Come on now, at least chumpton’s contribution to this thread is different to his usual comment of

‘There are some idiots on this thread’

or a slight variation thereof, followed up with nothing else.

In answer to my own question, they burn rather hot indeed once going properly.

They’re these ones Bord na Mona and were £5 for 20 blocks. Think they’ll do the job in (first world) emergencies!

Are the blocks of peat/cannabis resin (could be either) that the shops sell ok, or is that shite like their wood?

johndoh, I’m in the north of Scotland, they might not want to come this far!

A massage thread. I predict that there won’t be a happy ending.

You shouldn’t have the bottom vent open for wood.

I know, wasn’t with the good stuff, but the newer stuff would just go out unless every vent was wide open!

Mine was also from Amazon headfirst

Obv nets from shops is eye-bleedingly expensive way of buying wood.

Wasn’t a long term plan, but new toy, you know how it is!

Storing with insufficient airflow promotes rot and fungal growth.

it’ll be half a shed by the time I’ve finished with my jigsaw, nice and breezy

Bought a Stihl moisture meter online, not here yet. Will be sourcing my own for free but as you say will have to buy for this winter. My wood store is going to be an old wooden shed with slits cut into it all over for the wind to get through – too rainy+windy here for an open log store I think.

It may well be irrational, I make no comment in that regard. My point was, and remains, that sectioning would be an absurdly disproportionate and unjustifiable response.

You think its rational to believe in creationsims then and that the evidence supports this

EDIT – That’s not what I said at all. Don’t put words in my mouth junkyard, it’s a very weak and somewhat desperate style of arguing.. Perhaps that is unfair of me, if what you typed is a question as opposed to a statement.

I don’t say that creationism is rational.

I say that sectioning people who believe it to be true is retarded. Just like sectioning my wife who is scared of monsters would be retarded. To section people under the Mental Health Act because they believe in creation would be stupid – stupid because it would be wholly unnecessary and wholly disproportionate. I drew the comparison with the imprisonment of homosexuals to illustrate the degree of stupidity that I consider such a course of action would be.

As illustrated by the quotation of the question contained within the OP, what I wrote was my answer to the question
‘Why aren’t people with such beliefs sectioned under the mental health act?‘ The answer, because to do so would be stupid, that’s why.

why aren’t people with such beliefs sectioned under the mental health act?

Because sectioning people who have a different view of life to you is about as retarded as imprisoning people who have a different sexual orientation to you.

Cheers everyone. Whilst we’re quite confident in keeping a check on anything inappropriate, the kids probably aren’t savvy enough to know when not to open emails and so on. Last time we tried having a separate login for the kids but with shared access to iTunes and iPhoto it really cocked the whole thing up, so we reverted to just one. Maybe I’ll just get some software.

I see there is a smile app for android, doesn’t seem to be one for ipad

Ok thanks

Mrs is a practice nurse, so I would hope she might know the signs if it was something more serious

Thanks. Rotor stern we tried that very thing for a fortnight but it was 2 or 3 times through the night so got a bit silly!

Not going to be today, might be Monday, but they (JL) can’t be sure.

Still, £30 refunded so far.

Surely someone in London can give him a job?

That’s a bit rich… 🙂

But surely inciting someone to defend themselves based on the incorrect evidence you claim to be prosecuting them on and then whipping out different evidence in court isn’t exactly fair…?

It’s not going to have been a deliberate error with the aim of inciting someone to defend themselves. They are perfectly entitled to summons him straight to court to defend himself, so there is no need to incite people to defend themselves if that was what they wanted to do, is there?

An FPN is an offer, not a right. They’re simply giving him the option of a reduced penalty if chooses not to take up the courts time and money.

Possibly not, but what the court will consider is whether the error renders the NIP incorrect, that is to say is it enough of an error so as to prevent the OP appreciating the time, date, location and nature of the alleged offence, which is the purpose of the NIP and particularly the 14 day rule.

If the OP could persuade the court that when he checked that grid reference on his map, he was completely in the dark as to where he had committed the alleged offence, then he may succeed on the basis that the NIP wasn’t compliant. Given that he does seem to know where it was and this appears to be a simple typo that has given a location to the side of the main road where he actually (allegedly) did it, he might struggle to do that.

If the error was along the lines of ‘on the A69’ not ‘on the A66’ then that is a completely different location. A strategy in those circumstances would be to wait until the 14 days had passed, then inform the police that you can’t name the driver because you weren’t on the A69 at that time/day, you were on the A66. They can send you a new corrected NIP but of course that won’t comply with the 14 day rule.

There is no black and white, but in my opinion, and that’s all it is, the case in point is too trivial an error to make this NIP incorrect. In the same way as an NIP addressed to ben2709 not bren2709 would be ok, whereas an NIP to gatling9536 instead of bren2709 wouldn’t.

All this of course assumes what he’s got is an NIP.

both parties are expected to produce evidence that is factually accurate

Which, if it goes to court, is exactly what they’ll do.

I nominate footflaps original Brickie as projects manager!

All aboard

Is the grid reference error contained within a Fixed Penalty Offer or has the matter already gone to court and this error is contained within the prosecution evidence?

If it’s in a Fixed Penalty Offer then it makes f all difference. That’s not a presentation of the evidence, a typo in there will not undermine any future prosecution if he declines their offer – which is an offer to dispose of the matter with a FPN rather than prosecute him.

It’s just the same as if they sent me one and put Kenny Senor not Kenny Senior – that’s not a technicality that fatally undermines the prosecution.

If the OP had a FP offer and turns it down, he’ll get summonsed to court, where evidence will be led by the prosecution that camera van such-and-such was parked in layby such-and-such at 5 o’clock on whatever day, when bren2709 drove past at 79mph where the limit is 60mph. And here’s a video of him doing it.

You will not avoid a conviction because someone has mistyped or misread a grid reference in an item of preliminary correspondence. I know this from first hand experience 🙁

If he wants to increase his popularity he should reinvent himself in the manner that Jennifer Lopez did.

Rebrand himself with an abbreviated version of his name? 🙂

More tea vicar?

No thanks, it makes me fart.

A crescent w k is a bit trickier with the internet

Looks nice. Can I have a link to your ebay page please.

Looks like the PWA doesn’t apply to Scotland.

‘The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 only applies to England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland rely on common law rather than legislation to settle party wall disputes. Neighbouring owners can negotiate to allow work to proceed – and access can be forced through the courts if necessary.’ from a DIY website.

…..Ok, then get her a pert time job doing something to generate income…..

She’s only 15 you dirty sod.

Suppose when they pass away their daughter (who seems nice enough) sells the house, which is the running joke, could their be any issues with the people who buy it, or do they just accept it as it is when they buy?

I think it’ll be fine, as I say I just wondered. It never occurred to me to look at party wall stuff.

Santa wont be able to deliever

We’re at the in laws for Christmas 🙂

Nothing in writing at all.

Don’t get me wrong, he’s not an arse, just gets in a bit of a flap about things. We’ve all got on fine in the 5 years we’ve lived here, they have a key for our house and so on…

I can’t see there being an issue, hopefully, but just wondered what the position was? Morally, if not legally, I think the fact that I’ve shelled out the whole cost to have the seriously damaged and unstable chimney fixed must help. The builder has a lot of pictures of it before he took it down.
