    Fixing a 32" tv wall mount bracket to single stud?

    Looking for thoughts on the sanity of this? I have a stud wall in the kids bedroom where I'm fitting a little 32" TV to her wall that I got for Christmas, the studs in this wall are at 600mm centres, the bracket fixing plate (rectangular with slotted holes for fixing) is only 250mm width, so...

    Power Washers

    Thanks lads, so I should think of it in terms of a power tool platform where the original bit of kit you buy will lock you into an system for accessories. Is the Karcher K5 a decent washer then and what’s the equivalent Nilfisk washer?

    Power Washers

    I'm going to be in the market for a power washer after Christmas at some point. Never owned one before but the Karchers seem to be the industry dominating name with their K Series. Can anyone give any advice or recommendations to a power washing newbie, I want something that's going to be man...

    Whiteface

    So from a Reddit post I just found a Senegalese guy explains it like this... "that’s not paint it’s milk! Wrestling was done by our ancestors to celebrate harvest, so milk would be poured, and cattle would be sacrificed for the « spirits ». So it’s not about painting yourself white, it’s rather...

    Haiti

    Well, without diving too deeply into Haitian history and politics, isn't the main issue there that the current President Ariel Henry is widely considered to be behind the assassination of the previous President (and most likely was) and that this illegitimate President is a puppet of the...

    Whiteface

    Mostly wrong across this post in my opinion... you understand what you're attributing to white privilege and white racism is really just "majority privilege" and "majority racism" or do you really believe that different racial groups within their own nations (Senegal for example) don't have the...

    £115k a year

    Shouldn't it be a pre-requisite of a being "servant of the people" that you at least have some kind of moral authority... would you say the same for a politicians using loop holes to avoid tax for example? I mean most regular people wouldn't have the morals to not use a loop-hole, do you think...

    £115k a year

    It’s an absolute disgrace, she should be given nothing … a woman who was hell bent on giving huge tax breaks to the wealthy on over £150k per year (like her for example) while millions can’t afford basic energy and food. I’ve known her type in my life, never had to struggle a day in her life...

    Yay she's gone. Who next?

    We might as well just call time on this country if Boris Johnson finds his way back to No.10... it's basically admitting we're done as a nation and don't care anymore. Is there no one in the Tories who is an actual competent, intelligent and capable candidate to run the country who actual has...

    Weapons shortage

    Russia has more nukes... and what? They're a pointless weapon of last resort with massive diminishing returns beyond the point of having enough of them to destroy the world two or three times over. I haven't read the last 5-6 pages of responses so I'm having trouble detangling what it is...

    BritishGas - I'm loosing the will to live

    I actually had one of their debt collection guys show up at my door, who was absolutely fine because I explained to him that I had no issue making payment and that the issue was with them claiming their system was constantly down whenever I actually managed to get through to someone. We set up...

    BritishGas - I'm loosing the will to live

    My mother lives alone in a one bedroom bungalow in which she intentionally keeps her heating off through much of the day because of the fear of energy prices. Her supplier, not sure if it's BG, insists that her monthly bills should be set higher than my monthly bills in a 3 bed 1930s semi with...

    Shocking crime in Thailand (mass shooting)

    Yeah I will be mate, the guy is an obvious troll... joined recently and begins by making hundreds of posts in the general discussion section of a DIY forum? Clearly an alt or previously banned account... I don't care what your politics is or your obsessive ideology, you don't come into a...

    Shocking crime in Thailand (mass shooting)

    Actually disgusting that someone took a thread of this nature and immediately derailed it to suit some petty bickering he has with some other member, making completely irrelevant points too. I wasn't going to respond but it's pretty effin disgraceful tbh.

    Shocking crime in Thailand (mass shooting)

    This is absolutely heart-wrenching, I have a little girl not much older than these kids, she finished nursery this year... the thought of it is unbearable. Rest In Peace to those little angels.

    How to lay a footpath on gravel driveway?

    Absolutely nothing to do with the question at hand but if the path is to let them wheel their bins out and in... do they really want to be putting the bins directly under their living room window like that? It'll be absolutely stinking and in the summer their house will be full of flies every...

    Nursing shortage to increase by 1

    She's simply expressing her frustration at a section of society who willingly contribute to absolutely strangling the NHS to the point it's barely functioning and then expect full use of it when they need it. I watched a Youtube video of a guy who built an X-ray machine for a couple hundred...
