Welcome to the forum computedshorty.


Before starting threads you might want to try doing a search, using the search box top right, to see if there's already a thread running on your topic that you could add to. The forum has been running for a while now and lots of things have come up before. It's always good to hear new voices and new opinions, but seeing the same threads satrted over and over does start to get a bit dull.

Don't be put off computedshorty... I found it very interesting. Maybe I missed the fascinating previous thread.

Actually, think I might have seen it but it wasn't very good. Nobody mentioned people like James Nesbitt, Jenny Eclair, the girl from Gavin and Stacey, Monica Ali or a number of other people.

The forum is for everyone not just those who are long in the tooth and continually looking for something new.

Since you missed them, Gimme, here's the first thread, the second thread, the third threadand the fourth thread on the topic.


You're obviously not alone in finding the subject fascinating and, if you look through, you'll find everyone you've listed plus an awful lot more mentioned.


I'm not trying to put anyone off, but it does get a bit tedious when things just go round and round.

I'm with Anna.


If you are new you cannot be expected to read the whole back catalogue, but that is where the search function comes in handy.


After sometime on here, you will be old hands and experience the same groan when someone new starts something old.

Surely the idea of the Gossip section is for bored people to kill a few minutes / hours etc.

So what if the discussion has been had before. "Famous people in Dulwich" is hardly a thread designed to exchange information.


I can see the point of someone asking "anyone got any advice on sash windows" and being pointed to the thousands of posts on it but the point of gossiping isn't the same. Computedshorty probably didn't start the thread to get information but rather to have a natter and kill a bit of time.


Do we really want guardians of the forum who tell people what they can and cant natter about?

I don't. If I see a thread that asks "what's the best curry in ED?" I just don't open it.

If you don't like what's on, change channel.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
