* * Original post updated to share to 2016 Festival details * *


After such great feedback from the readers of this forum, I?m pleased to share details of this year?s Imperial Festival - a free weekend event that is perfect for families.


Make a date with discovery and enjoy the livelier side of science at the 2016 Imperial Festival on 7/8 May, bringing you ground-breaking research, music and art, talks, dance and workshops.


If you've ever wondered if you can outsmart a robot, what your pee says about you, or whether music makes you healthy, then we have the festival for you.


This free weekend of hands-on, inspiring science is open to all. So whether you're a regular or first-time visitor to the College, join us to celebrate the fifth Imperial Festival.


* Saturday 7 May 12.00-18.00

* Sunday 8 May 12.00-17.00


Imperial?s South Kensington Campus on Exhibition Road (nearest tubes are South Kensington or Gloucester Road)


You can explore the programme online at http://www.imperial.ac.uk/festival, but highlights include:

* Take part in over 40 hands-on research?s demonstrations in our Research Zone, including opportunities to explore astrophysics through food, find out what your pee says about your lifestyle, make art with fat, and play noughts and crosses with lasers

* Explore a unique horseless carriage exhibition, with cars from the turn of the 20th Century being displayed alongside new research into the future of mobility within our brand new Transport Zone

* Meet the next generation of robots that could revolutionise our daily lives and explore how research into the inner workings of our brain could produce true artifical intelligence

* Listen to an inspiring talks programme on everything from predicting the future through science fiction, the health of the Chinese economy, and the geology behind Italy?s dramatic scenery

* Have a tipple at our pop-up pub, the Haemo Globe Inn

* Make jelly worms and DNA bracelets with your young budding scientists in the Explore Zone

* Propose ideas for Paralympic sports of the future with students from the Department of Bioengineering

* Journey into the tiny world of bacteria and the organisms that share our homes and bodies, before learning all about the threat of antimicrobial resistance in our Superbug Zone

* Get away from the crowds with our tours programme featuring opportunities to relax under a sky full of stars in our pop-up planetarium, and become fully immersed in new research within our 313 degree, 64 screen Data Observatory

* Enjoy food and drink from the London Farmer?s Market

Just a reminder - Imperial Festival is this weekend! The weather is going to be gorgeous and there's lots to do outside - plus the London Farmers' Market for yummy food. I've just watched some of the veteran cars arrive for the "horseless carriage" exhibition in the Festival transport zone, and they are fabulous!


Hope to see some of you there - I'll be in the info tent all weekend so if you have questions, come find me!

      Hand car wash

      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.

      Shower enclosure installation

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      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.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      By yaymukund · Posted

      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!
