My old boss used to rather eloquently say, 'anyone who has never made a mistake, has never made f**k all'. He would still ruck you though!! :D He also used to say, 'I dont expect anyone not to make a mistake, but I do expect them to pay for them'. Anyone who tried to hide thier mistakes...

Is this a question? :) I am not suggesting all, or even most cannabis users are affected badly by it, just the the few who I know are. This is mainly due to the more potent variants they now take, plus also the life style they choose take which basically is one of dossing around until the next...

I thinks have come a long way since the days when someone would hand around the odd 'dooby' at a party. The few guys I know who were caught up in weed are wrecks now. And whilst they may not be trouble making when stoned, when they are desperate for some gear, they resort to stealing ( from me...

That's very interesting Softus.

Softus. I can only speak from my experiences. Do you know of an example where push fit fittings would be the best fitting for the job? Wether you feel my views are blinkered and unthinking or not, the fact remains that I had many bad experiences with push fit system and by choosing to avoid...

Spent a year using push fit systems. Mostly ok, but enough leaks to convert me back to solder and compression. However, I do use the plastic pipe in lofts when I have to run a pump feed from one part of the house to another, but thats it. Had most probs with Speed Fit, Hep stuff was better...

Yes, but you were inferring xenophobia which is ( to me ) as much a slur - I dont fear, distrust nor hate foreigners. I, like many others, simply find the governments border control policy reckless. And I aint moving either!! p.s - I think I may be coming across as a git here with you MW - if...

Megawatt - http://www.answers.com/topic/xenophobia Lots of arguable definations - but generally thrown around in the same context as 'racism'. If this is not what you meant then fair enough. But I can assure you I do not hate, and am not fearful of foreigners either. I, and most people...

So I'm a xenophobe because I disagree with you ? And no doubt a racist 'little Englander' too? You ought to give New Labour a call, they use these smear tactics to stifle opposition debate too. The difference between me and you MW is that I can speak from experience - I live in an area where...

Yup. It's like a theatre nowadays. As an example, an ex of mine who once did Jury service thought one of the solictors was 'cute' and funny. She got 'pally' with another female juror who thought the same. Subsequently, these two dozy bints were the only ones who 'voted' for the said solictors...

:D Trade Descriptions Act? A refund may be in order if you've got the nerve to ask!

Of the little I have read, I would say I am on the fence over wether or not the this eu treaty is good for the uk. However, I strongly believe we should get a referendum. Democracy depends on it. I also have a suspicion that Gordon Brown is a dead man walking - and he knows it. I wouldn't be...

But at conkers..... http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?in_article_id=70246&in_page_id=34

I was an apprentice then. I got a call saying dont bother coming in, the site we were on is shut down for a bit. I spent the next few days just catching tit bits on the news. S'funny, but back then as a youngun' I didnt really appreciate the fuss it caused. I do remember everyone suddenly...

So I'm a purist and some sort of anti drugs mafia am I? Listen dude, you may have bought into the whole troubled artist routine ( always a money spinner ), but some of us find it tedious. So he beat the drugs - well good for him. But remember he gladly took them and paraded them about even...

There is too much attention paid to why people are violent and break the law. There are still victims at the end of this who dont give a stuff that the bloke who kicked the crap out of them only did it because he never had a job, or his folks ( folk? ) didnt cuddle them enough. Victims still...

Just, for the record, I am not tarring all with the same brush - but I am concerned that if this country was to fall on it's face economically, would the benefits system be stretched further than it would of been otherwise? What precautions and reassurances have we got? I have had this...

Then I guess ( if we are keeping it this simplified ) this means migrants are not offering anything extra to society- they are just covering themselves - but with the handy bonus of knowing that there is a benefits system to bail them out when it all goes t!ts up. In the mean time - joe public...

Just remember, Labour didnt neuter borders controls as a strategic move to fill job vacancies - it was their sheer ineptitude. Granted jobs have been filled, but I would rather see the benefits culture dealt with to get the long term useless back off their butts. Controlled migration is fine...

The blade type wall paper scrapers are ideal for removing paint. You can get 100mm and 150 mm ones for about 6 or 7 quid. We prefer the 100mm ones and usually buy a spare pack of blades too.
