Just looking at another thread today about the cost of solicitors and finding out that another member could probably have done the job cheaper and also finding out on that same thread another member does decking, should we not make a list of trades & services that members can provide to help each other out ?
I will start the ball rolling ie if you want any advice about jewellery , watches or clocks I'm your man .

Anyone out there could do my Tax returns :D

The job includes the obvious fixing computers and AV kit, running the networks, supporting staff use computers and AV kit. I also have to be a theatre technician twice a year doing sound and lights for two shows, and rigging sound for concerts at other times.
In addition to the DJing (mobile & club), I've done a fair bit of freelance type work lighting bands etc and also help at a local community radio station doing tech work and providing kit/DJ for outside events.

Except for my own, I try not to get involved in computers outside of work - their too stressfull:eek:

What make and model boiler do you have?
How old is it?
How long does the 'popping' go on for?
Does the noise gradually calm down when it's been on for a while?
Is it more of a 'knocking' than a 'popping' noise?

Potterton Prima- I know about the PCB issue which causes it to reset but I dont think its that.

It pops for about 30 seconds occasionally when it first comes on (timer kicks in) and then stops just as quickly.
