    The commentator on Eurosport who isn't Sean Kelly really is a dickhead. He was so busy getting a hardon for Sagan in yellow that he didn't even notice Cav was in the race, and when it finally dawned on him his allegiances changed like lighting and he starts screaming and shitting himself! Is that actually a PAYE job that someone pays him a living wage for?

    Well there's never a direct correlation between size and cost. You want a fair bit of electrics included in your price, which is never going to be cheap if you don't want some joker doing it. Timber worktops round a Belfast sink are not a 5 minute job, there's a fair chunk of tiling to do, full plastering means several visits instead of one big hit and so on and so on.
    It all adds up. And if you want it done properly you've got to pay someone a proper rate - skilled craftsmen working for tea and biscuits and a pat on the head are hard to find.
    4k is unrealistic, the jump to 12 is daft. 7-9 for a good job at a good price from a skilled worker who earns a sensible SE England wage.

    Can't see any winners on this thread, so by process of elimination...

    Screw a larch dovetail to the wall, corresponding piece on the brass can then drop on to it.

    Janet Street Porter really is a noisy old windbag isn't she? Poor Normski.

    I hope something very unpleasant and permanent happens to her.

    If your contractor is thrown by a bit of close boarding I would reconsider letting them do anything to the top end of your house... not the most common roofing method but in no way unusual. Clay tiles presumably?

    Compulsory anything is problematic...
    I wonder if passing a standardised road cycling training course guaranteeing a significant reduction in car insurance premiums would help in some way?
    It's already recognised in insurance that regular cyclists make for safe drivers; if the passing of a test was seen as an accolade (like all that IAM bollocks) then all the macho right-hand-at-12 o'clock type drivers might start changing their ways...
    Or not.
