China owns substantial American debt which could come back to haunt the Americans sometime in the future. Owing so much debt to any one country can be very hazardous. But for now China just needs to play along because if they wanted to hurt America, in return they will be hurt, too, because...

Actually, I believe India refused aid from the UK this year saying they didn't need it. What's more, aid is often tied to projects. For example, say the UK gives substantial aid to Nigeria, in return, the Nigerians will give UK companies access to oil and gas fields, and other natural resources...

Didn't quite get that.

Please excuse my ignorance because I am completely nw to this, how would the fitter access the chimney or create access to the chimney from the living room for ventilation. As I say, I dont have an existing fireplace. I mean I just don't see a route to the chimney from the ground floor. Do...

I sort of agree with you. All of this was prior to the local elections, but it didn't work. They thought being seen to be tough will stop people from deserting them. Having said that, he is a promoter of terrorism and deserves punishment. But I think he should face his punishment in a British jail.

Its basically going to be a lost generation throughout Europe. Its dififcult to see how living standards will rise for at least another 2 decades, maybe 3 or 4. Euroepan countries as single entities cannot compete with the US, China and India, all three countries as big or far bigger than almost...

I don't agree with that. They are Muslims and they see it as sinful if they mess around with their own girls, and because the Western girls are non-Muslims, these perverted men think its OK to mess around with what they term as infidels. Even the judge suggested they wouldn't have done it on...

I think the problem here is that some Pakistani men in the UK see white women being easy and pieces of meat they can throw around. They will never do the same with Pakistani women because they have too respect for them.

Thanks for that. I am reading here that flueless fires can be dangerous and some fitters won't even touch them. If I get a balanced or flued fire, how does the fitter get access to the chimney? I have no idea how these things work? Also, will the fitter recess the fire into a structure...

I also think a gas fire will best for me both from a cost and heating standpoint. However, I have no idea which type to get. There appear to be several types. I have a standard chimney that you see on top of houses in many parts of London (class A type I think). I also know there is the flue...

My understanding is that its very safe and does not require ventilation. It ventilates into the air inside the room. Whether it messes the glass up in a year or two I don't know.

Yes its very expensive, but I figure a nice fireplace and a good fire would cost in excess of £1000 and another £200 for installation. Do you think something like this is safe? Another option would be this one http://www.johnlewis.com/230666210/Product.aspx This one sticks out a bit and...

Thought about installing a fireplace and either a gas or electric fire, but instead of all the hassle would instead now prefer just getting one of these Decoflames and simply attaching it to the wall. Very modern looking and runs on biofuel. Thinking about getting this one...
