Indeed - Brockwell Park surpassed my expectations. I'm always a bit indifferent to fireworks after a couple of minutes, but a pint in the PR and then fireworks to music from the last 200 years was really excellent and all paid for by our neighbours over in Lambeth...

Given that this is what we are capable of can someone explain why we are still fascinated by burning piles of wood.


Hyper Facade Berlin


Incidentally if you want to recreate this on your house in ED, they mapped the facade of a real building in Berlin, then created a virtual image of it, then put the real building in darkness and projected the virtual image onto it along with computer effects. Honestly it's about an afternoons work and about ?50, your kids will think you're so cool.

Because fire's tangible, and hot, and destructive, and dangerous, and evocative, and romantic, and primal, and smells great, and sounds great, and stirs the imagination, and you can cook potatoes in it.


Whereas that's, you know a powerpoint presentation with delusions of grandeur.

    • If you want to change a radiator and it is the same size, pretty straight forward.  isolate by turning the two valves, one is straight forward hand twist, the other side you need to take the cap off and get an adjustable spanner and turn till closed.  Both clockwise. Use the same spanner to undo the large nuts that fix the radiator to the pipework, open the bleed valve, get a flatish container to catch the water which is likely to be a grotty black, sheets/plastic underneath to protect floor/floor covering.  Then jiggle off, tipping as quick as you an into your water container. Fingers crossed it will be the same back plate fitting.  If not you will have to take the old one off and fix the new one. Replacement is a reverse, allowing the rad to refill and let the air out. No naked flames involved. If it is a different size I can advise on that too. Lots on line too: https://www.toolstation.com/help-and-advice/how-to-guides/how-to-remove-radiator?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19747119835&gclid=CjwKCAiAkvDMBhBMEiwAnUA9BR26YwBA6kOfcR4-JVxfJEjWdhRk6j0imCNcsIfu064wHN54-cs10xoCZ4cQAvD_BwE Although this is for a pressurised (combi) system where you need to get it back to pressure.  Pretty simple.  I don't bother with jointing compound.    
    • Fair enough - I'm absolutely wrong on that one. 👍
    • I'm still completely unclear what happened, apart from that a car apparently crashed into a lamp post opposite the Co-op. I presume the one in Lordship Lane, though the OP doesn't say. Was it speeding? Did it swerve to avoid someone who ran into the road? Did something go wrong with its brakes or steering? Did the driver have a medical emergency or fall asleep or got  distracted by something? Was there something slippery on the road surface? Was the driver hurt? Were any passengers hurt? Were any pedestrians or other road users hurt? Were there any witnesses? 
    • confused by the question?
