Replace your boiler for FREE with the "Boiler Scrappage Scheme"

Upgrading your old G-rated boiler to an A-rated one should reduce your household heating bill by about a quarter - a saving, on average, of around £235 a year so in five years you could save £1,175, add to that the £400 rebate and that make £1,575, about the the price of replacing the boiler - FREE boiler after five years.

Problem when replacement motherboard default bios doesn't recognise upgraded CPU

I recently had to replace my Tyan Tiger MPX motherboard after many years of faithfull service, however I discovered that the new motherboard's old default bios would not recognise the upgraded CPUs now fitted and it would not boot.

Enable USB floppy drive FDD support on Tyan Tiget MPX

reboot and F2 into BIOS setup (may need to replace USB, RF or Bluetooth Keyboard with legacy PS2 keyboard)
| Main | Legacy Diskette A & B: Disabled
| Advanced | USB BIOS Legacy Support: Enabled (FDD will not show in BIOS screens until next boot!)
F10 Save and Exit,
To boot to USB floppy follow this extra step
reboot and F2 into BIOS setup
| Boot | use arrow and + keys to move Removable Devices | "USB FDD" to the top of the list
F10 Save and Exit,

(may need to try various USB ports before FDD is recognised)

Why do you need a PRS for Music licence?

What is PRS for Music?
PRS for Music (formerly the Performing Right Society or the Performing Rights Society as it is often incorrectly reffered to) is home to the world's best music writers, composers and publishers. Formed as The MCPS-PRS Alliance in 1997 with the PRS for Music brand adopted in 2009,  the organisation brings together two royalty collection societies; MCPS and PRS. Both organisations are ‘not for profit’ and only deduct a small administration/commission fee to cover operating costs.
PRS for Music exists to collect and pay royalties to our members when their music is exploited in one of a number of ways – when it is recorded onto any format and distributed to the public, performed or played in public, broadcast or made publicly available online.
