    M25 blocking

    Well there's no way I can afford what I'm being quoted for insulation so that might have to be the plan! Probably better anyway as it will be external insulation and therefore it will have to be rendered. No point doing that first then have the windows changed and risk them messing up the render.

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    I've downloaded the first 4 episodes of the US version of Ghosts. Not watched them yet but the reviews are far better than I expected. Apparently the first two are basically copies of the UK version but episode 3 is an original.

    Budget was a bit of a non-event. Followed the template, lots of bluster, re-annoucements and shifting targets. Oddly given what's happening at the moment not one mention of climate. Credit where its due. Milliband and Reeves have both done a good job today. Although not sure things being...

    I must be slow getting out the ground, had no idea they closed the road off. How do people get out of the car park?

    Good start to the budget, a bollocking for Sunak for most of the budget being leaked in advance.

    Who did you use? I thought the first quote was expensive so got two more and they were the same! Getting rid of the shitty pebble dashing would be a nice bonus on top of not freezing.

    We're so lucky that the country is in such a good position with no problems at all that PMQs can consist of questions about cheese toasties and songs for children.

    Bangladesh doing better than the Windies but this should be a quick and easy win for England.

    Blues...off the pitch

    We've got a not insignificant section of our support who love to constantly talk about impending trouble. How many times did we hear of impending 'carnage at New Street' when going to our games at St Andrews and how many times was there any actual trouble? Problem is there's the danger that it...

    I've had three quotes, all roughly the same. Because there's no cavity to fill its either internal insulation, which makes all the rooms smaller, or external. There's then the added bonus that part of the external walls are pebbledash which is seems to be a pain to insulate over and therefore...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Also worth checking with your own doctor. I got jab one and two from my GP and had a call from them to book in jab three. My Dad had his first two at his GP, different surgery to me, and again got the call direct from them. My Mum had hers at Stoneleigh which is now closed, not sure if that's...

    Having just had some quotes done to insulate my not particularly big house I'm starting to think these protesters have a point that it needs government funding. Older house without cavity walls, apparently a common issue in this part of Cov, looking at £7K+ to insulate a 2 bed terrace :eek...

    Seem to remember there wasn't a lot of moderation on the clubs forum with predictable results. Don't remember the CT forum but do remember a lot of, non-offensive, comments mysteriously disappearing off stories about the club on their main site. Then when people started pointing out what was...

    Wasn't there a forum on the clubs website back in the day? There was also Rory's email list before forums were a thing. Still get an occasional email from that when someone remembers it exists.

    Not great to see so many MPs using the murder of a colleague as an excuse not to be answerable to the electorate. Seen numerous examples of people being blocked by their MP for politely asking why they voted the way they did.

    Looks like something has been changed so hopefully they will hear soon. My parents were waiting and getting concerned they kept being told it wasn't available for them yet despite being past 6 months after their 2nd jabs. Both have now been booked in for this week but only got the call...

    This morning Cricket SA announced that all players will take the knee, previously their players were doing a mix of taking the knee and raised fist, with one player noticeable doing neither. Now they've announced the team for todays game and Quinton de Kock is out, 'Quinton de Kock has made...
