  1. Get a token for the tolls from Sanef Tolling then you don't have to fumble about for change and get out to put it into the machine at every toll, just sail through the Telepeage lane at 30kph
  2. we used Happy Hatters for our daughter's birthday and they were excellent, kids loved it.

    Lead Pipes

    No, was a specialist who only do that, I assume the equipment isn't cheap. We used Curaleak - 07969 940 431, think the guy's name is Ian Loads come up in a search as well: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=replace+water+main+with+mole&oq=replace+water+main+with+mole&aqs=chrome..69i57.8703j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8

    Lead Pipes

    We also had a lead pipe but have since replaced it with a modern poly pipe as we wanted to get some extra water pressure in the house. The guys that did it used a "mole" to put the new pipe in so there was no digging and very little disruption, wasn't expensive either, around ?400 I think.
  5. What I don't get is why the council didn't get planning permission in place before they sold it..would have added a couple of hundred grand to the price.
  6. Maybe the council has other areas to cover other than East Dulwich?
  7. so did I, was great got 2 extra portions of fries too :-)
  8. I live near Penge East and just googled P-Block which is my nearest gang....first thing that comes up is http://study.com/academy/lesson/p-block-elements-on-the-periodic-table-properties-lesson-quiz.html which is encouraging...not all gangs are guns and drugs, seems this lot are more of a study group

  10. I'm currently doing StrongLifts 5x5, very effective http://stronglifts.com/5x5/
  11. I didn't think this forum could get more middle class.....I was wrong
  12. I think Sony intend to support Windows 10, they just haven't got round to testing it yet. Probably doesn't help that they no longer make laptops..
  13. People who insist on walking around with no top on, generally a bit porky, and holding a beer
  14. I did a direct access course at Metropolis in Vauxhall, cost around ?600 for a week (was a while ago now)
  15. Tomb Raider: you get to solve puzzles while being chased by wolves
  16. our radiator is on the wall between the room and hallway, to be honest it's rarely on because the loft is so well insulated so it's quite small amyway
  17. We had a juliet balcony put in and it's great but we get sun in the morning from the Velux windows at the front and from the french doors at the back in the evening, without I think it would be a little gloomy in the afternoons/evening. I suppose it depends on your house's orientation. We didn't find the lack of wall space a problem as the room ended up being pretty big, probably depends what furniture you want to put in there.

I was in Singapore a few years ago at a party and the host served some French wine that was so corked I nearly puked...he had been happily drinking it and talking bollocks about fruity notes all evening
  19. I thought it was really pathetic...lots of people eating things that are expensive rather than because it was nice. The Chinese guy clearly didn't like caviar but felt the need to eat it because of the price, and the "ladies" at the caviar tasting clearly knew sweet FA about it but still trying to out do each other.

    Old computer

    I drilled a few holes in the drive of my old computer, broke a few drill bits in the process...they are tough!
  21. hmmmm...3 posts from "tinahomemaker" all of which recommend Central London Lofts....draw your own conclusions
  22. I had one done last year by Taylored Lofts, they were very good and am happy with the work, they even came back after a couple of months to fix a couple of small issues without complaint.

    CCTV

    Has anyone got CCTV? I'm thinking of installing a system to monitor the front and back of the house and maybe a few internal cameras and would like something that's easy to install, gives good quality images, and is viewable from the internet/a smartphone as well as records to a hard disk. Any recommendations? Are the Maplin systems worth buying?
  24. I have just finished a loft extension and it cost 65k all in including a new boiler, pressurised hot water system, decorating, carpet, the whole lot.
  25. have a look at 1&1, they have a tool to build your own depending on your requirements
