Nothing like a chuckle. Like knowing that in one half of our village which is in Tier 3 that the pub will be closed. Like knowing that in the other half who are in Tier 2, the pub there IS open !

Funny you should say that... Lurker has started the ball rolling as well here ! Our 32" will be pensioned off and we'll look for a 50" .

Way, way back in time I was very junior and working on a BBC transmitter and working inside the guts of it standing on a ladder. I had very little clearance for my head where I was working. Unbeknownst to me, on one side the casing had, due to a fault plus poor DC isolation by me and my senior...

DRAI from Ilpa is very good. Also anything from Fila. Both companies are Italian which, to my mind, is the font of all knowledge when it comes to stone, marble etc. Mandarin Stone have a good section on their website on tile protection ...all sorts of material.

How about green gardening windbreak while you're waiting for plants and such to grow. What direction does the fence face ? If South facing then a lovely wisteria or two would look stunning.

LOL...no, you cooked your dinner while waiting for the TV to warm up :)

Thanks SC. Supplementary question, if I may. Is Roku better than Chromecast or effectively the same ? I do have a Chromecast but it's a bit of a faff to feed as the computer is elsewhere. I've also got a Google Home somewhere or other in a cardboard box. But I don't think that is the same...

Even if you get a smart TV, can you retrofit a Roki later on ?

Just be aware that there are variations between models in any brand. For example, LG...when I looked into getting a new TV, LG seemed to get good reviews...at least the ones that I read. Now with Black Friday I was tempted to get a discontinued model (BTW that's another tip...manufacturers'...

Read the reviews...if someone on here says model A from supplier X is really good, do not assume that model B is as well. Decide what tech you want to have See what's available on offer as it's Black Friday

Yeah but you've got customers who buy your material for you.

Absolutely. You've not heard of Roger's Rules of Wood Sequestering? Rule No.1 - If a piece of timber is wide enough, it won't be thick enough Rule No.2 - If a piece of timber is wide enough and thick enough then it won't be long enough Rule No.3 - If a piece of timber is wide enough, thick...

Or even a Search facility on the foru....oh, we've got one of those :rolleyes:

For £385,000 that car's a snip . I'll take two, please. One for the Missus.

Yup...a few of you have got it. The muppets who wired up the flats in the 1950's got two neutrals crossed over...ie I got one neutral wire from one of the flats and they had one of mine.

Neither. Bet your Dad will know.

Very good. but no.

I've posted this before but worth repeating. Pre-Part P refurbishing a flat in London. Old school wiring, singles inside metal conduit. Replacing the consumer unit. Out to the upriser cupboard in the common parts landing and remove the fuse feeding the flat and take it with me. Lock the...

'fess up, Mike. You don't actually make any sawdust....that floor is way too clean:)

Yup, White Christmas has been banned. And they won't play anymore Black Sabbath. Pathetic.
