    Glad you checked in mate, wanted to pick your brains. Is there a vent strip they make for behind corrugated metal sheets ? So, to try and be a bit clearer, where they terminate at the bottom is there a strip I can run along the wall before I fix them so that air can flow up behind ?

    Single story mate, pitched roof. Got her a wood burner for heating, will put a mains connecter for power on there same as for a caravan. The water I’ve not made my mind up, can do a couple of things really….run a supply, harvest to an IBC and then put one of those snazzy ceramic filters in with a pump. The second is probably the easiest…..or they do those big burco boiler looking filters now which you just fill, be more than enough for drinking etc. A few bits I haven’t got to in my head yet, just make it up as I go along really mate.

    Previous incarnation.
  7. So after a bit of a delay for one reason and another, back into the tiny home. Decided to take it off the mobile base and put it on a permanent base (mainly after that f***ing monster storm early this year !) So chipping away at it between one thing and another…..
  8. To be fair to Gnasher, he has consistently said that…..I didn’t always agree entirely, I thought we had to be all clever about it but I see now we may as well not bother, just be honest and f**k it.
  9. Yep, guilty !……led down the garden path again. Trying to be all clever and sensible, should know f***ing better but there you go.
  10. Absolutely fair opinion mate. However, there is a flip side to that….we are off the edge of the cliff already no matter what happens, may as well make a vote an honest one rather than kid ourselves on we have changed anything. Reform was always going to struggle to stay a peoples movement when it started worrying about what the media said about its candidates…..all this “vetting” nonsense ! You won’t find ordinary people without a past of some sort, period !…..but instead of saying “f**k off, we don’t give two shits about your games of childish nonsense” it caved right in…..and

    I’ve said for ages that an idea would be to do it like jury service, so many selected in each ward and then the public vote for whoever they want out of that lot. Paid at the same rate as their current job plus any additional exes or, if they don’t have a job, paid at the standard average rate plus exes.

    Reform are full of shit !……they have way too many of the people who promoted and believe in this nonsense in their ranks now. When you are binning Rupert Lowe to save Zia Yousef that tells you all you need to know about how patriotic Reform are !…….absolutely no different to any of the other traitors !

    Let’s put is this way, how many people do you talk to now that believes or respects one word that comes out of anyone in authority’s mouth ? I can genuinely say I don’t remember talking to a single persons since I don’t know when that isn’t at least a tiny bit getting the idea they have been f****d over. Imho, that’s a loss of control and order, I think the genie is out of the bottle and it’s not going back in……these things ain’t like a football match with kick off at 3pm on the whistle, historically every major social upheaval is a slow burner…..I don’t think we are waiting for it t
  14. 400,000 years of African development summed up in one picture !
  15. I thought that was a pretty shocking stat so I just looked it up and I’m sure you will correct me or give context, but it says that 20 to upwards of 50% of British peoples dna can be traced back to pre Christian times, so hardly wiped out surely ?

    Winston

    He had a very interesting life as a young man, and he was proper old money aristocracy…… Blenheim Palace is a testament to what we once were……
  17. I think everyone should know their history or at least give it the respect it deserves, but that’s obviously just my opinion. Again, jmho, but your history is who and what you are….. I understand there are people couldn’t give two fucks about it and they are perfectly entitled to feel that way…..each to their own.
  18. Interesting, replaced by who mate ?
  19. I’m starting to think it don’t matter, there are so many ex Tory’s joining Reform (the same people that thought getting the country to this point was ok !) that they aren’t worth a vote…..they ain’t different, they are the same ! f**k em ! Guess it will have to just keep getting worse and good !, the worse the better !

    Winston

    I think a way better thing is the fact he liked to lay bricks in his spare time and built a wall aeound his family home !
  21. Just browsing around, and yes I know it’s The Guardian !, but it’s interesting….. World’s oldest family tree revealed in 5,700-year-old Cotswolds tomb | Archaeology | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM DNA analysis of bodies in Hazleton North long cairn finds five generations of an extended family
  22. I wonder if they have managed to discover pre Christian Britains burials and map their dna ? Ive not looked it up so I genuinely don’t know.
  23. I like that mate, I won’t forget that one
  24. I believe there is something innate in people to feel a connection to their place and their history…..sounds a bit hokey, but maybe it’s a call from a cellular level ? I don’t know and I dont profess to…..but I believe it. I know some lads have lived abroad for many years, I have only lived outside my own country for 10 but I still see images of England on the telly and I still think “that’s home” and it’s moves me in some way. I have a distinct feeling that this where I live is not my land and can never be. Sounds a bit twee and maybe it can be solely attributed to social facto
  25. Was just about to say the same, folks are talking like “I’m English or Scottish or Welsh”…..if the results go back say, 1500 years then these nation states never existed….no nation state existed until about a thousand years ago. The Saxons for instance ranged from modern day Germany across to modern day France. A good book is “A brief History of The Anglo Saxons”…..very enlightening.
