A 100 years ago people lied about their age for the opportunity to go to war and defend their country, today they would hide under the duvet with their smartphones crying they are being victimised :LOL:

Better that going to prison which is just a crime training camp, some people might even discover a career in the military. Plus with military service they can be head of the queue for conscription, then they can try their knife skills in the theatre of war.

Military service should be a sentencing option for some crimes such as carrying knives, it would keep them out of prison, plus they might learn something worthwhile. Or maybe a bit like speeding, where you get the option of an education course, with no points and no record, maybe minor crimes...

She was treated respectfully, I was expecting to see her dragged off by her ankles.

You won't have to spring it more than 2cm once the nut is undone, obviously if you find you have to force it too much stop but you should easily be able to take that out as one lump especially if you undo both nuts. Those pump nuts will take some shifting, not worth it unless you are forced too...

Let me give you a little tip, don't even bother trying to undo the big pump nuts, there is no point. Instead make up the new pump with the two new pump valves using the rubber washers that come with the pump instead of the fibre washers that come with the valves. Next take out the whole...

Hi Kevin, Thanks for the reply about the service situation of my sprintV. Do you have any Evo 2 reconditioned bare units for sale? I think I need to do something soon. Many Thanks Anthony.

I have built a kitchen ext and at the same time continued the glass roof of the conservatory over the top (walls are brick cavity). The wall between the conservatory is single skin brick which I now need to insulate on the kitchen side. I will batten off and fix kingspan but have two...

Thanks for that woody. Yes BCO wants to see it before I cover it up which is why I don't want her asking for fire protection as I wont be able to retro fit it. She will only be able to see it from the outside but she will be able to see the bearing and the SE has said no pad stone needed.

Just need some advice. I have just cut out a 3.4m section of the back wall of my house to take two 203x103 UB. Once in I will not be able to access the inside as they are at joist level and right up against a joist (joists parallel with beam). Do they need any form of fire protection or...

Thanks for that grahama, I knew fillaboard was wrong, would have been easy though. pinenot. its internal to stop bridging between slab and inner leaf. last time we used 25mm polystyrene, I was not sure what the latest requirement was. 25mm kingspan it is then.

Hi Just a quick question, whats best to use around the perimeter of the slab? I got 100mm kingspan under slab and ask Trvis perkins for some perimeter insulation and they delivered: FILLCRETE EXPANSION JOINT FILLABOARD STRIP 12X100X2440 I thought fillaboard was only for expansion...

Many thanks, I think I would rather go for an external quality wall incase the conservatory ever came down. FMT gave some good advice here: //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=233260&start=0 I will chat it through with the BCO when she checks my base.
