They must sense the op as weak and see them as an easy conversion target. First he has the time, prob unemployed or low grade shift worker, to turn up at their kids school to collect their kid, why was the mother not doing this after all it is women’s work. They invite the op to theirs he accepts invite as he has no plans, this indicates no friends to have made Friday night arrangements with. They offer food op accepts as it saves using the food bank again. They will have had the op on their radar for a while, camelbaks are inconspicuous ways to carry propaganda or bombs quickly into built up areas.

Your kids are friends, they are nice people in a new country trying to fit in (Arlington Road). Take them at face value, you probably liked them till you did your research.

Good on you, next step clean it up with a razor.

Think of your head as a solar panel for a sex machine, shave and unleash your inner power.

You are loosing your hair, it happens. MTFU it’s not as if its due to chemotherapy or any other medical intervention.

Our cat can just MTFU the next time it gets stuck in the loft, properly bricked it at that point.

Bury some wire fencing into the concrete to give it some reinforcement.
The tyre idea is a great one

Got a t5 caravelle, 2.5 130 auto (not dsg) 110,000 miles. Driven a few manuals and must say the auto is by far the nicest to drive, occasionally use it in sport mode or do manual (tiptronic) mode. Commute 12 miles per day then at weekends it gets used for bikes/boards etc returns 28/9mpg average, on a good motorway run at about 65mph it gets 35mpg ish. Most practical vehicle I’ve ever owned
Go for it, 6 months from now you will wonder how you ever drove a car with a manual box.

Got that exact set up ill try and get a pic loaded up, it is a replacement dropout that came via LBS think it was a pace part, from memory mine sits on top of the seat stay so braking force is transmitted into stay rather than tha 2 dropout bolts. I think it is a hope C2 calliper.

Halfordes carrera Luna, we have the 16 inch versions and have been very impressed with them ( girls Luna and boys blast) alloy frames so a fair bit lighter than their friends equivalent sizes components are of decent quality for intended use and price point, paint has stood up very well to 18mths of use and still look new. Been keeping eye on prices for 20inch and there is normally a bit off if ordered on line

Hopefully he will be ‘persuaded’ to tell where he left April’s body so the family can have her back.

Push the turtles head out now so by the end of the project you’ll be touching cloth

Use an old washing machine drum, cheap and shouldnt rust.

The first signing Fergie made at St Mirren

Not got any tips but I’m just about to lay a patio if that helps.

Once had the remains of 2 bags of chips thrown at me out of a car, got my own back at the lights with the water bottle full of blackcurrant that I sprayed through the open passengers window while very loudly telling them why I was doing it. That was the first and only time I’ve ran a red light.

When we went through ivf a guy went to the private room to provide a sample, on his return his waiting partner innocently piped up “oh that was quick”. It was at that point the waiting room desolved into laughter.

All your Christmas/birthdays at once. Don’t know you but delighted for you and your family.

Currently in Dornoch so a couple of miles south on beach. Dry sunny but very cold in the easterly wind and has been all week. Hope you have a good day.

Wilko’s own brand multi vits are the same dosage for each vit but quarter the price. Taste is not as good but a tiny amount of lime juice works very well. You still get fancy coloured wee.

where are you based? some of the domes have demo nights/days that may help with your choice. any one board will be a compromise just like any one bike.
i recently obtained a rossignol krypto magtek from a friend who works for rossignol, first day on it was glen coe zero vis, icy, crusty, rocky and hated the board so much went home at lunchtime and went back to an old palmer and k2 fat bob. tried it again in feb in glenshee in near alpine conditions what a diffrence, take the speed and agression up a few clicks and the board is amazing, takes everything you can throw at it and the harder you ride it the better it feels which inspires confidence to keep going harder.

demo boards in diffrent conditions, borrow friends kit even this seasons hire stuff may be better than what you have already and dont forget boots, bindings and socks do make a diffrence to your enjoyment.

Does having kids in the property make any legal difference when it comes to eviction time?

Try this stuff http://www.k-seal.co.uk/ used it many times with great results.

Thanks for all opinions/advise, will update when more quotes come in.

Tomlevell, was told original flue hole will be reused and 4 bed 3 bath means larger capacity require.

It’s going in a cupboard in the utility room, current one looks like a 1.5 height tumble dryer, new one would be like a dryer

Tha main issue with the boiler is, it’s crap, of a very poor design, the plate heat exchanger gets badly blocked and trips the overheat stat. Gled hill the manufacturer went bust in 2008 and all remaining stocks of heat exchangers have been used up. Nobody will provide a new service plan for them due to the issues, there is a website dedicated to the issues. It was a new build with corners cut ie no inhibitor that we bought as a repo in 2008, when we purchased all services were either cut off or inthe case of heating/water drained off, we have replaced a couple of radiators due to leaking at seams, been told prob due to a combination of no inhibitor at commissioning and being left drained for 10 mths. This is the house we want the kids to grow up in, good area, lots of outside space, small village, so want to do the upgrades right first time and not have to worry about stuff again till they move out.
The strange thing about the old boiler is that it has electric back up, a 9kW element to provide heat and water should the gas side fail, it’s like vw selling a T5 and giving you a polo on a trailer just in case you have a breakdown, they must have known it was a rubbish product when new.

Thanks for input guys, no question I will get other quotes (this one was from a local company) looked at the quote in more detail, In the £3800 there is a powerflush (Scottish power at the annual service mentioned this as some radiators are cold at bottom) and a manga clean filter thing. Looking online the boiler is coming in at about £2000, filter £109 from screw fix and which website recommends about £400 for flush. So he is looking at £1300 for labour and sundries 😮 good work if you can get it, he’s not at that price. Quote is not broken down just final price
Thanks, singletrackworld is a font of knowledge.

I see nobody has mentioned morrisons diesel, any reason?

Looking a bit sorry for its self but one day I’ll get some time to sort it out

Been doing it for 30 years in the hills so will continue to do so. To clarify, fleshy bit of banana/orange eat/fling, skin/peel take home

If you would eat it then fling it, if not it take it home.

Curtis expert with acorn mags, built July ’84. It’s hanging in my garage waiting for a bit of loving.

sorry but good thing about them only allowing 1 item in ski/board bag is that you will only have 1 item left on the tarmac when the plane takes off, worst airline ever. i would rather board for a week in a dome than fly with them.

Easton monkey bars, still got the pace/renthal flat bars from original build somewhere attached to a control tec stem.

Still riding my pace rc200, hence user name, my mate still has his orange p7 in purple with purple rims and rock shock judys painted purple.
The older we get the better we were!

Invermallie, near clunes (spean bridge). Good track not too far from road and great glen cycle way, been a few years since we were there but it was a good bothy then. Great waterfalls/pool on route from road/cycle way.

Agree with porth beach, good clean toilets, beach right across road and a pub between the camp site and beach. 24hr security on site.

Just repaired a miss fueled 11plate passat diesel. Complete fuel system contaminated with the swarf of the disintegrated high pressure pump, final bill was in region of £4500. Compare this to my old 2000 passat and my old pug106 both diesel ran both on the waste fuel drained from miss fueled tanks, passat wad ran 3:1 ratio 3 being good diesel but the pug was 2:1 2 being cooking oil smelt like a bbq but at equivalent to about 70/80 pence per litre who cared, it ran smoother and cleaner with better economy

Did the same with a 1910 flat in paisley, nowhere had matching boards (thickness, can’t remember exact sizes 12years ago). Cut all boards into 30cm lengths then split with axe only to find out they smoked like hell when in the chiminea, great for midge but not much else.

Aviemore area, good riding and lots of kiddie friendly stuff (landmark center, highland wildlife, cairngorm mountain, coylumbridge soft play/pool, loch morlich etc). Highrange chalets at south end of town have been good the times we’ve been, Italian buffet restaurant at bottom of road. East side of country tends to have less midge.

What have the selling retailer said about the fault that has developed and about the non VW screen? Best speak to them first before trading standards etc as you have not given them the chance to rectify the issue yet.
