  1. Is that like Gwyneth Paltrow's candle, for lack of a better word, the smell of the her inside ?. Bit unsure if I'd want a sniff of an old French lady
  2. Ah but like iso 9001, he's consistently cr*p and a long history of being utterly useless. And will without much question, be elected again.
  3. When you get paid per tree they'll plant them anywhere, I did read an article that was atleast a little pragmatic and suggested they should have started around existing fringes of forest which would guarantee better success. I'm not a eco type, but they do need to be a bit more selective in the schemes. The Aral sea would be my first choice, literally an inland ocean has disappeared if solved would probably reduce the touted rising sea level and turn a desert back to farmland.
  4. Shurrup you for calling out my choice of soap, give it a try and the Mrs might appreciate it ;). Unlike most soap and shower gel it doesn't leave any residue, so no need for big brushes and scouring pads. I'm surprised they're not moaning about the cost of shaving, the fascination with expensive razors at what £3 a cartridge. I DE shave for less than 6p a week, I'm still working through £10 worth of blade I bought a decade ago and have atleast another 15 years before I need more.
  5. Maybe it's those highbrow places you shop, but all the usual supermarkets have plenty at 2 bars for 85p. Not sure whatever happened to the old unbranded soaps that even the rats wouldn't eat, maybe b&m ?. As even then a bar of dove last about 4 months, say 3 bars a year at 47p each. Oh the poverty!.
  6. Is this where we'll have a 1980s style homebrew resurgence but for making your own soap ?. These £500 ingredients to make 10p worth of hipster soap.
  7. From what I've seen about Canadian media, they're all very reliant on government funding to survive so tow whatever guff they get told. Slowly slowly and all that
  8. No need to get technical in your calculations and over think things. Square off the dimensions and measure as if it were a fish tank and half the result. I would sarcastically suggest filling it with water but that may take a while :).
  9. But was he wearing clean underwear incase of an accident?
  10. Isn't that just making a capacitor but using carbon, I would be pretty impressed if they could switch the material from trees byproduct to recycled tyres. It's effectively a coaking process.
  11. No doubt Scotland will be jumping in with a free soap on a rope as the border for everyone along with the already free period products ?. Whilst I get people can be in poverty, a simple solution other than not having kids and cancelling sky tv is to just have the machines free in schools.
  12. I did see the apology pop up on a few news outlets, in typical journalistic fashion they glossed over her recent election so any apologies would be for the previous politician. Justin "Castro" won't be happy.
  13. With the price of steel and sleepers, it'll probably be easier just to pour concrete pads and bolt them down and maybe use concrete panels ?. What do you mean underwater, as in water table ?. Plus how much is going to be above ground as that's more the deciding factor.
  14. It'll never happen, the first two were both the first and the very last used in anger. To keep saying he'll nuke someone is just media hype. It will never ever happen, MAD was and is a glorified mine is bigger than yours game to keep people spending money on weapons whilst at the same time keeping they're electorate quiet.
  15. Isn't she the one that's just been elected tho.
  16. 1000s if memory serves, I do have the book somewhere on my bookshelf.
  17. That's why I asked if it's alpha or beta, alpha is pretty much stopped by a sheet of paper or the plastic wrapper. Everything is radioactive to a greater or less extent. Providing your not licking radium clock dials or doing a radioactive boyscout, it's all relative.
  18. I should also ask if that's alpha or beta radiation. Coal ash is actually radioactive, but as with all things in life, common sense and you'll be fine. I have been into a nuclear power stations in the past, same place 1st time just in standard overalls and the 2nd full on suit and respirator. Only difference was airborne dust.
  19. Plenty of grease, worked hard it'll drink it like it's going out of fashion. Same with UJ joints, drive belts, the spec doesn't mention if it's got shear bolts. But if it has buy a bucket load and never be tempted to use stronger bolts.
  20. One has to wonder what miracle they're expecting from something that's a waste products. Whilst I've heard no2's being lab purified for solving digestive problems. Maybe even weirdos draw the line at picking loo paper out of the next meal, or is that just added roughage?
  21. Depends on how much discount 😉. As the saying goes we're all whores, we just argue about the price.
  22. Transport is probably even cheaper due the it being at the end of its trip from China. It's one of the reasons we in the UK started building brick houses using Flemish bricks as they couldn't sail empty ships back to the UK.
  23. Radioactivity isn't altered by burning, what it does do is make it airborne, which is more dangerous. But agree, buy local. Everything is radioactive, even lead was highly radioactive a billions ago. You get quite a high dose if you fly anywhere too.
  24. Nicola has let that moustache grow a bit!.
  25. Maybe Boris has decided he'll put his name down for London mayor again instead of being PM ?.
