    Oh, it’s all going to end in tears! 🙁

    The double-sided tape and any air gap around it will act to insulate heat rather than conducting it into the airflow of the fan.

    At least, that’s what it’ll do until the tape loses adhesion and your fan obeys the laws of physics – as mentioned above by Frank.

    Honestly, mate, this is almost the very worst way that you could have gone about it.

    Good job it’s not the fan cooling your CPU after all, otherwise you’d be in real trouble sooner or later.

    When we find ourselves in a situation where almost as many people vote to keep people on (or chuck them off) a TV programme as take part in a General Election, where many voters don’t actually understand our electoral system (eg, I voted/didn’t vote for Gordon Brown) and where PR gloss and spin have taken the place of integrity and responsibility, then it’s clear that we’re in a right bloody mess.

    If you believe, as I do, that in a democracy we get the quality of government we deserve then what does it say about us?

    Can we please return to the original subject of the thread, and leave sub-apocalyptic fantasies about the eradication of nations and peoples that individuals happen to dislike for another time and, preferably, another place?

    Thank You

    Strange to relate, that kind of collective amnesia always afflicts a party when it moves from Government to Opposition in the UK, and apparently it gets more acute the longer the party spent in power.

    It happened with the Tories in 1997, and it’s happening with Labour now.

    They really are all as bad as each other.

    They may as well rename themselves the Hypocrite Party…

    You could make that suggestion to all of our mainstream parties. It is sheer folly to pretend otherwise.

    ‘Labour?’, ‘Conservative?’, ‘LibDem?’…. just labels for self-interested gangs, mate.

    I think you’re possibly missing something from the end of that statement? Like, it tastes bloody awful ‘to me’? 😉

    “…bloody awful to anyone whose tastebuds still function”, surely? 😎

    If you want to taste proper coffee, try one of the little Italian cafes on and around Victoria Street in London. Sheer nectar! 🙂

    If you don’t like them, don’t click on them.

    Seems simple enough to me.

    Think yourself lucky – some of us have to read every thread. 😮

    Does it matter?

    You’ll know which aircraft it is when you board it, Tommy.

    This thread has run its course now, I think.

    I was waiting for someone to post that.

    I thought I’d end up doing so myself…… 😀
