    The ignore button

    I don't ignore people for a couple of reasons, but mainly because its sort of ignorant :D Also, I think its very small-minded to just exclude those who challenge your views and asert their own. As for those who obviously post only to insult...they get banned, not ignored if theres any justice.

    Altruism

    Of course altruism can exist - Its the intent that defines an act as either altruistic or, being a tokenistic do gooder....just as intent defines whether a person is a murderer or careless. Why has this stumped people? isn't this obvious? If you are motivated purely to help another, and...

    B&Q Selling Consumer units

    Who told you that? Anyone who is competent is entitled as long as its not for someone else whos paying you. If its your boiler (from B&Q for instance) and your house you can. Just get a Corgi chap to commission and test it, that way your guarantee will be valid and you know its safe.

    The Worst Smell

    Would other things would work like smelling salts, to revive someone if you had none of the actual salts? It just stinks right? so a bit of dog poo would work just as well? or farting in the patients face? Pray you never faint around me :)

    The Worst Smell

    The worst assault on my nasal passages was while working in a block of retirement flats. Our firm had contracts to do 2 idential jobs in 2 of the flats so they sent me and another installer. We had a look in the first flat (occupant was at relatives) and it was immediately obvious the occupant...

    amount of adhesive

    I don't beleive in using excess adhesive on bad walls or floors...its a waste of materials and doesn't make a good job imo. If its a wall then plaster it first - if its a concrete floor, use selfleveling floor compound - if its floorboards, boardover it first. Adhesive is only meant to...
