    [Politics] Nuclear Fusion

    We have mega tons of timber suitable for pellets sitting in our hedgerows as fallen/damaged trees rotting away making roads uncomfortable ... Surely not beyond the wit of man to put it to good use?🤔.

    [Politics] Nuclear Fusion

    One source of energy this island has in bucketloads 24/7/365 that could be tapped without fail.... Tidal Power ... And not particularly difficult to harness if done properly.

    Finally after years of looking I found a copy I could afford!. Originally bought from one of the 10p bins that proliferated in North Laine in the early 70s and lost in the mists of time .... Eric ' Monty' Morris - Little District , ska from 64 on Rio label...

    [Help] Any carpet fitters out there?

    Carpet gripper is a vicious b'stard, Maybe get something soft like a potato and rub it across the crevice and it'll show outstanding pins , due to poor manufacturing standards some stick out further than others .. Physchobilly freakout's technique is good as well.

    [Politics] If there was a general election tomorrow

    Whichever candidate stands the best chance to remove the utterly lazy local tory MP here in Mid Sussex , her only visible input in the last few months has been too ask us to vote for her DOG in some underwhelming poll, ... Probably Lib Dem

    [Music] Iconic gigs you were at (with decent footage if you post a youtuby)

    The Downs Hotel , now housing near the shops in Keymer. Plumpton was probably the festivals at the racecourse, and one of Led Zeppilin lived near the Half Moon.

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    True , but given that a significant number of monarchists don't want Charlie on the throne that could throw a spanner in the works. She has been ill recently. As I said ,it's only a theory but ticking it off the list is a defence against the slimeball..

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    Someone on another forum brought up an interesting theory ---- Madge can't be around for much longer, if she goes before he's booted out he'll declare a constitutional crisis and demand to stay in position too ' steady the ship ' and hope that all the kerfuffle blows over - it won't...

    [Technology] Using an immersion heater instead of a gas boiler for heating water?

    I've also been thinking about this from a slightly different angle, at the moment I'm paying 2 standing charges for electricity and gas, ( appx £3pw each ), would it be a decent saving to go electric only ? , given that heating/water is the only gas used in a one bed flat .
