Welcome to the real world. Would you pay £25 for a burger because it's the burger flippers first day and it took them an hour to make it? You can't charge nearly £300 for changing a TAP, that's ridiculous, and it puts every other case where you say the plumbers charge is reasonable into doubt.

Typical response from a plumber defending ridiculous charges. £270 to change a tap is outrageous. Since the stopcock was accessible the whole time, the 4 hours escapade can only be put down to his incompetence, why should the customer pay for that? Airlock was introduced because he...

I'm not a sparkie, but I think it's probably allowed. However, it always stands out as a DIY screw up when one notices this. (even if it was intentional.)

"or so it would seem" <suspicious eyes>

LOL. think in the follow on from that exact story, Lot leaves Sodom and lives in the mountains. He falls into a drunken sleep, and his daughters say 'lets sleep with our sleeping father so we can start a new city'. LOL! not even jimmy saville would have got away with that tale.

yep, but offering your daughters is a bit much. And god did decide to intervene to 'temporarily blind' the pillow biters so they couldn't find the door... why didnt he just kill them / or freeze them to the spot or .......... make them 'turn not gay'. lol.

Genesis 19, if you know your bible norcon! lol. Genesis 19 New International Version (NIV) Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed 19 The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face...

What about when God wants to destory Sodam, but first sends 2 angels down to tell the only righteous man in the city to flee before it's razed to the ground. The villagers surround the house and want to rape the male angels. The man then offers his 2 DAUGHTERS to the villagers to be raped...

I suspect Dex is actually damning them with feint praise lol.

Cherry picking from the work of another man is reasonable and sensible. Doing it from the bible would be an affront to god himself, as the whole lot is supposedly his word. Who are we to decide he was talking crap on certain days? It's my supposition that the fact that we 'can' cherry pick...

lol. what I mean is, you appear to be agreeing with me on the point that just because one doesn't understand the explanation doesn't make it any less true...... yet that contradicts the point you made before when you seem to support (by giving validity to) your creationist friend's argument...

You said that your creationist friends observation that the evidence didn't show micro evolution in the fossil record was a valid observation, yet I would say this is an example of him not seeing what he expects to see due to his understanding capability and basing his beliefs off that.

An argument that says "I don't understand the explanation therefore the explanation cannot be true" is ridiculous. It's not the same as saying the explanation doesn't make sense. Truth is absolute, and doesn't depend on the cognition of the listener. Take aeroplanes. Most people couldn't...

Does your machine screw have a bolt on the end of it, or did you cut the thread into the aluminium?

I think it's an undeniable part of being human - that is, to question and be curious.

why is it not a gas tight cold weld bernard? is it because the aluminum cable deforms and simply makes contact rather than being 'gripped' by the teeth of the IDC?

Good post. and I agree with you that jews have influenced the media and society to such an extent that no matter what criticism is levelled - if the target is a jew, or jewish organisation, or jewish interests (even on the periphery) the conclusion is that it is anti semitism - which is...

Sir John Sawers, ex-MI6 chief, discussed the threat from Jihadists His comments come after Mohammed Emwazi, a Kuwaiti-born British man in his mid-20s and from west London, was identified as "Jihadi John", an individual pictured in the videos of several beheadings of Western hostages. Sir...

I don't like the 'elephant ears' pockets for that exact reason - going blind. And you can take your toolbelt off if you need to get into a tight space or lie down - otherwise you need to empty your pockets. The key with toolbelts is to try to carry as little as possible in them, the...
