    too close for comfort

    what the guy did could be classed as 'threatening behaviour' and depending on the police station could be taken further. More likely the guy will get a caution, but if there are other reports of it he WILL get nicked. REPORT IT. technically assualt is: i emphasize the psychological...

    New toilet woes

    i had a similar problem when i moved the toilet 90 degrees so it wasnt on the outside wall. The 90 degree bend to turn it back to the old soil pipe made it stand off the wall 4 inches. all i did was get a piece of worksurface and cut a notch in the shape of the cistern out of it. I the fitted...

    The 'falling man'...

    buildings now must be designed to prevent progressive collapse. I do a lot of work for the mod and is now a constraint that they can all withstand this form of collapse.

    woman caught applying makeup whilst driving

    woman caught applying makeup whilst driving

    thansk adam, thats it. whats annoying me more is the fact that most news reports gloss over the drink drive part, and the fact that she was already banned. so she now has a further 6 points on her license which means (even though she isnt insured anyway), when she does go to insure her car...

    woman caught applying makeup whilst driving

    so you are condoning the fact that a convicted drink driver is allowed on our roads and only gets a £200 fine? the driving careless is not such a big deal, as most people have driven with their hands of the wheel for something, be it to light a fag or whatever.. thats not the issue.. the issue...
