    i do understand that moose at no point did i suggest our air force was carpet bombing the entirety of Syria especially not with b52 bombers, chewkw is just cross with me as i told him not to think like a zombie maggot

    as you say we have sold weapons to groups who have become Daesh, but we have sold alot more to russia who have armed assad with them. i wrote a post referring to this yesterday as it seemed cruel to me to arm both sides of a conflict where the majority of casualties are civilian

    if as many suggest, this conflict was caused, or at least significantly exasperated by a climate change event then one of the reasons we need to act and act quickly is that this is likely to be a first wave of mass migration as the world around us changes

    ah good, your out of my catchment, i guess i can give you free advice without shooting myself in the foot then 😉 i do have a general builder mate in Mach who is good if you are looking for anyone. he is used to working with lime etc

    any cement on the outside of the building needs to come off and be replaced with lime, this should alleviate your damp concerns. then your only option is to insulate inside as grade II means you cannot change the outer appearance. where abouts in Wales are you? Im in Swansea and work in restoration so feel free to email me if you need help.

    Did I/we force the parents to climb on the boat to risk the children’s lives?

    yes. we did both by bombing syria and also by arming the conflict. we enjoy this affluent society that is funded in part through the arms trade. so stop thinking like a zombie maggot

    Amazing that people have swallowed this utter nonsense. We all sit here posting about our expensive mountain bikes probably on iPads and iPhones that none of us really need and claim that we ‘can’t afford’ basic human decency. Hmm….

    we lack the will not the money

    as others have mentioned in this thread i have the ability to house at least some of those in need.
    i like many in this country lead a decadent life – i rent a 3 bed house that is empty other than me!
    ffs that is embarrassing while looking at these pictures.

    there is an asylum office down the road from me, (there is one in most cities i guess) im going to ring them tomorrow to see if i can help. im sure there will be a load of red tape hassle but there are children crossing the med on leaky boats and i can’t watch that unfolding without trying to help

    imagine the horror they are fleeing that makes them load their children into those boats 😥

    “I’m a single mother with a 6-year-old son… We can take a child in need. I’m a teacher and would teach the child to speak, read and write Icelandic and adjust to Icelandic society. We have clothes, a bed, toys and everything a child needs. I would of course pay for the airplane ticket,” wrote Hekla Stefansdottir in a post.

    -that made me feel like a coward for not doing more

    i cant begin to imagine what it must be like getting on one of those boats, trying to settle and reassure your children, knowing how dangerous and uncertain the journey is going to be but knowing also that to stay is more dangerous and hopeless for them 😥

    Without wanting to sound mean, how will this be of any benefit? I know its well intentioned but do these detainees and refugees need bikes?
    It’s free transport, or toys for the kids, as well as a point of contact with the community. One here in Glasgow operates in conjunction with a drop-in centre.

    they have nothing and if the rest of you are like me then your house is full of crap you dont need and/or want. bike parts are just an example. if i was setting up a new life in a strange country with nothing i would really appreciate a bike

    i once stirred in the night with a tickly cough and realising it wasn’t going away sat up and went for one big cough. coughed up a palm sized (i have small hands) live house spider. my girlfriend sleeping next to me stirred and asked in a sleepy, sexy, voice- “what’s going on?”….she was petrified of spiders and would’ve gone ape shit…. “nothing lovely, sorry” was my reply as i let it go over the side of the bed and settled back in to stare at the ceiling for the rest of the night like this 😯

    nothing like ropers beauties, but it did freak me out a bit

    there was a series based around this called ‘naked and afraid’ two survivalists get dropped off on a desert island or some such place with one item each, and have to survive for 3 weeks. oh yeah and they are strangers and both naked.

    go mess around with stuff in their house. swap the knives and forks around in the cutlery draw, swap a few wall hung pics around, change the setting on their tv to german, stuff like that. just stay out of their bedroom or they will think you’re weird

    i let the love of my life go for the very reason the OP talks about, she didnt want kids ‘right now’ but she wanted to in the future and was aware of the ticking clock (we were both 30ish at the time) i would have done anything for her and that included sacrificing my own happiness for hers.

    i told her that adoption was an option but its different for women, there is that biological hunger

    didnt see her for a few years but we are good friends again now. she now doesnt want kids any more but the breakup was very hard on both of us so the magic we had is too badly tainted for us to get back together.

    i would say that unless you have given serious consideration to having a vasectomy then you know that you at least possibly want kids. tell her that, tell her its a maybe. who knows what the future holds, maybe you will begin to really want kids in a few years, maybe she will change her mind, maybe you two wont be able to have kids. maybe you will look back at this thread with a nipper on your knee and laugh at how little you knew 10 yrs ago. (im constantly amazed at how i was 10 yrs ago, i will be agian 10 yrs from now)

    if she is yearning for children with you then you are making her feel happy and safe and comfortable. if you are deliberating so much over the issue then you will make a good father as you obviously care. not everyone does.

    my dog a a whole salt lick once.

    we are talking a block of salt and minerals the size of a house brick designed to last a horse a month. ate the lot

    the out of hrs vet was laughing his head off over the phone “let me guess? a labrador?” was his first question

    lost her last monday at the grand age of 15. she could have all the salt licks she liked for one more cwtch 😥

    slates are bad enough as is, but when food comes on them after a week of re-slating a massive barn it really takes the biscuit.
    would’ve complained but it was a first date and i like to keep the true extent of my obnoxiousness hidden until the third or fourth

    well i had a great time there, but then i was down the front where there was much more room, dancing like a loon and grinning at all the other, lovely people dancing their legs off. i thought the crowd etiquette was superb. it was bloody hot though

    except for one really grumpy bloke, stood on the stairs complaining that people wanted to walk past….was that you?

    yeah fill with bonding save a few quid like most things plastering is all about prep work
    better to be a little recessed then proud (page 192)
    pik n mix – pva is for between old work and new not between skim and paint, i cant imagine why anyone would pva over fresh skimming. if the paint wont stick it can be because the plasterer has closed it down too much (polished it)

    make sure you spend every second you can with him. take time off work, max out a credit card to do so if need be.

    i lost my nan 3 weeks ago, we were very close- she raised me while mum worked 2 jobs to keep a roof over our heads
    i sat with her holding her hand and reading to her for the last weeks of her life and was there when she died, holding her and telling her how much we all loved her.

    it was immensely hard but now i have nothing but gratitude for every silly little second of it all

    someone told me that if you put chilli on the birdseed, the birds cant taste it but rodents will be put off. might deter them hanging around and multiplying. sooner or later it will realise the house is full of food so i would kill it but i dont do it gladly

    pallets for base, pallets for back, pallet division every 2nd pallet. pallets for roof. basically 1 pallet deep, 2 pallets wide. corrugate on top for roof (or whatever is cheap, waterproof, and to hand) dries oak or beach in 12 months. ive gone through 12m3 this year, i havent got time to **** about making it pretty. cost – free, just like the wood that heated my 3 bed house. oh and smashed up pallets for kindling. building sites are happy to give pallets away
    sorry no pics, its getting kinda empty now

    failure to communicate? is the mainstream press not pushing the idea that people should integrate and embrace ‘britishness’? surely a peaceful non effective protest is british to the core. where they politely mumbling “down with this sort of thing”?
