As an aside, Jordan and Lebanon have huge Palestinian refugee camps, some dating from the partition of Palestine into two states. Iran and Russia backing Assad, a Middle Eastern death cult establishing a base and supported by Assad, and 'moderate' opposition armies. And Turkey buying oil from...

It sounds like you are not familiar with the Monty Python Yorkshireman sketch?

You are quite mistaken. People only object when racist remarks are made such as using the term 'rapugees', or saying that an entire religious group are terrorists/rapists, or posting fake videos. The OP sounds quite reasonable to me, although some will disagree with the views expressed.

Ah well, I guess the >10,000 boiler owners surveyed by Which must have lied. And done so for at least 5 years. Damn, wish I'd bought [insert brand] instead of a POS. :) http://www.boilerguide.co.uk/consumer-magazine-praises-worcester-bosch-boilers Recent surveys also include ratings by boiler...

Without doubt parental aspiration and encouragement are important. I am sure I read some recent research which showed that your peers are more important. So if you are surrounded by well behaved aspirant types, it will rub off on you. Similarly if you are surrounded by miscreants, chances are...

We were so poor we lived in hole in ground. Father used to kill us twice a day. If we were lucky we were allowed to suck a piece of coal for breakfast. Eeee, those wer' days ... Sorry, couldn't resist.

The EU being a bunch of dingbats are encouraging people to migrate to Europe. Cameron has got it right, he wants them to fund refugee camps near Syria so that they can return when peace arrives I think we are giving nearly a billion pounds a year in aid. If everyone did that, we would not have a...

30 years ago people like me who came from lower middle class backgrounds, not poor, but not wealthy by any means, had the chance to get a good education and get into well paid careers. Social mobility was higher. The wealthy still sent Tarquin and Portia to St Custards, and they still did...

"According to a Which? poll of nearly 3,000 boiler owners, Vaillant and Worcester Bosch are the most dependable brands on the market. Both manufacturers have been popular choices for a number of years, and were backed up by excellent customer satisfaction score of 83%. Crucially, only 29% of...

I have Googled WB boiler reviews, and spoken to numerous plumbers, the concensus is that they are very good.

I've seen worse. I reported one incident, driver overtook me on blind bend, then crossed over dual carriageway central reservation, onto wrong side, went round roundabout the wrong way. I was told the car had been involved in a crash not long after. Probably stolen. I had a video of an overtake...

I agree with your first two paragraphs. WB are a good brand, recommended by Which, for what that is worth. The engineer who last serviced my boiler said they were very reliable, he services loads of them, reckoned I'd have issues with hard water deposits at some stage as I have very hard...

Oooh dear, it has text by that Winterson creature. I read some of it, and she rambles on as badly as she does on BBC Question Time etc.

And don't get me onto those single celled organisms that first crawled out of the sea and colonised the land. Bloody single celled immigrants. (There is a good YouTube video by Stewart Lee on this theme. I don't like his left wing politics, but he can be very funny.)

Quotes from the Bible: Murder "If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death." "For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on it must be put to death." Genocide "When you march up to...

:ROFLMAO:

Yes, I agree. I was a bit casual in my language, I meant that they can sack you or lay you off with no reason, in the first two years. It used to be one year. The probationary period is just a way to for example reduce the notice period, typically to one week instead of the usual 1 month. Also...

It can be done by a competent DIYer, but it must be inspected. I like to think the inspection is done properly. I would not trust any installation without a certificate, there's too many incompetent DIYers about. I know from first hand experience that using a professional does not guarantee...

I am sure there will be no end of them willing to prove our estimates wrong.

You can clean the glass by spitting on a tissue pad, dipping it in wood ash, and rubbing the glass. It works a treat.
