I was coming back to the east midlands from Wales yesterday and was delayed somewhat by a massive traffic jam that stretched most of the way around the A5 ring road around Shrewsbury. Eventually we got to the cause of the delay - there was an...

Forgot to mention that it wasn't obvious how to get even the top off the Bosch DW, once done and the sides removed I found an old mouse nest in it! The blighters seem to be able to post themselves through the narrowest of holes. I doubt if...

Not being able to buy a plug for the strimmer until Thursday I decided to have a go at the Bosch dishwasher cyurrently taking up space in the hall. Couldn't find the exact manual or YouTube for it, so am having to undertake yet another voyage of...

I have now found a product especially designed to grout/glue/fix zinx guttering, Only €14 and sold in a DIY place in the town we will be going to on Thursday, supposedly. So, happy about that! It's basically like a mastic and comes in the normal...

Thanks for the tip! It originally started weeping in corners, now the end of one gutter has come off completely. I like the idea of the rubberised paint. I'll have to work on what that is called in Frog! But the broken off bit I'll have to use...

Why fibreglass? If its galvanised tin gutters has it perforated, or is it leaking at the joints? I have a 1930's galvanised valley (cheaper'n lead) on my roof and it perforated so was weeping into the attic. Roofing bloke gave it 3 coats of a...

Slinging it down here and will be doing so for the next while. When we came back from the shops yesterday we cast a really critical eye over the rendering on the outside of the house. We have galvanised guttering here and it is leaking all over...

Yes thanks for asking. I have checked that the throttle goes fully wide when fully actuated, and closes properly to the tickover rest position when released. Since I last posted, I have, this morning, taken the carb totally apart and blown...

Think you can buy new carbs for under 15 sovs for most 2 stokes, get one off bgay & if doesnt work send it back. :)

I don't know if proper snooker table cloth is baize or not but the nap is definitely directional and has to be thought about when planning a shot...

Only one lad I know who would take stuff the others just dont give a toss cause its not theres, so just leave it where they were working then forget where they put stuff. If it was theres they would remember all right. Now I just say nope go &...

When I was a student in Devon I once had a party at the house I shared right out in the sticks. We knew we didn't have enough crocks etc so we told everyone to turn up with a knife, fork, spoon plate and bowl! A good friend of mine cooked up a...
