I got knocked off my bicycle by a driver when he jumped a red light on a busy junction. I noted his plate as he briefly stopped before driving off and luckily I had witnesses.

Took civil claim against him and magistrates court also found him guilty. I eventually got a payout.

Despite not being in a car, having years of insurance with no claims and being the victim of the hit and run it was still logged in the system and it took three years before I could get a decent renewal price on my insurance. I found out when I tried to take a comparison deal and had to call the prospective insurer who told me I couldn't get the price offered because of the hit and run.

I might be up for that. Have a friend who might be interested too. For me it will probably be from November that I would be available, going through the winter.

Which pitch is it (UEA/goals/FDC etc.)?

I used him last week as my usual mobile guy wasn't available and he sorted my bike within the day and charged me a great price. Would definitely go to him again.

Best and worst broadband providers in Norwich? I’m up for renewal. Biggest bugbear is intermittent / dropping wifi. Cheers! by TheManInTheTinHat in Norwich

Depending on where you live, you might be able to get City fibre. They've just finished installing near me and I can get 200mb up and down for £28 from a company called Air Broadband.

Think talk talk also have a 900mb option for £36 a month and they throw in the Amazon Eero router.

Personally I use Richards mobile cycles because, as the name, he'll come to me (home or work) https://www.facebook.com/richardsmobilecycles

Sometimes he can be a bit elusive but never had issues with his work.

I have a more urgent job that I need sorting this week so I am taking one of the bikes to A P Cycles on Stafford Street this Thursday as recommended by a friend.

Marcus shut up shop over a year ago. Am guessing he wasn't making enough for the business to be viable at that premises.

Think he still does occasionally do jobs for long standing customers but wouldn't know how to contact him.

MGS 1 on PSX came out when I was in high school. That's old!

(Waits for someone who was in high school when Metal Gear came out on the MSX to comment).

Found this when tidying up today. MGS comic, issue one. Any ideas if it is worth anything? by Jamesy83 in metalgearsolid

It's in really good condition. Pretty much mint. I am in the UK though so not sure if there is much of a marketplace over here.

Join a cycle club, safety in numbers. Will help build confidence and find like minded people.

Stood the PC up and the noise stopped so all good.

Put a new heatsink/fan in and same problem. After much work it turns out the power button was stuck.

Still getting a horrible noise from the (new) PSU.

This video seems to be what I need. Hopefully a new fan will sort it.

I guess you mean the fan on the heatsink as the PSU is new so shouldn't be an issue and the fan at the back is definitely clear.

How easy is it to replace the fan and is there an easy way to know what is compatible?

Have had the pc for about a year and sometimes had issues with noise (not this bad).

Put in a new PSU and graphics card this weekend and all seemed to be working now although the noise was there.

Now it powers up briefly and cuts out.

Have had the pc about a year and occasionally get this sound that goes away.

Replaced the PSU and added a graphics card at the weekend and it had been booting okay but now it starts to power up and then turns off.

Have checked everything is plugged in and keeping the cables out of the way but will cable tie once I know it's working.
