im not here to make money. i just want to re-coup what i spent and thought some of you peeps here might be interested. thats why i'm limiting the offer to these two groups. at the time of bidding for these they were the only ones of their kind on ebay so i bought the card full (couldnt buy just one or two) and i dont see the point in putting them back on ebay (more like cant be bothered).

Sounds like Fran has the same kind of adaptor I have. I can't remember the manufacturer but I bought it at PC World although I would expect it to be dearer from there. It's installed via a PCI slot, so you'll need a spare - I had to remove unrequired dial-up modem card.
Eh? Mine simply plugs into an existing USB port, without need of any installation or drivers. It then sits - because that's where it suits me - on top of my tower, waiting to receive whatever I fancy plugging in to it. I've still got a spare USB port at the back of the tower; however I never need to use it, because I've got four, which I never need all at once, sitting within easy reach. It cost about a fiver from Lidl; they're available now from places such as eBuyer for less than that incl. P&P.
Mine - a new one is called "USB 4-Port Hub" how imaginative ? Bought in PC World for about 20 quid AFAICR.

And a whistle blast travels further than your voice. You don't get a sore throat from shouting non-stop and you can keep blowing until you stop breathing (or your ears hurt more than your broken leg etc!).
Why does everyone think you may have broken a leg - how about a couple of busted ribs as well :-)....?

Sounds good to me. If the reply-to addy is genuine you have email.

Fran, i recieved your e-mail but you never gave me yours to reply to. i presume your addy here is invalid. i replied by mail over an hour ago and just this minute noticed the 'privacy.net' thing
Why bother? A whistle is a ..... Cheap as well, pence.
In my case I'm interested because of the ID paper inside them, on which medical info such as asthma can be recorded. -- Fran If you need my email address please ask.

Yep, the addy here is invalid; however I got your replies, so don't fret. I'll be replying soon :-)
Ah, Fran! Just the person I was looking for. I can't find the thread, but wasn't it you who bought some kind of USB adaptumajig recently to give extra slots for gadgets to plug into? Where did you get it?

Some say it's worse than blowing a seal ...
I have to say I've never blown a seal. Penguins, yes, but seals? yetisports.orgyetisports.orgOpen ↗ - goto play online or downloads. -- Fran If you need my email address please ask.

Not a certain note, but a set sequence of ' 6 good long blasts, stop for 1 minute and then repeat, carry on until people find you as the rescuers may be direction finding off your signals ' P 42 MRC Handbook 2002.
Its an internationally recognised signal, so perhaps not usless these

Anyone worried about this possible downside can test it out by kissing some [censored] in the frozen food dept of their local supermarket.
Is that where they hang out now? Someone had better tell my local Labour candidate, I understand his convictions for gross indecency were in the station toilets at Reading.

In my case I'm interested because of the ID paper inside them, on which medical info such as asthma can be recorded.
Which is useless unless the person who 'rescues' you has the bright idea of looking inside the whistle for medical info... which, I have to admit, is not something that would cross my mind. And, without stating the bleeding obvious, you'd have to be conscious to tell them the info is in the whistle, in which case you might as well just tell them the info! Or am I missing something very obvious (it's late, I've had far too much alcohol today...)?!?!?
Ah, Fran! Just the person I was looking for. I can't find the thread, but wasn't it you who bought some kind of USB adaptumajig recently to give extra slots for gadgets to plug into? Where did you get it?
Dunno whether it were me or not, but yes I have a 4-way USB adaptor. Believe it or not - but you probably will - I bought it in Lidl... ;-) You should be able to get one fairly cheaply in places such as PC World - not a bad place as long as you know exactly what you want, so you don't need to bother with sales droids, or have a look at www.ebuyer.com quick find code 56119 for a rather stylish looking hub that's a lot cheaper than I paid. -- Fran If you need my email address please ask.
