I think you make a good point billyo. GPs get paid a lot but they do seem to have given up on the kind of diagnosing that takes the whole person into account. Instead, they just follow a line to the nearest solution. But things aren't great in the hospitals, either. My son-in-law is an...

Mdf soaks up a lot of paint so if it's not primed already, you need an mdf primer like this: http://www.international-paints.co.uk/details.php?productid=96&primerprep=1&surfaceid=48

The Bette Starlet comes in 9 sizes including the one you're after. Not cheap but good.

D'you mean cunnilingus, or is this some new variation that I'm too old to know about?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

The Land Registry should be able to tell you if anyone owns the land. If no one owns it, then lucky you :)

I've always used mirror plates but for really heavy mirrors, I think you'd need strap-hangers. Scroll down this link to see what I mean http://www.picturehanging.com/general-hanging.shtml

Bon, does the council actually own this land? If so, then they have a duty to maintain it, cut the grass etc, which they are not doing right now. I would have thought you could apply to buy it from them. If they say no, then tell them you're going to get a court order to force them to...

Ah, so that's what they mean when they talk about the Big Bang. I hope he was insured.

:oops: :oops: :oops:

That's true, Joe, but addictions defy rationality and commonsense. Why do people who know they're overweight continue to eat cake? Why did Michael Jackson continue to have plastic surgery when it was obvious to everyone else that he'd gone way beyond 'looking good'? Why do some teenage boys...

Could be quite handy on a renovation project. :lol:

Ah, the New Orleans effect. If it's not water, it's flames. Back in - well a long time ago - the whole place was pratically demolished when a candle set fire to a curtain while everyone was out at church.

Joe, I think this is a reasonable question to pose. I would suggest that the reasons people decide to begin smoking are different from the reasons they find it so hard to give up. When people start to smoke, they're usually children or young adults who want to be grown-up and smoking is a...

This is a plastering story but it's relevant for anyone who uses dustsheets. A friend was having their ground floor kitchen replastered. The friend's wife was working in the home office upstairs and thought she could smell gas. She went downstairs to investigate and found the plasterer's lad...

Garry, I've had the same problem in the past and this is how I handled it. If the nails/screws won't come out, then use your drill to drill a hole alonside the nail. Sometimes you need one on each side. Once you've drilled, the nail usually loses its purchase and you can pull it out. As for...

Span, double glazing doesn't solve the problem of mould from condensation. Indeed, it makes it worse because moisture-laden air is trapped inside the house. You may not see it on the windows as you did with single-glazing but unless you provide another source of ventilation, the air will...

You could try black and white. I would think it's easy enough to get black lacquered filing cabinets/desk/etc. Then at the bedroom end you could do a feature wall with black and white wallpaper. And if it all looks too stark, you can add a bright colour without it looking overdone. This is a...

Indeed she could have had a quiet word in Gillian Gibbons' ear, Balenza. That would have been the decent thing to do. She must have known that Mrs Gibbons had no intention of causing offence and it's a strange society that doesn't take that missing intention into account. Without intention...
