Cut my Sky cable - can I fix it?
The ivy up the side of the house has been going mental, to the point where the Sky signal is coming and going, as the ivy engulfs the dish. So I've just been out with my pruning shears and accidentally pruned the Sky cable. How much of a disaster is this? Or like with ivy, will the pruning of the cable make the signal grow back stronger? Thought not

You need a coaxial coupler. EBay is likely to be your only hope I'm afraid. No idea where you'd get one these days on the high street

I wouldn't be using any couplers external to the house.
Screwfix have suitable cable and plugs - replace the cable.

Correct, any John's will just let water in, just as easy to replace the cableOriginally Posted by Stratmangler
Nah, bit of heat shrink on the top and it'll be good as new.

You have heat shrink.
Daft lad in Chorley isn't likely to have any.

I always smear outdoor cable joins with silicone sealant. Never had a problem.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
