		<description><![CDATA[When I pay for my shopping at a staffed checkout in Tesco, I don&#8217;t have to tell the checkout operator what kind of card I&#8217;m using, be it a debit or credit card, etc.  I stick my card in the chip and pin machine, enter my pin, and the rest is handled by the clever [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been having a recurring problem with rechargeable batteries for our Xbox 360 controllers.  The batteries are included official Microsoft Play and Charge Kits, which include the battery and a USB charging cable.  It&#8217;s a nice idea; when your battery is running flat, you connect it to the cable, plug it into a USB slot on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anyone foolhardy enough to get me into a conversation about DIY will already know the stories about various bodge-jobs and shortcuts I&#8217;ve discovered, perpetrated by a past owner of this house. Yesterday I replaced the ageing heating thermostat (a rotary-style Honeywell) with a nice shiny digital one &#8211; a Horstmann Centaurstat 7, in fact.  It has quite [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am slowly coming to accept the fact that seemingly simple tasks are never quite as simple as they should be. I&#8217;m mainly talking about DIY, and home improvements. The latest &#8216;quick job&#8217; that turned out to be anything but quick, was replacing our side gate. We haven&#8217;t used it since we moved into the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve finally discovered why we&#8217;ve had so much trouble trying to get quotes for the work we want done to the house. We had a consultant from Southern Electric Contracting come over to quote on doing the electrics this afternoon, and it turned out to be a much bigger job than we hoped. Two weeks&#8217; [...]]]></description>
