Isn't this just a company saying that they want to listen through phones, notnthatbthey actually do listen through phones?

Ours just plant limes, walnuts and the occasional egg.

Ha - that's bonkers. I should probably do bushy one day - it's a 15 minute warm up run away.

Why do I feel that I've read this story before?

I sent mine back to Jensen to be repaired & tarted up. Cost £60 afair.

If paint dust is anything like plaster dust, you'd need to strip it right down and clean it before using again.

Batman was never known for his decorating.

^ I see they run a barbecue masterclass. Has anyone here done one (anywhere, not necessarily at this place)?

I've only ever learned how to barbecue from books & YouTube - I'm thinking that a hands on might be more informative (and it means I can give my family a ThingTheyCanBuyMeForMyBirthday™).

What isolation exercises are you doing on the seesaw?

rows, which will need some kind of equipment.

At a pinch, you can use a table.

There should be paperwork of some description - replacing the consumer unit is notifiable work, so the sparky should have filled in some stuff.

Damn - wish I'd seen this earlier. I have a paslode im65 that I need to sell.

(I also have an IM350 if anyone is interested.)

now they want metal encased consumer units and blah blah so it was no longer up to code.

EICR Myths

A consumer unit made from combustible materials needs replacing

If a consumer unit is made from combustible material (e.g. plastic), BPG 4 recommends that the presence of a plastic consumer unit is worthy of a note, but does NOT warrant a classification code. If the consumer unit is located under a wooden staircase or within a sole route of escape from the premises, a C3 classification code is recommended.

Either way, this would not result in an unsatisfactory outcome.

Retesting / new EICR is not needed if the C1s and C2s have been fixed and documented.

EICRs are not needed at all, as far as I'm aware, unless you are renting the property out.

Snail farm in city office sparks tax avoidance probe

A city centre office building has been home to a snail farm for more than a year, in what council bosses allege is an attempt to avoid tax.

About 15 covered crates - containing as few as two snails each - have been kept on the lower ground floor of 9 Dale Street, in Liverpool, since 2023.

Under current law, this could qualify as "agricultural use" and this part of the building would arguably be exempt from business rates.

The firm renting the space said it was a legitimate snail farming operation.

Golly.

It does paint UKADA in a bad light, doesn't it. Incompetent, myopic, and malicious.

Bit of filler and sanding, that'll clean right up.

That's phenomenally good. Excellent work!

Work gives me a £25 reimbursement for an eye test

They should be paying the full amount, no?

I'm deep into binge reading N. K. Jemsin now - finsidhed the Inheritance Trilogy and the Dreamblood duology, and they're ticking all of the right fantasy boxes, but also shining a light on just how white and male most of my reading is.

Have just started The Fifth Season.

I have one of these.

I wear a (cheap and cheerful, but still effective chainmail glove, and still have my fingertips.

I don't see how a food processor would come close to the cuts you can get with a mandolin.

Ours is wheeled out when I want lots of consistent thin cuts in a hurry.

I seem to be taking longer and longer to donate - over 9 minutes today. I should asks them for a bigger bore needle.

Are there any fingerprint readers that don't cost a ridiculous amount though.
