Nice People Thread Part 9 - and so it continues

Back now from watching Chris Packham and Co on Autumnwatch. I don't know his era of music, Clash, the Cure etc, to know if he dropped any song titles into the conversations though I did manage to suggest to DH that the eels were all going on a Summer Holiday.

Really pleased to see NDG posting again. I have no direct experience of that kind of thing to relate but definitely it was the right thing to do to adjourn Court hearing.

BTW, has anyone got a link to the televised Appeal Court? I looked for it today but couldn't find it anywhere on gov.uk.

The mushroom thing is intriguing, I do like them but wouldn't mind if I never ate another one.

No link to anyone Jewish nor to Herts, don't like spreadsheets though have used them and I do like mushrooms. Anything else, please ask.

I would.

I am probably going to do the fodmap food plan soon and its very depressing. Particularly as loads on the allowed list I also know I cannot eat ATM or have been advised not to. :rotfl:

I think it leaves me water, fake milk, maple syrup, noodles, potatoes, sweet potatoes and celery:rotfl:

Oh dear. . I suppose you have radios on and stuff? Have you tried the dog version of feliway ( I cannot remember name:o). Vet should also prescribe something to help. The thing is she'll remain stressed even after fireworks, if they are over a number if days she might not relax for a while....

I have googled and will purchase!

I'd like one for me too today. I don't wee on the floor, just in case anyone was wondering.

Doesn't sound very appetising at all.

These of the conversations we have had with the experts. I know we need the hearth to be in pieces, but they keep telling me I have to have black granite pieces rather than any other colour.

I saw a slate one, the problem is any mark is going to show up and slate gets scuffed very easily.

You can get slate from these people: http://www.creativefireplaces.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=slate

I love this thread. LiR inspired me to get our woodburner repaired, and I would like a slate hearth. I would like a rough hewn welsh slate (DH is half welsh).

The ones on the website reminded me of the memorial stone we have on my mum and dad's grave. I don't think I could live with it.

I'm afraid I lived with a woodburner for years and would never dream of having another so am with LIR on this one.

You're right about it marking. When we had one, I used to spary it with nice smelling oil for a shine and so it smelled nice when we were burning. I did find one in the end from a company that just does slate, but thank you :A

Don't do gas. Once you've had a real fire, they're a real let down. I'd rather compromise and have a different style.

Maybe an inset stove for something funky that no one else has? I like the 5660. It will still need a hearth - they photograph without, but building regs... You can have a hearth that isn't in pieces, I think.

Or Morso also do a freestanding woodburner that fits in the space of a modern house chimney breast. I'm struggling to find a link.

Aw, don't be harsh. I think there's one half decent meal in there :eek:

Have to say the clearview is working better now, but I wouldn't buy one my self. We'll restore that fireplace to a fireplace one day. But four open fires is enough in a house I think, one doesn't want to be tending to fires like a scullery maid more than necessary, and woodburners are at least easier to leave unattended. The clear view one day can go out in one of the other buildings I guess.
