I use a range of mirka grit discs and whilst they're a bit more expensive they last for ages, you don't have to faff about lining up holes and the Velcro doesn't appear to an issue. It feels (to me at least) that the extraction is improved as well. Well worn discs do move about on the pad and...

Jumped in our Kia diesel yesterday and it started first time after 7 weeks. I hadn't even opened a door before that!

Is there going to be a public holiday for VJ day or is that going to be 'forgotten' as well?

I've used Johnstones water based undercoat and satin for a few years now. Can easily get an undercoat and topcoat on in a day and it doesn't stink the house out! Plus factor is the quick drying means the dog doesn't have to be excluded from the house all day. I also find it doesn't seem to...

Quite. Had the paramedics out to my wife last night. I keep hoping for an improvement but it's awfully slow in coming.

Well, - it’s either the mother of all colds or the Missus and I both have it. I’ve had virtually no coughing but she’s had one with lots of ‘product’ as she calls it. For me it came on really quickly lunchtime today. Not long after she was notified she’d been nursing a patient who’s tested...

For illustration purposes. My missus reports of two elderly males (mid 70’s and early 80’s) both with significant current health issues recovering well from the virus. One in fact showed no symptoms at all and it was only testing that revealed he actually had it (already in isolation due to...

My wife (nurse) came home last night spitting feathers due to the lack of PPE on her ward. The distribution has been/is abso-fecking-lutely useless. This is a known issue and has been for some time so this lack is inexcusable. When I get it (and it's when not if) I want to find Hancock and...

And the best news so far? - the BBC are only going to show Eastenders twice a week instead of (what appears to be) 6 times a night! If this goes on long enough they'll run out of episodes all together. That's what I call a result.

Sorry, but your missing the point entirely. With the arse falling out of many currencies the humble bog roll is about to become the major world currency. Only 100 sheet rolls are under consideration so a decimal approach can be maintained. The big argument is going to be in relation to the...

Further investigation of a damp issue (core drilling) shows wet fibre glass insulation so removal required. This is on the weather exposed elevation and I’m wondering if only that elevation requires removal or the whole property (bungalow)? Anyone have any experience of removal and indication...

That was always my understanding Sammy, however; The law says you need to be covered by a TV Licence to: watch or record programmes as they’re being shown on TV, on any channel watch or stream programmes live on an online TV service (such as ITV Hub, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now TV...

I'd be quite happy to have an EV, - for the vast majority of our trips it would be fine. A few longer ones would need better planning but not insurmountable. However affording one is a very different issue and I don't see one on the horizon for quite some time. Unless sales of second hand ICE...

Indeed. I gave a poor review because of the state of the supplied fixings, - strangely enough it never got published!

Those connected? :D If you're going to be there most days working on it then is it 'unoccupied' or does the occupation need to cover night time as well?

Whilst I agree that osmo is great (I did our last oak worktops with it) the place we’ve just moved to has wooden worktops (unknown wood) finished with plastic coating. They are bombproof, - absolutely bombproof! I can basically leave the missus to do more or less what she wants and it just...

I stumbled on this and thought it summed up some of the arguments rather well! Caution, - it is Jonathan Pie so contains bad language. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imYebujz5uY

I'm not 100% sure what you're looking for but are these any use? https://www.screwfix.com/p/stretcher-pl ... lsrc=aw.ds

What is even more tragic Bob, is that there appears to be a whole generation who seem to think that suicide is the only/best way out. That saddens me immensely.

From a (very rusty!) memory of how the spending used to be allocated there was a quite big loading for the 'pound per head affected' aspect. Therefore it comes as no major surprise to see spending most where more people live. Little comfort for those that live up north in affected areas I know...
