  1. I will be getting a proper fitter to do this job but I wanted a little advice first so I don't get conned.! We currently have a Freestanding Cooker connected to a 32 Amp Spur. The main oven on this has failed so we are going to replace this with a Eye level oven. As we are going to temporarily continue using the hob on the Freestanding unit what I need to know is:- Can I connect both the Freestanding cooker and the New Eye level oven to the same Spur.??? I need to know before I purchase the oven & unit to fit it in as if it needs a second spur I may need to rethink things.
  2. As per the thread. I have a small 30l lightly planted tank, in it i have:- 2 Amano Shrimp Few Assassin snails (2 adults and plenty of young). 6 Glowlight Tetra I am going to change this into a Fully Planted tank with a Slate Feature containing just Shrimp. The Assassin Snails will be both passed onto other tank users and also placed in my 300l Community Tank along with the Tetra. So i am Looking for some more shrimp (cherry's etc) Any Shrimp i get will be going into my Nursery Tank first and then on to the newly landscaped 30l tank. Also i am looking for plants for Ground cover and christmas moss (Or Similar) I am not wanting to Spend a lot of money on this as in the future i may end up changing to a 50l tank, so any suggestions and help is most appreciated.
  3. We have a problem, one of our neighbour’s own a cat, and for the past few years that we have lived here their cat seemed quite happy and content whenever we have seen it snoozing in the garden etc. In the past month the "owners" of this cat have suddenly abandoned this cat, e.g. denying food and shelter. This cat sits in the garden and pitifully cries with clear distress. This goes on morning noon and throughout the night. While we are aware of this during the night (and have had many sleepless nights which isn’t a problem as we own many animals) we are EXREMELY concerned for this cats welfare. Unfortunately the cat is quite timid and our garden is enclosed and we cannot access the cat directly. We have been able to provide a little dried food to try to ease its discomfort. We are aware (as animal lovers) that this may not seem like a good idea to some people, but when you see and hear a cat virtually screaming while looking at the windows of its owners house you have to try something. Please note these people are not the type you would approach directly, but we have contacted the RSPCA 2 weeks ago and they have basically ignored our plea for help, advising us "NOT" to feed the cat. We were considering trying to contact other organisations, can someone please advise as this is beyond CRUEL now. Please note this cat has had no shelter for at least 2 months in all weather. We will be unable to read any posts after around 10am today but would be greatful of help.
  4. Sorry just have to say, Humans are not Carnivores... We are Omnivores. Cats on the otherhand are Carnivores, they are designed to survive on primarily Meat/Meat based foods. There was a study recently that showed cats fed mainly Dried foods hunted more than cats fed Meat.....
  5. I personally think we ought to do some scientific tests. I will try tonight by releasing a Mouse and a Sprout in the room and see which the cats chase first. I am hoping for the cats to start dragging in 5lb of spuds and a head of lettuce, instead of the frogs, toads etc.
  6. Hi, I am starting a new Aquarium, i am wanting to have a planted Aquarium but i was wondering which Substrate would be best for the planting.
  7. Hi where can i get cheap/descent top soil from. I need around 2 tonne. It doesnt have to be screened as i will do that myself. Thanks in advance:)
  8. Hi, My wife's 11 week old kitten is a black long-haired Burmese cross with streaks of a caramel colour mixed in. Her name is "FUDGE"
  9. I agree with the first post, it is GREED. I cannot stand to see people being ripped off at this time of year. Take the Nintendo Wii. A Large Newsagents/Stationers in Meadowhall have had the Wii in stock on and off for the last couple of months. They have conatantly told people that they couldnt order them as it wasnt fair to others. They were having deliveries of around 35 a week, BUT !!! They were allowing employees to put them on one side when the delivery turned up. One delivery of 30 Wii arrived on a tuesday afternoon, there had been 5-10 people calling every hour to see if we had recieved the delivery. ONLY 6 WENT OUT ON SALE.... One lad over the course of a couple of weeks had around 10 Wii's. I know that some of those Wii's ended up on e-bay selling at around £500 each. :rant:
  10. I had a similar accident in June. I was travelling from Norton to then go down Chesterfield road, as i was exiting i was cut up by a 4x4, and then another car, who obviously thought that as the 4x4 had gone it was safe to do so, the car then hit my side door doing a Mass of damage. The drivers passenger then spent the next 30 mins Threatening me and saying that i was speeding and that i came from no-where... The police were called and agreed that as i was on the round-about i was in the right. I also had a witness thankfully who said that the other had not looked. This photo is obviously old, as the bushes on the bottom right of the pic havent been there for at least 6 months, also the Norton Pub, has been a different colour for at least a year. BTW 56cheffy, the other driver in my claim did not contact her insurance company at all, "BUT MINE DID IT FOR HER" This actually went against her, and within 2 months i had a letter telling me that her insurance had accepted liability. Good luck with it.
  11. Well i live in the woodseats area, and i am sick and tired of the "A******s" coming into the area in thier "Cars" to deal drugs through the windows to the local Chavs. We reported one lot to the police and they were sorted out after about 5 months, but all they have done is move to dealing in a different mannner. I personally think that all these kids shouldnt be allowed to travel on the bus after 6pm without an adult. Plus if they have ASBO's they should also be Tagged and given curfew. It was one of these little darlings, that earlier this year vandalised over 100 cars during a 2 week period, my wifes included. Woe betide the poor sod if she ever gets her hands on him.
  12. I agree loopylass. I am sick of the people setting them off all the time, i have a neighbour who decides to start his parties at around 10pm and then sits there all night setting off fireworks and throwing his empty lager bottles in the Greenbelt behind us, whilst playing LOUD music and shouting like drunken idiots do. I have two cats who have to be locked in at night and two kids who would like some sleep. Also how long will it be until we hear on the news about someone "Blowing Up" a post box or telephone box. The original tradition for fireworks night was to "Burn" an effigy of Guy Fawks (On november the 5th), then later on Fireworks were added. 90% of fireworks that you hear in the day and night are set of by Lowlife ASBO's who need to get a life (to quote newvanman) not the respectable people who are trying to live an honest and quiet life. I am sure that most of the people who thinks its ok would have something to say about it if one of their loved ones got injured. Also why now do people have to set them off at weddings, birthdays, Anniversarys & Newyears..... I thought we were in England / Great Britain, NOT China.
  13. Ronnie Biggs should rot in prison as for as i am concerned. He was only a "Hero" to neandathals and underworld thugs. He only came back to the country because his "SON" didnt want to have to look after him and didnt want what was left of the money to be wasted on Private Health Care.
  14. The problem in my opinion is that there is no respect for people these days. I am in my early thirties and i had a couple of years at school where there was the fear of Corporal punnishment. I was slippered a few times and i still remember why and that i had acted wrongly. Then by the time i was in secondary school, i was in classes of kids that were telling the teacher to F*** **F and all the teacher could do was, ask them to calm down. Kids then were starting to threaten school staff with the line. "I will say you have hit me!" Now instead of the kids Respecting the Teachers & Elders, its the older generation that fear the kids. In my Job in retail i have even heard kids say to their parents buy me this or i will phone child line / social services. That is why in my opinion that some people under the age of 35 have no respect for anyone but themselves. :rant:
  15. :rant::rant:You've Got to Laugh.........:rant: My Car went in for repair 3 weeks ago. (Due to an accident.) Today i have phoned them to find out when it will be repaired and i was told..... They Have LOST it.??? They sent it to a savillle Street Repair centre on Friday to have the electrics looked at, when the flooding started, they think they moved it somewhere safer? But at this moment they dont know where.????? Now my insurance company are saying that this is an act of god and i will have to pay for a rental car until they find it..... WHAT A LOAD OF TOSH......................................:
