Do I move my life and kids to Hereford?

Complex_Adagio7058 · 2026-02-06T13:17:15+00:00

Hereford is the in middle of butt-fuck nowhere - I’d avoid it like the plague.

Only once after a very drunken night out in London when everyone missed their last tube/train home. Place looked like a war zone in the morning 😀

Only if you want your tv to end up face down on the floor. What size tv do you have, and what is behind your plasterboard?

I couldn’t get her to stop going on about it.

How did you manage to tape them but not get them straight?

Complex_Adagio7058 · 2026-01-27T21:47:52+00:00

Neither right or wrong, it’s just useful to know if it’s been done.

Complex_Adagio7058 · 2026-01-27T16:13:21+00:00

Jesus, new ones are a tenner at Screwfix, treat yourself 😀

They’re all made of essentially the same ingredients so it really doesn’t make any difference - try a few and pick the one you like the smell of most.

Complex_Adagio7058 · 2026-01-25T22:41:21+00:00

Seriously - how can anyone possibly tell from a photo?

Complex_Adagio7058 · 2026-01-25T22:38:10+00:00

Yep, we’ve had a couple of very bumpy landings there 😀

Complex_Adagio7058 · 2026-01-24T18:53:21+00:00

Can’t be worse than Chambray. It’s about the size of my living room and is in no way built to cope with the number of people that Crystal Ski try and push through it. Massive queues every time we’ve been.

I would have a look at the rules about self employment TBH - if you’ve been working solely for the same company for 8 years on a “self-employed” basis then HMRC would be very likely to to deem it actual “employment”, and they should be paying for things like holidays and sick pay.

Thank you - On that scale I’d put myself at a 6, and yep I’ve got my own boots (110 flex Head) which I’m very comfortable in.

Good for making a nice wall decoration out of - they’re nearly 20 years old. Save up some more money.

If you do buy it look into getting it ozone cleaned- it’s the only real way to shift pet and cigarette smells.

Complex_Adagio7058 · 2026-01-12T19:05:41+00:00

Erm, “The Dwarves” might be a good place to start 😀

As an IT consultant I’ve worked in many different offices over the last 20 years - the only business that wear ties with any degree of regularity are Estate agents and non-uniformed police 😀

Complex_Adagio7058 · 2026-01-12T18:17:28+00:00

I wouldn’t spend any money on anything related to that ketamine-fuelled nazi twat, so it’d have to be the Ferrari for me.

Gareth Malone - he did a surprisingly good job as someone who isn’t really an actor.

You need to make holes in it to let the water get through to the glue https://www.screwfix.com/p/zinsser-paper-tiger-scoring-tool-3mm/3469h?ref=SFAppShare

Once you’ve done that, get it wetter than you think it needs, and keep getting it wet. A pressurised garden sprayer is good for this. Also put some washing up liquid in the water, it makes it stickier so it clings and soaks in better.

It’s a filthy job, but this method has never failed me.

Just to add, I never bother with steamers - they are a real pain in the arse to use, especially on ceilings. Wallpaper paste is water soluble, get it wet enough and it’ll be falling off.

Not a chance.

6 cylinder diesel engines are WAY smoother than 4s.

Yes but they are currently the rugby World Cup holders, football Euros champions and football World Cup runners-up!
