Some while back I posed a question on the forum. How to install a second instant electric shower in a house when the supply was not capable of providing sufficient current to allow both to run together? At the time, though some people did make some suggestions, I did not get what I regarded as a...

Are all you old time trade served electricians really such slow learners? How long did it take you to learn your craft? Imagine if you had only known how, you could have been qualified in just three months. Not only that but you could have a nice new shining van with real stock and lovely new...

b21playa Best duck now, you're lucky you have a PC in front of you and are not face to face. They are going to eat you alive Now boys be nice :lol:

I have 9 of them in the plant. Probably have someone at one of them every other month. To be fair they get a lot of use. Problem is often that some muppet has hit off one. Or hit a track. All single phase motors. However the point is, as the saying goes " As sure as the jug goes to the well some...

Thats possibly the best arguement to use with him then. I'm sure he will have some tools etc. in the shed along with the heavy machines. On the day the motor doesn't work is he going to just leave the whole place open? :)

One would want to be daft to build even a shed with only a roller door for access and egress, What is the plan if something goes wrong when he is in there with the door down, roller doors are slow to open. In my experience they can give trouble. Usually have a manual wind to cover problems with...

I stand corrected. So it was to do with a spy in the bed and not one under the bed.

Once is chance, twice a coincidence, three times a conspiracy or three times is an enemy action. I seem to associate it with America's anti communist phobia

Blocking decent cuss words reduces the scope of a language to be truly descriptive. Take for example the word boll___ocks (*******s)which I assume the filters would stop. At first a most vulgar word. But I would suggest that it is actually a word borrowed from a similar sounding gaeilge word...

One of the other threads brought up the fact that insurance companies have a better claims history when insuring women than men. The link is then made that women are probably safer drivers than men. This assertion reminded me of this list of undeniable facts. Research on bread indicates that...

Brightness, Would you be female by any chance. Of the last 12 topics you are the last to post on 11. Getting the last word in that often makes me think your gender is showing. :wink:

With the shouting and vulgarity I miss your point. Are you suggesting that both world wars were not to do with economics? If so I would have to disagree. Hitlers desire to rule Europe was certainly to do with economics. German support for Hitler was certainly to do with a perception that they...

RicharP, Good point, and it brings us full circle. We must demand that "our" army operates to a standard that we can believe is right. squaddies beating the ** out of rioters may be understandable from our own perspective but that may not make it right.

Legal and working all over the world. They weren't legal in Iraq when they operated there when Sadam was in power. Were British forces just blowing people up for the sheer hell of it in Iraq when they dropped bombs or fired missiles? Of course not. They believed their actions were moral and...

I wish life were that simple. Riots in Belfast last summer were after 9/11 The IRA "ceasefire" predated 9/11 by a good few years Spies in the IRA, when werent there spies in the IRA, didn't seem to stop them in the past eighty odd years, why would it do so now? I was in Belfast last...
