    Women's football hurts my ears!

    Noted, but with the discussion surrounding whether power and weight were relevant to success in Women's football, I found this stat quite interesting. Looking at the England forward line in particular, I noticed that they dominated the aerial battles v Spain. Perhaps that physical edge also gave...

    Women's football hurts my ears!

    My mum bought me the 1978 Scotland world cup kit. It was in the bargain bin at our local sports shop. I've still got Rod Stewart's supporting single somewhere too.

    Tanking a shower area against tray

    I'm bedding a shower tray down this week. The manufacturers recommend bedding down on blobs of mortar, but I removed a tray a few years back and the cement blobs beneath it had dried and crumbled away leaving areas of the tray unsupported. Can anyone suggest an alternative? Thanking you kindly!

    So the tallest team did actually win the tournament. Interesting.

    Women's football hurts my ears!

    It's great that women's football is getting good coverage. That may be because it's a cheap option for the broadcasters, but if it inspires females of all ages to get into a sport, that's a very good thing.

    Women's football hurts my ears!

    My lad played for Norwich at U16. It's an incredibly physical game, and the lads are taught to be intimidating in order to get the upper hand psychologically. It's a simple point of fact that no female would ever have been able to compete in that merciless arena. It's about weight, power and...

    Women's football hurts my ears!

    I'd like to see the physical stats. I mean, I wonder if the most successful women's team are also the biggest?

    To all those that welcome/encourage the small boat migrants.

    So... rather than break the law and risk life and limb, asylum seekers should just stay put... unless France is considered a hostile country. Which it isn't.

    To all those that welcome/encourage the small boat migrants.

    It should be though. That's the point. I had to fill in countless forms, share my DBS, supply references and demonstrate that I could be an asset to the country... as opposed to a drain.

    To all those that welcome/encourage the small boat migrants.

    No, but like those who use the French 'ferry service' (merci beaucoup) I was trying to move from one lovely country to another.

    To all those that welcome/encourage the small boat migrants.

    I spent £800 trying to secure residency in NZ, but I failed. They didn't need any more teachers at that time. So, did I: a. Pay people traffickers to get me into the country illegally b. Count my blessings and crack on with my life France is perfectly safe. My son is taking his family there in...

    Women's football hurts my ears!

    I went to a 'football match' in NZ a few years back and I realised that only Brits know how to do football chants properly. Sorry Kiwis, but you're so bad at it. For example: 'CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP...' is supposed to be followed by a TWO syllable team name!! It doesn't...

    How to attach new loft floor joists to existing wall plate/rafters

    I managed to save head space in our loft by adding a second 4" joist [literally] on top of the existing ones! We used C24 timber, and the two joists had to be connected every 600mm with steel fixing plates. Building Regs were happy and there was zero flex in the floor.
