People who have to propagate an image of being ?hard? tend to do so to cover up some feeling of inadequacy. Same as people who are c@nts in order to succeed in the political or business world do.


I could strip, reassemble and fire a handgun when I was 10 years old, I can kick a football straight, I can handle myself when necessary and I?m pretty well educated but I feel no need to use these things to somehow validate my manhood or value to society. Although admittedly I now seem to be indulging in a little macho posturing.


A person?s value is the value that those around them ascribe to them. Personally I?ve found that neither being ?hard? nor ?successful? influences this positively. They are just self indulgent states of being.


Oh and I deal with government on a daily basis and do not approve of the way it functions at all but believe me, people do not get to the top by being soft.

When Mic first went on TV he got lots of this sort of stick, he even said if you put yourself up there expect to be shot down. I personally think most of the comments are laughable but I see no one replied to this racist comment, because no matter how skilful the prose you can?t hide what you really are.

I didn't even notice the racist comment before and think it's out of order. I also think you lot all went on the defensive cos none of you can kick a ball straight.


When the oil runs out and climate change hits, there won't be the kind of civilisation you lot are propped up by now. If you can't build your own house, grow your own food or protect your land, you are gonna be in trouble.

Excuse me chaps - hold on to your hats. There was no racist comment and none intended. I think you must be very weird to see what was admittedly a personal pop, due to my sick sense of humour at someone I don't know, as racist. Since I have no idea of his ethnic/national background and never gave it a thought as I assumed he was a salt of the earth yeoman I think you need to retract this statement.

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • 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!
