Week 1 points and table... I prefer the old maxxi...

Funny you should say that, in my spare time I also like to collect ornamental owls!...

Trumpy reminds me of Biff in Back to the Future 2, holed up in his tower throwing hissy fits. Where's our Marty McFly to save the day? Was looking for an appropriate image, seems like it's true!...:) https://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/oct/23/back-to-the-future-writer-bad-guy-biff-was-based-on-donald-trump

Funny you should say that, I've been spending my spare time stockpiling Spam and other non-perishables. Those Breixiters won't catch me out...

2-1 was a popular prediction last night...

If gammon was a term exclusively thrown about by non-white people at white people, then you could class it as a racist term, but it's not. Apparently it's a descriptive term originally used by Dickens. Today it's mainly white Remainers using it as a derogatory term against white Brexiters losing their shit. Snowflake is a similar put-down used by Brexiters. Ironic how snowflakey Brexiters have become with the use of gammon. The problem I have with Johnson's article is that there was just no reason to say what he did about letterboxes and bank robbers. He main point was that the burka etc shouldn't be banned, which should be applauded. So why did he feel the need to say something 'jokey' that came right out of a '70's sitcom? It wasn't an off-the-cuff remark, this was something that he deliberately wrote down, presumably that was proof-read, edited etc. Despite the bumbling buffoon persona, he's anything but, journalism was his trade, albeit not a very good one. So one can only assume that this was a deliberate attempt to push the boundaries, see what he can get away with and appeal to a certain Tory grassroots demographic as part of his leadership bid. Fine, but not when it has consequences for ordinary Muslim women going about their daily lives, who will now have more Islamophobic threats and insults thrown at them. Johnson is a complete and utter coont for promoting that, and deserves to be called out for it...

Gammon aren't ''right leaning'' though, they're much further to the right in the spectrum. That was my point...

Keep 'em peeled...

Trumpy usually Tweets against the truth...

Depends where you work I guess. A tucked-in shirt a defo no-no, so has to be a tailored hem otherwise you look like a scruffy git. No socks, even short ones look wrong. Length just above the knee, turn-ups look smarter. Tricky thing to get right is the shoes, need to be a cross between formal and casual, Camper do some nice hybrids, but not for everyone...https://www.camper.com/en_GB/men/shoes/chasis/camper-chasis-K100282-002

A goods train thundering past?...

I remembered the thread but didn't realise you were the OP until I found it. Thought it was last year, how time flies!...

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out? Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out? Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out? Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me?and there was no one left to speak for me. Never again Uncleglen. Never again...

You're making a habit of this Doc... http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1714179,1714531#msg-1714531 Where did you end up going to?

I've just realised Sue that with that option there is an issue with your pull-out shower screen. I've never seen one of these, but presume that it slides into a cupboard/void/pocket behind the wall? Would you be able to repositon it ok? If not then you would have to replace it with another type of screen/curtain. Also, the large shower valve looks like it is currently centred on the bath, moving the bath would make it off-centre. I don't know about you but that would jar with me and I'd have to move the valve too...:)

Access from the ceiling was my first thought, but it would be extremely difficult to take out the floorboards as they are nailed down from above into the floor joists. The bath will also be supported on some of the floorboards either directly or indirectly. Opening holes in ceilings usually creates a lot of mess in the room below too. Sue obviously wants to keep the existing look and arrangement, so perhaps the best solution is to pull the bath forward as far as possible towards the towel rail (which I think you will have to do anyway to carry out the repair), and then build a matching boxed-out shelf along the width of the bath, to provide easy access for any future problems. It's also a nice feature for scented candles etc during those romantic baths...:)

If they have to remove the towel rail and screen, so be it, much better to do that than knock a hole in your external wall. If someone has designed this layout for you, I'd go back and ask them what they think should happen. It's been poorly thought out, after you go to all this trouble to get new taps fitted, you could later get an unrelated leak in the pipework and you're back to square one again. They should've fitted wall mounted taps and spout on that boxed-out wall with the removable shelf i.e. easy access for repairs!...:)

What tends to happen is that there will be 2 copper (or cheaper plastic) feed pipes coming up from the floor void, in the area below where the bath taps are. Modern bath taps usually come with flexible 'tails', these allow for a bit of flexibility/movement for connecting to the fixed feeds. They would only need a gap big enough for a hand and wrench to work in, so if you can pull the bath forward about 4-6 inches, that should be enough for a hand to reach down and do the necessary. This is how they would've been fitted originally. The idea of creating a hole in the external wall is just crazy, and whoever suggested it, avoid at all costs :)...
