Well I understood you perfectly, but I won't try to explain it to you, as it would just confuse you further. You've just got to ask yourself one thing, "can you say that again only more slowly?" :lol:

Adam, I'm trying very hard NOT to picture what you'll be doing with them. Are they your size? I thought you were bigger than that :lol:

You can also use a bleed nipple on one of the radiators. If you're impatient you can take it out completely, have a jug handy to catch the excess water, then replace once the pressure has dropped.

Although you can get tiles that are manufactured specifically for creasing, it is very common to use roofing tiles. The main differences are that creasing tiles tend to be much flatter and don't have nibs. If you use roofing tiles you will have more variety available and, if you shop around...

Honest it really was an absolute genuine fluke accident. I felt really bad about the loss of the canoes. These had been paid for by our Geography teacher, out of his own pocket. Just about every boy in the school had been taught to do eskimo rolls in the school lake, so they were very...

Good idea, but I think it could put a lot of posters off. They may feel obliged to make a contribution and so, elect not to post instead :cry:

Johnboy54 As you have noted, there are risks involved with asbestos, so not ALL the advice given about asbestos is scaremongering. There is an aweful lot of scaremongering around on this subject though. It is quite common to see advice that, any asbestos found in the home should be dealt with...

:) Didn't have any. We only used the stables as storage for the canoes, stage scenery and props and a car that was being built by our 5th formers. It was the car workshop that I chose to sneak into for a ciggy. A careless flick of my match happened to land in a bucket of petrol where some...

Don't forget to check things like filter coffee machines. The carbonised mess can be a swine to clean out. On the day of my wedding, I also managed to forget to turn the grill off (was pretty hung over at the time). When we returned from the honeymoon, the grill pan had buckled beyond...

I don't, as a rule, have any problem with spiders. I'm quite happy to just pick them up, and throw them out the door. I have, recently though, become quite concerned with the incidents of spider bites. My grand daughter and son (both in Gloucestershire) have suffered from three spider bites...

If you're putting that sort of length along a stud and plasterboard wall, you'd be better off finding the studs (the upright wooden members behind the plasterboard). You can buy stud detectors for this very job. I can usually find them just by tapping allong the wall, listening for the change...

I was actually in my school football team. My rebel instincts refused to do anything for the school outside school time, so I refused to play at weekends. Since I was a pretty good player, the head then had the bright idea of giving me Saturday morning detentions, (instead of my usual Monday...

It also seems to be getting worse. Just edited a post to correct a typo, took about 2 mins to respond. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ That's strange, just edited this one, Absolutely no problem. Unusually I didn't do a preview after my edit. Could this be a clue?

It's also worth fitting a piece of timber along the front edge. The wider the better. This will help prevent the roller coaster effect that you normally see when you mount thin board on shelf brackets. You can also use it to hide the front edge of the shelf. One way of doing it is to fit a...

Actually, despite all the griping of the delays caused by lorry drivers, I feel that overall, their driving standards are better than the average car driver. Given the choice of a spotty teenager that has just passed his test, driving at 60mph in his dads company car, or a Lorry driver at the...

Nowadays, Exterior doors also have to meet the new building regs (Part L). Whereas Internal doors can still be made as shody as you like from any cheap tat.

The expression "how long is a piece of string" comes to mind. If you do all the work yourself, you may be able to do a basic one, where no complications exist, for about a thousand. Depends on size and what mods are required to the existing structure, etc.. etc... A more complicated job...

What about that stretch of the M11 between the M25 and the North Circular. For years it was a 70mph zone, then literally overnight they casually introduced some new 50mph signs for a one mile stretch, with a speed camera, immediately followed by the familiar white circle with a black diagonal...

That's an absurd suggestion. The cost would be prohibitive, not to mention the impracticality of trying to route such an unweildy length of cable. The voltage drop over such a length would likely also prevent the luminaire actualy glowing at all. If you ony need a delay of 2 to 3 seconds...

Get the daughter a pair of sunglasses. 8) Alternatively, paint the cieling with a less brilliant colour (such as magnolia or black).
