    Air brick

    Just had my driveway done which has raised the level so the air brick is just above the surface. It’s right in front of the drain but my neighbour says still a risk for water. I tried to find telescopic air brick vents but they are more where you want it to go down internally. Any...

    Spray - is it worth it

    I know this is a matter of opinion but thoughts welcome. I have an MDF media wall install and I have a quote for priming and a professional spray paint job. It’s quite pricey. Alternative is I can prime and paint myself with a brush. I’ve tried to find an answer online but various views...

    Fitting blinds

    I’d prefer not to screw into the frame, so are you saying rip all the architrave out and put a thick bit of timber? Might look a bit crap but could finish it with some more trim. I presume I screw this into the joists? I was considering putting a wedge of wood against the architrave to...

    Fitting blinds

    I looked at those but one bay window worked out to about £700 and I have a large glass pane and it would have to be like 3 of them rather than one solid piece which I thought would look messy.

    Fitting blinds

    Horizontal Venetian. I thought they screw into the recess above so you need a flat surface. I fix them to the frame do I?

    Fitting blinds

    I have angles architrave over my bay window. How on earth do I fit blinds? Any ideas?

    Trump Re Ukraine

    Posting anecdotal links and AI bullet points isn’t an argument, especially given that you’ve selected them over a range of time periods to make the argument you need. There are no tariffs of uk goods to Europe. The comparison is UK to Japan, or UK to whomever is competing with the UK...

    Trump Re Ukraine

    Ignoring developing countries to be fair, as we all know developing countries like Vietnam et al, who are growing their manufacturing rapidly and represent the bulk of competition, particularly for lower skilled manufacturing, have little if none at all of the above, with public services barely...

    Trump Re Ukraine

    Well, first let’s get it in context, Britain are 12th in world manufacturing and that’s 9% of our GDP so it’s not like we don’t manufacture things. Sadly our industry was irreparably damaged in the 70s and 80s. We weren’t very good at it, essentially. We have a world class financial...

    J D Vance. Munich speech.

    you do realise everyone sees what you’re doing here and knows it’s intellectually dishonest, right? Do you know this, or have you convinced yourself it isn’t?

    J D Vance. Munich speech.

    I’m confused. I thought JVD was telling lies. Now they aren’t lies, is it now a mitigation defence? “Well, they did do it, but it’s not bad, for these reasons” It’s up to anyone what they do in their own time. If they have a spiritual issue with abortion they have as much right to silently...

    J D Vance. Munich speech.

    I clearly recall a woman being moved on by the police for that. There’s some video evidence. Are you sure you’re on the right side when you’re acting as the PR for censors and authoritarians?

    J D Vance. Munich speech.

    Nicholas Maduro in venuzuella rigged a vote and blamed “imperialist interference” Alexander Lukashenko, Belarus, claimed the EU and US were funding opposition to topple him after a clearly rigged vote. Robert Mugabe, Slobodan Milosovic, all very big on foreign interference . It’s a hallmark...

    J D Vance. Munich speech.

    The distinguished economists who disagree have the track record of the EU, and previously the Soviet Union, as their track record. The ones who agree have the US and six, trillion dollar companies to show, whereas the EU has Nestle.

    J D Vance. Munich speech.

    The lie, as far as I am aware, is he claimed Scottish authorities were arresting people for praying in their own homes, when the letter posted said if they could be seen or heard praying they would be prosecuted. The Scottish greens put up a post saying it was disinformation and then about 200...

    J D Vance. Munich speech.

    Just to add to the key point of the topic, I am hugely out of step in my world as I thought JDV speech was the greatest political speech in modern history. It is also heralding an end to the EU/US hegemony as the US is starting to realise there are better partners out there. Europe is in...
