    Still wondering how I'm going to get rid of a 26" ctv and a 21" monitor.

    I think I'll buy a truss.

      Do an Elvis!

      Have you tried shooting at the CRTs?

      Lots of little pieces...

        So sounds like you're talking about farts

          I've had one sat in the garage for 9 years. Never got round to getting rid of it because nearest tip is 20 miles away.

          Did think of wrapping it in a sheet and dropping a slab of concrete on the tube. But knowing my luck...

            The jump starter arrived yesterday and has been charged overnight. I may not get time to give it a try today. Torn between taking the car up to my local garage or taking it back to Kwik Fit.

              Don't connect the crocodile clips to your nipples.

                Wise advice, from experience?

                  I would take it back to Kwik Fit, they should have performed some checks before selling you a battery. They should've checked the alternator performance - it takes about 2 minutes for them to do this. If they identify that the alternator is at fault they should refund you the money you spent on a needless new battery - then go to your local garage and ask them to fix the alternator.

                      The safe way to remove the vacuum is to knock the nipple off the base of the tube.

                      Smashing the faceplate is A Really Bad Idea.
