Well Well Well! Why are so many people so self entitled? Some people, far too many people, think they are entitled to drive at the limit as a minimum. often exceed it, on every portion of every piece of road irrespective of bends, poor visibility , poorer road holding weather conditions no...

To anybody who has mentioned Marc Bolam/T Rex songs - What the heck are "Automatic Shoes"???

Galaxy by Monty Python (Eric Idle has quite a good voice).

The ones I used to use could accomodate two conductors (my pref was two on a ring doubled over and the one for a spur single witout much actual difficulty thereby 5 conductor diameters. Before a slight re-design it was 6 total so each of the 3 could be doubled over. In both cases for a ring...

Might be an idea to ask on the plumbing/heating forum if any of the qualified lads know how or how not any permitted zones for various pipes/tube play out. As said, we know where the permitted zones are for cables and if everybody sticks to them and everbody else is aware of them then, in...

Yes Disgusting (as a combination in My Humble Opinion)

Now then. This caught my eye. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1w42r1x7r5o I like Pizza, great stuff. I was slightly disappointed a few years back on holiday in Sorrento and found the Pizzas there a bit bland and plain and did not compare to the very first holiday abroad in Rimini aged...

Well according to religous folks we are all sons of god aren`t we I suppose? just seems to me that muslims all believe in both blokes but a lot of christians only believe in the one. Just to clarify , I do believe that both of them probably existed and they both might well have good intentioned...

I did see an unusual one in the past - a rcbo that had indication by Half Up = One state and full up = other state but can not remember which was which RCD/MCB but once it had been reset you had no idea which off state it had been trying to inform you, so if the customer reset it themselves you...

Well from what that there Muslim told me the muslims believe in Christ and they think he was a very important prophet after Mohammid, maybe number 2 or such, that suggests to me that they are Christians second and Muslims first (we used to call them Mohammidans but in modern days they are called...

Muslims are Christians ! Well a Muslim told me that Mecca is the Centre of the whole World - I thought it was a molten mass of Iron Ore. Anyway, moving on ,another Muslim told me that Christ was a Prophet , a Great Prophet, before Christ the world was uncivilsed and thanks to Christ the...

Reform said theyd fix potholes in the road. Did they? NO! the only party I would ever vote for needs just one credible manifesto, if they actually did it they would be voted in for quite a while. 20, 30, 40 years ago would anybody have ever dreamed our roads could ever be so third world...

Spot on there , John, but Flameport was right to comment on what I had written. It was one "Supposedly Scientific Approach" if one has nothing else to judge from, no doubt there are many more.

Yup , that very thing or "I want a COMPETATIVE QUOTE!" is, to my mind a dead give away. My estimated price for the job has always been exactly that "My price for the job to the standards I am not prepared to lower and I have never tried to deliberately be cheaper or dearer than anyone else. My...

Perhaps his real "Sin" was being found out then! ;) right "MP" yes I think that one would be unlikely to catch anyone out as it usually means Member of Parliament - but in some cases could mean Military Policeman or something, Thats why I like to keep abbreviations and accronyms few and far...

And another one! What is HoC ???

Mind you how many people pronounce "Aitch" as "Haitch" these days? we got clobbered at School for such missdeeds. It was all different back then too. Most folks could not afford the cost of constipation medicine - Things were hard back then!

Thats about as daft as an experience I had when enquiring about the cost of replacement tyres. I parked in the disabled bay, no problem but I noticed a couple of large letters in white whilst everything else was in yellow as you`d expect. Slightly amused whe I asked what H F meant. Reply...

What the heck does "HWM" stand for? I do wish people would keep abbreviations to the bare minimum and widely understood ones! like WTF (Whats Thee Finking)

" Please do NOT do that. Actually yes I do agree with Flameport. It is a supposedly "scientific" way to do so if you do not have the alternative of asking other traders you already trust or say a local authority grants officer etc. Definately not on websites like Trusted Rogue Trader or...
