Now that really would be funny. I think he actually believes his own "King of the North" spin, he thinks the people of the UK worship him. Reality will be a cold shock!

You can get an electronic Stud Finder. I find a Neodynium magnet more reliable. Just swirl it around on the wall surface, it should find the screw or nail heads under the surface by sticking to them. Pencil a circle where it sticks, move on. You should see lines of circles, these are your...

No idea what you're waffling on about. Perhaps, to avoid confusing yourself, stick to stating your own views and opinions rather than trying to mind-read those of others? And discuss the subject of the thread rather than whatever unrelated pet hates you're obsessed with.

I vastly prefer someone who says the occasional daft thing rather than carefully sculpted PR-polished words from a script. Besides, these sins he's supposed to have said that are being blown up are actually pathetic when you look behind the fake shock of the lefties and see what he actually...

I know of them, but intentionally avoid them. Only buy anything built before they started making houses out of paper. Unfortunately I can't stop relatives buying them, then demanding I do "little jobs" for them, which turn out to be an ordeal as their house is modern junk.

I didn't say he's a witch. Unless you're living under a rock, you'll be aware that he's very pro-big government, in fact anti-free market. Communism.

It's fine. Get Burnham in, expose his communist policies for what they are, let him bankrupt the country and ensure that Labour never get back into power ever again. Also make people wary of voting for Restore, as it opens the door to traitors. If Burnham doesn't get in then he'll be forever...

Exactly why I'd never buy one. You can hang a picture frame from the plasterboard. Anything heavier needs attaching to the block behind it, packing out to the plasterboard surface level. I used thick washers for a radiator I fitted once to someone else's house. It worked, but it was horribly...

The brickwork below is going to be removed at some point. So it needs to become a suspended floor at some point, the question is whether that point is now or when the chimney breast below is removed. I'd suggest the latter, just make good over the concrete for now. Having said that, if it is...

Politicians are controlling the judiciary. It's obvious, but some are still denying it.

Quite right. He was busy earning a living in the real world while the career politicians were at politician school, learning the fine art of spouting a load of words about nothing while offending nobody. If anyone never says anything offensive to anyone then they're not speaking from the...

It needs to go and be replaced with floorboards - either now, or when you do the room below. I'd just board over it to make it up to (roughly) floor height for now, do a proper job when you do the room below. If you were to do it now then you'd end up with a hole in the chimney breast and...

Here's a photo from a hole for the sewage system nearby... It looks a lot like clay while wet and undisturbed, and has streaks of grey clay within it. But see the mound at the top left, it fluffs up and crumbles when moved. We had some bank collapses, the boss of the company doing the...

Is your house piled? If not then how old and is it OK? Sand is inert, it's not going to biodegrade and sink as topsoil would. My understand is that the risk is that groundwater flows can move it around. But our sand seems to be pretty sticky, it has grains within it that go down to clay/silt...

That is possible. There are some utter rogues about. If it's occupied then it may be worth knocking on the door. Ask if you could come back and view at a time of their choosing, tell them that their agent isn't allowing viewings for some reason you can't understand.

Hopefully he's made his mind up by now, 16 months after the previous post.

Sadly they will be. Curry pans, litter and human excrement are the new culturally enriched countryside.

So... are kids becoming more awful, or is sensitivity to what people say more amplified? I strongly suspect the latter. And I doubt that the suspensions are generally justified or in anyone's interests. Kids have always been horrible. They often just need a chat.

I went for a weekend camping in North Wales. I'm pleased to report that this remains like the old days. Almost all friendly, trusting and decent. I suspect I'll be going to North Wales more in future. It could become our remaining little Ghetto. Really sad to hear what's happening to the...

I've said it before, nobody expects perfection from Reform. They're a messy bunch, doubtless a massive recruitment campaign is going to result in a few wrong uns getting in. But people would much prefer to hear someone making edgy comments that head towards politically incorrect rather than...
