    Laminate floor going mental

    Well, when that exakt saw turns up an expansion gap is going to be created, that should sort it out enough for now, if it expands again and takes up that space well, by then it will be past it anyway, but laminate flooring what sort of life does it have five years ?

    Worst nightmare....

    Sadly there are many motorists that believe cycles have no business being on the roads as the roads are for 'road tax' payers only.

    Security bubble

    Does the truth of what the person was beyond what the media has told everyone else is the case make the situation any less ? But surprising of the media to lie as it is usual with them to put the boot in first regards the apparent feckless, or is it they thought they could make more political...

    Ah well, my landlady is angling for me to leave anyway as she has after seven years of no contact suddenly taken an interest in the place again and is saying she wants to replace the kitchen which has taken on the consistency of a digestive biscuit and the bathroom suite because it looks old...

    Castles Made Of Sand. Sandstone, That Is.

    Archaeology always interested me, as digging holes and playing in mud was always strangely my thing, I even used to bury my toy cars in the garden as a kid, my mother still unearths them gardening now. My interest was fired further when I took a job as a chain man with a tunnelling company...

    Laminate floor going mental

    Laminate floor in my flat is going nuts, it's expanding and creating a hump in the middle of the room, the kind if you stand on the hump the boards flex badly. Now it is only the cheap mdf stuff with a plastic wood like coating, but it's doing my nut. But what is happening aside from the fact it...

    You must understand that everyone is a potential terrorist and has to be dealt with accordingly which usually means over reaction. As to the guy's safety he was safe on his bike he became unsafe when he was grabbed from his bike and wrestled to the ground where he was then in very real danger of...

    Watch the weather today.

    Just found out tonight the smithy where a lot of my tools are at is under a metre of water. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-18752048 That will be more rust to add to the rust, as everything is rusty in there. The bridge mentioned is adjacent the smithy.

    Shock fork for GT Timberline ?

    Recommend me a shock fork for a '95 GT Timberline, just a general purpose fork to lighten up that front end as hitting stuff with a rigid fork is kind of harsh despite alloy bars, stem and gel grips. The bike is general purpose, some trails, lots of mud, hills and road etc, a means of...

    Hot palm on Macbook Pro

    First of all, thanks to all who have suggested and he who took the trouble to ask at work, on the pc 'felt' across the exhaust outlet was common, mind with an air intake on the bottom what could I expect, but the pc comes apart roughly every six months for a de- felt, fan clean and hoover out...
