Evening all, I normally post in another subject on this forum, hence post count. I recently rendered my garage with (cotton white) monocouche, and would love to hang a couple of baskets on it for the summer but I'm concerned about staining the render, would appreciate honest opinions please. I...

Good evening all, never ventured into these murky waters :D , but would really appreciate some help here. My daughter's washing machine is leaking, but only when it fills. I've had a good look underneath, but can't find where the water is coming from. It doesn't leak when the drum is...

Morning all, I'm in the middle of writing a speech for my daughter's wedding, and need a bit of help with a line that I thought of last night. The line will read something like this; "I thought I would use the internet for some ideas for this speech, so I Googled XXX, ..." The...

Whilst I have the greatest admiration for athletes who train hard to reach the pinnacle of fitness, so that they can represent their country in the Olympics, I cannot for the life of me understand why we have to spend trillions on building an Olypic village just for one tournament. In this...

1996 audi a4 1.9 tdi The fan belt has broken, and I've bought a replacement but can't find a diagram anywhere to show me which way to fit the belt around the pulleys. Thanks in anticipation.

On my travels yesterday, I went through the roadworks around J26 M25 Either side of the carriageway, behind the roadworks (in the field), quite long stretches of fencing has been put up. This fencing is simply black plastic strip, about 18 ins high nailed to wooden posts. Anyone know...

I spoke to a friend last night who is a nurse. She was telling me that it was her first day back at work after a dispute had resulted in her suspension. The reason for her suspension was because she had the temerity to criticise a manager's abilities to his face. At no time was rude...

Until 6 mnths ago I lived on my own, my girlfriend of 9 yrs (I don't like to rush things) moved in, in April. Up till then, my personal hygiene products in the shower consisted of a bar of soap, and some cheapo supermarket shampoo. Trust me on this one, I am very concious of personal...

So, Wogan's announced he's going next March. :( I for one will miss his gentle banter in the mornings, and am appalled that he's to be replaced by that loudmouth twit Chris Evans :evil:

Travelling to work very early this morning, I came across a young girl (late teens) thumbing a lift. She was on a quiet, unlit country road (it was still dark), and she was dressed in dark clothing. It would appear she had been drinking heavily. My dilemma was, do I drive past her and hope...

Only just got tinternet working again, so I've not been on for a few days. I expected this subject to be top of the pile. I find it incredible that he was released, regardless of compassion,simply because he was sentenced to life, therefore should die in jail. Also, surely the powers that...

Popped into a hardware shop this morning to get spare key cut. In front of me was a young woman with a handful of 3" nails, she asked the shopkeeper "are these 6" nails?" I was tempted to ask her how she normally visualised 6", but thought better of it. Made me feel better anyway. :lol:

I don't believe it! Just been in a customers house and heard an advert for Christmas. July 14th Is this a record? :evil:

Hi guys, I'm thinking of installing an electric boiler to power my as yet non-existent central heating system. For reasons that are too lengthy to list, oil or lpg is not suitable (we have no mains gas) I quite like the look of the Dimplex Ascari, and was wondering if any of you have...

Now here's a first. Just been to look at a job for a customer, and said I will get the bits for him from Plumbfix, so far, so good. Customer says, "While your there, will you get me XYZ, because I like their stuff, and it's reasonably priced". So he's given me not only his bank card...

Whilst my girlfriend and I would normally eat dinner with telly off. (In order to practice that old thing called conversation), tonight, she insisted on watching Jacko memorial. I havn't come so close to projectile vomiting since I was a teenager. What a hideous display of hypocrisy...

If I were Kevin Webster, I'd have given Molly a damn good talking to by now :D

Saw this and laughed

I see blu-tac has now become a victim of the health &safety police, along with that well-known killer Pritstick. :D See today's Daily Mail Ps I would really appreciate somebody explaining how to do a link, so that "Daily Mail" comes up in blue and links straight to the article. Cheers Phil
