Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

really? my view is that it is every spectator's job to 'help' the referee, especially when the ref is a teacher who works for the opposition school.
surely it is much worse to shout things like (paraphrasing, of course) "don't worry about the ball, just get into them" at football matches contested by 7 year olds. or scream abuse at someone else's kid when they miss a penalty.0 -
I don't know - 150m2? The sort of built to look like its posh but isn't really standard that builders do.
They've actually put it online. You can play around with it a bit.

Main contractor, to a good standard in Greater London for a medium sized, two storey house comes up at £1241 per metre. Bog Standard house £1026. Bog standard house with a main contractor to build the shell and then subbies to do your internals is £975. So somewhere between £146k and £186k.
The price would include connecting up your services, which you will save on with an existing house, but it doesn't cost in demolishing the exisiting house. I think you could add £10k for that, on the balance.
150 metres isn't a five bed house to me though? Not worth knocking down a three bed for to rebuild.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

Oh, of course it's worse. Rugby's different though, isn't it? I haven't seen anything like that at all. We all clap when the opposition scores etc. H went and apologised to a ref after he'd called that a child was playing the ball on the floor. I couldn't fathom what was wrong with that, he was stood right in front of the action, but H was mortified. Which is interesting because he probably wasn't front of the ueue when the Big Man was handing out manners.
It'll be interesting to see whether the parents behave any differently when they switch to football in the new year. I hate football though.
I got ready, went to take doglet to H who said he was working and couldn't go. Turns out he did want to go after all and there's no one to pick up DD so I'm back home again for a bit. He'll be late for her parents evening now, I can almost guarantee.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

As they say, Football is a game for gentlemen played by thugs, and Rugby is a game for thugs played by gentlemen.
Basically you have to pretend to be public schoolboys, wear shirt and tie after the game and call the referee "Sir"'In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments - there are Consequences.'0 -
Good luck PN. Hope it went well! :beer:PasturesNew wrote: »Did that in the app form as there was a question/box about that ... and also in the interview.There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -
Yup; we all knew all these tables.Everybody "of a certain age" can just blurt out the right answer. We used to march round the classroom chanting our tables.
Good job an interviewer wasn't mean enough to ask "what's three-quarters of ninety?"
It's one of those questions that everyone thinks they should already know the answer but they don't really. Like "Who's the President of/What's the capital of Switzerland?"
