just read the news about the Boris Bridge (courtesy of the Mash) Bridge to link France with airport on artificial island in the Thames 19-01-18 BORIS Johnson has unveiled plans to build a 140 mile bridge that will link Calais, central London and a new airport on a man-made island in the Thames estuary. The foreign secretary said the Rudyard Kipling Bridge, which will tower magnificently over the Kent countryside, would cost no more than £580bn and be the ‘envy of the world’. Johnson added: “At its highest point the Kipling Bridge will be 1000m tall, forming a triumphant concrete arch over central London and offering fantastic views of our cherished financial services industry. “There will be massive, spiralling ramps coming off the bridge straight into Charing Cross so that French people in their dreadful cars can drive from Paris to central London without any traffic lights. “When it reaches the Emirates Stadium, the bridge will make a sharp right turn and continue across north London and the southern reaches of Essex before arriving at the Paul Dacre International Airport on a giant island made of recycled plastic bags.” Johnson said the project would be funded through a PFI contract run by Carillion and Woolworth
I’ve just finished the first pass at packing for my snowboard holiday next weekend. From experience I’ve got another two re-packs to do before I get it right
Threw te cover off, went to seen show Cookster but unfortunately he had to do some work so took the chance to head to Tewkesbury Porsche to check out spare key cost and PCM issue. What a helpful bunch! And the temp gauge failed on the way home. The joy of a 20yr old car
Had to apply new roofing felt to a shed after the gales a couple of nights ago stripped off what was on there. We have dire warnings of a biblical deluge and high winds here tomorrow so had to get it finished it the misty rain we currently have. Sausage toad and a beer for lunch as a treat though. Andy
Looks like everyone doing home maintenance today, I've just had the plinth heater in bits, it is now working again, left the wife tidying up the mess. Steve
Cant beat the old boilers for maintenance, thermocouple it just about the only thing to go wrong. Steve
Yep all the usual suspects checked. Luckily I have a number of spares to go through. I'll get it .... Eventually
Have to agree there Steve. these balance flue condensing boilers are all well and good until there not playing. I have a potterton floor standing boiler that just goes on and on for years... Bit like our forum friend Finm!
Must be the time of year. Just ordered high limit th/state and couple of thermistors to hopefully get my boiler to supply hot water for more than 60 seconds. Fingers crossed one of the three will sort it or probably look at new boiler.
Boiler works fine just w4nkers at Certas Energy still not delivered and best customer services can do is send an email Refused to call depot manager as might not be working today and doesn’t want to disturb him Tossers
Got a detailer coming tomorrow have a look at my paint and talked to an auto electrician about my rear screen and installing a new sound system. Joys of old cars
