He should think about acting as an alternative career.

Unfortunately is was his show biz career that really launched the mo fo.

I still blame Hislop.

Bullying is about power dynamics.
You can call it something else but it will remain what it is.

My son has been ‘bullied’ at school for years (he’s changing school this September - hooray!) but he’s refused to be cowed by the other boy and his sidekicks and still gives it back to him. This made the school slow to see the dynamic for what it is, but it has also meant my son has maintained some self respect - a tricky thing to do in that situation.

The important thing is to change our attitude towards people who are domineering arseholes, after all, they’re the problem.

🤷🏻‍♂️

Then those teachers, managers have lost their power and authority. Surely?
The stronger abusing the weaker is the accepted use of the word, isn’t it?

Damning with faint praise.

Brockley is actually very far from shitty, a bit too far if you ask me.
It used to be a shithole but the gentrifiers and the Overground have transformed it.

Duke’s Cars lives on in our hearts though.

I don’t know either.
I think the fact that her parents and I’m assuming other members of her family were immigrants to this country does put her heartlessness toward people currently in the same position in a fairly bad light, but that’s not the same as a racial prejudice.

Did people especially hate Thatcher because she was a woman?
I don’t remember it that way.
“If we all spit together we can drown the bitch” may have a degree of misogyny in it, but the hatred was heartfelt.

I will never forgive her.

You can’t bully someone who is in a position of power and authority over you.
Speaking truth (or just being insulting) to power ≠ bullying

PC. Benjamin Monk. Found to have committed gross misconduct by a police disciplinary hearing, kept on the force and issued a stun gun.
Before becoming a policeman he’d been given criminal cautions for drunkenness and theft.

‘Sake.
911 is a joke in yo town.

Strangely (considering the circles I move in) I know someone who was at Eton with Johnson.
He said he was absolute cunt.
So there’s that.

He is known to be very clever and totally lacking a moral centre.

Oh yeah, I forgot the massive hole.
😖

You could dot and dab the plaster board straight on the wall

This is what I’d recommend.
Or you could teach yourself how to render a wall
🙂

Fair enough.
It’s quite an operation tbh. Nothing a decent builder can’t get done in a day or two though.
Wall will need supporting- possibly inside and out with needles & acrows maybe just outside with Strongboys.
Catnic make all types of steel lintels but ime the term is used as a generic for a lintel with a ledge to support bricks in cavity wall construction.

Gove is the worst of the lot

It’s hard to pick one, but yes, there’s something totally odious about him.
He reeks.

Yeah.
The way DA gets targeted is racism and misogyny, the reason it happens is her politics.
Separating out the racism/misogyny from hatred of lefty politics is probably impossible.
But the racist dog whistle shit gets the twats riled up.

This is always the problem for politicians on the left, because they propound progressive politics they get castigated for any hypocrisy.
Politicians on the right are free to be cunts.
It’s what is expected and accepted. Obviously supported by the RW press.
Ultimately they’re all still politicians- hard to find any that aren’t narcissistic liars.

You can certainly move the lintel up by enough to get good head clearance, a Catnic (other brands are available) will allow you to have a soldier course above opening.
You’ll need to get proper specs for load etc.
Would you do the work yourself?

How much height is there to the ceiling? Which way do the joists above run?

Were the original windows a wooden bay? As TW says it’s very possible a new lintel was fitted when those were changed to UPVC

I know it's (all?) snides

Not necessarily, I searched everywhere for a tap and die in an obsolete pre ISO French metric size.
Found it on AliExpress delivered for about £17, came from Taiwan, quality is excellent.

Amazingly she carries on.

I think this succinct summary is sadly entirely true.

Perfect response.

Exactly.

Got into Cambridge (her dad was a welder and mum a nurse - both left school at 14)
First black woman MP
Longest serving black MP

Absolutely.
He built at Gillotts.
He was one of the best London builders equal to Ron Cooper -

I have always had a soft spot for the fillet brazed frames he made under his own name, all the ones I’ve seen pics of are in that blue too. One sold recently on eBay for a pittance.
Crazy.

Infuriating.

When my £500 Siemens washing machine needed new bearings within 5yr warranty, the engineer ordered me another ‘it’s cheaper to supply a new one than for my time to replace the bearings’

Crazy modern life.

Serious lug filing going on there.
I prefer his fillet brazed frames though 🥰
