    Keep a look out for a dust extractor on eBay are a great investment, plus you can burn the dust. Best investment I ever made for chopping up pallets and such. Think at the time I bought a used SIP one for about £80

    Seem to be a lot of people using starling as a bank for small businesses as it's free, not sure for how long as I can't understand how they earn anything. Personally I use NatWest, Sage accounts around £36 a month plus stripe for the occasional card payment which is zero annual fees but around 2-3% of the balance. YMMV, I've used sage for about 15 years tho. Played with Freeagent and zero but felt they were a bit meh, Barclays isn't too bad from what I've heard.

    Wasn't sure they bought it off the Norwegians 🙂

    It'll be cheaper than here as Sweden uses a lot of nuclear and hydro I think. Mine is something mental like 35 or 38p a kwh as I'm out of town.

    I dunno, £11 a day for a toasty home and he's probably walking around in socks and his tightly whities.

    Agree on the dust extraction, even using a band saw with that sort of exposed blade would be bloody lethal and probably leaves a wonky edge. Whilst a bit wasteful planer thicknesser is probably the safest option all round.

    Your only removing 1/2", probably best thinking about a bigger planer thicknesser, maybe a ex school surplus one running on a vfd.

    I always love the reporting, they were such good boys and father's etc. Whilst completely failing to mention why they might have been stabbed, always seems to be a lot of mistaken identity. I should say I'm from just outside of Manchester, grew up when moss side was possibly the drug and gang capital of Europe. The media barely even reported it, as it so regular.

    Whilst I don't know what your running boiler wise or your system, 25kw if it's running full power that's 5kg an hour (5kw per kg). Guessing it's running a hot water cylinder aswell unless your radiators are 1.6kw a piece. Do you have a buffer tank with a thermal mixing valve on the radiator circuit?.

    Stop using the word oxygen, it's not just oxygen but actual air flow. Yes, opening a windows provides enough air flow to get it burning but that is not a permanent solution as windows can be closed. You need to see if you can fit a room sealed kit for the fireplace, as they cannot be closed even accidentally. I suspect you don't have an installation certificate, as this would also identify the air supply location and sizing.

    A cowl will do nothing unless you can get air into the room. Opening a window is an automatic fail for any stove installation because people can close them. Not enough air = Carbon monoxide

    Britain still gives mega-rich China £51.7million in foreign aid despite promises to end the handouts | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK Figures released by the Foreign Office yesterday revealed that China (President Xi Jinping pictured)...

    As per Steven P, it's not just oxygen for the fire to burn it needs to draw sufficient air up and out of the chimney. Opening that window proves your home is too air tight and the vent for the fireplace is probably blocked or is at the very least insufficient. Is it a room sealed vent or are you just taking air from the room, either way do not use it until it's sorted.

    I just use cheap E10 from the supermarket with Stihl HP red, know plenty of guys that use E10 aswell. If your happy using Aspen, Stihl or whichever brand, that's upto you but I've not seen any problems but I also only buy 1-2 gallon max and don't leave it sitting around.

    Only 50:1, bloody cheapskate.

    The mind boggles with the utter stupidity, they know the country still has the death penalty. On the plus side most of them should be atleast sober when the police give them a damn good beating.
  17. GarethM
    Omit the no, it would prove your not getting enough fresh air to the fire. I don't care how big the room or house is, if you open a window and the fire roars. Then the fireplace isn't getting enough air to operate via the room sealed air supply vent.

    Is the beige cap to fit in with the oap's or just some weird tartan cap kinda masonic handshake?
  19. GarethM
    No, it would prove your not getting enough fresh air to the fire.

    Speed striped and sticking your tongue out works. But on a serious note smaller 12" bar the better it'll probably be.

    Can we have a little dishy rishy guy ?.
  22. GarethM
    Nah, the analogy is more being beaten up by the school bully for your dinner money. Then being beaten up again at home time because he wants sweeties, then beats up up to do his homework. No, the EU don't ask you to leave they fine you like Hungary. Unfortunately we never had the balls to say we aren't paying you're petty fines and carry on regardless.
  23. GarethM
    Surely you could find one with Tony, two adverts for leave?.

    If you keep posting such FBI most wanted style pictures, it's customary to atleast have a viewers discretion is advised 🙂

    Providing he's not ingesting them and leaving presents in the hedge row, that's fine with me. Or worse still the metal poles idea, if anyone did that to mine I would probably knock another 2ft of the hedge just to highlight my dissatisfaction.
