The Jungle grill used to be the Camberwell Grill bitd. I ate most of my lunches there while on Foundation at Camberwell School of Art.
Double egg cheese burger and chips.

This was how all the caffs used to do tea.
Proper tea (is theft).

Sounds like your lucky night.
😋

Jesus.
I never got the wood for finishing my iroko deck but I got a few quotes. I guess they’re all obsolete now.

Something like that might be perfect.

I live in Lewisham though.

Almost as long ago I was helping build stuff on a hippy farm in New Hampshire and we clad one building in wood from a salvaged grain silo. The windows were all random salvage too. It ended up looking mint - rustic Bauhaus.

Thanks.
Do you have a species recommendation.
Oak, ash, chestnut, ?

I thought there’d be loads of ash about.

😭

Maybe just cheap then.

I have access to proper workshop equipment, so I can re-saw stuff - but my experience of buying is all for making fine joinery and cabinets.
I was imagining something agricultural/traditional.

While on the subject of gardens ...
I want to build a trellis and a horizontal slatted fence - probably of varying widths and frequency of slats.

Any recommends for sawn British hardwood at cheap cheap prices?
I want the end result to not look to clean/designed - but a sort of rustic minimalist look. I was thinking some waney edge stuff from an actual saw mill maybe.

Ah.
Didn’t realise that.
That probably isn’t going to work in this case as the butt is a fair distance from the down pipe, I’ll have to extend the filler pipe.
I might have to fit a separate overflow.

It’s actually my back neighbours’ roof - I’m using ‘their’ water with permission.

But point taken.

I’ve got a really big butt.

😉

Water butts.

They’re usually set up with a diverter pipe from a down pipe.
Any reason why I can’t put the whole down pipe in?
Catchment area is a flat roof approx 8m2.

I guess it will overflow?

drinking in the Warwick

I used to play pool in there occasionally mid/late 80s.
A friend’s dad made good and they moved from Se14 to Kensington Pk. Rd.
There used to be 2 pool tables - one for money games - I played on the other.
Old Jamaicans playing with short cues from the hip. Deadly.

First pub to have CCTV all the way back then because of all the dealing going on. (Citation needed)

While we’re on the subject of boiling water ...
Anyone have favourable experience of knock off Quookers?
Having used them in the houses of ‘posh’ clients, I’ve desired one for years, but I can’t afford one.
Marginally more efficient than a kettle (especially in my house where it gets used all the time).
But really it’s all about the convenience- isn’t everything?

unacceptable as having 3 pints at lunchtime.

🤔
Since when?

Make sure you get a good plumber to do the install

Yup.
Insist new pipe work is pressure tested - and left at pressure overnight or longer.

You’ve ordered already, but why not just make a couple of these?

it's nearly impossible to get a convict of a police officer in this country for a death in custody.

I just did a little bit of reading. Apparently it’s been 40 years since a conviction.
Ffs!

In some reports I read during the trial he was referred to as an Ex Police Officer.
Which seemed rather disingenuous as he was removed from the force to stand trial for a fucking murder committed whilst he was on duty.

I can’t remember the last time a UK policeman was convicted of manslaughter - although there have been many deaths in custody.

The police really need to work on their clearance rates.
😒

I’m never happy when a jury is offered the option of a ‘compromise’ conviction

Do you mean that the charge of murder was withdrawn for the lesser charge of manslaughter?

No sausages though.

Not the United Kingdom (of GB&NI) I notice.

No song for the Northern Irish.

I’ve wrapped a blade in gaffer in the past to make a shank saw.

I have a pistol grip Stanley handle a bit like this one, I almost never need it, but when I do...

Sometimes it’s best to mount the blade backwards and cut on the pull stroke (like a Japanese saw) to stop the blade folding up.

How many screws do you need to cut?
Agree with Airhead - go as slow as possible, it’s the build up of heat that kills the blades. Cutting/drilling faster doesn’t cut the steel any quicker - the opposite in fact.
If there’s any way to get coolant in there (just water will help) that will make a difference- or stopping and quenching the blade.
I have a big reciprocating saw that will cut through screws with a bi-metal blade, but sometimes a hacksaw works best.
