    Mouse Problem

    I tried spring traps for ages and they just kept coming, could hear them scratching about in the ceiling at night. Not all die a nice death in the traps either......one got away with my trap......never seen it since. Another chewed its own leg off to get out of the trap....never saw him...

    Car-tax refund

    Hardly a surprise though......just the same as the big insurance con.....it's all down to money in the bank for them.

    Car-tax refund

    Yet another potential flaw to this great new scheme. Would be interested to know this myself.

    Vokera Linea 24 boiler

    There's actually two possibilities here. The non return valve could be stuck as mentioned. If so a gentle tap on the valve innards sometimes gets it going. I doubt you will get the plastic bit out if you need to replace it, best get the whole valve. drain the system before working on it as...

    Vaillant Group Service - the worst in the world?

    A mate of mine worked for them and said their planning was extremely poor. He was forever being sent incorrect parts, sent to jobs with no parts, too many jobs planned in etc. No matter how many times he told them his parts didn't arrive till 8-9am he was still booked early jobs 50+ miles...

    British Gas Hive control packed up so no heating till thurs

    Like all companies advertising an average, they rely on the stupidity of the general public and their inability to understand what an average actually is.

    British Gas Hive control packed up so no heating till thurs

    Simple maths dictates he is one of the 5%....albeit twice. That 95% is probably calculated across the whole year.....it's getting to the time of year where some areas will struggle to get close to that. I'm more surprised by the mere mention of the D word the call centre didn't attempt to...

    Divorce

    But you can chuck them out with next to nothing. A pal at work recently binned or was binned by the missus. He was able to prove she made no payments at all on any aspect of the house they shared that he had bought before they met. Sadly he has two kids by her so will be paying through the...

    A Coincidental Number Plate?

    Depends which film it was from. If it was the white one with no decals then it was an S1 Esprit (naturally aspirated) that he used in The Spy Who Loved Me. If it was white or red with decals it was an Esprit Turbo from For Your Eyes Only. My bet is it will be the S1 as the other two were...

    Why does everyone seem to hate the Tories?

    On the scum level indicator the media are complete equals to the politician. Austerity is one of the medias favourite words to sell whatever tat they are peddling.

    Why does everyone seem to hate the Tories?

    Politicians are all scum, the only exception I have seen in my 39 years is Screaming Lord Sutch....met him once in Aberdeen Uni Union.....was a genuinely nice guy. Perhaps a bit silly calling him a politician though. Norcon makes a good point, only the Tories ever make an attempt at...

    Guess we will never know.

    Scottish independence.

    Scots no longer living in the country would probably have voted Yes as they wouldn't have had to live with the consequences. Some sort of faux patriotism would lead them to vote yes with no thought at all. Likewise Johnny Foreigner is actually living here and deserves a vote. Like it or not...

    Help wanted for my dead B&D grinder

    I go through a lot of grinders and have never found any brand to be overly reliable. The cheaper the better now and I don't even waste my time looking for spares. I buy these now. http://www.diy.com/departments/performance-power-corded-230v-angle-grinder-pag750a/184630_BQ.prd When the...

    Murray. What IS wrong with the bloke?

    No problem with jocular comments from either side, it's a daily occurrence where I live due to the numbers of English living here and half of my family being English or Irish. In fact I will be taking the **** out of an Englishman later today and be getting the same back from him. It's gone a...

    Murray. What IS wrong with the bloke?

    So whats the problem? We both agree the "missionary" statement is childish nonsense and we both agree we are nationalists for our own country. Nothing wrong with that. I disagree Scotland is better off with "us". Sadly there are few options open to Scotland and economic suicide is not...

    Murray. What IS wrong with the bloke?

    I believe he is Glaswegian or near as dammit.....therefore he is only doing what he thinks is normal.....much the same as you are.

    Murray. What IS wrong with the bloke?

    Start campaigning and see how far you get. I wouldn't if I was that unfortunate. My sister doesn't and she is unfortunate enough to live down there. It's usually the Glaswegian ****s s that like to use that line, a proper Scotsman would keep himself to himself and get on with it.
