Vistas I am never likely to see in real life... great pics..

Lizzie awake, up and about at 7:30 now I know the world has finally gone mad..

I'm sure they are trained at their mothers knee Trogg. The look, the pursed lips etc all learned from an early age. " Now see here young lady that's really annoyed your father... another good way..."

Is it any wonder? There he is riding along thankful you haven't hurt him and the minute he tries to see where you're going you go all Queen of Hearts on it..

Which means it's difficult to fill a petrol car with diesel but easy putting petrol into a diesel

I have to admit I've done this not once but twice, put petrol in a diesel van through not paying attention.

This is a public announcement: Toilet blocks do NOT work well in washing machines. That is all.

Being a walking zombie is no excuse for unsafe working practices. Accidents happen that's true but it has nothing to do with ring mains being inherently unsafe. I have spent 30 years designing and fault finding on everything from 132kV down 110v and I resent the implication that I have put hundreds if not thousands of lives at risk by using a ring circuit. I am aware of the mines and quarries act. I spent 19 hours straight underground at East Leake looking for an 11kV fault. It took that long because the fault was a rock fall in an abandoned and undocumented section of the m

As a degree qualified Engineer Ayeup I have to say that your permit to work system was worse than useless or the engineer issuing it wasn't worth a damn. It makes me cross when people do stupid things and then claim they are not to blame. Of course a ring circuit powers many devices, that's what it's for! The problems come about when idiots call themselves electricians and can't be trusted to put batteries in a torch, I hope you are not one of them. Any electrician unable to correctly identify a circuit has no business calling himself an electrician. You should know with

...and there's the problem for me right there. I can't abide spicy food, as an example many Cornish pasties are too spicy for me. I had to look up what Tahini is, it doesn't sound all that appetising to be honest...

I have heard of it but honestly would not recognise it and there is not a chance I would ever try to make such stuff..

Now you're just trying to make Col jealous with all those state of the art the Hi Fi appliances... Love the extension into extension Compo

Sorry I don't speak culinary, I have no idea what all that means...

Col that sounds OK. Remember though if you have to run the circuit back to the board it becomes liable to a part P notification and test.

Perhaps Ayeup you could ask these experts just what it is about a ring main that is so 'highly dangerous', I'd be very interested to know.

Col unless that is a typo I'd suggest you get someone in to do it for you. There have not been 15A circuits for many years and breaking into a 'feed' needs careful consideration. Questions: 'Feed' cable size Is the feed a ring circuit Do you need a fused spur unit What size cables are you installing Fuses or breakers - what size There are other things to consideration as well Electrical faults are a major cause of fires - please be careful.

Reminder to self, book holiday in Italy. Skeggy ...

Boxes not box. I build all my computers from components... do you know where the 'any' key is, I must have a faulty keyboard 'cos I can't find it.

nonna you don't need to click quote and them mess around deleting sections you don't want. All I do is right click and highlight the bit I want to quote, release the button and above the text 'search/copy' appears and below it a box with 'Quote selection'. I did a screen shot but the forum will not allow pictures from my hard drive... I put it on imgur but I'm too stupid to get it to appear here, it really is a frustrating faff around posting pics to the forum without selling your soul to the devil.

... and I moan about an occasional moth in the kitchen...

Finding baby birds - from the RSPB site: Seeing baby birds on their own is perfectly normal, so there's no need to be worried. These fledglings are doing exactly what nature intended and left the nest deliberately a short while before they are able to fly. However tempting, interfering with a young bird like this will do more harm than good. Fledglings are extremely unlikely to be abandoned by their parents. Just because you cannot see the adult birds does not mean that they are not there. The parents are probably just away collecting food - or are hidden from view nearby keep

Chernobyl is always quoted as proof of how dangerous nuclear power is. It was not due to any danger inherent in nuclear generation, it was the result of human error and poor maintenance. Many more deaths have occurred in the mining industry.

Naugust?

Really good news nonna................. BUT it does NOT mean you don't have to take things easy!............. Chill out, you know it makes sense..

Perhaps if you researched the actual risks involved with a nuclear power plant you would be surprised to learn just how small they. It's a fact, for an instance, that more radioactivity is emitted from Ratcliffes chimney than any leakage from a nuclear plant.
