached image? We would have to reproduce/correct that image as it was lifted from another site... Attachments:

Welcome back Blakey, guess you've browned off a bit now then?

Me and Gliclazide aren't best buddies, ended up on Metformin (which still gave me problems).
Warning: Whilst what I mention below is true - it is how *I* am affected, and would not necessarily work the same for you.
When I started smoking again, I noticed that I kept getting close to having hypo's. The doc said it couldn't be the Metformin, but I was convinced it was. I stopped taking them, and my sugars are now 'normal'.
Now, while I do not smoke, my vaping accounts for a similar amount of nicotine. I am now drug (as far as diabetes is concerned) and smoke free, and a much happier camper for it.
The doc, on the other hand, is still scratching her head as to how I am able to handle my sugar levels correctly now without drug assistance. Part of it may be the weight I lost (3 stone) when I started smoking initially, but that does not account for what is *supposed* to be happening with my pancreas.

Strange - I thought I'd mentioned my diabetes previously... (type 2). I'm vaping fine, and my past 3 hbA1c's have been 'normal'. I doubt the glycerine is affecting me at all tbh, so I'd not worry massively about it. Just keep an eye on your blood sugars and you'll notice any obvious changes, and adjust to suit. Note that if there is any liquid you'll pick up extra carbs from, it will be the VG - as it has fructose (or a derivative) in it. Hope this helps Ant.

Thanks Peekay, much better for your skin, I'm not a fan of citronella either though, I end up smelling like my kitchen floor That's just it though - you don't. It's a fresh musky smell that isn't too strong, so its suitable for blokes as well as the ladies. Trust me - I wouldn't wear the kitchen floor stuff meself.

Well, I can heartily recommend Avon's Skin So Soft product for reducing bites when out and about - doesn't smell too bad either. www.alternativeinsectrepellent.co.uk/The SAS also use it when out and about on manoevers wherever there's an insect problem too.

I now have a macbook pro. Fab apart from can't afford the update cos I lashed out on shiny things .... Nice choice, I also have a Macbook Pro - the Mountain Lion update is OK, but you really need to ensure that the programs you're going to use are fully compatible, and won't require a cost upgrade. Linux is also good, have been using a Linux Mint 13 VM and it's very responsive. A little ironic running Un*x on Un*x, but hey.
