As the great George Bernard Shaw wrote, "When men started to abuse each other with swear words instead of clubs, civilization took a great step forward" In my opinion, abusing one's fellow men with a few choice swear words, instead of violence, is a necessary part of our lives and it should...

" You posted a picture of a war cemetery the other day suggesting that if people don't live next door to each other they will end up in cemeteries" Nonsense, (yet again) That posting suggested nothing of the sort and you are distorting the comments which sensible contributors are trying to make.

Yes, from memory, the drum is "sandwiched" between the wheel and the face of the halfshaft, with the wheel studs passing through. Have you looked closely at the outer face of the drum (after removing the three countersunk screws) to see if there are two, diametrically opposite, tapped holes...

I am an amateur DIYer so, others might be able to give you more information. However,I understand that the current, or more modern method of fixing DG units either into timber or UPVC frames, is with the beading on the inside. I understand that this is an extra security measure so that the...

"Surely you aren't in favour of more of these" Well done John D. A graphic image, simply presented. does more than words can say and, hopefully, will help those one or two, on this forum, who are of limited intellect but unlimited arrogance, comprehend that, with all the difficulties and...

If it is a wooden door,could you not drill the screw holes to take a plug (Rawlplug or similar) ?

If you don't know why, read some history books.

To bring some constructive aspects to this,somewhat juvenile, tit for tat posting, we have to bring some optimism to try to counter the ,seemingly, gleefully posted pessimism. There is no doubt, there are great changes coming about and, as our industrialized world made the change from coal &...

"the dream of a socially joined-up Europe" In my lifetime, millions also had that dream but, they had to give their lives so that we could live in a free society. "There are just three pro Europeans in this forum" Not true because, if you know of three others, I make a fourth.

Many thanks. I rather thought that this was a bit of a remote possibility.

Could anyone kindly advise an amateur? Is there a condensing boiler available as a direct replacement for a Baxi Bermuda back boiler? Any advice, comment much appreciated.

B & Q stock these in a variety of lengths and, on the contrary, my bathroom refurbishment, with these easy to use flexibles, has never had any hint of a "blow" or leak. If they did malfunction, under the minimal pressures encountered in a domestic pipework system, then they would be, in my...

Yes, painting. However, hopefully, with modern techniques and processes, this antiquated procedure will soon be consigned to the DIY dustbin.

"The head of the FSA should have been sacked and the whole system re-evaluated." Sacked ? No. He should be tried, along with many others in the money" "industry" and, if found guilty, jailed for a suitable stretch, and his ill gained assets seized. A previous posting...

Yes, that's understood because, after all, the facility is free so,at least, a little bit of effort by the enquirer is understood. The reason that I am "dabbling" with Linux is that it keeps my addled brain on the go. I am past pensionable age and my computing has always been Windows based so...

Many thanks Mark As you might have gathered, I am an amateur when it comes to PC's, but, your link looks promising so I will spend some time investigating.

"Well he must have flashed at someone." Yes, but, don't they all do that or, are the far too frequent press reports about these odd members of society, wrong?

News item "Fake' priest exposed at Vatican" How can they tell ?

Yes, I entirely agree. Of course, the majority who post questions and make comments,are courteous and considerate people but, unfortunately, this site does have one or two commentators of quite juvenile intellect and to whom, malice and discourtesy towards others seems to be the sole purpose of...

Many thanks Dave for your comment. As it happens, I have now been successful in loading the printer software onto my desktop where I run Windows but, I should like to expand my use of Linux on my other PC so will persevere. Your link looks to be most helpful and it might just have the help...
