A cobra meeting refers to a room! ( cabinet office briefing room) However; c can o others b be as r rubbish a as us. thats another question.

How can you not be tempted to join in with the demands of c21 life?

Ive been on boats since 1979 with solidfuel stoves and in spite of 2 co alarms and smoke detectors got caught out last year. Replaced the stove seal and doubled the insulation behind it as part of changing its orientation. Cleaned chimney. Smoke pellet allgood. Few nights later in strong wind stove ran away. Boiling kettle whistle alerted me. As i looked to the stove i could see reflection of flames-on the new silicate boards. No smoke alarm no co alarm. The string seal had unglued under the catch allowing an inch or so to fold into the fire rather than sit in the grove. Stove was pretty hot even though bottom damper was 98% closed. i always leave a full kettle on the fire.

No the rising bread is in bags and the lister runs on virgin olive oil. ( honestly) I think we need to update. What is this mains electricity that people speak of? I have none here this morning ( in australia) and neither does the boat in englands cool and turbulent land.

We have never even owner a hair drier never mind an air frier. Sophistication is getting bread to rise on the mighty listers cylinder heads, and air frying is lumps of 20/50 being hurled out of the exhaust as flaming lumps, when you wind up flat out in a tunnel.

On the involuntary property the tenant failed to pay the rent for fourteen months, thus causing problems for my mothers care home fees( joint owner) He caused 22000 damage. He then chose to exit the planet following trying to set fire to it after court eviction. The house sold for less than the probate value in 2004 in 2019. That added 15000to the losses.( iht payment) The nottingham estate agency as agents continued to take their charges until threatened with negligence win win ok….

Why. Without landlords you wont have homes. I have rented, bought , bought to rent, rented while being a landlord, been an involuntary landlord ,and recently made myself voluntarily homeless while renting out a property to others, rather than end their lease and inconvenience them. Its not simple.

Observe where reaches maximum outward travel.Thats measurement point.

You cant avoid the cgt by living in a previously rented house. You mitigate some of it. We made a modest gain on our hovel over 9 years, but because it was let while we worked abroad , and then moved in on retirement for 4 we paid it. Such is life.

Im not scoffing at the buyers they have little choice. I rail against the rampant profiteering of the developers, and the collusion of the banks and mortgage companies. It started with joint mortgages and will end with lifetime. The debt trap stifles creativity and mobility, its unfair. I remember when mortgages were3 times earnings and 10% deposit, and there is no reason why they should not still be. its a ponzi market which excludes ordinary workers.

To the appreciative an object of history and potential, financially beyond reach ., To the ponzi speculative housebuilders a toy to attract the gullible to a chicken coop in the air, it will be cast aside once the last victim has mortgaged their life to live in Alperton. Truly a levelled up society.

See never let the truth get in the way of a good story. Its a piazza shack in Alperton.

Its a star class boat pavo is a constellation .

So Thaxted gets bought in a great condition taken to london and destroyed to be turned in to a muppet theatre. Pavo gets taken to london and turned into a pizza shack. Any other heritage destroying ideas for grand unions?

Hopefully if no one can go and negotiate the scrap yard will see the value, and salvage it. Too much money and indifferent to history, by the sound of it. Maybe the owners having seen it in the skip the yard will heave it out!

Tappet should be 0.46-0.50 mm below the level of the face of the crank case door. if in doubt eer on the under rather than over. Fuel starvation is better than forcing the cam against the tappet. Took me three goes and I was only lengthening tappet half a turn at a time.

It’s 4 am in the Uk for fricks sake. insomnia an issue. I am at least in an alternate time zone, and delirious with omicron. What’s your excuse for becoming Tory?

Before the European landmass brexited stage right and cruised off to form the north western part of Europe that land was a shallow inland area. By creating a tidal barrier we are following the vile work of the Europeans. Having insisted they go we should not copy them. It is very counter to the new isolationist policy. We should let the fens flood. Inundate peterborough ( what’s to miss) , swamp Cambridge ( getting rid of the seat of Tory ‘learning’ and the corrupt elitist education system). The remaining country will become more overcrowded assisting in rent and property prices for the elite. Countless square perches of land will require no maintaining, and the councils will reduce the pothole bill. The savings will be massive. Levelling up will be inevitable we will set a new high water mark in achievement. I condemn this vile European idea, barrages, tidal electricity, wind farms solar panels humbug. Let’s frack the welsh mountains, and send immigrants to mine the Scottish hills, in England we can send the children of the poor back up the chimneys while we burn glorious British coal. perfidious Albion. Apologies covid may have turned me a bit Tory

I recal a steel narrowboat built in the 70s and lived in with no apparent condensation problems. There ws an incident reuiring cabin repairs. T that point it was discovered the cabins structural integrity was so poor due to rust, it was an economic write off.

Reduce upstream flooding, produce carbon less electricity, create jobs and protect the fens. Mitigate global warming. or wait until the local eco sphere is degraded, to the point of stress on existing species, and their inevitable loss. Do something bold and green. ( just put an electric railway on it or a rapid transit system on the top not another sodding road).
