Well, at least you had the guts to try....

That'd be Jet LUBE Plus wouldn't it , sir?

Strikes even me as a simple way of turning 'delicate' into frazzelledDave

Looks like a Field Mouse ? Our cat just plays with them. Very annoying

Whatever the delay, every single one of them can be put to good use. They are all annoying. I have, slowly oh so slowly, learned to harness the irritation.

If that's the case, then silence is the most powerful response.

Ask an SE. That's the trouble with asking interesting questions ... when you do, the first impulse is to do it the same way as before. And the next to deflect responsibility for the answer to an expert. Try it?

Yeah, but did you shine the laser down the pipe - like Sean in the video? Such a brilliant little idea - makes it really easy to get the level of the gravel right...... Watch Seamus and Sean in action at speed ....

Yeah but I want sexy..... (as well)

Ouch, ouch, ouch.

OK, I'm getting fed up now. Any more and I'll lock this thread OK?

Boys, boys, come on, play nice. If you cant say something nice, then don't say anything. There's good lads. Cup of tea and a piece of cake time eh?

Contemplating the minor challenge of our foul drainage piping : and came across this little video of how to ensure the correct angle of fall. It's brilliant Nice bit of gentle weewee extraction too. Want to go straight to the technique? 2:58 Recon my laser spirit level set up correctly in the middle of the pipe will do fine. But I betcha @Declan52 will tell me how to do the same more easily.

Broken? When a system demands some sentences be parsed to a degree that would delight a grammarian, it isn't necessarily broken. It's testament to a system invented by humans. Planning's like plumbing: you can attempt it yourself, but if you don't know how to cut a bit of soil pipe without it slipping around like an oiled up pig, I can either persist, or get a plumber. Or watch YT until I'm square eyed. And then get it slightly less than wrong. And try again. If I can't read fast enough, or persist long enough (like my neighbour), and so don't know about the requirement for consistency, then I don't get planning permission. Is that broken? Or just as complex as plumbing? I recon the two are about the same.

No need for me to do the Lottery then is there. I retired the day we got Planning Permission.

Ah, that good old term material. I must say, I struggle with it. So, I'm late back from the pub. Any material difference to the quality of the supper which is now destined for the dogs if I make just one further false move? Supper's now cold: material? I went back on a promise to be back at 7:00: material? Dogs eyeing my supper. Yep, thats material.

That is really very interesting indeed. Thanks very much. This application was refused. (My neighbour less than 25 meters away from us) On these grounds. Briefly Every single word of that logic could have been applied to our site. hence the vital importance of your quotation above: I suspect a good deal will hang on the meaning of '... materially... ' above. This is what the Appeal Inspector had to say ..... Briefly; In other words, the Inspector appears to be saying - yes, the applicant pointed the issue out, but because I haven't got the bits of paper in front of me, I'm not going to consider the matter in the light of consistency. Thanks @MintSprint very much for moving my thinking on a step or two. Very valuable. Ian

Hmmm, interesting. Thanks. If only I weren't building a house, I'd get stuck into that - thats the trouble with only a little learning. But I am reasonably good at speed reading. Does this cover the issue well enough ?

Not sure there is, but IF there is then Martin Goodhall's blog is the place to look. 25 meters away from our build, our neighbour was refused permission , appealed, refuse and is now contesting an Enforcement order to leave the site. I can see no good reason for permission to be refused. The reasons given are here. Not pretty.

'...some tangential function of the force F ... ' is'nt that the force which '.... promotes the desire but taketh away the performance ....' ( Shakespeare W, 1590ish maybe?)

Thought I'd put it in context for you .... glad you like it. Ian

Donald! Keep the ducklings indoors, Russel's doing the Highland Fling again! Apologies for mis-spelling your name Russ. Artistic licence ?

Go on then, dare ya. I might do one of my little illustrations too.... ?

What's the Geberit part number Pete (of the overflow that you have) ? I have the same problem ...I'll dig around on reuter.de. Ian

You see Russ, two Jocks, each wearing a kilt have to be able to dance a Highland Fling in the kitchen..... no need daan sarf is there? The circulation refers to the arc described by a sporran when it's flinging, mate. I mean just imagine what would happen if two sporrans collided at speed. Phwaarrrr, don't bear finkin abaart does it?
