The safest way to do any ladder work is have someone else do it.

Or just get scaffolding fitted. It's surprisingly inexpensive. It was one of the least expensive items when we had our house repainted, professionally, last year.

My son used to scramble up the theatre ladder...

Wasn't that one of Brillopad's wives?...

It's good of them to take the fall for you!...

My wife and daughter get bitten every day even wearing repellent. I don't wear repellent, but seldom get bitten.

Now we're closing to understanding why. https://phys.org/news/2026-08-people...-unbitten.html

Yes, I have left an open goal...

Where did we go? Most odd.

Temperature 25.4 °C (expected 31°C later)
Wind speed 4 km/h from SSE
Wind gusts 6 km/h

Suffering from the heat down here. 20°C sounds heavenly.

Temperature 33.7 °C
Humidity 29%
Pressure 975 hPa

Heatwave might break in a few days. I do hope so. This isn't fun....

Not your fault at all. Mal always doubles down when he screws up. He hasn't learned that when you're in a hole you really need to stop digging....

Let me help. You refered to Andy Burnham's predecessors.

1. Starmer
2. Sunak
3. Truss
4. Johnson.

They were Prime Ministers.

HTH BIDI....

If a lie continues to generate engagement, they'll keep using it.

But it's probably not a lie!

I had quite simple contracts - billing was half-days. Rarely any meetings. Seldom urgent deadlines. It really depends on the nature of the work - I'm so far behind the lines from customer facing that I'm half-convinced they're a myth....

They already have. The moderators of this site were replaced last year....

Yes....

5 days apparently being available. I wouldn't do it. But if the clients are happy with productivity... We've all worked with people who take 5 days to do what we achieve in half a day....

Approximately 25 million tourists requiring an ETA travel to the UK every year.
ETAs cost £20 per person and last 2 years. Including children.

25 million * £20 / 2 = £250m per year....

Not so. If the UK had stayed in the EU and not joined the Schengen zone, then travellers would just use the EU/CH/EEA lane as they did before. Just like the Irish and Cypriots do now....

Confirmed. It's murder....
