Thanks lurker, but I think the options are limited - the ground slopes downwards from the road, so no cutting into the bank and no tanking required. To maintain a level with the road I will need to build up the land or support a 'parking deck'. Part of my reticence to get a builder in is that...

We have a piece of sloping land that we would like to use to extend our parking area. I can see two ways of approaching this: Build a retaining wall and fill up with rubble. The rubble is not a problem - there is plenty. Or actually it may be a problem because it may need to be moved...

I thought it looked fishy to start with - but could not fathom it. Then it became turtley obvious. I think the misdirection was done on porpoise. The net effect was worth it though.

Works fine for me too..... This is me: https://goo.gl/maps/ikxCiFoffqz Not my house, me. In the car. Commuting to work.......

Really ingenious.... love it. Happy new year to all. Phill

I write software.... when someone reports a problem I think "good (that I know about this).... it needs to be fixed". There is a problem whether or not it is reported, but until someone reports it I might not know and so others are possibly suffering from it. So it is good that you have...

Here is something to think about..... Iceland Christmas Advert Though it got banned for being too 'political' (or should that be 'uncomfortable'?)

@Dokkodo: A nice try, and I wish you luck.... I am convinced by the scientific case for anthropogenic climate change (ACC), and have been for a decade or two. However you will face an uphill battle with certain (mainly older, mainly male) demographics when you try to sway opinions. (I have...

I had to have a torn retina welded shut last year. Not a comfortable procedure, but could have prevented me from losing my sight. I have a number of 'floaters' in my left eye. They are distracting in low light conditions, but way better than no vision.

Naaa, not embarassing. You live and learn (or you dont live long). Crab apple jelly? I used to make sloe gin. Lots of sloes (more than the recipes...) less sugar (but use raw brown from somewhere reliable, not remanufactured brown). I have given up alcohol now but still have fond memories...

Split a fruit. If it has one stone its likely a prunus (plum/cherry) of some kind. If it is fruiting now it could be Bird Cherry (prunus avens?). Another possibility is cornus maas aka Cornelian Cherry (not a prunus?). We have cornelian cherry in the garden fruiting now. The wood is very...

Ah I see your problem, you put .com on the end. Just use www.wemovesh.it - its the tld for Italy I believe.

The link does work..... the domain is pointed back to the company website. If the link did not work you would not get to the company website. Nice idea they had, but I guess a sense of humour is essential for that trade. Phill

Love it. I wish we had room for one like it.

Our wildlife pond is a quarter circle, approx 1.8m radius. It is in its second full season (built in autumn 2016). We have had toads spawn unsuccessfully (spawn sank and rotted) and newts spawn successfully (saw several efts, then they seem to have left on schedule). Plenty of other life in...

An unndelivered item card in letterbox from one company had box 'could not find address' ticked. Why is there even a box for that?

I would like to put a plug in for 'Lifesure' who insure and provide recovery for my camper van. Have renewed twice and neither time was there a vast increase. First renewal the price actually went down - because I had bought a disklock I think. This year the premium went up a a percent or two...

Hmmmm. Wack it into tight hole, use screw-in extension handles to spread hole and then...... Which tight hole and why completely eludes me. Hope it did not come from the hospital.

carp'n sharpen?
