EOTS just dropped new merchandise in the webstore, but I'm confused why there isn't a cheaper shipping option for Euro/UK fans.

I wanted a t-shirt sent to me in the UK, they are charging $65.35 for the privilege. Is there a closer to home official merchandise link I'm unaware of?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm based in Southbourne and need to find a reputable locksmith to help repair/replace an old bedroom door lock.

The first one I contacted (with a lot of positive reviews on Checkatrade) hasn't even bothered to reply, so not the best start.

Please let me know if you've had a good experience with a local business - much appreciated!

Hi all,

I'm sure this question has been asked before. I used to have no problem recording audio with Audacity via my Windows PC. Now, my Macbook won't seem to allow it - the only host available is 'Core Audio' with Macbook microphone/speakers.

Is there a trusted tool I can download to help record the internal audio?

Thanks for any help!

Hey all,

I used to have a PS3 and of course Skate 3. I now really want to play it again.

Rather than having to buy a beaten up second hand PS3, is there possibly any other better way in 2026 to play it? Is there a latest PS/Xbox model which will still run a Skate 3 disc?

Thanks!

Thanks for listening

Hi,

I would like to change the first part of my icloud email address, I wonder if this is possible?

Example:

from "this_bit"@icloud.com to "that_bit"@icloud.com

Or... do you basically have to delete your apple account entirely, and create a whole new one?

Thanks!

So there’s currently a mouse (or more!) that’s found its way into my kitchen via the walls. It mainly runs around at night in the kitchen. I’m located in the UK.

I haven’t found any obvious signs of droppings or urine in the cabinets or on the floor as of yet, but one thing for sure is that I’ve seen the mice run across the countertop, and some of my belongings in the kitchen.

I’ve set some human traps with peanut butter bait on the ground which they seem to be avoiding.

My question is - how concerned should we be if house/field mice are making contact on countertops / floors / items? What are we meant to do if this happens? Is every little thing just automatically contaminated with an infection waiting to happen? It’s stressing me out!

Thank you

Hi all,

I have a load of old stuff (buckets/plant pots/broken chairs/small faulty electricals etc.) that I'd like to get to the nearest tip (I live in Southbourne), though I'm not sure if the amount would still be enough for hiring even one of those mini tips. I'm not able to drive.

Is there such a thing as a local service where someone would collect and dispose of it down the tip for you? If so, could anyone here recommend a name? A man and a van who does that kind of thing?

Obviously not someone who would just fly tip it!

Thanks!

Recently I started to hear scrambling movement behind my kitchen cabinets and oven. Then, the mouse crawled around the ground and hid again. I didn’t notice any droppings/urine around.

In a bit of a panic, I didn’t know how to capture it and I didn’t have any humane traps. I was then advised to fill a bucket with melted butter (I absolutely covered the inside with the melted butter using a paint brush), attach a ‘ladder’ (used a small pillow), and drop a bit of food inside (used cheese and peanut butter). To be honest I didn’t think it would work.

In the morning and to my suprise, the mouse was inside. It was absolutely soaked by the butter, and it was trying to hop up. Initially I just assumed it was a house mouse, but then I read that if they hop with their larger feet then it’s a field mouse?

Anyway, it was caught but I kinda felt bad how it happened. It would have been in that bucket for a few hours - it absolutely stunk or gone-off butter/cheese by the end of it. I had to get rid this unlucky mouse and dispose of the grim bucket.

It was suggested I just let it free in the garden, but I thought it would just easily get back inside? So instead, I walked to the nearest park with a sort of woodland bit - google tells me it’s roughly 0.4 miles from my house. I let it free on the woodland bit.

Then I read that mouses can easily find their way back unless you release them at least 3 miles away! The last thing I want is for this butter-soaked mouse back inside my house. I know it seems a bit cruel with the butter technique, but I had no idea what to do. I’m now aware of humane traps.

Basically, do you think it would find its way back from 0.4 miles?

Thanks for reading.

Hi all,

So I recently posted a question in here regarding the recommended power rating when purchasing a new electric shower. I posted a picture of the fuse board (below) - the overall advice was to stay at 7.5kW.

As I went on to seek out a qualified electrician for the installation, one reputable company viewed the photo of the fuse board and replied:

"Having reviewed the photograph of your consumer unit, the shower circuit appears to be protected by a Type AC RCD. Current regulations require a Type A RCD for shower installations due to the presence of DC residual currents that may be generated by modern electrical equipment. To supply and install a new Hager Type A RCD, our charge would be ...".

I am obviously in no way doubting their expertise on the matter as I'm no electrician, though I wanted to ask about this here (replacement of this switch is charged at a couple of hundred). Does this all sound like a standard procedure/regulation now especially concerning our fuse board? Is this fuse box quite old?

If I was to progress with this before a new electric shower, would that mean I could potentially purchase a higher rating?

Thanks again!

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend to me a window replacement company in the Bournemouth area that you may have used before with a good experience? (I’m located in Christchurch). We have a small window that needs replacing - so far the quotes I’ve received are way too expensive for the job, but I must keep searching! I’ve received quotes already from Restoration Glazing and Boyland.

Thanks for any help!
