    Labour thug jailed.

    He may have got away with the single punch as a self defence reaction, but it was the multiple punches whilst the chap was on the floor which did it for him. Silly man.

    Extend my fridge warranty (?) (Ed.)

    There is also a disposal charge for old fridges due to legislation now mandating the recycle of its gas. Scrap merchants not interested for that reason.

    Slow emergency services responce

    All exits amazingly blocked and nobody could get in/out?.......hmmmmmm.....the expert soap 'advisers' were probably biting their tongues seeing the 'literal licence' being applied to drag out the storyline.

    Home insurance and self door closers loft

    One of the assumptions made by my house insurer on renewal states "House is maintained". An easy get out clause by them to refuse payment if house burns down and doors are found to be not working correctly or defective.

    Tree Dust

    Hi All My eucalyptus tree has been felled and stump ground out. I now have a large pile of eucalyptus tree 'dust'.....too small/fine to be considered as chippings. Can it be put to any use in the garden? Cheers Doug

    Starmer's nuclear plan

    The UK has been commissioning small/compact nuclear reactors for decades (RN Submarines). The commissioning of civil reactors is a natural step towards a carbon free national grid.

    Masking Film

    Hi All When painting my house exterior I intend to mask up my doors and windows. I have noticed online masking film which has been "pre taped". How does this work? I assume when I cut it to length, the sides will be taped so will need my own tape to seal top/bottom? The rolls seen are 25m x...

    One brave journalist.

    The press conference was apparently televised live. It would be interesting to know whether Steve's questions and the responses were fully transmitted.

    Cracks in Render.

    All the survey will say is "Unable to comment on possible structural damage as wall is rendered and brickwork is inaccessible." :evil::evil:

    Nigel Farage admits his election promises were bogus

    Basically, Farage has stated what he NEEDS to do to turn this country around and as we approach the next general election, he will be saying HOW he will do it. A no brainer........move on!

    Peace has broken out.

    It will only take some breakaway militant to lob a couple of rockets into Israel to kick it all off again.

    Hi All I am about to paint my external walls using pliolite paint. This is the first time I have used this type of paint and notice it is quite thick compared to water based paints. The concern I have is the use of rollers. My walls are previously painted pebbledash and aiming to use a long...

    Painting Exterior Walls in Winter

    Application of pliolite paint requires surfaces to be dry. But how about damp conditions? Forecast for Jan/Feb is cold and wet. Any non rainy day will still be cold and damp. Unfortunately cannot wait for spring/summer as my scaffold is due to go up in the next couple of weeks for solar panels.

    New floor and house insurance rules

    House insurance includes a cost for the total rebuild of the buildings. If your new flooring does not up the cost beyond that already insured, I assume you do not need to inform the insurer.

    Epson XP-530 Error

    When printing a 13 page document, the printer stopped and juddered a couple of lines. It then emitted a short grinding noise as if a gearing wheel was turning on a seized shaft. Printer then displayed error code Fx01 A quick look does not identify any jammed gearing/mechanism. Paper is all...

    Poor kid

    I listened to the full sentencing brief by the judge today which took over an hour to deliver. The details of the torture which the parents administered was shocking. But once again lessons have not been learnt from previous similar cases. Social Services will no doubt claim overworked...

    Eucalyptus Tree

    Several branches came down during the storm and there was worryingly a significant movement of the trunk. All three arborists who came out to view the tree (before the storm) confirmed a polarded eucalyptus would struggle, so have decide to remove it completely.

    House Buying Saga - Am I Making a Huge Mistake?

    There is no shame in pulling out as all purchases are usually 'subject to survey'. If you want the property, it would be logical to seek a price reduction to meet the cost of work identified by the survey.
