Well, I finally prevailed. :) The issue seems to be that the outside legs of the spring compressor need to be enough coils down the spring to compress a decent amount of the spring and then you lean on the whole thing to compress the remaining...

Sad really, there's so much misinformation out there and flawed studies which have largely been debunked but people seem to want to believe the more sensationalised stuff or just plain negative stuff. I would say not drinking to excess is a good...

Yep, that sort of thing. The vigneronne we talked to who has a daughter in ther 20s who she hoped would take the business on, even as a kid was sksing where her 5 a day were coming from. She don't drink alcohol at all. Peeps are drinking less...

I was going to say similar to ‘er indoors but thought better of it

I think this might be linked to the horribles at number 8 wanting it which has to go down our drive. Personally we don't give a flip we just don't want it to cost us yet more money. We pay 6 months for nothing as it is! :mad:

Mornin all. Busy day yesdi, including getting in a quarter tonne of coal for the burner at last years price. Reckon it'll go up 15 - 20% with new stock. Need to put a new rope in the door. The mighty Gosport Borough FC (who?) beat Basingstoke 2...

Morning folks! I had a long lay woke at quarter to six. Not done that in a few months. It's so good to be at home. Looking forward to a square roll after a wee walk. I'm so happy to be home.

Saw this last night, similar vintage to the Manta mentioned earlier on, those reg. plates are old, the Manta had that style as well.

Similar story with relatives in Norfolk, was said to have been ordered - IN FEBRUARY - job done in July but it did not go smoothly. Long story, I did a lot of the leg work with call centres in the end.

Anyone else being bothered by BT telling you, "guess what you are being changed to Digital Voice" Which for us ain't a problem, we already have it over here and it is great in that broadband data is unlimited and phone calls to any landline in...

Yer might find they switch oft each area in turn. Gives them chance to prioritise an area to update. Muvva ippo won't be appy when she needs a broadband connection cus she won't turn on her mobile and use it.
