Absolutely. I would feel better about the forum lists if they didn't have "top 10" in the title. That's just too limited. Today's top 10 might not be tomorrow's top 10.

Lists remind me about the good and bad things I have seen. Good to ponder and provoke. As a result of seeing some of the films mentioned on the film list I have made a list of DVDs I want to rent.

And another result of seeing some of the theatre plays people have seen is that I realise just how little money I earn being self employed which has depressed me for the day....


Top Ten Reasons to ban lists?

1. No they're not.

2. They allow us to see what others tastes are, and how they vary from or are similar to our own.

3. This may lead to us 'copping off' with them.

4. Heck maybe even settling down and raising a coupla kids.

5. It allows free rein for those endowed with the quirkiness gene.

6. Sometimes contributors take a sideways look at the subject under discussion.

7. Often with added wryness.

8. Though of course if unchecked 5, 6 and 7 may lead to zaniness.

9. And nobody wants that, do they?

10. Perhaps four pounder may be right, we should be cautious about these things.

This is in my "Top 10 Funniest Threads"



It starts and ends at this though.


The thing that bugs me most about "top 10 blah blah blah" is,


who on earth can remember 10 of anything?


I struggle if I put more than 5 types of alcoholic drinks on my shopping list... (?)


The mouthwash and floor cleaner sections usually lead me astray...

    • 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!
