Looks like it but it would be easier to cut off that two pin plug and fit a normal three pin plug to the lead. Just leave the earth connection in the new plug empty. Unless of course you want to keep the two pin plug?

[MLP James]

Oh, didn't know I could do that, thanks.

No worries.

Just noticed your other post where you say the lead is for a shaver. You can still do the three pin plug thing if you want but what you actually need is a shaver adaptor.

Can anyone tell me how much i'm expected to pay for the repair? It's out of warranty.

£40

I've just made enquiries at a local repair place... and this is to fix a button. I shouldn't be surprised. Gonna check ebay and gumtree.

[Rocket Spud]

Yea, tis common ... Crappy Apple

That website looks very useful, but i can't find a power button repair for my specific nano :/ I'm looking all over atm. I found a great DIY instructional ... cba though

I need a bday card (for my niece) and wrapping paper: can i get these things from a pound shop?

Fed up with paying £4 for a poxy piece of card from a corner shop.

[Focused]

^ Wrapping paper I'm pretty sure you can, don't know about bday cards. Yeah its not so good buying a quality card for kids when all they look for is some money inside it

[Rocket Spud]

My thoughts exactly. She's 2yrs old, so the card doesn't have to be fantastic, but i still need one.

I almost wrapped the present in xmas wrapping turned inside out. Almost.

[Focused]

^ good job you didn't, your sister or bro would of probably thought that was really cheap of youlol

[Rocket Spud]

Hahaha, yeah, definitely!

I didn't even buy the present - it was bought for me, i gave them the money. It's like they didn't trust me to buy something of worth. I'm a nightmare with bdays and xmas though. I'm not very thoughtful... bit up my arse, really. I find these occasions more of an annoyance than anything else.

I blame it on SA.

[Focused]

^ hehe, as long as the present sorted now . I struggled myself over Christmas to choose gifts for the kids and opted to giving some of them money instead.

I don't view anyone as ugly as everyone is unique and that uniqueness is beautiful. World would be boring if all the same.

One of the MFI operatives sitting in a van monitoring your calls forgot to turn his pager off.

^ I googled it but everything about it seems so fake.

Plus, the fact that she looks about 15 is a bit of a give away.

My head isn't working. If I were to say "the correlation indicates a strong tendency for a decreasing amount of 'x' to be experienced by participants the more they 'y'", am I implying causality? Because I don't want to, yet feel as if I am.

How regularly should I have my hair cut to maintain the same length?

A male chicken is a cockerel, Floppy. They don't lay eggs.

Is £250 too much for a pair of cycling shoes?

[Indigo_]

^ Do they help you to cycle faster? Or make the bike take off into the air?

Yes. I've never understood the point in cycling shoes if you're not racing. What's wrong with trainers? And don't get me started on those idiots that wear full lycra kit just to cycle to work

[ghost.of.an.englishman]

is it okay to use mustard oil in cooking? I hear conflicting things.

I don't think many companies make standalone mp3 players anymore, at least not with a decent capacity. Don't you have a phone you can put music on? If not looking on ebay for an ipod classic would be the best option I reckon.

^ Ipod shuffles are good - I never leave the house without mine (uses iTunes) and they are good to clip to your coat or bag or whatever.

^ Are you ok Joe?

Can you tell me about a time when you successfully led a team?

[flumpsy]

Up until a few weeks ago I was a team leader of 3, totally out of my comfort zone all the time which is part of the reason I got out. Faking confidence and then when I am on my own reflecting on every little reaction to my choices and rethinking over and over if I made the right choice and if I conveyed it confidently. It really took its toll on me.

Not for me. I think I did a good job but so much effort. Short term perhaps but long term, no.

I just twigged from your other post, you didnt actually want an answer
