    London Tower Block Inferno

    If the cladding is attached to battens, creating a gap between the building and the cladding, that's a perfect space to draw air, and thus flame, up the full height of the building very quickly. Temperatures will rise extremely fast and the building is as good as lost. There are bound to be...

    Who should be the next Tory leader?

    I'm not quite sure why the DUP alliance is required. They'd support the Tories everyday of the week, over any issue at all, rather than let them fall and have a Corbyn government.

    The 50 year old programmer

    This thread has particularly interesting timing for me. I was 50 yesterday. I absolutely dread the idea of carrying on in this lark for much longer. I have completely failed to keep up with the latest fashions in technology and feel more like a dinosaur every day. Luckily, my current contract...

    Syria - bit quick off the mark?

    According to the Russians. Well, they would say that, wouldn't they. Just as the US will say all 59 hit their targets as intended. Please show a little rigour before believing anything that either side is telling you.

    Syria - bit quick off the mark?

    Tusk, on behalf of the EU, and France and Germany have endorsed Trump's action. WTF has Brexit got to do with it?

    Lloyds of London

    Lloyds already have offices around the world to cater for local markets, including throughout Europe. Why is this news? More scaremongering nonsense.

    Live from Polski Sklep. Some polish already planning return

    Agree about the Poles, and Eastern Europeans in general. They are well educated, motivated, and, for the moment, cheap.

    Westminster Bridge...

    It tried to get rid of me. Well, actually, the dozy bint who drove straight into me did. It got written off.

    Westminster Bridge...

    My last bike was a Deauville. I likened it to a Toyota Corolla. Not pretty, didn't excel at anything at all, and was under powered. It was just very good at everything it did. Not inspiring in the slightest, but a bloody good bike nonetheless.

    Marine A gets out in 2 weeks

    It's quite likely that Sgt Blackman would have said the same thing once. It's worth digging out the reports on the conditions these men had been put in. It's certainly an eye-opener and, while not excusing what he did, goes a very long way to explaining his frame of mind when he did what he did.

    At last

    Because nobody gives a monkeys when they're spending other people's money.

    Want a new washing machine?

    WTF does a washing machine need access to the internet? I can think of no reason at all why this is needed.

    Ok how may have you done?

    28. Many of the ones I haven't done, I wouldn't want to do anyway, so pretty good in all. A threesome, on a beach, with dolphins sounds interesting. :eek

    Drawing Software

    Thank you for all the suggestions. I downloaded sketchup. Not sure I'll use it this time, but it's an extremely impressive piece of software.

    F***ers Keep Trying It

    What is the collective noun for a bunch of lone wolves?
