It turns out I know fuck all about central heating or radiators. Also turns out I don’t think my radiators have TRVs, just the manual “Set how much water flows thro’ this radiator” type. So, do those ever break? Because mine don’t seem to work at all. Yes, they do break, they have a life of about 18-20years before the expanding wax thing inside gives out and you have to take them off for the radiator to work. You can buy just the valve, I've had replaced all of them in the last 2 years in our 20 year old new build. I get this exact one www.screwfix.com/p/drayton-rt212-trv-sensing-head/569hgThank you! That’s really helpful and my job for tomorrow! Appreciate it! |

Unless you are both utterly beyond any sort of help, I would imagine Load needs cheese.* I say this as I had to quit dairy because it wrecks my skin, but cheese. CHEESE CHEEEEESSSEEEEEE GROMMIT *Maybe ice cream, I don't eat sweet food. Give me CHEESE |

I'm lactose intolerant but sometimes eat meals with huge amounts of diary and suffer afterwards. Which months or days of the week do you find the hardest to swallow Load? 😉 |

Danno lactose intolerance wrecks your guts not your face and it certainly hits me with anything dairy including cheese or ice cream.

I love cheese so much that my body probably only tolerates it begrudgingly. Milk and yoghurt do me in though.

My point remains valid though, there are some foods that one craves baaaaaadly when you swear off dairy for whatever reason, and mine is cheese. |

Also sign my petition to ban Aunt Alison for her posting crimes against food No problem. I love cheese and get the strongest possible. Trouble is not only am I lactose intolerant, I also get migraines from the stuff. However, it's worth it. |

Trouble is not only am I lactose intolerant, I also get migraines from the stuff. However, it's worth it. I bow to your willingness to succumb to the cheese. All I get is rosacea and acne, but that's enough to keep me away from it most of the time. Having manky stuff on your face is none too good for the already non-existent self confidence. One cheesy meal a month and I go ballistic with the cheeseboard at Xmas. It does the job |

Wash your hands after you touch your penis And ideally also before. |

Wash your hands after you touch your penis And ideally also before. In the Old Place it was quite revealing when a surprisingly high number of posters admitted to not washing their hands after the toilet. |

INTERESTING FACT: everyone is lactose intolerant. You start losing your ability to process lactose after you start weaning and the speed and severity which you lose it is based on genetics, so whole populations can be affected worse than others.
It’s why Italians have that ‘no cappuccinos after midday’ thing going on.

Also, while I’m here, I probably should learn how to do internet banking.

Is this a place I can ask actual proper real blokes how to do stuff?! I've got this huge clock (yes clock) for the recently re-decorated kitchen. It's 80cm in diameter and is 11 kg in weight. The wall it's going in to is a solid brick wall with a plaster covering. No fixture has come with it, just a generic leaflet which suggests for a non-cavity wall I need a shield anchor bolt to take the weight. Problem is the slot pictured is 4mm wide and the smallest available bolt appears to be M6. If anyone knows what the hell I'm supposed to do I'd appreciate it. I'm scared using an ordinary plastic rawl will see this crash to the floor ripping chunks of wall out.  |

We have a big one held up by the biggest screw I could find that fits the hole on the back and sheer willpower.

Also, while I’m here, I probably should learn how to do internet banking. Blimey... It's well worth doing, although varies from bank to bank in how unintuitive they are (HSBC seem to be aiming for some kind of user unfriendliness award every year) Couldn't imagine staying on top of my finances without it (personal account, joint account for savings and bills and then mortgage with three separate banks) |

You’d need an m2 bolt to fit that slot and I suspect even if you could get an anchored version it might still fail.
I don’t know if you get m bolts with smaller heads?
How deep is the slot?

The last picture I hung on one of our walls is currently being held up by a too small screw and a folded up paperclip.

Could use brackets underneath to support it, then all the screw needs to do is hold it against the wall |

Me too. Although I don't really have a say in the matter. The contents of my bank account gets transferred to Mrs Hermit on the first of the month leaving me just enough to cover the direct debits and a few quid so I don't have to ask for money to fill the car up etc. |
