Labrador. Never heard one for a plumber, well not any the mods will let me post anyway. One I refer to as catastrophy- nobody needs to ask me who.. :lol:

I've often pondered the idea of using a 6" high power inline fan with flexiduct right up to the work point. Anyone tried this, for grinding or SDS chasing?

From my end, cos thats what clients want. Small recessed lights are the contemporary look. You need lots of them cos they don't spread the light so well. The tech in the item you posted looks intresting, but judging by the number of R80 and PAR38's I rip out to fit MR16's people don't want...

To be honest I liken the likes of the BNP to a blowoff valve on a pressure vessel. If it's going bananas [ie people are voting BNP], theres a failure of the main parties to maintain a balanced atmosphere, to make people feel they are being listened to and their concerns are being addressed...

Oh, there's going to be a lot of estate agents in the dole queue. I'd expect between 50-75% of their shops to close. It was a few months ago, I was stood outside the Dublin Castle pub on parkway in camden, when it really sunk in just how many there are- I counted over a dozen just from the...

Can't see that they offer anything much more than a bog standard grinder. except more weight and less space on the van. And of course you'll still need a bog standard grinder for boxes etc.

Seems a bit excessive, and possibly not practically enforceable. But, enough already of the outrage... without companies like ryanair and easyjet pioneering "alternative" pricing strategies, flying would still be a luxury for the privileged.

Customer of mine has one, reckons it's brill. Seems odd to me when all the power tools are now being made with cushioning and damping to prevent RSI and vibration aliments...

Isn't a pension by nature deferred earnings so technically his already, and nobody elses to claim? How would any of you feel if you spent years at a company, admittedly F'ed something up and were fired, but then had your pension seized? Would you like to set a precedent for such? of course...

Hahaha, they spend umpteen pages comparing it to 50w halogen and 18w CFL then mention it needs a 165mm cut out, and looking at it I'm guessing 7 or 8 inches of headroom... I've got a client now having their home refitted who want downlights in some areas- bathrooms, work areas- but also want...

It'd need assessing and probably converting, depends how much you like it and want to spend on it. there are people who rebuild and rewire ancient chandeliers to modern standards so I doubt it'd be a problem. I was asked once for E15 lamps to fit a US fitting once. (poss E15 it was def...

In real terms, there's little chance of it "degrading" in sunlight. I'd be more concerned about rodent damage at that level, and the mutual detrimental effects of running 230v and an aerial together.

The markets crazy at the moment, you need to be desperate to sell. Customer of mine wanted to sell her house a couple of months ago, and while she accepted the effects of the downturn and hence provisionally accepted a relative offer- she found the owners of places she wanted to buy refused...

Yes. Plus the nature of what it is, a computer, means bugs are "repairable" and the conversations I've had up till now have been along the lines of "it's all being worked on". I guess if I wanted it repaired it'd be easier but I've just lost all faith now as I cant risk another flat...

Got a countdown timer or alarm on the cellphone? USE IT!! RELIGIOUSLY!! Anyway being a traffic warden is not a "job", it's a welfare scheme for people who got dropped on the head when young and don't understand what normal or decent behavior is.

Like fameport says I'd go down the route of a metalclad cartridge fuse board and SWA. I'd say use 3 core then you can lose the earth armour at the socket connections for a cleaner earth, but how much difference this makes I don't know.

my neighbours are irrelevant, it's all about what the client wants. And thats a lot of light, right when they need it.

Buying an x-gang dimmer then mix'n'matching the modules is often required. Richmond I think make a 500w single module width dimmer that'll fit in a standard 2 gang dimmer (with a 47mm backbox) they say is suitable for internally fused mains voltage halogen lamps- I've yet to find a...

Yeah a "polite" conversation (however polite a conversion in which you tell a retailer their premium product is such a PoS that it's beyond practical use and therefore you're entitled to a refund can be) but I need to be forearmed with knowing exactly where I stand legally first. Now don't...

Well yes thats the point of having a PIR detector. otherwise you might as well have it on a random timer.
