  1. Surely you could find one with Tony, two adverts for leave?.
  2. If you keep posting such FBI most wanted style pictures, it's customary to atleast have a viewers discretion is advised 🙂
  3. 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.
  4. Looks like the child has stolen daddies iPad again or his Vtech is malfunctioning.
  5. Kimosabi, are you adding anything or just reposting?
  6. To use your analogy, it might be nice to yearn for that severed foot. But that foot is not only decomposed it's gangrenous, reattaching it would do nothing but kill the patient. Reading yesterday officials want to postpone eu laws bonfire until 2026, that's not exact Brexit done is it. And if memory serves they refused to pretty much negotiate anything until we actually left.
  7. Maybe 2 at a push, probably a couple of hours on the chainsaw and half a day of leisurely splitting. Definitely electric all the way, maybe a saw horse to make things quick and simple. Drying will be the main problem domestically tho. 14kw stove on a bungalow is somewhat overkill unless your hiding a sauna or a swimming pool out the back!.
  8. Erm, literally wtf
  9. Hopefully that'll be the wake up call Londoners need to kick the spoilt ruiner of London out of office.
  10. Looks like I'm going definitely going down the rabbit hole. It was partly the sawdust insulation of the cross section, as the general consensus was wool and wood fibres such as shavings were terrible R value.
  11. Looks like I'm going down a internet rabbit hole later, I understand it's low grade timber formed into panels and highly insulated like a wood version of a cavity wall but in Lego block sections. So what's the difference other than the wood to say a well constructed breeze block and blown cavity ?.
  12. I'll have a read later. I only talk from experience post college, working in schools. The old Victorian & 70s schools were worn out but perfectly functional, all the brand new 2000s steel frame ones were too hot or too cold and either falling apart or leaking like a sieve. Think the construction industry for around 15 years had this addiction to steel frame buildings, but forgot all materials move differently.
  13. Which school was that ?, I've known about the failures at DG one for years tho.
  14. So if they made an exceptionally airtight building, what's the problem with the locals fitting it out ?. Or was this the collapsing brick wall debacle?. At the very least on a multi million pound project like schools across Scotland, sell them the design, expertise maybe even pay for an architect office for a year or two. The 1970s saw a standardised design across local authorities buildings, they were simple flat roof monstrosities that worked.
  15. No, that's just the council pay off for him doing it on a cycle lane.
  16. Always the bridesmaid and never the bride huh?
  17. England, it isn't on its knees.
  18. That and the incessant were on our knees bs. Even if you wrote a blank cheque it still wouldn't be enough.
  19. Well 700k for diversity managers
  20. It's up there with all those ridiculous adverts trying to sell plug in heaters that defy the laws of thermodynamics. This heater will save you 70% because it's sooo efficient. Erm electric heaters are 100% efficient, but it's probably actually better to just go back to incandescent lights and atleast for the same 700w you don't have to sit in the dark
  21. It's a bit like hitch hikers guide and the plans being on display, we just make everything so long, difficult and protracted you might change your mind. We didn't like you but we really enjoyed spending your money on gifts and freebies.
  22. From yesterdays discussion, we are where we are. I like the phrase "Piss with the cock you've got". We can all argue about the utter ineptitude of all side in regards to certain aspects who choose to not respect we are an island with certain additional rights such as fishing and borders etc. Eventually they'll pull they're heads out of the gravy trough to realise they need to cooperate or risk loosing more countries to a failed ideology of never accepting the are also responsible and to blame.
  23. Kimosabi, how about instead of just assuming all those "benefits" are free remember those were all paid for in some way shape or form. Just because it's all you've known doesn't make the EU some idealistic land of milk and honey. I don't work abroad, always have that option in Sweden if I wanted. I do import, bit of extra paperwork added £50 to the cost.
  24. If you had actually bothered to read any of his posts, he wanted to go to in need old people and farmers with the wood piled up and not local arb guys. If he wanted to use a local guys yard to split timber, he could pickup a phone book and strike up a conversation and make a deal. That was not what he was offering was it, he wasn't a youngster wanting the experience either. Whilst I may not win any awards for English literature, I can atleast read and read between the lines.
  25. That's a pretty good summary. The whole in or out of the EU argument is mostly window dressing in the greater scheme of things. In or out, pre EU, during EU, post EU. Nothing is free, we still pay something somewhere be it tariffs, exchange rates etc. There always has been paperwork and always will, even when we were in it wasn't paperwork free. Is the real problem, other than we voted out. That you can't move as freely as you once were ?.
