I think if you check you will find that the majority of the fireworks around this time are the followers of the muslin faith celebrating the end of ramadam. At least it is around this neck of the woods, very colourful too. This may help;

How do you solve the problem of Korea. (Sound of music) Got to be their best yet, or can anybody else beat it?

I would love to see a response from Softus to this post, err I think!!!!

Softus said How many F words were used as a result of this response? I admit to using 7.

How right you are Swelec. But have you noticed that this pack of wolves very rarely instigate a topic. They mainly prefer to wait until somebody else either raises an issue, or gives an opinion, before they come from behind the parapet. Fortunately most of us know who they are, and they are in...

What is up with some of the plonkers on this site. Why do they have to be so sactimonious and sarcastic when they see something which they percieve does not ( in their opinion) conform to the forum rules. You lot know who you are, and you seem to get some delight in pouncing like a pack of...

I'm not sure if this was in the 70,s, maybe the late 60,s, but it was probably the worst advert of all time. Strand cigarettes and the catch phrase, "your never alone with a strand" Whatever happened to that poor guy in the white mac, who was in the advert. At the time me and most of my mates...

Sorry for the jargon boxerdogs. A vertical dpc is anything that will keep the moisture from penetrating the brickwork. This can be a sand and cement rendering on the external face of the brick retaining wall or even a sheet of pvc membrane . The bitumastic waterproof solution is basically...

I don't no what it is , it's a recipe from my recently found book. At a guess I would say it is now called a black pudding. Happy eating :wink: :wink:

Black hog pudding Catch the blood of a hog; to each quart of blood put in a teaspoon of salt and stir well on. Simmer half a pint of Embden groats in a small quantity of water till tender; there must be no gruel. The best way of doing this is in a double saucepan, so that you will not need to...

Put in a vertical dpc on the face of the brickwork or apply a bitumastic waterproof solution before you backfill.

In the same book is the following headed "culinary economy" which probably accounts for the "sheeps head broth" The english generally speaking are very deficient in practice of culinary economy; a french family would live well on what is often wasted in an english kitchen. The bones...

Slogger, your showing your age if you ate this stuff, this book is over 75 years old, I'm no spring chicken and I came from a deprived background but I can't remember being fed this. Are you sure your not getting it mixed up with brawn. Wasn't that a mixture of various cheap parts of meat? BTW...

I am amazed that nobody responded to my previous posting on this subject. May it was because I included it in another topic about hysteria and that in turn degenerated into a discussion about the female aspects of hysteria. However just in case I attach the recipe once again [/b]

This is a recipe from the same book. Sheeps head broth "Get your butcher to split a sheeps head in two. Remove the brains and clean the head thoroughly. Put the head in a large pan ,cover with cold water and salt and bring to the boil. Pour of water, cover again with cold water, adding...

Whilst having a clean out I came across an old book entitled above. Its about 75 years old and claims to have "a vast congregation of useful hints and recipes" It makes fascinating reading, here is just one example from the medical section, Hysterics- "The fit may be prevented by the...

Noodlz. I am greatly offended by your disclaimer. It suggests that I am incapable of realising the difference of what is serious and what is , in your words puerile. It affected me greatly at a time when I was already under severe stress due to other reasons, so much that I have had to visit...

Sorry RF it is a deta. God no wonder why I could'nt locate them I must have been typing in delta all along. Ah well I can always put it down to my age, I'm the wrong side of **.

RF & securespark thanks for your advice. Just one more point the existing fan is square shaped and I have not been able to find a Delta replacement, (they have probably gone bust)would you happen know of another make which will be compatible with the existing sleeve and external cover. Sorry...

Thanks RF, but is it not possible to buy a new resistor, as from my searches, a new fan of this size is about £100.
