    The Maddy Circus rolls on.

    From what has became clear in the last couple of years with the Fritzl's and the couple of cases in the US, kidnappings and long term imprisonment of young girls is going on and these are the only ones that have been found out. There is a good possibility that she is still alive and in the same...

    Mixing mortar and concrete - what am I doing wrong?

    I dont think Rambling or anyone should muddy the waters between lime and cement just to win an internet ****ing contest, even if there is a touch of lime in cement. People who use, should use or need to know about lime usually need something completely different out of it then cement like...

    How do you want to go?

    I think this is quite a fitting way to go for a period builder. Might add a bit of pigment to my lime bath, Parma yellow maybe...

    Is Egypt going the same way as Syria?

    Not really a good advert for anyone thinking of going to Shark el Sheikh.

    I've been exposed to asbestos

    I was reading recently that in Italy they had tried and given 20 year sentences to two asbestos or Eternit barons for gross negligence and had ordered them to pay millions in compo. All in absentia though as the barons didnt show at the trial and are now in Switerland or Belgium. Its hard...

    Lime Plastering Base Coat

    From my beginners experience with Lime it seems to me your doing fine. The only technique Ive heard about for throwing lime on is "casting" usually for external walls and used to create a rough authentic finish would be a bit of a ballache to do that around a fireplace, my place looks like parts...

    BBQ's

    They dont drink cider really. Mostly use plums for the slivovice. Some use apples for Kalvados but thats traditionally a Spanish drink. Beer, slivovice and wine are the traditional drinks here.

    BBQ's

    Long way to come for a bottle of cider mate. :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: My cider is quite sour, Ive got about half a dozen apple trees and they grow these red apples mostly for cooking, a couple grow sweeter greener apples with a bit of red must be some local variety. On the road between...

    BBQ's

    I started making my own cider last year. Only managed to make 4 bottles, a test run which worked out nicely but Ive only been able to drink a few glasses as it gets shared out amongst guests usually at BBQ's. Planning to make much more this year and then get caned on a bottle or two of it next...

    BBQ's

    Back in Liverpool we had a family of South African pathologists move in next door as it was a privately rented out house. They were always having BBQ's and inviting people round, we were never brave enough to go.

    BBQ's

    Probably because most people in the UK's experience of cooking is sticking some ready meal in the micro for 5 minutes. I prefer to cut the meat open before serving it, only way to be sure if its done in the middle.

    Bad state of walls due to damp, any advice on way forward

    Julius Caesar probably. Did he(pinenot) not says it sets underwater? Used in aqueducts, sewers and mills wasnt it? NHL?

    Bad state of walls due to damp, any advice on way forward

    I enjoyed that one as well. Some sort of lime parlance.

    Bad state of walls due to damp, any advice on way forward

    Ive found pinenot's posts, especially on lime or old house stuff as I dont really read about other building works which dont concern me to be on the money and backed up by a few other sources.

    Tommy Robinson of EDL talking so much sense it's unreal.

    I could tell you a load of truths if you want, at a job interview Id would be all yeah I dont mind working nights and weekends but I actually hate it. Farage doesnt float my boat as he is a toff, a tory and a banker by trade. UKIP might get you out the EU and you think it would mean the...
