  1. I’ve finished the bathroom. Just waiting for a new window then fit that, fucking 2 week lead time. It’s boarded up like a crack den. Finished the skirting boards and picture rail in the little bedroom today, I seriously dislike walls that aren’t plumb.
  2. I like the Longstaffs, but Matty isn’t physical enough and Sean isn’t mobile enough. If we are playing those two as the holding midfielders behind a number 10 we get ran over every week imo.
  3. Dani alves has let himself go
  4. I’m sort of coming to the conclusion that a nuclear winter wouldn’t be so bad. Admittedly I have a small family, so apart from dying myself I would lose probably 6 people I care about so not too bad in the grand scale of things. Would maybe allow the planet to reset itself.

    Paid advertisement, what’s your steak in this venture
  6. Always the first thing to go wrong as well in my experience
  7. Haha yeah it’s one of those things with an old house. I’ve ripped the whole bathroom out, repiped it all to move the suite around and now I’m tiling. The boiler is a pig anyway so if it’s a goner then so be it but I’ve got a plumbing coming tomorrow to see what I have fucked up.
  8. Took a week off to do the bathroom, going pretty well but I seem to have broken the boiler. Might put some pictures up when I’m done
  9. He’s big, strong and quick. Not the best finisher. Ideal really cos we have too many lethal strikers as it is
  10. Just caught up on this, outstanding work by the ginger Irishman
  11. If you are going right up to the boundary at the side it might need a party wall surveyor depending on how next door is laid out. Would definitely recommend a structural engineer since you will need a fair few steels.
  12. Wouldn’t trust an Irish who does drives. All your scrap metal will go walking
  13. What kind of work are you doing? Unless it’s a big extension then no real need for an architect, you can extend out up to 4m (single storey, and more than 1m from the boundary) under permitted development. Would be worth contacting a structural engineer to do you some sums and drawings for where the steels etc are going if it’s just a knock through for example
  14. Those are total guesses on the figures, but I can see one happening.
  15. Small claims court mate, only way to track some of these cowboys down
  16. Honestly mate I’ve never heard of someone having the piss taken so much doing a house up?
  17. Anyone who listens to talksport gets what they deserve, reactionist mongs playing lowest common denominator to get bites. Awful shite
  18. Hired a cabin at white cross bay, between Ambleside and Windermere. Not got a lot planned, few walks and some wine in the sun.
  19. Yeah all the areas they have targeted have high asian populations and it’s eid this weekend
