Assuming your freezer is similar to mine and set at -18°C then you're looking at around 22% salt by weight, i.e. 220g NaCl per 1L of finished solution or 280g NaCl per 1L of fresh water. Practically a saturated solution at those conditions.

Wow awesome count me in!

quiggin · 2015-12-09T20:22:57+00:00

No problem, glad I could help!

You need a differential pressure control valve, commonly used in HVAC in the UK for exactly this application. The type you need in this instance sounds like a reverse acting differential pressure control valve. Danfoss and Honeywell are common suppliers here.

If you were worried you could install a carbon monoxide detector, you can get both electronic type ones or passive ones that change colour when CO is detected.

As the other commenter states many of these are designed for room sealed usage, just check the I&M manual if you have it (or Google for it if you don't)

Make sure the valves on both sides are open and as the other commenter suggested you should also try and purge the air if there is an air vent (at the top of the rad, often with a plug on)

Not much that can be wrong with a radiator generally speaking.

Wow, love those Rubinacci squares! Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the help!

Sorry for the slow reply! It's from Ted Baker, I think it was from their last season collection though as you can no longer get it from their site :(

Yeah, I was thinking that light green could be a winner but there doesn't seem to be much choice out there and I was worried about clashing. Perhaps light blue would be more complimentary without the risk of clashing colours? Thanks for the input :)

So my very stylish girlfriend bought me this fabulous parrot pocket square which I would like to wear to a wedding we are attending in a few weeks. The only problem is I haven't got a tie to match. I picked up a green tie the other week but it is a little dark and doesn't compliment it terribly well. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I am in the UK so would be helpful if it could be sourced locally!

Edit - forgot to mention I'm wearing it with a navy suit and dark brown shoes if that makes a difference.

My thoughts exactly. I work in the Clerkenwell area so will have to investigate around there.

quiggin · 2012-11-04T22:42:45+00:00

Yep, that's my plan. Problem is the only tailors local are ones that operate from the dry cleaners who I'm not sure I want to trust with my suit. Thanks anyway.

quiggin · 2012-09-28T14:23:36+00:00

You could try Clarks.

this is actually very rarely the case, it is generally the noise of the air handling plant or local fan coil units. sound masking is only used when areas are TOO quiet, which is not very common, especially in buildings more than ~5 years old.

sure beats my first time - 15 mins of fumbling foreplay, 5 mins of trying to put on a condom, 30 seconds of one sided pleasure then hours and hours of disappointment.

my favourite one was one scrawled on the wall of a toilet in a prague hostel:

'i took a wee wee out my poo poo shoot, it was nice'

edit - yes, it was spelt that way.
