    duncan bannatyne

    yes i know what you mean. To an extent he was in a more favorubale position caue he was broke so nothing to lose anyway. For someone who has a house (or two) and a comfy lifestyle, it may not be an attractive proposition to gamble his possessions on something which may not take off.

    duncan bannatyne

    He is one of the dragon den dragon and his story off-screen is a classic of rags-to-riches entrepreneurship. I've not read his book but from brief reviews it appears that this guy made his 270 million pounds fortune from starting out with an ice cream van at thirty after having been to prison...

    That 9/11 programme last night

    this was the worst bit for me in the documentary. To think that you would rather jump to certain death gives you an idea of how things were up there. tbh I still ask myself why they did not try to use rescue helicopters to get some of those hanging by the windows. Granted the smoke and heat...

    cutting rectangular hole in upvc fascia board

    Woody, The horizontal fascia is about 15 to 20 cm wide. Would it be structurally safe to drill a 102 mm diameter hole in this? Thats why i though of using the rectangular ducting, it would mean cutting off a smaller size hole in the fascia rather than a circular one. The horizontal upc...
