  1. Good grief, it's the end of civilisation as we know it...
  2. Employed several different crews to do minor repairs and decorating etc and to be honest the quality of workmanship was not great, one even tried to charge an extra £45 when I asked for a receipt. The last crew were eager and at least showed up on time but they used one tin of the specified paint so they could leave it where I would see it and B&Q cheap paint for the bulk of the work.
  3. All you need now is an environment destroying log burner!
  4. Me too at my first house in Awsworth, same location as well, right outside the back door
  5. The advantage with acrylics BK is the range of additives available. You can slow the drying time, thin it to water paint consistency, work it like oil paint and even add texture. For some paint styles you only need a palette knife. Give them a go I think you'll like the result.
  6. Could be coming home with some nice tattoos though..
  7. I would check on the Mexican embassy website Col. It is illegal to bring into Mexico some over-the-counter medicines commonly used in the United States, including inhalers and some allergy and sinus medications. Specifically, products that contain stimulants (medicines that contain pseudoephedrine, such as Actifed, Sudafed, and Vicks inhalers) or codeine are prohibited. https://mx.usembassy.gov/information-regarding-bringing-medications-into-mexico/
  8. Herself read an article saying the same thing and very kindly offered to carry my wallet for me
  9. Have they proved or just is it just a hypothesis? I've heard of Casimie effect and negative pressure but mass?
  10. Ooo you really do like living on the edge Fly....
  11. Which moggie told you that then?
  12. Your'e between a rock and a hard place as they say Lizzie and very wise not get in too deep, it could end very badly.
  13. I always understood it to be the same stuff except ones a powder. I may be wrong, it's over half a century since i last saw any...
  14. I wish I could advise you carni I really do, the only thing I'm sure of is if hurts there is something amiss. My shoulders are 'uncomfortable; if I lift them with my arms bent - so I don't do it. Likewise with my knees, they are really painful so I avoid bending them unnecessarily. I would never argue against a qualified doctors advice but...
  15. A short video from one of my favourite sites. Do plants feel things? This guy says that not only do they feel but one of them can count!
  16. What a load of tosh. If it hurts, STOP DOING IT! At our time of life we are never going to jump over tall buildings or run marathons. Your body will tell you when enough is enough.. It's OK for physios to warble on but they are all much younger and have no idea how painful arthritis can be. Some discomfort, fine, but actual pain no.
  17. The Albion looks OK but they were horrible to drive. The wrecker looks like a Diamond T usually ex military. The only reason I can think of for cooling concrete is to slow the cure time.
  18. I think you mean Sherbet Kali Maz. Although it is a propriety brand name we called all sherbet 'Kali' much like ballpoint pens were called Biros.
  19. Err would you like to adopt me.. I'm house trained, fairly clean, small but beautifully marked. Take almost no room at all 'onest..
  20. I think nanny says you have to have less sugar...
  21. Looking around on the internet it seems almost anywhere is cheaper for implants than here. My quote is for £18000. Emailed my xray and Hungary - £6800. Spain - £8000 approx. Poland - £7000 approx. A huge saving but I'm told (by my dentist) they use an 'immediate' procedure. This means it's all done and dusted in one go, two at most. Fine if it works but has a high failure rate and if it fails then trying again is virtually impossible.... decisions decisions...
  22. I've not chastised anyone. I simply responded to posts that held up appalling behaviour as something clever and we should admire and applaud. I'm entitled to my opinion just as you are and in my world you are taken to task if you overstep the mark. Is pointing that out chastising someone? As for it being tongue in cheek even Ian himself has never claimed it to be so and I failed O level mind reading so I call it as I see it. To paraphrase a maxim ' bad behaviour will flourish if it goes unchallenged' I think your loyalty to your mate is commendable. misplaced, but commendable.
  23. Looked at the box with a glass, it looks to be an early phone box
