    What's blocked the core ?.

    It's alright it grows on trees 🙂, couldn't resist.

    So we all buying loose tea from now on ?. As I guess even the glue used to seal the tea bags must release something into hot water.

    Jebus, American style death row. What you in for, killed a bloke during a bank robbery, you I used too much silicone in Mrs miggins bathroom. She was me mum before getting shanked!.

    Woooah, it was AHPP that wanted to ban the builders best friend!. I was being a bit pragmatic, I like a bathroom that doesn't leak through to the living room.

    Oh that black woven mesh, I get the idea to prevent mixing of aggregate. But at the same time, the Romans just kept adding finer material until it compacted into a solid mass. Not sure how that all works with these new porous road they want people to use instead of good old tarmac.

    Do you mean DPM ?. Usually for people who don't want to put a deep enough layer down in the first place to stop things growing through.

    It is a necessary evil for most jobs tho. But like expanding foam, evil but somewhat necessary.

    What are biodegradable plastics made from ?. Washing clothes releases it into the rivers as you can't filter anything for very long micron sized. Personally eat healthy, use common sense and avoid huffing anything questionable and probably avoid vegetable oils. Life is too short to worry about stuff you have no control over 🙂.

    There aren't really going to be any real punishments tho, other than deselection or not being elected. They were all for it regardless of the party, both local and national.

    I think we can safely assume that it's just the tip of a very wide iceberg of bs from all of those incharge regardless of party.

    Loved watching the conservative guy rip into khan. Summed it up in reply to the argument is like smoking the ban in pubs. No it's a fee to smoke in pubs and we have to buy them from you.

    The machines in that price range aren't really built with those sorts of features. It's more On/off and a low oil level sensor. If it's not running at the correct rpm it will be stringy as it's able to physically pull it through before the blade has a chance to get it. Never expect perfect little chips off a small machine, it's more size reduction than pretty chippings. Personally take a shed load more pictures and speak to them on Monday, as they should have shown you how to atleast fire it up and get upto speed.

    Are you renting this from a reputable place or from Dave and his white van ?.

    It's classed as post 16+ adult education, so you don't need teacher training, still requires DBS checks. The old rule was be atleast one level above the course you're teaching, so A level required a minimum of a degree. That being said when you're in that working environment you are actively encouraged to advance your education onto a degree, masters etc. Professional development as they call it, plus they'll no doubt help with funding & free time as it looks good for them aswell.

    I still can't believe he thought it would be good for climbing the greasy pole of politics. Even I have the common sense to know my place, it's certainly never going to be PM.

    Appears to be a plastic film bonded to glass, not sure if it's just on one side or laminated like a windscreen. Obviously it's a halfway between single pane and double or triple glazing. If it was me I'd just go double or triple, probably a lot cheaper in the long term as the frame also forms an integral part of the thermal insulation.
  18. GarethM
    Not really, whilst coatings may reduce solar gains or losses etc. A single pane of glass is just that, looking at the histoglas is it mono version ?.

    CSCS

    GarethM replied to teresa green's topic in General chat

    I wasn't sure about the skilled arb worker aspect of the CSCS. I had to get the green one last year for on site electrical installations, which was a pain in the arse world of online learning and an old DVLA test centre for one of several exams. They make it out like it's driving license which you can add endorsements and change colours. I would assume this the the specialist version ?. But did regret not doing the supervisor or managers version as operatives and specialist only really need the 1 day HSE course. They'll just say unless you've passed our supervisor or manager course it's a no.

    I suspect m'lord

    It's like a tier system, you can work your way upwards, green is like the lowest rung for building site work.

    If that's what I've seen, they'll just reclassify it as a high rise building fire

    Advice report: The path to a Net Zero Northern Ireland - Climate Change Committee WWW.THECCC.ORG.UK This report provides advice to Northern Ireland on its 2030 and 2040 interim targets and first three Carbon Budgets. Weirdly this popped up in my news feed on my phone, looks like Google is all knowing.

    They did actually do this regularly as it wasn't a predictable things, but monitored to detect when necessary. The fire was due to fuel getting stuck in the fuel channels, once alight the fuel burned even hotter due to the fans. They tried co2 and water to extinguish it, but finally realised that turning the fans off solved the problem and the fire went out. Even to this day the pile still has blocked and highly radioactive fuel in those channels as it's not possible to remove a burst element. Regarding the labour government, it was a USA ban of information sharing even tho those who designed the thing worked on the Manhattan project.

    So, in summary we're poodle pumped. Ah democracy I here my forebears cry.
