    fixing gaps between window and wall - causing draughts

    * Should not cause damp. Foam = insulation = warmer surfaces = less damp. This assumes generally reasonable levels of humidity/temp in the building. * If the frames are good, glazing units can be replaced. If not, the foam can be hacked away rather easily so no issues. * Yes it is worth it...

    Using Firm's Resources for Private Communication

    Firstly it depends what you think a contract is for? It does not protect your job or provide any protection to any agreement beyond the notice period. An employer can decide to double your hours and half you pay, but not before the notice period expires. Just the same as your phone contract is...

    How much to save for my children's university education?

    50% now go to uni, up from 25% from the days of yore. Now education is until you are 18. You can blame whichever nasty party is in power, the result will still be the same, it has to be paid for.

    Fuel prices........what can we do??

    Car tax like the TV tax is an outdated relic that needs to die. Just chuck another 1/2p or whatever onto fuel.

    Oak floor installation gone bad

    The Typical drying time for a screed is 1mm per day*. So at 3-6mm, if he installed it less than 6 days after pouring (note* minimun of 6 days), then the screed would have been to wet. Some might argue the use of seals will stop this moisture coming upwards, I'm not convinced, but that argument...

    Another stupid dog another stupid victim.

    I'm against licensing because it will only act as yet another tax on something that people 'want something done' about, without actually doing anything. Just like car tax, penalises the honest, achieves the square root of 0.

    Building Planters and maybe a trellis

    vegtable or flowerbed? Flowerbed = just throw in pre pressure treated timber. Vegtable = line it with DPC. You are in danger of overthinking it.

    Can I use duck tape to seal windows cheaply temporarily?

    Maybe he froze to death.

    Can I use duck tape to seal windows cheaply temporarily?

    Normal tape will provide the same result (good or bad), without risking damage.

    Shaker Aamer, Guantanamo detainee.

    I suspect they knew exactly what he did and had sufficient evidence. But it is likely that any crime he commited would have carried an insignificant sentance, I suspect someone decided that it suited their/our purposes better to hold him for a longer period. Stupid decision that backfired imo.

    Wear something bright at night.

    I think empip just watched a different video to the rest of us, i'm sure when he watches the correct one he will see his error.

    Building Planters and maybe a trellis

    'eco friendly' is a bit of a vague term. Preservatives are toxic (it is how they work), they won't kill your plants (would be too diluted), but you wouldn’t necessarily want to eat veg from a small planter made of treated timber (not that there are any confirmed health incidents from this)...

    I agree with Donald Trump

    Nazi Germany was full of moderates (ohyesidid), the silent majority (again Hitler got 30% something of the vote) can be considered part of the whole if they support the Islamic regimes they live within or shelter. This '3 million moderates' argument, why should I care about this majority when...

    Building Planters and maybe a trellis

    copper organic pressure treated sleepers or oak sleepers (I don't know what 'green ones' are, some kind of monster tribe?). Deck boards will not be treated to a level suitable for direct ground contact.

    Mould growth question

    +1 'why now' after so many years of no problems is a little more uncertain, but still would bet money on above.

    I agree with Donald Trump

    Islamic countries are typically war torn, voilent, sexist (as in women have no rights) and corrupt places. But we have chavs, clearly this is a relevent comparison, we have chavs = therefore people from islamic countries are OK. Idiots.

    Vauxhall Zafira Car Fires

    The problem with these cars is not the co2, but the particulates, which are a real pollution concern (could not care less about global warming, so what if the planet gets warmer). Dirty cars kill.

    Cycle hero or tw@t?

    Nothing wrong with cycling on the pavement, just how you do it that matters. Had a car written off recently by a driver with a fake numberplate, police can't do now't. Your having a laugh if you think number plates on bikes will achieve more than the square root of zero. The problem with the...
