    Farage is interfering in foreign politics

    All "democratic" governments around the world should be interfering in US politics. Whoever governs america affects and influences the whole world. An awful lot of the retoric coming from the orange idiot's gob is inflamitory towards a lot of governments including our own bad as that is. Of...

    Not For EU

    Having lived in Germany for a number of years a while back I reckon their milk is ****e. Ours is way way better especially that that comes from Jersey cows.

    Covering toilet waste pipe outlet hole

    Judging by the looks of that hole whoever installed that toilet couldn't be bothered to do a tidy job. I don't think that collar would cover all of that hole but it would, I suppose, make a very untidy job a bit neater.

    Salt reduction in UK food

    F**K to them telling me what I can eat or can't eat and whether I have to have a jab for a complete scam. I'll eat what I want when I want and if I think it needs more salt or more anything for that matter I will lash it on regardless. I'm 74 and I have to die of something. We come in to the...

    Acceptable gas leak???

    Personally, and I'm no gasman, I wouldn't allow any gas leak to remain. I suppose a difference in the readings of the fancy gadget (a manometer I think it's called) they use to test the gas pressure could be labelled as acceptable by someone who knows but I would be very concerned. The last time...

    Freeview Play Issues

    Go to ch 100. Click the various program providers at the top. Choose your particular program and click it (That's OK on your remote). Sign in and watch. I have found that some advertised programs on the home screen are not actually there when you log in to that provider.

    Log burner missing joint?

    Limited knowledge on log burners although I owned and maintained three of them on various narrowboats that I have owned. It looks to me as if the flue pipe is the wrong diameter for that fire and someone has tried to bodge it by filling the gap with cement and that is coming apart. There are two...

    Hitachi circular saw, got wet, what now?

    It may have a brake that is preventing it being turned although I've never had a circular saw with a blade brake. I would spray liberal quantities of WD 40 into it and let it sit for a couple or three days and see what happens. The rusty blade can be removed and cleaned up with emery cloth or a...

    What sort of radiator valve is this?

    The top bit but be careful. If the valve is jammed you could break the spindle off and that could cause all sorts of wet havoc.

    New track saw blade.

    Another vote for Saxton. Chipboard, MDF and that other rubbish stuck together wood that I cannot remember the name of (OBS or something) does play havoc with circular saw blades blunting them quite quickly.

    What sort of radiator valve is this?

    they are adjustable you need to get a spanner on the flats on the spindle. Looking at those though they could well be stuck open. they are standard lock shield valves, or at least that one is.

    How much space required to left of radiator?

    I would just leave it for teh plumber to sort out. Bearing in mind that the valve will have to be connected I would say that that is too close.

    Red pipe, blue knob leaking under kitchen sink

    The blue knob is in the on position. Those types of isolators can leak from the spindle although looking at the connection tothe brass pipe that is corroded so is possibly leaking as well. Turning the blue knob to the off position will not stop the leak unless it is coming from the plastic...

    Buying the freehold on my block of flats

    As for your lack of £6000 only the bank can say if they will loan you that money. Ask them they can only say yes or no.

    Get frame off one paint roller onto another

    They are normally held on by spring clips but maybe they are not meant to come off. Maybe buy another roller handle with the sleeve on it. |They are made to a cheap price so, possibly, cannot be altered.
