    Having said that, their American style fridges have a known problem that they seem happy to live with despite pissing customers off

    It’s not known to me! Do you plan on enlightening us?

    I use the Numatic Hepa-flo bags available on Amazon I believe. They’re resistant to tearing when being removed full of brick dust etc.
    As the vacuum is designed to use a bag, I think it best to do so. The disc filter is there as a back up to protect the motor should the bag fail. Paper ones do have a tendency to do so, particularly if you get a bit of liquid or damp waste into it.

    I have a Samsung S4. 2 years old and no issues other than those I’ve created myself.
    Good product. I got immensely sick of apples constant updates and constant glitches. Finally gave up all together on the ipad and iphone.
    Just sold the ipad and very glad to be shut of it.

    If new waste pipe is leaking. It has not been fitted properly.
    It doesnt matter if its solvent weld, push fit or compression. There is no reason it should need any kind if selant smeared anywhere, especially where it’s visible. If this is the case, the job is flawed and any resonble tradesman would be prepared to remove his faulty work and complete it properly using only the materials intended for a new installation.

    Plumbers, eh? Of all the trades they seem to be under the most stress to get jobs done in time. They don’t cost in travelling, buying bits and setup then clean down time so they are always under stress and prone to bodging.

    Incidentally. As a generalization and me being a plumber. I resent this remark.

    Footflaps is bang on.

    Does every item need a direct connection to my router or can I splice into a cable or use a splitter?

    You’re asking if you can splice into your data cable in the same way you might your telephone cable. One becomes two connections?
    Without advising you to rebuild your entire network with fancy repeaters and mini hubs, or upgrading your router etc.
    The answer is simply. NO.

    Hey, have you tried turning it on and off again?

    No, but I’ve tried turning it off and on again.

    Art is subjective and therefore all of your comments are equally valid.
    Great isn’t it? You’re all arguing over each other’s right to your own opinion.
    It’s ridiculous to tell someone that what they like is shit, or stupid because you don’t like it.
    God Bless.

    I really like Windows 8.1
    You just need to learn how to use it.

    Here’s a hint. Press the windows key then just start typing what you want to open/run/search for. The unified search is very powerful and gives settings/programs/apps/files/internet search results together.

    Perhaps in the same way you need to learn to read?

    Old git with stick and trousers tucked into socks. “This is a footpath. Note the word, Foot!”
    Me. “Oh. Thanks, but we’re ok, we travel in meters.”
    A friendly smile as we politely moved on by and everyone giving a cheery and elevated, “Thank yooou..”
    He just kinda stood there bewildered.

    Anyway, Robocop was shit. The new one I mean. I was disappointed on all counts. Rubbish story line. Poorly developed characters, mindless plot. Standard CGI.

    The Coen Brothers’ True Grit was better than the original in my opinion. I never really understood why anyone thought that John Wayne was a good actor.

    Completely different movies. I think acting was different back then. Actors tended to be more dramatic and over acting was the norm. Modern actors try to deliver dialog in a more realistic fashion. Wayne was a great actor for his time.

    Jeez, you’re a regular Dr Doolittle ain’t cha.
    Pretty much all theory and someone else’s at that. As yet, apart from yourself of course, no one has been able to actually communicate with a dog on a one to one so we don’t know what they think. There are plenty of people who have thought they understand animals and bear the scars to show how wrong they can be. I bet Steve Irwin though he was a right clever dick until he got a Stingrays tail through his left ventrical.
    Take a look at elephant and killer whales just as an example. They are supposedly trained and conditioned, docile and compliant. Then suddenly, for no apparent reason, turn on their handlers, sometimes maiming or even killing.
    I don’t know if you’ll put that down to instinct. I’d say they’ve just had enough. In my mind that equates to a decision.
    Of course. I’ve never had a chat with either, so it’s only my theory and I wouldn’t want to fight you over it. 😆

    If it’s already built, it might be difficult to fit a rad unless you’re happy with the pipe work on the surface. I’d put electric under floor heating. Very easy and not as expensive as you might think.

    I have not incidentally, but desperate times can elicit desperate responses. It’s a tragedy and focused mainly at those that are likely to loose the most.
    I liken it to victimisation personally.

    There’s some very insightfull dog psychology going on here. Interestingly, it counts for nothing because as a free thinking animal, a dog can decide to do whatever it wants, whenever it wants. As yet no one has really figured out jack shit about why animals do anything at all. Particularly ones of the homo sapien variety.
    Dogs are dangerous.
    People are dangerous = lots of danger everywhere.
    Best to just stay home.

    The host is unleavened bread. (Wheat flour and water) Too much of it and you’ll have the equivalent of a stomach full of wallpaper paste.
    Besides, unless you are there for the proper reasons, why bother?
    Indeed why bother at all with your mockery?
    It’s in bad taste.

    As far as I’m aware. Steiner schools aren’t under investigation at the moment.
    I’m asking what you believe. I asked questions. If I wanted to make sweeping statements, I would have done so in the op and the thread would then be a discussion of my views.

    What’s your evidence and /or research for those statements Junkyard?
    Or am I missing an implied inflection in the tone of your text? 🙂

    It is fascinating how the discussion has digressed. There have been very few direct responses to my questions in the op. I really wasn’t asking for opinions on religious preference or whether RI is acceptable in schools. More whether the current reporting of possible extremist teaching in specifically Islamic schools was bias, and/or whether people feel the Muslim community is trying to hide something.

    “The big blue.” Weirdly brilliant, depressing and uplifting all at the same time. Plus you get a tantalising peek at Rosanna Arquett’s lovely bits.

    My wife did this in her Saab last week. (Honest!) I pulled the sender unit out and siphoned as much as I could out unfortunately she had driven it until it stopped and I couldn’t get it going again. I dropped it off at my local repair shop.
    4 hours and £40 later was picking it up all sorted.
    As above, I recommend adding some diesel conditioner for good measure.
    Anyone need 35 litres of slightly contaminated petrol. (The car was well into the red when she put the petrol in it.)

    Give your kids the thumbs up to have/do something they want to and then later try to tell them they can’t have/do it any more. See what happens.
    Owning a gun is considered a right/privalage and no one likes to have their rights or privalages removed. Particularly if they are a well balance and lawfull individual who is respectful of those rights.

    A friend of mine had one and asked to use my jeep for a couple of weeks in trade, as the delorian didn’t have room for his skill saw and tool belt.
    It drove like a pig on castors and the novelty wore off after about 10 mins.
    Horrible!

    It very much appears there is insufficient pitch on the roof and the tile bonds are inadequate. I would remove the whole lot, ply sheet and felt. The plan you have for lead is far more complicated that you think. Poorly installed lead will fail very quickly. Particularly if the roof gets a lot of sun.
    There is a code of practice for the installation of lead sheet which is written by the manufacturers and strictly adhered to by LCA members. There’s a wealth of easily available information about building roofs and slating, it’s hard to imagine any of that’s been put to use here.
    I know this is harsh but it’s just another DIY bodge as far as I can see.
    Also the diagrams above are useless without measurements as there are minimum up stand and lap requirements you won’t be able to achieve unless you build up the top of the wall. All this is moot though, because it would be a waste of money to put lead on what you’ve got and trying to form welted joints over capping stones without lead dressing tools will will extremely difficult.

    Haha Stu. I’ll provide some cut throat razors for use in the class. She can close that when she’s walking around. Problem solved.

    It couldn’t be that your 8 year old is telling you a little fib could it?

    I had considered that but the nature of how she disclosed it and further questioning leads me to trust that she is telling the truth.

    Why would you drive 3 miles to work? Even at a decent strolling pace you could walk that in 45 minutes.

    When you say, “you could,” I think you mean, “I could.” Obviously, he doesn’t want to!
