    Coalition launches Libya attacks

    Maybe it's just me, but isn't this one conflict we may want to stay out of? At the rate these uprisings are spreading across the middle east, how many more UN resolutions will be recommended, and how thin will we spread our own military resources to please these countries? Already there is...

    Heston Blumenthal

    All I was trying to convey is that I work at a private school, where they provide catering for the students, and the amount they have to spend per day per student is roughly the same. The chefs still manage to knock up some decent food.

    Heston Blumenthal

    The amount he has to spend is about the same as the catering company spend on the daily meals where I work, and the kids who frequent the college are a damn sight better off I would wager !!

    Wonders of the Universe

    I can quite understand what you guys are on about; Coxy does have that fixed, spasm-like grin/grimace on his face.......... but I would sooner watch this style of explaining about our world, or attempted explanation at least, than to watch a bland, matter-of-fact style of display, a la open...

    50 Cast to 40 Plastic Adaptor

    Ben, I have in the past ground down the outer diameter of the cast iron pipe to fit a 2" compression fitting. It's time consuming, but it is possible.

    Turning off the main radiator

    That is correct Mogg, it sounds like the bypass. So, Noob, unless you are able to install your bypass elsewhere, then you should leave it where it is :)

    Bending pipe rather than fitting joints????

    Kirkgas, point taken on the standards front, you have a valid point. But as the OP said, we've hijacked his post!! I think all the plstring was attempting to show was that you can use fittings and pipe bending to achieve a tight fit....... yes his bends were creased, the 22mm pipework in the...

    Bending pipe rather than fitting joints????

    To be honest, if you can afford them get a pipe bender set, read up on offsets, and have a go. You can do a decent job with them, and as long as the benders have decent formers you will do fine.

    Bending pipe rather than fitting joints????

    Exactly If someone was qualified enough to judge my work, then maybe they should be picking up a blowtorch and a set of benders and cracking on themselves........... thought not! :evil:

    Bending pipe rather than fitting joints????

    To quote, "Judge not, lest ye be judged........." Everyone is an expert in bending and soldering copper pipe now, eh? Good grief!! :roll: :roll:

    How many cameras does TOP GEAR have?

    Good grief MM lighten up!! It's an entertainment programme, if it was completely factual it would be on the Discovery Channel. Yes, JC can be slightly annoying with his apparent lack of mechanical knowledge, but six and a half million viewers like it, me included. People need to take a step back...

    700 enclosure on 760 tray?

    Could do. Not seeing pics means I can't advise fully, but it's feasible.

    700 enclosure on 760 tray?

    Most enclosures have adjustments both ways, but I'm not sure an enclosure will adjust 60mm without some form of spacing. Call the manufacturer if you can :)

    Tap head replacement advice?

    You will be able to purchase tap glands from most DIY sheds. You may have to take the original one with you for comparison. If not, then plumbers merchants will :)

    Why all the fuss about Keys and Gray?

    For some people, Joe, it is funny. I'm mixed race, and if I had to deal with every racist comment I heard, I'd be fighting full time. As I said, it's human nature............... that said it doesn't make it right. But who are you to stop it? You can choose to ignore it, you can choose to be...
