Free Falling Foxes

Mouse tidy-ups mans shed.

No definite solution I'm afraid but recall my dad always telling me to check around the fireplace whenever we were buying an house. I assume it is because of the lack of damp proofing/membranes and/or because of damage by heat to them over the years. We have lived in 3 houses now and each one has had damp or dampness in that area. Is there anyway to improve ventilation in that area? In our current house I put in an airbrick in the affected wall and it did the trick. This is especially important in a blocked off former fire place, even with a capped chimney. Any dampness will manifest itself at the lowest point in that case. Also, if it is on an outside wall, is it clear on both sides of any clutter?

Over on the BBC Sport website, they have a 'Have Your Say' after match reports. Curiously, this option wasn't available for the Brum match today. I'm sure their supporters would certainly have lots to say.

It seems most drivers are struggling with this still. Women pulled out from a cafe driveway, turned in our direction and seemed most upset we were already crossing the road.

Be ironic if they were all collectively crushed to death by a falling yew tree.

Anyone who has used one of these and got a splinter from it, will confirm they are the biggest pita. A glass fibre stuck in your finger is tiny, virtually invisible and causes max discomfort.

Not a good idea if you are carrying out a bit of coitus at the time though

I remember a few years ago after an heavy fall of snow, Radio Leicester were interviewing people sledging in Bradgate Park. One guy who had traveled from Syston, said he took the day off work because of the dangerous road conditions. The reporter couldn't resist asking him how he got to the park.

Ahh yes, but....... ....at 85 minutes

Well, there's two folk who put the TV into standby instead of switching off. I guarantee that no spook will be able to turn your TV on if it is truly off.

Does it do it on all channels and/or inputs? Check all input leads, even the mains plug. Doesn't seem like possible interference from LED Christmas lights but to be sure, turn them off. Ask neighbours to switch theirs off too.

Anyone have any idea how long the KP stadium tour takes? ....and no, I wouldn't leave after 80 mins.

Wrong thread

Me too. Mind you, not looking forward to VAR again. Virtually everytime I catch MOTD, they are discussing a VAR incident.

I went see Wilko Johnson's band 10 or so years ago in Leicester. His tour had been very well attended until that night; there was only around 25 folk there. They put on a great show still.

I guess the RNLI and organisations like mountain rescue, are unique in-so-far they are largly staffed by volunteers. I gave the post a thumbs up but would, equally, give all emergency services a massive thanks 24/7, 365 days/year.
