Orange is often said to symbolise courage and creativity

It is uplifting...

It stimulates the appetite, social interaction and even the metabolism

It refers to positivity, energy and warmth

It is a vital colour in the food chain, Vit A, Vit C and so on


Orange is a wonderful colour *Bob*, it even cheered up Rothko for a while

Can lead to controversy in Norn Iron though Charlies.

And of course would be derided by those who had experienced poor service from the portable 'phone company of the same name.

Pondering the former I found myself in a state of some melancholy. I wandered hither and yon, deep in thought and with no mind to any destination. My revery was pulled up short by the sound of amplified music.

I found myself quite by chance and likely as not having passed every other bar on Lordship Lane, outside the Vale.

I can't say that some mystical force had drawn me there. I can't say it hadn't either.

I entered the bar and for some reason and don't ask me why because I'd never even heard of it before, ordered an orange 'juice'.

As the barkeep poured the bright libation I swear I saw a wink of Florida sun spring forth.

Raising the glass to my gorgeous pouting lips, I took a deep draught.


It was OK I suppose, nothing to write home to my cousins about though.

On the other hand it made me feel better about the colour orange.

But the main thing is I'll never go anywhere else from now on but the Vale, for pretty much all my meals and any liquids I might require (unfortunately they're not open for breakfast, I feel a petition coming on!!!).


From now on my motto is 'When life seems of no avail, go to the Vale, there's vail to spare'.

????' date=' just in case you thought I wasn't being serious about orange... thought i better put the record straight, [b']I was[/b]... Colour theory is a fascinating subject and very few people are aware of the direct impact colour has on physical and mental well being...


the human eye can detect over 10 million colours, and each colour has a different impact (I could expand on some to the scientific research that has been done in this area but...)


Interestingly, the brian has no capacity for accurately recording or remebering colour, so keep looking and keep enjoying

    • I agree with Jenjenjen. Guarantees are provided for works and services actually carried out; they are not an insurance policy for leaks anywhere else on the roof. Assuming that the rendering at the chimney stopped the leak that you asked the roofer to repair, then the guarantee will cover that rendering work. Indeed, if at some time in the future it leaked again at that exact same spot but by another cause, that would not be covered. Failure of rendering around a chimney is pretty common so, if re-rendering did resolve that leak, there is no particular reason to link it to the holes in the felt elsewhere across the roof. 
    • Hey, I am on the first floor and I am directly impacted if roof leaks. We got a roofing company to do repair work which was supposed to be guaranteed. However, when it started leaking again, we were informed that the guarantee is just for a new roof and not repair work. Each time the company that did the repair work came out again over the next few years, we had to pay additional amounts. The roof continues to leak, so I have just organised another company to fix the roof instead, as the guarantee doesn't mean anything. 
    • Fernando came and sorted out our very overgrown garden.  He is a very friendly chap, works meticulously and charges very fair prices.   We’ve been using his Services for many years now and will continue to do so.    Here are his contact details if you have any gardening questions: Fernando - 07946 757938       
    • Danny re-tiled and generally cleaned up the roof tiles on our front bay in SE22 a few weeks ago. He was fairly priced, and although the scope of the work changed slightly (something we couldn't have foreseen before removing the existing tiles), the price remained the same for the job. He and a colleague worked hard for three days (one more than initially planned) through pretty grim weather. With anything unexpected, he came to me with solutions rather than problems. They were polite, courteous, and left the site as tidy as they could after cutting roof tiles in the driving rain!
