  1. I'm not a plumber either but patchy heat from a radiator would make me think the radiator had problems rather than the heat source. If I remember correctly, hot at the top but cold at bottom is a sludge build up, cold at the top but hot at the bottom is trapped air, and a uniform too cold or hot across the radiator indicates it isn't balanced right.
  2. We see it certain times walking on the moor, never sure what it was but kind of reminds me of frogspawn
  3. Amateur, I could've botched that sober!
  4. And you Les, all the best. Morning all.
  5. Wonder how much calorific value is within the "happy to help" (oh, they're anything but!) brigade at asda? It'd give them a higher purpose than pressing reset on a self service checkout that reliably fails to recognise the weight of their very own bag for life, and for £10 something an hour it may be financially viable depending on the individual's combustion time.
  6. There is info there when I tried it, had to tap search again after it showed the postcode on the map like in your screenshot, the options all came up then. Try this link. https://arbtalk.co.uk/recycling/?nearby=20&lat=51.609035&lon=0.5382372&category=0&country=0&state=0&specialization=
  7. Morning, all the best folks.
  8. Morning all. Frosty calm morning here for a change. Helping my mate today with an Ash at his paddock that's come down in the wind. There were 3 to be felled with dieback so that's one that doesn't need felled now... Have a good one.
  9. Morning all. Still off here so not much happening, need to drop off kit for loler this morning, might treat myself to a fry up after at the cafe. Have a good one folks.
  10. Morning. Well the weather outside is frightful, and the bed is so delightful, so as there's no place to go, let it blow, let it blow, let it blow! Have a good day folks.
  11. He's not signed in for a while
  12. Morning all. Happy Christmas, have a good day.
  13. Enjoyed that, good effort at the end.
  14. Hope it's tolerable Bob!
  15. Morning all. Early start today, need to finish cutting hedges by lunchtime as we're off for our Christmas lunch this afternoon. Roast beef etc for me followed by an interesting sounding choc orange sundae. Then that's it, finished for the festivities. Have a super great day folks!
  16. My mate has the Aldi one too. He let it freeze and the pump went, he called them to ask about buying a new part and they sent him it free under warranty. No other issue and it does everything from quad to tractors.
  17. I can't really help Whoppa, but your comment about restarting phone reminds me of a problem I had, I restarted with no difference and a phone techy friend said no, turn off and on again, it's different from restart so maybe try that...
  18. Morning all. Scotty that sounds bloody painful, hope you get done today and can put your feet up. I'm off, nothing interesting planned, see what the day brings. Have a good one folks.
  19. Be careful with that Mr oldwoodcutter. I had the same tactic, she wanted to be a dancer as a lass, will dance at any opportunity, loves it. Thought it'd make me look good being interested in it with her, then she started talking about dance classes in Edinburgh (an hour away and there's other people there ffs), when she started mentioning the future occasions where we'd have the opportunity to dance I realised I had to loose interest quickly, I'm really more of a headbanging with the lads type dancer, too self conscious for proper dancing. Be careful out there!
  20. Reminds me of that joke about the Inspector going to a farm in Ireland. Wants to know the employment conditions for everyone. Farmer says there's only 3 work here. Stockman gets paid x weekly and a house on the farm with regular paid holidays, tractorman has the same arrangement. The third guy is just a dogsbody, he works all day, 7 days a week, doesn't get paid but has a bed, a hot meal and a dram at night, occasionally he sleeps with my wife. The Inspector says that's a ridiculous arrangement, you can't treat a worker that way, I need to speak to this man immediately. Farmer says you already are!
  21. Well done Hairy, like that spirit. I'll always stop and try to help anyone too.
  22. I'll admit I'm struggling with the suggestion that Queen or Pink Floyd are overrated. I can only imagine Mark has favoured the wrong mind altering substance when listening to Floyd. The Beatles however... some of the songs are ok when covered by others but I've never rated them. And Paul McCartney, hasn't he had an entire career based entirely on being a bit friendly with Lennon once? Madness though, how they got beyond playing at the student union beats me.
  23. Not just fry ups you got in Glasgow then! Hope things improve quickly. Morning all. A nothing day planned here, oh is going away with her work for their customary over the top Christmas do, a night at a spa hotel, so just me, the dog and sofa time.
