I did see a Fox run into Sydenham Wells Park, with a squirrel (of all things) in his mouth. The Fox was smiling, but the squirrel wasn't.

I'm sure Vicy's been very nice too. Leave her alone now.

Wot ????'s said kinda I hated Scargill and Benn at the time struck me as all too brown & corduroy. Whereas Ms T seemed so vibrant in comparison, she stood out by miles. Without those two as her arch rivals, UK politics would't have seemed half as fun back in the grey days of the 70's & 80's

V V funny.

Nice axe!

Listen, don't be dissin Syder's Else we pop some caps into the Penge massiv's ass's. Get me !

The "approval thing" is about how efficient it burns the wood ie: calorific exchange, so many existing appliances would technically pass when their top flue is set is at about 3/4 and the heat isn't rushing up the flue. However, some manufactures have now passed the test and a device to restrict their flue is fitted. (often a simple screw restricting the full range on the top vent/flue lever) Ironically, the fire often draws/works better when the simple device (the screw) is removed once installation is complete.

It didn't even ask "what type of oil do you cook with" I mean WTF *wipes mouth with serviette napkin*

Pibe's All you need to visulise is some Gas-Fat-Cat laughing all the way to the bank with your cash - then the maintenance pain will ease. Anyway, wood ash is very clean & light, plus theres an Ash Vac on the market (?50) which magic's away the problemo.

Because from past experiences there's an expectation of an onslaught & diatribe. Think Icelandic volcanos - they'll blow at some point, only when is the question. So for now, as you were! "Tum te tum - what, me ?"

I think the 'Traditional Working Class" use the generic "vibros" for such items *Bob*

Elite class "with a wood burning stove" Jeremy. Radiators and gas fires are a bit - well, you know!

Ha- I'm Established Middle Class apparently And there was me thinking I was an off grid Hobo with a door key.

"Officially" you should have a DEFFRA compliant stove IF you want to burn wood. Smokeless coal and other smokeless products are fine on an open fire - but not so efficient.( see clean air act 1971) The wood burning stove radiates more heat into the room, hence it's more efficient to run. Though it's not a cheap option, you can take the stove out and take it with you when you leave. Design wise, there's a dearth of naff/cutesy Mrs Hedgehog style logburners to wade through, but with a little patience you'll find a neat modern one to suit your look. Make sure you opt for the multi fuel model, it's more flexible fuel wise. Wood combined with a little smokeless coal is optimum. I'm fond of the Danish made Westfire. It's got a nice deep firebox, performs very well and looks good, with a neat flat top plate that you can put a pan on to slow cook with. Lastly, its cleaner & very enjoyable. We've enjoyed many a good "hot-yoga" session in front of one.

"I know it's annoying but i'm ALWAYS right" & "I measure my success in handbags" along with.... "My husband doesn't speak - he's virtually autistic" (tho when she wasn't around he was surprisingly fluent with conversation) Add to that a nasally Kiwi accent & you'll see why I just-had-to get out of there.

I reckon you're fekked steveo. Personally, i'd use it to stir the G&T from now on.

Oh you slag. I was never an inpatient (out-maybe) Where is Essex ?

On a serious note: What is left of the Claybury Asylum, as it was a massive site & once inside what was left ? I quite easily got into one once (yes it was closed) years ago (80's) and it was strewn with patient records & such like. Oh and shite smeared walls.

Oh not again... Too far too quick As I said before, I quite like trolls (good ones) and this one was a very good one, once-upon-a-time BUT jeez H, it's a bit samey no ?

I very nearly wrote that malumbu would come back with his stock "playful thread-high horse" response. But my granite honed cynicism waned somewhat. He is consistent, i'll give him that. What a spineless weasel tho!
