Thanks, I didn't know that. I think I will leave this batton screwed in permanently. I'm heeding your advice to some extent, even though the way you've worded that paragraph makes you appear more like O'Reilly than Stubbs 😄

That was so funny 😀 Maybe you should have been a quantity surveyor.

I remember that scene so well! It was actually Basil who revealed that O'Reilly had used a wooden lintel because after commenting that the job looked okay, Stubbs asked him "Did he use steel or concrete?" Then after your quotation, "we'd better keep the door closed before the whole thing comes...

I've done pointing before on my first house. It's tedious but satisfying, especially if it's on a spot you view regularly. I found that a tyre lever (plastic or metal) from a bicycle puncture repair outfit was perfectly adequate as it had a curved end. If you're adding lime to the mix as I did...

I already knew about those, but didn't know their name. I did test the underside with a powerful tool-holding magnet strip, but there was no attraction. I've been on YouTube and found somebody screwing a length of baton into each brick, including the bricks at each end which aren't at risk. I'm...

Looks like they don't! 🥺 Would be useful for those who dislike non-football stuff on the Big Board, or maybe also want just one or two in that category.

I think he meant where are you on the site ☺️

Calm down, my post was supposed to be lighthearted! Of course I don't expect them to switch to English just because the colonial power changed. My dig was at the province's laws banning English words being displayed on businesses eg you weren't allowed to display cafe for example without the...

Surely -20 °C is your maximum temp (ie warmest) for donning the 'big and fluffy', otherwise you'd be wearing it throughout the summer.... Oh, and have you now succumbed to those Quebec State laws that demand everything is written the French way, acute accents et al?

Not sure of the exact year but there's a nice avocado toilet and basin downstairs ☺️ Even zoomed in I don't think my pic shows how the brickwork overhangs the door frame, so this one is taken from underneath, into the night sky i.e. that anaglypta is on the ceiling. (Please ignore attachments...

The partially detached garage of my house had been built with two courses of bricks laid directly over the wooden window frame, with a couple of rafters on top! I was wondering if they might have done the same with this entrance, which is supporting a lot more although I realise it's only the...

This isn't Lee Anderson (Nigel's probably still celebrating at Trump's Florida resort 🥺). Bit of an insult to the millions who voted for them (I'm not one of them BTW). They were the THIRD highest in terms of votes cast FFS, so I quite resented Sir Ed Davey's appearance today (even though he's...

In that case, I'm wondering why you didn't refer to 'Thick White People'

Or a raped and impregnated child. My admiration for Jacob Rees Mogg twindled after he admitted that he thinks such victims should have to carry the baby full term. Is Arizona that extreme?

You seem to ignore the many millions of women who voted for him.

You've bizarrely included some irrelevant nonsense about 'Merry Christmas' whilst ignoring the fact that he boycotted Biden's inauguration in contravention of historical protocol. I hope Biden does the same on 20th of January! 'used a racist dog whistle by calling COVID the “China virus” '...

I'm wondering if Trump approved/made the choice of that song, and whether he knew it was by a gay band.

There must be tens of millions of sexist women there then.

If it's all gloom and doom for us, just imagine what the Ukrainians must be thinking right now.
