Seems to exclude Norway for some reason, I'd bet the list would look a bit different if that was included.

Good luck with it

Still a shit hole now Clive. Just with more and bigger pot holes.

So the lunar orbiters sent to the moon in the 60’s were also faked? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Orbiter_program …and the orbiters up there now, launched 15 years ago or so are fakes too, and all the photos they have sent back are faked, and the high res images of the Apollo sites are faked too … ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Reconnaissance_Orbiter …and the photos gathered by the Japanese, Indian and Chinese of the Apollo sites are all fakes, and the various countries which tracked the missions on the way to the moon by radar are all in on the conspiracy and are faking everything. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-party_evidence_for_Apollo_Moon_landings That’s a fuck of a lot of people supposedly “in” on the fakery and supporting it for no obvious reason.

Sadly not, - don’t have any bike bags/ luggage & wife not interested in bikes which would mean I’d be here in my Tod. Lovely place though.

Currently in Copenhagen and it’s lovely. No litter, cheap public transport ( that actually works), park your bike and it’s still there when you go back to it, great bars, no obnoxious twats, no pot holes … it’s lovely, tho a bit cold.

But you didn’t think shadows could be anything but parallel until I proved otherwise. Their direction is dictated by the angle of the object casting the shadow. It’s physics. The reality is that no matter how much of the hoax “ evidence” is shown to be incorrect the conspiracy theorists will just go back to the internet for another piece of so called evidence.

But Zacc you thought that the moon landing was a hoax and one of your principal arguments was that the shadows weren't parallel. It seems to be one of the main arguments the moon hoax lot put forward. It took 20 seconds, two match sticks and a torch to show you that argument was bollox. Tell me again who's on the short bus?

I’ve been called lots of things, but never that before . My wife worked for a company where the MD was a colonial type, very well spoken with a large period house in its own large grounds. Like everyone else he had to put his bins out at the end of the ( long) drive on bin day. One day he went to collect them and saw that someone had spray pained “ cunt” on one of them. He wheeled it in, didn’t bother to clean the paint off but went and got a spray can and painted “Rich” in front of cunt and just put it out as normal the next week.

Hampshire, the place which would elect a dog turd as an MP if it had a blue rosette on it. Out in the sticks west of Basingstoke and north of Winchester where every road is more pot hole than road.

I don’t go out if it’s wet, or for that matter when there is a ton of salt on the roads. Really aggravates me having them caked in salt which then either causes instant rust or turns the garage floor into a dank mess. However well you think you have washed it all off inevitably you’ve missed a bit, or a lot. Round here the grit truck is out seemingly within 20 mins of the last rainfall, even if it’s not forecast to go below 5 degrees for the next few days.

That looks really nicely made, sadly it’s prob illegal in this country where the government decide what’s best for us all.

It’s shit isn’t it, bloody rain all damn day. To make matters worse the road outside my house is at the bottom of a public byway which the electricity folks kindly dug up a few weeks back but made no effort to sort the surface out. Now every time it rains 5 tons of mud and crap washes down onto the road. Need to get myself a dirt bike I guess …

They do, to some degree, but because of the damage to the UK economy as a result of us economically shooting ourselves in the foot so we can be free, they just can’t afford as much. The NHS is still waiting for its £350 million or whatever it was a week.

Wow, that's posh!! You bike is super clean ...

looks nice! What is the orange and black thingumy that looks like a 9v Duracell just in front of the rear spring?

The best argument against democracy is a 5 min conversation with the average voter. Or 10 seconds if in the USA.

I think the early model years had a 19" front and an 18" rear. Makes the bike feel a lot taller. Im not bothered about all the carbon and bling paintwork so wouldn't pay the premium price but I love my FTR.

@Clive - how old is the building? Extract fans for bathrooms can normally be adjusted to over run for up to 15 mins, altering it to as long as poss might help. Some extract fans wouldn't blow out a candle, the volume of air they shift varies with model/ make, obviously the more wellie the better, and having the thing directly over the shower helps. If its in the ceiling there will be a length of duct running the extract to the exterior, the shortest path with proper ductwork rather than that crappy Flexi stuff offers the least resistance. Might be worth checking that the loft insulation has been put back on the bathroom ceiling too, lots of times people doing things in the roof move it about and dont put it back.

Sorry, meant to reply earlier but been a busy day. Condensation can be a bitch to resolve, I look at umpteen places a month with issues like this. There are various things you can try or ask the housing association about trying. The amount of moisture that air can hold changes with temp, the colder it is the less it can hold (so the relative humidity goes up) to the point where if it gets cold enough and the RH gets to 100% then condensation will occur. Its a bit like sitting outside with a cold beer, the air in contact with the cold glass cools until condensation occurs. The aim is therefore to keep the internal surfaces warm enough or the humidity low enough so that the dew point is not reached and condensation doesn't occur. Keeping the heating on low all the time rather than a spike of heating twice a day is good advice but obviously it costs money. When you have a shower keep the door closed and open the window, use the biggest possible extract fan- have it on over run for 15 mins after the light is turned off. You can also get them with humidistats in so they come on when the humidity reaches a certain level. Make sure the kitchen extract actually vents to the exterior, some cooker hoods just run the air through a carbon filter to remove the smell and then recirculate it back into the room. Do your windows have trickle vents, if not they can sometimes be retrofitted. You can also get air bricks which can be fitted to help promote ventilation, they need to be sleeved across the cavity and good ones have baffles in to prevent drafts and external noise. Using a dehumidifier can help but it needs to be left running and the tank emptied so it doesn't cut out. Let the air circulate around the house rather than keeping doors closed. Don't dry clothes on radiators, ensure tumble dryers vent to the exterior (or are of the condensing type) Avoid having furniture close to external walls where the condensation occurs as it reduces air circulation. Increasing insulation where possible, assume this is something the HA will need to do. Try to avoid using any paint other than basic emulsion, possibly with a fungicide in it. Paints containing latex (vinyl silk etc) stop the walls from breathing but if its already been decorated its too late. Some people have good success with positive input ventilation, again its something the HA would need to fit but a bungalow is an ideal property to fit these to. There are several firms making these units such as - https://www.nuaire.co.uk/residential-ventilation-systems-nuaire/positive-input-ventilation-systems-piv-nuaire Try opening the windows on opposite sides of the house for a few mins every couple of hrs to change the air. The germans have a word for this - its something they habitually do. Sorry for war and peace but I hope some of it might help. Sorry if you already know all this, don't mean to teach my grandma to suck eggs. Let me know if I can provide any further info or help.

It sounds like it could be condensation, in which case it’s a matter of controlling the humidity within the property rather than looking for an external source of moisture. Using a paint with a mild fungicide in it might help control the mould (eg Dulux Mouldshield) but it won’t stop the condensation, if that’s what it is.

… don’t let the old man in. Arab saying about getting older which I try to remember as bits of me start hurting and aching, and threatening to stop me doing the things I want to.
