Newcastle is named after the "new" castle that was built there in 1080 by Billy the Conq's eldest son. It's high time they renamed the place Oldcastle. Or built another castle and renamed it Newnewcastle.

Did you throw up on a dog and think, "I don't remember eating that...!" ??

Was wild in the 80s too. Went there recently with Mrs S and me Ma as part of a whistle stop tour of the NE. Went to Alnwick, Cragside House, Rothbury, Seahouses, Durham, Newcastle, and dropped off to see the Angel of the North.

I was going to say why bother with ring final circuits? 20A radials should be ample. In the 80s, 1.5 for lighting was oddly seen by many sparks as "manly". You were a wimp if you used 1 milli. But particularly today, when most stuff is LED, you don't need 1.5 for lighting.

I don't know how the heck I've missed your thread, but there you are, I have. But now I've read through the whole lot. You and your other half, your mate and not forgetting the pussy cats have done an absolutely stonking job! And what an incredible resource for others who come here looking for...

Sika Stixall is good. 7.49.

I didn't think that Israelis believed in Jesus as the son of God.

Mate, you speak out of your butt. If you genuinely didn't want to post anything that would bring you to the attention of the authorities, you would stick to using a VPN and using chat rooms on the dark web.

COULD.... Ripping off the Govt, eh?

I've been using Screwfix for decades, since before there were shops. Since around 1993 I've been ordering via SF Direct and getting deliveries. I am doing a load of tidying up and found a catalogue dating back to Spring 1999. Some of the prices are as follows: 1999 Turboflush macerator...

I've been saying something similar here and elsewhere for many years.

So now all of a sudden it's not to do with the price any more, it's all to do with the ethics of castration? Your argument is all over the place! But, as you've chosen the ethics of castration, let's explore that. Do you eat castrated cows, sheep or pigs? Pork sold in this country is likely...

You moaned that M and S sold a turkey for a ton 20. I gave you a much better alternative: a great tasting bird reared well and more importantly you're supporting a family butcher, not a chain. And for far less money yet you're still moaning...

Our 10 lb capon from a local family butcher was way cheaper. A bargain at £70.

Had a capon yesterday. Expensive but, by all accounts, extremely tasty. 10lb bird, with 9 scoffing it. £70. Cooked 30 pigs in blankets, they all went. 3 lads in their 20s...They're like bleeding gannets... Got a nice piece of topside for another day. Only small, nearly £40. Meat is not cheap...

Finished Chrimbo dins. Forgot the bleeding sprouts. And the bleeding pigs not yet in blankets, that cost several arms and legs from the local butcher. We'll have them another meal. Got several frozen puds from COOK again this year. They went down well.

I've been to health centres, GPs surgeries, dentists etc, etc, even hospitals, where they have all been fitted. I have made a point of talking to someone senior in admin in some of those places and explaining, especially with the Multy Kontact sockets where it's not just the earth pin that...

Us too! We are limping along with ours until the new year. I am hoping to persuade Mrs S to remodel the kitchen with the swift removal of a stud wall. But the area on the other side has a patio door, so I'm not quite sure how to layout the working triangle. The oven is an electric Stoves...

What a bleeding palaver.

Is this socket position being covered over with anything?
