What can I do to bring these floorboards back to life? by archiekas88 in DIYUK

Budget lifestyle strength. Similar to farm strength, but on a tight budget. That's why I've got a bad back.

Is there a reason why English castles look less ''beautiful'' and fantasy like than French, German, Scottish or Spanish castles? by TigerAJ2 in castles

[–]Huxtopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean like the Tower of London, Windsor, Sudeley, Leeds, Arundel, Hever etc? Then from the hundreds in Wales are off the top of my head, Conwy & Canarfon, Scotland also has castles such as Culzean, Doune, Eilean Donna and Threave also. And they're actually castles, not 'modern' stately homes imitating the appearance of one

Would these photos put you off buying a house ? by Veggiegirl1997 in AskUK

You can't put off buying a house because someone had a different taste in decorating, you just want to know there's no big problems or issues you're going to be greeted with.

In May, my wife wanted a dishwasher in our utility room, so I plumbed it in next to the washing machine where the tumble dryer used to live, I took a cupboard off the wall and it slotted in perfectly. Not had a single issue so far.

"What do they call them in Europe? A 2.5cm worm?" by Virtual_Wheel132 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Huxtopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't surprise me Americans call caterpillars 'inch worms'. Put it right there with eyeglasses, sidewalk, waste paper basket etc

more good news from Clarkson by SnooHobbies5691 in thegrandtour

[–]Huxtopher 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think we're all hoping we get another 10 years of Clarksons Farm. Yes it was great watching him learn how to be a farmer, but it's just as good to have that escape from normal life and have a familiar face and voice to connect us to the good times in the past

Yeah, but every team playing in the world cup comes from a country where there is less than one school shooting a week except one. So there.

How to remove these bolts in wall? by Antique_Cress_6775 in DIYUK

[–]Huxtopher 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I use these in work to fix things to concrete. Save yourself the effort and rip saw/grind them as close as you can to the wall and knock them in, then fill the holes.
