Help me settle a family disagreement: If you have a cutlery drawer insert, I think everyone can agree that teaspoons and small odd things go in the front compartment, miscellaneous odd things go in the really long side compartment and then Knives, Folks and Spoons go in the other three. But what order do you load them? K-F-S, like a normal person, F-K-S like a savage (undertandable to a degree as thats closer to a place setting order), or some other abomination?

I have a memory of a children's book. It was about two boys who made a car from a wooden box and parts that they found. They called the car Fabian and it had a propeller on the front. Can you help me with the name of the book? It must have been published in the late 1970s or early 1980s. It was a paperback book, and relatively small. It wasn't very long, and each page was illustrated in a simple graphical style (block colours, no outlines) Due to the name of the car, it may have been translated from a different language, possibly French?

Jus that really. You've already checked your hold baggage, so what happens if you buy a large suitcase at duty-free before you board?

I've recently booked a hotel room via a well known booking website, for £69. It was a reasonably good price, but not excessively low (midweek, so not a high demand day) I've had emails both from the booking site and also the hotel themselves via that site, confirming the booking as expected. Today I had the following message from the booking site's customer service team:

"Dear xx, Greetings from Bxxxxxng.com. First and foremost, please accept our apologies for the inconvenience regarding the incorrect rate from the property We've verified that the accommodation has made an obvious mistake when registering their rates online, impacting your booking Xxxx. They would like to offer you the opti

As my one remaining parent is getting older, we are considering options for the future. At the moment they are able to live in their own home and don't need any assistance, but that may not last forever. One option we're considering is that we seel our home, they seem theirs and we invest in a joint property with a jkoned annexe so that they can live independently for as long as possible, but have us on hand to help out as needed.

I've come up with 2 possible financial pitfalls:

1. If they need to go into a care home, how will the local authority calculate the amount payable by my parent from their assets? Will this potentially mean we have to sell the property if we can't cover the paym

Hi, are there any hobby shops in Hong-Kong that are open on Sundays? I'm here for 1 day and want to see if I can get any bargains!

Hi all, I'm in HK for one day only and it's a Sunday. Are there any r/c stores that are open on Sundays?

I just completed my second solo flight today, 31 years after my first one! I originally learned with the Air Cadets (UK) and soloed at 16 but at the time couldn't continue with it. I have always wanted to go back and do more so at the start of the year I finally got around to joining my local club. After 40 launches and 9 hours 50 mins of instruction I've managed to do it all over again and it felt just as magical as it did the first time! There was a slight moment of unease as I came out of a 360 turn and couldn't see the airfield as it was up-sun and near sunset on a hazy day, but spotted it soon enough and made a decent landing to finish it off. Now I'm looking forward to building a soli

I've got an old ffb Pro joystick that I'm about to set up with the teensy to work with USB and newer Windows versions. I've found a power supply and plugged it in but the stick is completely dead. I'm sure I remember it powering up and centring itself even if the gameport is not plugged in? I did have to repair the power socket as the original has broken off but I'm sure it was OK last time I tried it. Has anyone got any insight they can share on this please? My ultimate intention is to use the electronics as the basis of a more realistic stick setup, but if it's dead it might be better just to pick up another one from ebay...
