That's because it is well rehearsed, my brother in law is a cop in Glasgow and they've been rehearsing what will be done on the death of the Monarch for years under the title Operation Unicorn. Her death isn't unexpected, she's 96 years old and been having health scares in the past few years...

I don't agree with cancelling sporting events really, especially the all female boxing card at Wembley this weekend because boxing is a sport where the fighters train for 2 months to specifically hit peak performance on a certain date. It's grossly unfair to do this to those fighters...

I don’t believe civilised societies should be murdering people in general, the scope is always there for innocent people to be found guilty of a crime he didn’t commit. Let’s say this Nee character gives up a false name, of someone no one in the underworld will care about and looks similar...

I'm not normally a fan of the death penalty but I'd quite happily see the guys responsible for this torn limb from limb in Liverpool city centre.

But surely we’re talking about the charging standards guidelines being too lenient / insufficient?

There was a case in Liverpool last night of a 9 year old girl and her parents being shot, the little girl is dead and the parents seriously wounded. I see no reason for this scumbag to ever walk the streets again. Seems like unless the crime becomes a massive public outrage, like Jamie Bulger...

I'll grab a box of that Toupret from Toolstation, I need to pick up some other stuff too. I've ordered this sanding pad for my pole, you can't connect a vac to this obviously but I intend sanding the whole wall area and ceiling. I've got a Henry Hoover and the carpets are sacrificial so I'm...

I'm looking to fill some trowel marks and imperfections and the like and then sand prior to painting. What's your go to product for filling on a plastered wall?

Standing seam roofs (and it sounds like your describing a typical system) are fantastic and long lasting assuming it's installed correctly by an experienced installer. Traditional site formed standing seam roofing e.g. VM Zinc, etc are pretty specialised systems, as someone else pointed out...

Just saw this, if directed at me then I'm on the Makita 18v platform.

??? Was this meant to be directed at me, it doesn't seem to bear any relevance to my post.

Ahh yes, the Domino isn't going to be an option unfortunately but they are pretty amazing looking, watched many a Peter Millard video on Youtube. That's two recommendations for the same kit in this thread so I guess it's well regarded... I'll order those. (y)

The existing one is fixed with 3nr nails for sure, bearing in mind this is something that would have been installed at the end of the 1930s. When I install the new one it will likely have some form of handrail fixing kit although I find the cap/button that covers most of these to be a bit...

I'm looking to renew my stair bannisters (base/hand rail, spindles, spacers) while retaining the existing newel posts. The layout is a straight run on the first floor... free standing newel post on one end and half newel post on the other against a wall. The run up the stairs has a newel post...

Oh yes, I forgot about extreme edge case scenarios of Nazi war propaganda films... let's take another look at Huck Finn after all.

All art has to be viewed in the context of the prevailing culture of the time, you can't retroactively censor stuff.. the same stuff made today that we all think is "right on" and progressive will be viewed in 30 years time as antiquated and problematic. (apologies for using that stupid word in...

It's creator "Notch" was already cancelled for being "problematic" a long time ago. Well, as "cancelled" as you can cancel a multi-billionaire that is. He's shunned by his industry, lets say that.

Dot n Dab it if you don't want to use battens.

Maybe be better posting this in the plastering sub-forum mate... grey bit looks like a repair using concrete to me but what's your intention for decorating after, are you painting, wallpapering, etc?

:D
