  • Where can I find a giant tarpaulin in the UK?

    I have seen pretty big ones at B&Q and homebase. These are 9 foot x 18 foot.

    I really need one more than double this size - preferably 50 foot square or something similar.

    Are there any specialist tarp shops in the UK? I'm assuming they must be used in the construction industry or in the freight industry.

    Any ideas?

    I'm going to use it for tarp surfing :)

    look it up on youtube!

  • How can I stop Data Execution Prevention (DEP) from not letting me open iTunes?

    I've tried following the prompts through the Advanced system settings and turning off DEP for iTunes.exe, but it then tells me that I can't turn off DEP for that program?

    Can anyone help me? This is driving me crazy. I haven't been able to use iTunes for over a month.

    I've also tried turning off both Norton and Windows Defender firewalls and intalling all the i-Tunes software updates, as well as uninstalling iTunes completely and reinstalling.

  • taxi from Bilbao to Biarritz?

    Does anyone know if there's a fast, cheap way to travel from Bilbao (spain) to Biarritz (France) late at night.

    My flight arrives at 10.30pm, so if anyone knows of a late night bus or train servivce, that would be ideal.

    Or even the names of the train or bus operators and their website?

    Alternatively, dos anyone know how much a taxi would be likely to cost?

    We'll have surfboards with us, so taxis would probably not be the best way for us

    Thanks!

  • Where can I get cheesy German pop music?

    I just got back from another ski trip in Austria and would like to find a CD or a download of all the cheesy German pop music that they play in the Apres Ski bars. It's always the same songs. Don't know who sings them, but here are some clues as to the songs I;m talking about:

    1.Du hast die harre shohn

    2.Viva Colognia

    3.The Ice Man song

    4.Joanna (du bist ein pig)

    5.the one that goes "g'dang g'dang, g;dang g'dang"

    6.the cowboys and indians one that has the dance with swinging lasso's)

    7.Another one with a dance and goes something like " I will swim. swim, swim, be as strong as a bear, bear, bear, etc)

    Any clues as to proper song titles, artist names and CD compilations that might have all of these would be much appreciated. I'm also trying to track down the actual german lyrics to these.

    I know it's cheesy, but I want to be able to sing along with them next time I go skiing or to Carnival in Cologne

    Danke!

  • Where can i watch the socceroos vs qatar football match in London this weekend?

    It's not on sky sports, and with the Euro on, I don't think even the Sports Bar near Picadilly is showing it.

    There must be somewhere in London to watch these important world cup qualifying matches!!!

  • Tony Hawk Underground?

    In the latest tony hawk x-box game, I'm stuck right near the start. Tony Hawk has set a challenge to do tricks on a sequence of objects without touching the ground in between.

    The first one is a 1/4 pipe up onto a roof, but the secont object is miles away behind me, down the hill and past the road construction bit.

    How do you get down there to complete the challenge?

  • What suburbs in inner Melbourne are most affordable?

    I want to buy a first home in inner Melbourne, but I've been living overseas for the last 2 years, so I have no idea which suburbs may have recently gone up in value.

    Want a house in a suburb that is still relatively affordable compared to its neighbours, but also close to the city.

    I guess I'm looking for a 2 bedroom property for the 280-350k mark that will hopefully be able to attract a decent rental income

    Suggestions?

  • WHat sort of skateboard should I buy?

    I'm not at all interested in doing ollies or any kind of kick flips or anything.

    All I want to do is pump around concrete bowls and do berts.

    I used to have a Natas board in 1989 which was a bit wider than the boards around today. Do I really need a 7.75" wide board with a kick at either end?

    Or would I be better off getting an old 80's style board that's 9 or 10 inches wide and has just one kick at the tail?

    Does wider board = easier to not fall off?

    I'm 30 and haven't skated in over 15 years, so I'm content to just pump and carve around mellow concrete parks like dogtown and z-boys

  • Whay can't I connect to x-box live?

    I've plugged my laptop into my x-box via the network cable. The laptop is connected to the internet via a wireless router, but when I test connection, it fails the IP address test.

    It says the console is unable to negotiate a lease with the DHCP server. Make sure the address is available on my server. What does this mean?

    What do I need to do to fix the problem?

    I used to have a different laptop, and that was able to connect without any problems. I also have a new housemate who may have done something to the configuration of the router

  • I'm stuck in Dead Rising (the xbox 360 game)?

    After you help Brad see off the psycho and then go and visit the old man, and then go and find Leah in the jewlwry store, how do you get her safely back to the security room??

    There are about 10,000 zombies in the way and it's a long way (and you also need to pick up sophie and protect them both from the bad guys outside)

    How the hell do you do this?

    Also, is there anywhere to save immediately after you beat the psycho?

    I'm sick of having to cross the park, find brad, beat the psycho, find the old man find leah, only to die trying to save sophie and have to do it all over again?

    Any tips please!!!

  • Dead Rising question (xbox)?

    Why is it that when I die and it gives me the option to save progress and exit, that the next time i load the game, I'm still the same level that I was and have the same clothes, except it starts back at the start of the game?

    I lose all my progress and have to do all the missions again. Do I need to make it back to the security room alive every time i want to save?

    very frustrated!
