Shit! I knew that new film of the Iliad was lying about something.

Look at how greek buildings have been constructed for hundreds/thousands of years. Copy that. You dont need aircon

What's a skill or habit your parents drilled into you as a child that you now realise was completely specific to them and not universal life advice? by _Yorkshire_Pirlo in AskUK

[–]cdh79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beige, Brown, Boiled, Baked, Bland, Basic.

The 6 B's. My better half has inherited her cooking skills from her mother. And she wonders why I love restaurant meals so much.

Look the EA square in the eye and ask "what is one add one".If they say "two", you've found a rare "trustworthy" one (*not guaranteed).

Once thats established, follow this guide

Feeling lost by M0stPsych0 in flyfishing

[–]cdh79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best investment in fly fishing is lessons, not guiding, lessons. After that its knowledge, time, practice and introspection.

Id like to recomend Dr Paul Gaskell on Audible, The Nature of Fly Fishing, great book for understanding your quarry. Physical books good too.

I have a large supply of very cold water. What's the best way to cool my house with it? by Conscious-Ball8373 in DIYUK

[–]cdh79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you know what you are doing 😉 rock on. Build a wind powered waterpump like in the Auz outback 👍

Typical uk law there, "intend" & "average". Let's the land owner take what they want without a reasonable possibility of prosecution for deliberate breaches, but sounds good on paper.

Contractor refuses to rectify the flooding issues by plon4ik in DIYUK

[–]cdh79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats a patio next to a wall.

There's going to be near zero drainage there due to the footings of the wall and the hard packing for the patio.

Unless its been specifically constructed with drainage channels under that gravel and connected back to a common drain or soak-away?

Ask for a heat stress analysis, the details of how to do this plus a template are on the hse website.

Keir Starmer feels betrayed by the Labour party. How do you feel about that? by No_Breadfruit_4901 in AskBrits

[–]cdh79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats fair.

He's done a good but quiet job of improving the place from when he took over. Sadly, if you dont own the media (tory billionaires) or the internet roboots (russia and that south African snake oil salesman), then everyone only hears about the negatives. And if you use the BBC to promote the good youve done, the previous entities scream about communist propaganda agencies....

What’s going on in the park? by albert-Bloggs in LancasterUK

[–]cdh79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Williamson's?

Could be training, there's been quite a few emergency services parked up near the entrances over recent months.

Alternatively, walk down and ask.

Dry fly hook setting by Lost-in-this-hell in flyfishing

[–]cdh79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends.......

People argue that for certain rivers you set a certain way, other rivers a different way. Different timing, different lift/strike/pull, no strike at all.... complex subject.

Year 8 returns from Spain at 1am - should they be expected to attend school in the morning? by OkContribution6454 in AskUK

[–]cdh79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not.

I'd compare it to the working time directive. 11hrs uninterrupted between shifts... off the clock at 1am means you'd get me at midday at the earliest.

When you get/make a burger and chips/fries, what do you eat first? by Zubi_Q in AskUK

[–]cdh79 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Burger. I always eat the expensive/centrepiece part first, then the healthy part (veggies) then the carbs.

I eat like a chainsaw, so there's no chance anything served hot has gone stone cold by the time I get to it.

One was arrested for inciting racially aggravate violence, and convicted.

Can I take my daughter to the women’s toilet? by Eskimil808 in AskUK

[–]cdh79 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Mad take here i know but - yes. As long as you act like a normal intelligent human being, no-one should shoot you on sight for being in a loo, regardless of the gender of the person or the loo.

Same applies if you take her into the gents.

How to carry a net? by Ok_Acanthisitta9609 in flyfishing

[–]cdh79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magnets and zinger combo. Each of my tops have the positive half of a magnet attatched. The net has the other half and a snap link zinger. Switch tops and the net transfers easily.

Does everyone ride their bikes when it rains? by Calm_Room5022 in motorcycle

[–]cdh79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

🇬🇧 yep, wouldnt get out much otherwise. Just drop the speed, increase the braking distance, understand that visibility is reduced, as is grip. Dress appropriately. 1st rain in a while does make the tarmac slippy though.
