  1. Probably that Trump wouldn't hesitate to speak directly to Putin and say in uncertain terms stop or else. Uncle Joe showed how useless he was with the debacle of Afghanistan, that's hardly a poster for being the world's policeman.
  2. I feel like firing up the Xbox for a game of COD, I'm somewhat scared if I show my skills it'll pop up with a warning to report for duty at the local TA.
  3. What are you currently using, as pickups are generally commercial only and aren't the most comfortable.
  4. Sir, where's the respawn point ? Or, why are all the recruits called soap.
  5. Résultats Google Recherche d'images correspondant à https://i2-prod.bristolpost.co.uk/incoming/article8056496.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/0_smoke-control-areas.jpg IMAGES.APP.GOO.GL Most cities already are
  6. Full repairing lease, think that's what my old warehouse had.
  7. You're effectively advocating for a nation wide clean air zone. Even the current system is woefully pointless as it's not enforced, most appliances sold are more than compliant but due to the cost of testing they aren't useable in a smoke control area. For example a lot of things are blue angel, German version of DEFRA exempt but there is no EU wide standard.
  8. You might get got for change of use, but should fall under small rate relief and effectively be free. Roughly 21x9m = 189m2 189m2 x £55 = 10,395 10,395 x 0.499 multiplier = £5187 Under 12k valuation should be free.
  9. So you want to ban existing efficient stoves or the fuel for them, what changes are you suggesting ?. Nothing will ever be enough for these activists tho, until your eating the bugs and cowering under your duvet with equal measures of fear and frostbite.
  10. Well we've had clean air zones for decades, 1960s I think. So either it's not enforced or it's something else. The typical knee jerk reaction to just make more rules is backwards and a waste of time and energy. It's like the current knife thing they are doing, knee jerk instead of enforcement of the current rules. It's like suicide is illegal, erm good luck with a prosecution!.
  11. Didn't think it was necessary, but presumably any epoxy sealer wouldn't be a bad thing. Just make sure your cuts are nice and smooth.
  12. Very true, but good to see someone use one going through a combustible material.
  13. It's the exhaust
  14. Plus you have to love the picture of clearly imported kiln firewood from a Lithuanian company.
  15. Disposable arb approved hazmat suits coming to a dealer near you!.

    HS2 Over

    I'd expect nothing less. From an engineer perspective I would have thought they should be designed to remove or reverse drive everything except the cutting head/shield back out the tunnel.
  17. I thought there was no point crying over spilt milk ?
  18. Probably like the daddy longlegs being the most poisonous spider without large enough fangs to be a threat.

    I'm not so sure, bridge = maintenance forever of the structure. Concrete tunnel is a sealed thing, a lot of the recent tunnels are expensive because they actually buried 1 or 2 TBM as they started at both ends and did a 90 in the middle. If memory serves there's a couple still in the channel tunnels.

    Was that the one where they built concrete sections and floated them out after excavating a bit trench ?.

    US to get first dedicated high-speed railway – built by Network Rail INEWS.CO.UK The move comes just months after the northern leg of the UK's own high-speed rail service HS2 was scrapped
  22. How bad a condition are we talking, pictures would be good. Any decent metal shop should be able to repair most damage, providing they atleast have a starting point. As I'm guessing Timberwolf will be wanting a couple of grand at a minimum, unless they have a trade in pile for Service Exchange/Salvage.
  23. Already happened, new cavity wall insulation regs are 150mm
  24. It has been done, whilst not the same as today's standards, you can't just keep adding more and more. A better joined up solution needs to be found especially for the majority of housing which is terraced, sticking combustible foam on the outside is not a solution. Maybe a scheme allowing the rear to be extended in bulk with internal insulation along with the roof, maybe a pay now or we increase your council tax band for 10 years?.
  25. Because that's all been done during the great 90-2010 home insulation scams that bled subsides dry. Next you'll be saying standby wastes billions, TVs of the last 10-15 years use around or less than 1w which is nothing around £3. Try motorway lights, streetlights, empty offices all after midnight and that's before you get to TV and radio transmitters at 250kw+ Vs 10kw digital. Personally start rebuilding magnox, make the core larger and sacrifice higher temperatures as we aren't making plutonium on purpose. Calderhall cost 35m in 1956, even if you said 1bn now. That's still cheap compared to Hinkley at 25bn.
