No. It's a shrine to Two Jags. I stick pins in it. Nice to see you back in the fray where you belong. :wink:

All so very true. There are countless examples where market and social forces would correct an imbalance more effectively than government interference. Prescott's triumphantly-named "Pathfinder" scheme in the North is already coming a cropper because perfectly good houses he wants to demolish...

Chill runs through spine. Indeed that used to be a principle underpinning our legal system but things are changing. Administrators, rather than legislators, now have a nasty habit of laying down rules and presenting them as "the law". I have no idea whether this is the case with Corgi but...

Oilman, you are a difficult character. One moment you're wasting your breath on chat forums, the next you deliver a devastatingly insightful view of the topsy-turvy world of state regulation. In the past year or two you have spent a fair amount of time roasting me for bucking the system, then...

With the greatest respect to your missus, she would say that, wouldn't she? Cherie Blair would say the same. Speaking as someone whose wife is a magistrate, and who knows more than a little about court proceedings himself, the judicial system does take account of individual cases. It does, by...

While I have every sympathy for Humbug and don't wan't to get in the way of the compensation process, she was quoted £2375 for a boiler, 7 rads, a cooker point and installation from scratch. What price would you guys put on it? (presumably you've seen enough to take an informed guess) Is...

Plumbing looks tidy enough. But what about those electrics!

Please don't fret, MW. I have a physics degree from Cambridge but you still know more about central heating than I do. :cry:

Oi.. what about my chrono-proportional / hysteresis questions? :shock: Never been covered before. And such brilliant answers too :D

Quite right, Chris. Our postings crossed. But she could do the URL bit anyway!

Humbug - If you are going show the arrogant one this website, may I humbly suggest that you go back to the posting where you show the pictures and place a carriage return between each URL reference. As they stand, they're all on the same line, making the page so wide the text runs off-margin...

And there you've blown it, my dear. Total consumption this week about one bottle of wine and a couple of pints. As for lonely, isn't four house guests enough? But you carry on. Analyse away... Hey, this IS the wrong forum.

Speculative, perhaps. But the fact that you have to reduce a sincere (and, yes, affectionate) invitation into a clinical analysis of the wording suggests the tea is lacking a little sugar. May I also suggest you "speculate" too much on my alcohol consumption :D

By "they" I meant that type of forum. It's not discussion, it's soap boxes at dawn. Yes, cynicism can be good. Perhaps I should have left it at "embittered".

Hi Humbug. Those in the trade will be able to give you practical advice on how to resolve it, but one thing I would suggest is to take full advantage of all the developments on this forum. Assuming he has internet access, tell him to check out this link...

I'll tell you what. Although you can be a grumpy old s0d, over the years you have helped a great many people with your knowledge of plumbing & heating. I am one of them - and exremely grateful for it. But the ranters on these chat forums will never be shifted by combative argument. If anything...

Photoshop will open a PDF and allow you to treat it as a picture. Open the file, crop to the logo and save it as a jpeg, then import to the Word template by using Insert> Picture> From file. Photoshop Elements (much cheaper than full version) will do the job fine.

You're spending too much time on that forum for bigots and losers. Come back to where you belong.

Another historic moment from Colleague of Meldrew (and I DOOO believe it). One other thing: Is this really so? How dreadful. A PCB with solid-state components should last indefinitely. What goes on here? But PVM also hits the button. An aunt of mine had new central heating installed and...

John, you've made history. This is the first clear working description of chrono-proportional on this site (and, as far as I've managed to search, the www). Thank you. Moral of the story: Mine's a duffer. Paul
