  1. Looks like Dave has gone with the seller I got mine from, "esavep". The bonus is his will be connected and running long before mine is so I'll get a heads up on any issues!
  2. Only had a can of Fosters today as run out of anything decent I actually topped it off with 7-Up! Back on thread... The errant, diagonal soil pipe now goes through a right angle. This going left to right is a bit steep at about 2.3 degrees: Whereas the one off to the right is too shallow at about half a degree: Bring the joint up higher by packing underneath should fix both issues. But at least I can now sort/ tap into the existing pumped shower feeds
  3. Drilled out the pivot points to 10.2mm but of course then the nylon spacers were a clearance fit. I've secured them in place with clear CT1. The ones at the end were easy but for the middle one I had to make up an extension for the mastic gun nozzle: In the loft today altering the soil run. Then I can see work easier on the rainfall head position and get an idea of how wide the lift needs to be. ...unless I get bored!
  4. Hydraulic? Try screw driven:
  5. I believe that BS EN 636-3 ply uses the same glue as marine ply which is BS 1088 but that marine ply uses harder wood for durability. The 636 can use anything.
  6. Is it all going to be open up top or used as storage space...with stairs etc?
  7. So that's not the house then?
  8. OK I'm game! Point me at what foodstuffs I can eat. Nuts, berries, the odd bit of lean meat? I like nettles and squirrel...
  9. When I was touching 20st and suffering debilitating headaches: Practice Nurse: "Given your BP were going to put you on statins". Me: "And I'd be on them for life?" PN: "Yes!" Me: "What's the alternative?" PN: "Diet and excercise but you won't do that will you!" (Interesting that their go-to was statins straight away). Me: "Watch me and btw you can keep your drugs!" Just under 17st now for a few years and holding. They wanted me to 15 but I don't want to look too good and make SWMBO insecure!
  10. Are they Dana ones?
  11. Sadly yes. Too many old farts up in WK with nothing better to do that get behind a campaign against him. I was one of a very few who came out and wrote letters of support to the health authority and broadsheets etc. All to no avail but I reckon he has had the last laugh as is still practising locally whereas his old practice has failed dismally. I had some really nice messages from him and his wife thanking me. He wasn't pc and spoke his mind. I respected and really liked that. Put it this way we wouldn't likely have our kids without his help and advice.
  12. My old GP was an absolute star! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2086062/Rude-GP-Dr-Richard-Dunn-told-patient-Youll-die-horrible-death.html
  13. All I know is if I have a cored & sliced apple and handful of unsalted nuts (ideally walnuts) in the morning I'm good until well past lunchtime. As long as i drink I'll make it to early evening. More energy and clarity than if I eat a full English. I try and limit meat to once maybe twice a week. I will after a couple of weeks have to have a steak or I get a bit antsy!
  14. Our Bosch dw is about 20 years old. I've fitted a new mains intake connector on the back and changed the element twice for one from a white goods recycler. You can't get a new element but can still buy the complete instantaneous water heater but it's pricey. They say you can't change the element in them. You can if you have 4 pairs of hands!
  15. There was a piece in one of the respected broadsheets that we in the sanitised West could eventually have to import "brown gold" aka carefully screened "deposits" in pill form from skinny, Third World donors. Probably the fittest I've been when I hand dug down the bathroom floor by 18" and moved the old clay drainage system!
  16. Pretty sure I only put on weight after a run of antibiotics for dental issues and a mass dose of the things when we too had issues conceiving. Up until then I was as skinny as a rake and had grown up playing in the woods & around animals etc. No allergies either.
  17. The flip side to all this is that there is a school of thought says we are in fact too clean. From the sanitised food we eat to what we scrub our skin with. Certain types of "mud" can seemingly treat and beat drug resistant bacteria.
  18. Oddly enough I remember my mate spending the whole of his first week's wages years ago as a plumbing apprentice on Royal Dutch lager at the local offy!
  19. I really think kimchi stands on its own...as in could grow legs and walk!
  20. Blame the Hobgoblin... Not if but when!
  21. This was another 16mm pipe fitting:
  22. They say alcohol is good for snake bites. That's why I always carry a snake! (W C Fields I believe).
  23. This was the "agreed" drawing. I don't have the height for a swept bend: Which I've translated to this:
  24. Got some of those JD Ciders sitting here. My boy got them as a present, tried one, then decided he didn't really like them. I tried another but they're really not my thing. Also two chilli flavoured beers. Things aren't that desperate yet!
  25. Do you have to increase the fall angle if the run isn't straight, say an L shape?
