What do you call a bus-load of lawyers driving off a cliff?

To be fair I used the 'turn the key HARD' version which does at least need the right key

Nooooooooooo not like that, wont work anyway
Need a long piece of wire and put a small u shape on the bottom, slide it down the outside of the door glass near the button, between the glass and the rubber strip. Slide in down and then move everyting towards the door lock, there is a bar you need to hook on, you can just about see it, hook, pull up and door will unlock....
Woohoooooo....the old brute force wins again. Battery out and on charge, just means I get up at 5:30 instead of 5:45 so I can put it back in. Only for a miggie would I do this....

IT'S NOT FAIR......booked the miggie in to have the thrust washer done and went out to clear all the junk out and I can't get in!!!!
Remote won't work so I presumed the battery was flat but the key won't open the door either. The key turns but the button doesn't move.
Help!

Agree that Wogan was about the only thing is Eurowhatsit that was worth watching it for (although the Finns Lordi came a close second) and it was obvious from his comments last time that he wasn't going to continue.
Only problem now is that another Saturday night I could hide up in my office playing games on the PC has gone

Would assist with hardware but the only HP kit is my current PDC :-/
Other than that I have an old Dell 420 which I was about to skip....still trying to justify the replacement for the PDC so I can do some of my shared computing stuff but the other half might notice. If it happens then it is up for grabs but no queue just yet
That wouldnt be Dell Precision 420 would it??
Might be interested in the proc's in it and or memory if so
Will PM you the full details once I get back home....fortunately it is still sat in my office waiting to be dealt with.

depending on cost of the work isnt it just going to be easier and only maybe a little bit more expensive (maybe even less) to get another gearbox?
Ummm....when I said I was useless, I really really meant it. Back in the dim and distant past I could maintain my motorbikes with no problem but while I understand the concept of a thrust washer, I've never met one and wouldn't even know what colour it should be. The only maintainance I am capable of doing at present is 'side of the road' stuff and as with all things, the less you do it the less capable you are next time around.
Would be nice to know typical prices for both but in either case it would need 3rd party TLC to get it done if I ever wanted the miggie to run again.
