Put some in a small kitchen - not my own :D :D Looks great, lasts pretty well, but after I'd put it down I knew I wouldn't ever want to live with it. Noisy - worse than solid floor and it makes noises all of its own. And (its blue like mrcrow's) it shows every tiny bit of dirt.

Never done it - but I'm sure I've seen stuff on this forum that would be helpful. Try searching.

Well I didn't really say it myself. http://www.sussex.ac.uk/library/speccoll/collection_introductions/muirnorden.html

Look here: http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=19996 for really helpful information on plastering - and good luck.

Don't go for the cheap refill solution. Best quality roller gives best quality finish and easiest application. If re-using, stuff it into a carrier bag, squeeze out the air, tie the neck. That will keep fine for a long time - though if it's a lambswool roller it will rot if you leave it for...

....try with sweet chilli sauce and butter.. OK it's confession time. I really hate, indeed fear, the stores. But my daughter kitted out her flat for next to nothing in IKEA and it was all sound stuff. More than that, I have probably eaten in every IKEA store up and down the country east...

Frank Muir and Denis Norden wrote many, many radio and, I think, TV comedy programmes for the BBC. Long before either of them appeared personally. "The Frank Muir and Denis Norden Archive, deposited at the University of Sussex in 2000, contains more than six hundred radio and television...

Curious - I get that "Why did you......" question all the time. She is definitely not looking for a "Because....." answer. I think as far as she's concerned the only "Because....." answer making sense is "Because I'm stupid, careless, thoughtless, clumsy, untidy, forgetful...(pick your own)"...

Anyone there around Oxford? Seems to me to be the centre of the keep-to-the-limit universe. Was there in the summer driving a car with cruise control. For about 20 miles around Oxford, on any kind of road including dual carriageways I was never passed while driving at the speed limit - and...

Yep - that's the real pita, and the bit that really scares me. You get taken for a long, winding wander through a cluttered warehouse full of little rooms with no windows and lots of obstructive people. Really bad for claustrophobics. Are those places really fire-safe?

No challenge - my tech expertise stopped being relevant long ago. But I still carry the burden of the mindset that made for precision and quality back then.

Ah, no, in fact quite the reverse: if having read the words I found any ambiguity or was unhappy with the meaning I would check back. Hasn't happened yet - "found wrong" - gasp of shock and horror [/arrogance] It comes from years of analysis and reading and writing of system specs. EDIT...

Hi Reg - As a relatively recent arrival myself let me give you one tiny bit of advice if you post to Electrics UK. Don't mention neon screwdriver. Otherwise there is a huge amount of useful information here and real people will answer sensible questions at any time of day or night. You'd...

AdamW: Sorry about that - slippy fingers, not sloppy English. Indeed he would have spoken in Latin. I guess having used the English quote I should have used the anglicised version of his name - but that would have deprived you of the opportunity to make a puerile point. I did try to find...

And your point is.....?

Perhaps not, although he did suggest that my statement of what I understood him to have meant was correct. Mind you, in the context of all you have said I am reminded that what I understood him to have said may not have been ALL of what he meant to day. On the subject of sloppy English, I get...

Ah, Hmm, I see. There is history here of course. Not having the history, only working from the words, I don't get the same message as you. If I read it though an imagined context of previous "Tony Martin" dialogue, you could of course be right. As for the long sentences, they will have...

On my switches the placing of the terminals on the back is a clue to which is common. There is one at the bottom and two at the top (or the other way round) - with the one at the bottom being common. I wouldn't want to be depending on that - but it would be what I tested for, or tried out...

Heyho Ninebob. How did it go today?

Since I turned the knob on my Barcelona down - from about 11o'clock to about 9 o'clock - I have had no problems at all. I am still a bit anxious about the "green light on but boiler never coming on" problem that I had a few days ago. Is there a nasty problem lurking in there or should I...
