    Burnham the new PM

    He's not moving anything, he's creating more government in Manchester and leaving everything in London. More politicians for the career politician who joined Labour at age 15 and has never done anything else. Just more waste and expense. He's not consulted anyone about where it should be, and...

    Filling cracks in concrete path

    PVA is for interior use only. SBR would help... https://www.toolstation.com/sikabond-sbr/p81169 Paint it on AND add a dollop to your mix to strengthen it. Just don't get any on the surroundings, you'll have weird shiny purply coloured stains you'll never remove. BUT... if there's a crack...

    Compost Hopper

    The standard plastic compost bins are fine, just ignore the hatch at the bottom. You can lift the entire thing, it slides up off the compost and leaves you a heap of half-rotted stuff. It takes a few minutes to shovel this back in (inverting it, leaving the newest stuff at the bottom), then...

    Theres alot of Pidgin talk.

    £420k is just not on planet earth, nobody is worth that unless they've cured cancer. The reason the BBC's insane salaries are on par with the rest of the industry is that the BBC's vast sack of money it spews out utterly distorts the entire market. Get rid of the licence fee, they'll all need...

    There are some sick people in this country.

    Try saying something logical that deserves a response.

    Compost Hopper

    I never found the hatch at the bottom to be of any use, it just blocks up and is impossible to shovel from. At best you'll get a shovelful then the rest will stay above it. You only need a couple of twigs to make it stick. We used to just have two large plastic compost barrels. Fill one...

    Lifting the corporate veil

    The point is that they should be investigating the politicians who made the decisions that allowed our money to be given away to them and their fraudster pals. Politicians now want to blame the Ltd Co system, as that nicely deflects the attention from them. Sadly many have taken the bait and...

    Henry Nowak inquest...

    8 million are paying in. Absolutely everyone else is taking out. Do you actually see an issue, or wasn't maths part of the syllabus at your socialism indoctrination college?

    Best way to get a vent pipe through a tiled roof?

    Can they be installed with the tiles to the sides on top of the sheet rather than below it?

    There are some sick people in this country.

    I'm saving lots of wear and tear on my scroll wheel these days. It's amazing just how short some pages of many threads have become... A highly recommended forum feature!

    Henry Nowak inquest...

    More likely 80 million post-Burnham - if the actual population isn't beyond that already, whatever the official figures state. Next election will be the last chance to rescue what's left of a nation.

    You're taking things to silly extremes to try and make a non-point. In retaliation, I could suggest that you might want to see state-run supermarkets. Communism is the government owning the means of production. Essential public services that don't have competition are often a (worthy)...

    chimney noise

    Was it raining at the time? It just sound like pouring/splashing water. Do you or the neighbours have any damp on or around it?

    Crack in breeze block outbuilding

    Good stir, but look at the highlighted photo in post 8 below. Whatever it's built on, it's obviously failing to hold it up. Vertical cracks often aren't a big deal, that is sideways movement, normally shrinkage that occurred once after construction. Horizontal cracks are a very big deal, that...

    Best way to get a vent pipe through a tiled roof?

    I was wondering about that, but it would halve the capacity, create back-pressure and possibly lead to unknown unintended consequences, e.g. the air from one going back down the other. One is rainwater, with an open end about 50m away, so potentially it could push poopy air that way if the wind...

    Lifting the corporate veil

    The people making the decisions at UK government should have assessed the company's situation and credit-worthiness. They could also have stipulated staged payments, personal guarantees, escrow payments or anything they liked. But instead they just lobbed all our money at some outfit that had...

    Henry Nowak inquest...

    If they didn't think they had a case then why drag him to court? Sounds like they were hoping that they could scare him into pleading guilty while there was no case. He's been in prison for 2 weeks, they didn't even give him bail. I can't see any justification at all for this, other than...

    Theres alot of Pidgin talk.

    Do you know what communism is? It's where the government owns industry. E.g. a state-run broadcaster. Nothing to do with left-right bias Everyone is "beholden" to whoever pays their bills or decides their fate - in the BBC's case, the government. In these days it's absolutely simple for...

    Crack in breeze block outbuilding

    I wouldn't step through the door, even to get the lawnmower, it looks like a death trap. It's obviously built on topsoil. Someone bought a few pallets of blocks and walloped it together in a weekend. Several parts of the walls have visibly sunk downwards, which just wouldn't happen if built...

    Theres alot of Pidgin talk.

    It's all old days stuff, the empire's gone. Soft power is nonsense. We don't need a state propaganda department, that's the stuff of commie regimes. They need to make everyone producing this garbage redundant and get themselves efficient in preparation for the privatisation/closure that will...
