  1. It's from when he got battered by his sisters fella
  2. Just started this tonight, worth it for Alison Brie's tits and arse as well tbh
  3. The other side to that is the that Carr probably knew we had a certain budget for a player, say £10 million, and he suggested fucking world beaters that were well over budget. Tbh, you could fire up FM and say Lacazette etc were class, it's not rocket surgery. Not particularly arsed either way like.
  4. I find that pretty hard to believe, we own loads of high rises and they are inspected yearly by the fire service.
  5. It's not just the parents holidays either, it's all the people on the plane with them and the people in the hotel as well
  6. Kids ruin any holiday though
  7. Yeah that's my thinking too with regards the cladding. We have a QS who is straight from her qualifications, she didn't add any safety equipment to her prelims on a job last week... Aye alright love, we will build a four story apartment block with no scaffolding, lift all the precast by hand, nee bother.. Architects are just as bad like you say, they create this drawing with bells and whistles that wipes your arse for you and the client thinks they can have it all for their £3 million budget, then when things obviously have to be removed to hit budget the MC get it in the neck. The MC who can't afford to drop out of tendering because they are still waiting on payment for a job finished last year and need the money to pay staff.
  8. Well I'll just go and fuck myself then
  9. The take up of BIM has been shocking tbf. I work as client, principle designer with regards to CDM and occasionally as main contractor and the levels of "value engineering" are unbelievable, added to the general poor levels of construction knowledge from people like QS' and you are in for a shit show.
  10. May be wrong but didn't Clement look after the youth teams before being promoted?
  11. Probably worked with Paul Clement at Chelsea so can see why
  12. I agree with you but they are still social housing, they will still be renting them and not owning them. So the resale value is irrelevant
  13. They aren't getting the expensive ones man. When you are given land to develop you have to build a certain amount of social housing, these are usually separated from the private sale properties, have separate access roads and no access to the shared amenities
  14. Think there is a big point being missed here. The cladding was flammable and went up quickly, which spread the fire. But these are pre-cast buildings and with appropriate fire stopping in the rest of the building the cladding may have burnt itself out with minimal internal fire spread. If the refurb of the building included interior works then the fire stopping should have been renewed post works and could have saved a lot of lives. It is a legal requirement to install correct fire stopping. This is where I think there may be significant differences between this block and others using similar cladding systems, and where someone will go to prison.
  15. We were linked to him under mclaren weren't we? He was class a couple of years ago but no idea how he has got on at valencia
  16. Would only use it for porn, I have an Xbox one and PS4 and they both gather dust.
  17. Tbf to the sub-contractor they probably presented costs for the three different types of cladding and the client will have chosen the cheaper flammable option. That's what most firms would do anyway.
  18. That kind of cladding is usually a sandwich with 0.5m aluminium on either side of some "insulation". The insulation is usually fireproofed but depending on where you source it (China) it can be made from really combustible stuff too. All the highrises I have worked on have a similar stay put policy in place but they are useless when the fire isn't contained inside a certain compartmented area of the building, and since it spread up the outside in this case it breached all the compartmention
  19. Is the transfer window even open yet?
  20. Depends on the actual cause, HSE sentencing can now include jail time in certain cases.
