NB as a landlord I can assure you I'm fully aware of my responsibilites and take them very seriously. The rules are ambigious to say the least: 3.—(1) No person shall carry out any work in relation to a gas fitting or gas storage vessel unless he is competent to do so. (2) The employer of any person carrying out such work for that employer, every other employer and self-employed person who has control to any extent of such work and every employer and self-employed person who has required such work to be carried out at any place of work under his control shall ensure that paragra

Another version is the burning of animal bones to ward off evil spirits.

It has long been a bone of contention. Legally there is nothing in law to say you cannot do a gas or electrical installation yourself - BUT and it's a big but, you to must be able to prove you are a 'competent person'. Competence under the law usually means you have the relevant training and qualifications. In reality only a lunatic would carry out such work without the necessary paperwork. I personally would not do anything with a gas installation and even as a qualified electrician (17th Ed) I only do the most minor repairs,

Ooooo you mean there are nasty mesters out there trying to steal from us, I hope the gentleman in Nigeria who is holding 3,5 million pounds for me isn't one of them, I have told all my friends and have big plans for when it arrives..

Top marks sir, I remember now you put a name to him.

'Daft I call it' I remember that phrase as a strap line from an old strip cartoon character but can't rememebr the which one.

As a youngster Margie I remember a radio play about just that. the plot revolved around one scientist who assured the visitors we could be trusted....bla blah.. much discussion about our civilisations problems. Eventually he talked them down but could not see the them on radar, only when it was too late did he realise they almost microscopic and had landed in a field, never to be found. Weird how some things stick in your mind.

Yup curvy fat headlights, 6 volts of raw power..

My brother was diabetic, thought he knew better than the doctors and caused himself all sorts of problems. Please for family and friends sake, for Bulwells sake and the sake of Wethers follow the medical advise to the letter. It can get a bit tedious but a 'normal' life is possible once it's under control. Get well soon

Keep it, change it, doesn't really bother me. I've said before I'm up at the crack of lunchtime come what may and shall continue so to do.... So there,

Margie when the green arrow appears have you tried moving your cusor to cover it, it should then display 'upvote'. silly expression really but hey it it what it is.

I know PF and don't care, all things considered it's still Max. A super hero is someone you admire and aspire to be like.... hmmm........... yup still Max.

My super hero is Max and he's just turned four years old. Sitting in the window with the cutains closed 'mama' couldn't find us anywhere and he made us invisible so we could peek and still not be seen. After dinner he ran like Lightning Mcqueen with 'blazing speed' to leap into mamas lap and froze me in place with his spidey powers to prevent me eating his ice cream. But he did let me have a tiny bit on a spoon if I promised not to be naughty.

I don't understand, if they're not reponsible for the overhead power lines.. who is?

Of course it could just be good old British reserve. 'Theres a machine out there trying to eat somebody, you can see legs waving in the air'. 'I'm going nowhere near it'..

PF, have the police run out crime? No, they have just chosen to ignore a lot of it. We're now told they will not bother to respond to burglaries but will happily give you a crime number 'for the insurance'. and voila... lots of time now to chase down them there dangerous litterbugs.

Do you think that motorist get closer to uprights because no matter how close they can still see them and thus judge their position. Recumbents i imagine (never seen one on the road whilst driving) start to disappear as they get closer and therefore more difficult to judge.

See sir, see sir, I towd yer it were im wot dunnit

HRH Anne had been nicked once. £400 fine. I wonder if she asked for time to pay?

Ah the old school cry Loppy. 'Who sir me sir no sir wernt me sir onest sir it were them others;

Oops, told I werent owd enuf... iwuz thinkin of Linden LEA not the Shcubert song

'Within a woodland flowery gladed'.... No Margie I'm not old to remember Linden Tree.. Nor the Sky Boat song and a dozen more....

My Grandma called them 'tea forcers' though the results were always less than sucessful. Look at the size of the first pic, theres a lot of tea in there for one cup, The tea was so strong that when it went cold I'm sure you use it as wood preservative

I realise that being a Muurikan your good lady has not had the training in the intricate art of tea making but half & half! by giney and good heavens above what ever next? My family were not the richest on th street DC and we always had steralised milk as well as 'ordinary' because mam could make it go further. Tip it into a big jug, add a pint of water and doubled the amount. always had it boiled on me Shredded Wheat (three in a pudding basin).
