I totally agree Phil. I had chicken pox at 40 (my three children brought it home). That -apparently, because the virus lingers on your skin afterwards - puts me in a noted "high risk bracket" according to my local surgery. But....I've been denied it until 70, in three years time. Paradoxically...

You're painting a garden??

**john_bradfast you mean? ALWAYS expensive. Monopoly money. Significantly, his items linger a long time on what NoLegs used to call "The Bay of Plenty".

Cozzer? Am't you the quare one? Eddymickatin' the non-Celts. Keep 'er lit Kid! P.S. I'm from near the north coast of 'Norn Iron' and the Missus was educated in "Nort Tipp" (Co. Tipperary)...I have to say, there were some hilarious crossed meanings early in our relationship.

50mm as well, plus 19mm tongue-and-groove chipboard flooring. Yes, it has made a whopping difference. But then, I put it up the walls and across the ceiling as well. Circulation gap in the ceiling, below the corrugated roofing.

I did exactly what you were describing, in a smaller scale, a 16'x8' garage with pronounced subsidence (40mm) in one corner and fragmentation of the slab into three 'islands'. A skilled builder friend advised sand and cement to level, mixed "tight" i.e. minimal water, and laced with P.V.A. to...

I think you mean SISO? Excrement in, excrement out.....

I'd really like to see this Doug, please. The idea that a bulky Camvac can sit on your bench intrigues me.

John Peel: "Here's more brash teenage music..". Wonder how long it took them to get off three chords?

Messers Tilson and RogerS, in absolute support of your positions, and as an empirical science teacher of 37 years experience, I contend quite a lot of the other 'froth' in this thread would have ended up on the Staff Notice Board yearly collection of exam bloopers... Horse and dihydrogen oxide...

We use a torch with on-steroids L.E.D.'s for the three colours. Bloomin' expensive. Our little heritage railway can't run to walkie-talkie's.

For Clogs and others: "psi"pronounced "sigh" is about the twentieth letter of the classical Greek alphabet. It is an easily calculable measure of the ability of a system, cell, or tissue to take in water. Ask any A level Biology student; they do it as part of osmosis. It applies in kidney...

Nope. Imperial is what it says on the tin; a hangover from British Imperial times. Metric measurements enable values from length, volume, yada yada to be more easily incorporated into formulae. My old chestnut to illustrate this is the value of Ψ vs diffusion pressure deficit. Ψ is easy, dpd...

I used an old, but good, ¾" chisel blade (after it snapped off in hardwood mortising) ground to the slanted edge as per the last entry/photo. I got around it trimming slivers off my nice expensive square (etc) by minutely back-bevelling the flat surface immediately behind the cutting edge. A...

Ta! I just bought three and they say oinly 2 left.

What did you say, John Cleese?

Ahhhh...dratted AI.

"Facknell!" ** Is this a new record for mummified threads being revived? ** Alan Coren (still sadly missed) in Punch! magazine (no, it wasn't about cage-fighting Nigel)....

Whossat then?

Yes please. P.M. ... oops..."Conversation" shortly.
