    Splintering in pine floorboards

    Your best bet may be to do a small test patch in an inconspicuous area? Maybe trying a water based and and oil based varnish over the existing finish, you may get lucky and find you can apply over the top, which would be a cracking result and you'll owe me copious amounts of virtual beer!

    Splintering in pine floorboards

    Don't think you're going to be able to apply a varnish over an oil finish. My floors desperately need re-sanding. But I only ever did them with a hand sander about eighteen years ago! One or two patches are starting to splinter. This is happening where the varnish has worn away, so I'm...

    RECESTION ON THE WAY

    I imagine that the dreadful performance of pensions has a lot to do with high demand/prices. People have been looking toward investing in developing and buy to let as an alternative retirement fund. There are so many programmes on television now encouraging people to invest in developing with...

    Personallity transplant?

    It's funny how certain drivers seem to be 'cut-up' more than others isn't it? Strangely enough it's mostly women too... A young laydee I know is always at the mercy of bad male drivers... :roll: Truth of the matter is, some people can't drive for toffee, can't judge their vehicles...

    police + 160mph = ?

    I can understand and appreciate the need for training at these speeds, I have no problem with that. But to prevent misuse of the priveledge of such a position certain procedures should be implemented and I'm suprised that they don't exist already! Anyone requiring high speed driving training...

    Anyone up for a good old moan?

    On the whole telesales thing, why do sales people when phoning me at my house on my landline line ask me to confirm who I am? Sorry, but it's my fixed landline, why don't you confirm who you are!!! I tell them that I am not prepared to divulge that information. The other thing is, every...

    Shot across the bows....A Warning to heed

    Jasy, you obviously feel very passionate about this topic. I'm interested though, hypothetically, if you were in the postition of Judge, Jury and executioner - how would you treat the two people in the above scenario? Would you treat them differently? Further more, I think we have had it...

    being a soldier.

    You could have understood the military being sent in to prevent the genocide that was being carried out on the Kurds, but I don't ever remember ever hearing any media coverage about this at the time? (if there indeed, was any?) 'Fight for your country' seems a little outdated these days...

    UKIP party political

    They'll probably be trying to stem the flow of illegal European immigrants leaving Europe trying to find jobs in India, etc. seeking a better way of life what with the high standard of living, high wages and first rate social and health services... African countries will be fast developing...

    Shot across the bows....A Warning to heed

    Hi Felix, I did mean implanted in the person. The thought of this kind of technology fills people with horror, now. But in the future I think that this sort of thing will be just a matter of course, to prevent fraud etc. No signatures, trying to type in your pin number without that greasy...
