    Cavity wall insulation causing damp?

    Morning all. I moved into a flat in December and was informed that it'd recently had cavity wall insulation put in (maybe a fortnight before I moved in). Most of the windows are single glazed, so at the minute I'm having to wipe/dry them every day, as well as soak up the water that's sat...

    Lad on the BBC website, self-confessed metal thief. We often read about the thefts, but never hear from the thieves! Picture of his burns in the link (not for the squeamish). http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-13678266

    Stephen Hawking: 'There is no heaven; it's a fairy story'

    Full article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2011/may/15/stephen-hawking-interview-there-is-no-heaven I don't wish to enter into a debate about whether or not God is real, but why is it that whenever comments similar to his are made, religious types feel the need to condemn them with such...
