For me there is no alternative to Labour. The tories work hard at demonising single mums. They also cast aspertions on everyone who, when down on their luck, has the misfortune of having to go cap in hand for benefits until they get another job. Ok i accept that SOME mums kinda bring the...

You lot make me laugh. How the fook is Tony Blair to blame for the eastern euro's coming here ? Are you guys really this dumb ???? It was part of being in 'europe' that our borders were opened. Do you really think he could've said no ? Do you really think he could tell the spanish fishermen...

Well at least tactical voters bother to vote ! To not vote at all is an outright disgrace. And people, including those on here, that aren't thouroughly ashamed of themselves for not voting should be. No vote then no complain. If you can't be bothered to walk to your polling station and cast...

Nick Clegg comes out with a pathetic and grovelling apology for not keeping one of his parties main, and frankly ridiculous, election promises. And Liberal are the only party to vote for........ha. Fook the students anyway. Who gives a toss about them. They'll do quite alright in life. I care...

Man has probably been around longer than anyone knows. Just didn't learn to draw till a few million years ago. The earth had more scavengers then probably so there would be no human remains.

To be honest this sort thing has to be specified by a structural engineer and passed by building control once in place. Many forces are being placed on these beams and it all has to be calculated properly.

Yeah i would think that would be ok. I would go for 125mmx50mm (5"x2") joists. 75x150 would cost a lot more and would seem excessively large. Unless weight is a factor....is it ?

Solid brickwork will be even worse than cavity brickwork in this sort of situation. I would dig a couple of foot down and a couple foot out and build a small retaining wall so that all you take out was enough to let the lower part of your house to breath and dry out. This is what i would...

I would do as 'noseall' says and clamp two 1 metre lengths of 4"x2" either side of the break. With them clamped in place i would drill 4 10mm holes through and using coach bolts with a washer and nut on one end tighten them right up together. First you will need to hoover underneath the...

yes you should be able to remove a roofing sheet to get access to your soil pipe. Some roof sheets are stuck down.

Hi, you say the ground level outside is 2 foot higher than your floor level...? You really need to get that ground level down. When you dig down for your drainage check out where your damp proof course is. Your ground level needs to be 150mm/6inches below this. Any chance of you getting a...

Hi, this is quite a common thing. A lot of people knock these off when cleaning their conservatories. Mine just clip in place so it's not a problem for me. If i were you i think i'd try bigger screws. Either bigger screws or i'd get a rawplug into the hole that the i was screwing into...

I can see the difference yes. I don't really have the stomache for a fight over it here. Disabled people are much better looked after in this country. Disabled people have rights and are represented too. In some countries disabled people have nothing at all. If they get to eat then they have...

I wonder if we are giving lots of aid to India so that the whole indian populace don't all come over here with their 20 children and live the life of relative luxury on the dole ? There used to be a queue of 500,000 people waiting to emigrate to England...that was in the early 80's i think. I...

Hey ...gypsies are people too. Imagine if you'd been born one. You wouldn't like to be badly treated would you ?

I'll build you one for 50,000. Or 62,000 if you want it done quickly. As long as you keep the design nice and simple without too many fancy features.

Hey peterperfic......touche you little selective drama queen....lol Aid is aid. Not an excuse to nip in when the chips are down so that we can profit later. That would surely be called 'opportunism'. I think you seem a little mixed up here. Other countries give aid too. Don't be so...

You're having a laugh aren't you ????? So if i help a bloke up that has fallen or is struggling He has to buy something i'm selling ?????? What sort of aid is that then ????? Aid is about giving isn't it ??? So all the tidal wave victims in Phuket that we chipped in for have to now...

Good footballing side Moldovia. Anyway it doesn't seem to matter how crap the other side is we normally give them the time and space to look a million times better than our players who can barely string three passes together without losing the ball. And they get paid sooooooo well for what...

Be careful brother. I have no doubt that what we see happening in Syria would happen here. If we were to try and change the 'order' of things. We are good little subjects that play the game by their rules. We allow the 'order' to exist. Why half of us don't even bother to vote pffff. It...
