I'm sure I'm not the only one on here who misses him. Although his political posts annoyed some. Talk to him privately and ...well, shouldn't say should I?!He's a talented man that James Martin. Equally at home rebuilding gearboxes as he is with haute cuisine, the latter with an added piquancy provided by the EP90 under his fingernails.

It was just a probably not very good joke pretending to confuse the celebrity chef with the James Martin who was latterly of this parish.EP90?
Gearboxes?
I love it that you are as old skool as me!!!
OK

Calling all plumberists who might have a clue as to how this could have happened.
@brianp38dse etc?
Help, please?
Have you seen the prices of replacements in Frogland?
And they really don't do ones wiv the inlet pipe at the bottom.
No, I got the joke, and I do love the fact that with cars you can distiguish all the liquids that go in it by their smells.It was just a probably not very good joke pretending to confuse the celebrity chef with the James Martin who was latterly of this parish.
When I was young, gear oil had a distinctive smell, and when its subtle bouquet filled the air you knew you were doing some serious repairs. It made me feel very professional.
Neeva as far as we can tell. I think it just objected to being taken off it's perch then being put back on it again.Frost or Erfquake ?

Was wondering why I had that and couldn't see one on others I thought I had the plague or the pox thanks for thatSee the wee green fing on yer avatar pic tells peeps if yer on the forum.
Having to eat gluten free is a right thing that rhymes with grunt.
But we have never seen wine that has gluten in it, to my mind it can't have. Maybe she is allergic to suplhites as well. You can get sulphite free wine, but it is very green and not easy to make.
Diamond core bit the same seize as the hole you want drilling slowlySo here's a thing.
Mad old me is wondering how difficult it would be to make a hole in the base of a new toilet cistern to accept the bottom fill paraphenalia.
I could practise on the old one.
What would you use?
I was thinking of starting with a tile drill
@brianp38dse have you ever needed to do anything like this?
@Ian M in France I know you do work for ex-pats over here, or I think you do, can you tell me if the mounting and flush holes in the base of a French cistern are a near enough match to fit onto a Brit made pan such as the ones we have from B&Q?
The plumbing needed to plumb one in would have to be very unsightly as we aren't about to spend €500 odd on a new bog. Grr
TIA all!
Yes, as they're quite a hard bake, diamond would be my first choice too.Diamond core bit the same seize as the hole you want drilling slowly
Eye planted some homebase tomato seeds. They has started to grow. Will each seed create one string of tomatoes?
