  1. How often are you currently watering it? Do you differentiate between how much water you give it in the summer and winter?...
  2. Bound to be a slow burner...so to speak http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,1772372
  3. Fook, how quick did that year go?! Some of his best non-single tracks...http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/david-bowie-70th-birthday-death-anniversary-greatest-album-tracks-singles-brixton-academy-a7511001.html
  4. Sensible advice first mate. If you get on very well with your neighbours it's possible to go down the DIY route and sort out the Party Wall Notice and Award yourself in conjunction with your neighbours, thus saving the costs of a surveyor. But even then, neighbours can subsequently fall out and disagree, people quite often do when property and money is involved. That's why I always think it's best to appoint an experienced third party. And when you have a neighbour that's clearly behaving antagonistically, as in this case, there is no option other than to appoint an experienced third party. Building Control approval is a separate process from the Party Wall process. A PW Award needs to be in place before any works commence, which usually takes a couple of months. With works of this simplistic nature it's common for a builder to issue a Building Notice to the Council 48 hours before works commence, This informs the Council of the imminent works, and should include the Structural Engineer's drawings and calculations. A Building Control officer will then visit site to check the work has been carried out correctly and issue the appropriate approval documentation...

From the Gov Party Wall Act Explanatory Booklet (Section 10): If, after a period of 14 days from the service of your notice, the person receiving the notice has done nothing, a dispute is deemed to have arisen... https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/523010/Party_Wall_etc__Act_1996_-_Explanatory_Booklet.pdf Happy reading...
  6. He looked impressive in the Old Firm game. I also thought Patrick Roberts looks a player, shame he's a blue nose...
  7. That doesn't mean they won't leave though, just that Spurs will get more money if one was sold, and the player in the meantime gets a salary increase. Everybody's happy...until a bigger club comes calling.
  8. But it does make a difference, uncertainty isn't some form of mathematical constant...
  9. Jah better make the most of it, Alli will be playing in white next season, not necessarily Lilywhite...
  10. rahrahrah Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > ''... Brexit uncertainty > exists regardless of when the UK informs the EU of > its intention to leave " Is this implying that even if A50 is triggered, Brexit might not happen?...
  11. Didn't the economists when making their post-referendum predictions base them on A50 being triggered straight away, as that was what Cameron said he would do if Leave won. I think all predictions whether gloomy or rosy are on hold until A50 is triggered...won't be long now!
  12. Week 18 points... Week 18 table...
  13. At least I got a point...:)
  14. I'd normally side with Spurs and have predicted a 3-2 home win, but a draw would suit us best...
  15. RE. rendell's post: I'd always thought (2nd hand knowledge etc) that once we hit the summer/winter solstice dates of the 21st, there was a period of about two weeks whereby there was little change in daylight hours. Then once you go beyond the two weeks it becomes more noticeable again. Technically the days may get longer after the 21st Dec, but it's so minimal I doubt anyone is able to perceive that the previous day was 10 seconds shorter, not even Sue :)...
  16. These dividing walls tend to be either load-bearing timber studs or brickwork, both around 4'' wide. In some cases you will have load-bearing timber studs with brickwork infill panels. 4'' is far too flimsy to support an RSJ, which is likely to be around 8-10'' wide. If you were creating an opening the size of a set of double doors, then a couple of 4 x 2'' timber studs forming a lintel would probably suffice. But once you go beyond that you need to support an RSJ. If you formed a column at the party wall side, this would need it's own independent foundation, and by doing so this could undermine the party wall foundation. It isn't just about building on a party wall, if you were building a rear extension a couple of metres away from the party boundary, you will still need a Notice because it's deemed that the excavations for the extension's foundations could undermine a neighbouring property's foundations...
  17. If you've served a Party Wall Notice to your neighbour, they have to respond within a certain time-frame, to say whether they agree to a joint surveyor, or separate surveyors, either way it is at your cost. If they don't reply to the Notice then you can go ahead and appoint a joint surveyor. If your Party Wall surveyor didn't issue their Notice by Recorded Delivery, perhaps worthwhile to re-issue one, otherwise your neighbour will just say they didn't receive it....

Does his wife sunbathe in the garden with a half-empty bottle of Lambrusco to hand, nibbling on some supermarket bought cheese, and frantically finger-jabbing her tablet* perchance?... *No, that's not a euphemism
  20. I think we need a map to ascertain the truth...
  21. Despite the one-sided nature of the SPL, the Old Firm game is still a great game to watch...C'mon the Hoops!
  22. See my earlier post, flooring place in Catford...
  23. To the tune of Sting's ''An Englishman in New York''... Mkhitaryan, Henrikh Mkhitaryan He's our midfield Armenian :)
