It cannot hurt to have it disabled, I cant see why you are so against it Gareth. It's just another Hurdle for a potential hacker to get over. Hide your SSID and enable encryption (WPA, not WEP - WEP has been cracked before). And then you have to hurdles to get over before someone can get into your network. The more the better IMO.
