Watching the video of the bridge collapse one thing that struck me was the number of pipes , cables or services of some kind that had been laid in what was presumably a bridge built before those pipes. Perhaps by opting for the cheaper option of digging into the existing bridge rather than...

Yes Only fools and horses was funny but I don't seem to find the repeats quite as funny second time around. On the other hand things like Dads army , Fawlty towers and Blackadder don't seem to have lost any of their sparkle even if I can literally mime to them. Decent current comedies are rarer...

Bat crap does make cracking fertiliser , I know I've used it. I've also worked on buildings where bats were resident , well to be exact work is carried out while the bats aren't there. On most of the buildings only some of the droppings were removed in order for the bats to still find it homely...

Could you perhaps hinge the decking to allow for cleaning of any debris that may fall through?

"Bestest " is probably a personal thing but one thing for sure is yours is a different shape than Bolo's :)

I always thought he had strings to help him :)

This year for the first time ever we were encouraged to go out for dinner ( mainly by my sister in law who cooked last year and moaned and moaned about how stressful it all was and how she couldn't face it all again this year). Anyway we went to the local Indian which is only a few minutes walk...

Used paint that has been over ten years old with no problem. I have come across a couple of tins of emulsion that I reckon must have been frozen at some point and that had definitely gone off. Not only had it separated but it absolutely stank . I also had a tub of fence guard that froze . That...

Reckon it's all a fix anyhow. I mean Miss Universe and all the contestants are human?

Thanks. I like to try to be at least.

Good for you and if you do I will solemnly promise not to take the mick , now if everyone else will do the same ..........

But just why aren't they meant to be worn in February , June or September ? Would anyone buy a pair of jeans that could only be worn for one week in a year? And yes our retail outlets thrive on it and more specifically on those gormless enough to buy into it.

Perhaps a ban would be going too far but they are a symbol of how wasteful society is. Most if not all of these jumpers are made on the other side of the planet , shipped over here and worn little more than a couple of times ( go on just how many have you seen being worn in febuary , June or...

I'm guessing the " green ones" might be a reference to their actual colour and are in fact tanilised? Just to throw something else into the mix. A poster on another forum I use had formed planters by using concrete gravel boards and short lengths of posts so no problems whatsoever with rotting.

Would it have been a tad more acceptable if I'd put in a rolling eyes emoticon ? :mrgreen:

Corrected for you , and the proof http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-35048796

A picture is worth a thousand words(y)

Very kind , but with a little effort I could talk as much drivel as the next person

I wouldn't blame global warming but it certainly doesn't help when the more , er , rotund members of society think it's ok to squeeze themselves in to bikinis and speedos.

Looking at the picture it looks like iron staining . Bit of moisture and the nails have rusted a little and stained the timber. I'd say probably unlikely to sand out although they may lighten a touch. Personally I wouldn't worry about filling the nail holes , never really looks right and the...
