I felt a warmness in my throat as well......I think it was vomit. When i think back about Leo's recent television speech where he said its not the governments duty to look after our aged family members. But its our duty to look after every other nationality. So is it these new irish he is talking ab...

My pet annoyance is people selling their pride and joy on marketplace, donedeal, adverts ect.........who attack you and call you a timewaster for asking questions about their car , like. "was the timing chain done" " Can you verify the mileage" .. "Is there any service histo...

So tell me more about Blink as a solution for security camears in and around the home. Thanks.

LOL! That makes very little sense. Why do you want to throw away money on vermin control when the rats leave on their own free will? You sound like one of those incompetent ministers who waste our tax money! Makes perfect sense to ensure that the same rats dont return to increase the infestation at...

We need rentokill to eliminate all these vermin jumping overboard.

Where can i get a pair of those rosy coloured glasses that he must be using. He is either using them, or smoking crack......

Hey CR, you should be fekked into that box and fast tracked to El Salvador for buying cheap lidl shite.
For a hole that depth through masonary, you want quality, not rubber masonary bits......Jeez

If you are still having trouble, then get a slogging spanner, and bate the bejesus out of it with a big sledge

Weed killer wont heat them to cherry red. Oxy acetylene to cherry red will do the job, and then maybe the spanner, but I would use the chisel.

If you are not using the hubs again then its no big deal what damage you do to the studs. Then again yankee war machinery was made to service in the field, so chances are the studs are a whack out serrated stud, and would be easily replaced with a right hand thread of an imperial size which would be...

Nut splitter. Yep it sounds painful, but thats the last resort option as you would find it tricky to replace the reverse threaded nuts. Dont be tempted to whack the ends of the nuts if there is any danger of whacking the stud. Its game over then, and alot of hardwork ahead. My goto tool in this case...

Its always been about protecting their pensions and fecking the rest of us

Not to mention over 50% of the ventilators were never in working condition anyway.

But the gravy train rolls on, and on, and on, and on..........

I was back for a service and garage chap said the tyres had been rotated down the years and that they were grand. So all set for NCT tomorrow! Best of luck. Just make sure your tyre pressures are correct, as this affects the headlamp alignment. You would be surprised by how much. And double check t...

Its nigh on impossible to get mental health services in this country, or any date when you may get it. My other who is 91 has recently been assessed as having dementia, with the cursory GP assessment, which is of no use in a proper diagnosis which we have been informed by our dementia advisor. She h...

I think its the result of civil servants ideas resulting from considering these things through the fog of a drug induced coma..............it cant be the result of rational thinking. Along with input from that green muppet, what else would we expect.

No such trade as a door maker

I have done the same my self on occasion for some out buildings and managed to get about 20 years from them. Like you i only primed and painted on occasion, and never used wood preserver against insect and moisture attack, which looking back I should have . Your pics of the end grain shows them bein...

I also just noticed that with the automatic defib units , they assess the electrical activity of the heart and only administer a shock if its needed. That sort of takes the guess work out of it. My recent heart attack 3 years ago wouldn't have needed a shock as there was no electrical activity probl...

True enough. But do many know when to consider the need for a defib unit, I doubt it. Who has the courage to make the decision that someone needs a shock to the heart to help them. Thats the thing that would worry me. If you use a defib unit on someone who does not need it, what harm can you do apar...

Just out of curiosity if you buy one of those defibrilators are you going to get a proper teaching in how to use it. More so will a person feel confident enough to actually attempt to use this on an individual who needs it. I always thought firstaid and cpr should be taught in schools to be honest.

Things that irritate me... These cycling groups that appear en masse at the weekends and fly along the roads like they own the fekking place. I dont have a problem with that. But what gets my goat is these 70+ year old farts, take up the whole fecking road by cycling 4,5,and 6 abreast. Infuriating. ...

You seem to have been busy enough over the recent months fair play. Your salvaged material that you chose appears to be european white pine. Fast growth in the summer and slower growth in the winter, hence the varying degrees of hardness whilst drilling and screwing. Where as artic white pine from S...

Had an ECG this morning, the doctor just rang and told me to go straight to hospital which I'm on my way to now . . not looking forward to joining the trolley corridor queues for the night but hey . . at least I'm not in Gaza! I have had that on more than one occasion, its only then that your blood...
