  1. It IS a rock; that's the problem...* *I know it isn't necessarily
  2. Isn't that a bolt further back by the red painted steel? Really difficult to tell without seeing it, but I'd not condemn it from what we've seen so far.
  3. I took it to be ali plate.
  4. Nah, it looks a kosher bracket to me. The only caveats is that from the pic I can't see how the tube is held up in the top plate, or what the Unistrut is supported on.
  5. The best bits of my science block were built in 1905. We're really comparing knackered old* buildings, and new shiny ones. *Not even that old in many cases.
  6. Improve learning? Maybe not, but cheaper to heat, easier to maintain, better circulation, more comfortable - these are all possible, but, I accept, not guaranteed.
  7. If you can buy 2nd hand, have a browse at the BB List. Lots of proper kit. You might want to sit down when you see some of the prices.
  8. L shape would need risk-assessing. It would mean only one exit if/when the experiment goes critical... We've gone for ducts in concrete floors, which fortunately, we don't have many of. Traditional wooden floors mostly, with skill/luck you can fish cables through the voids without lifting the boards.
  9. Obviously, a pupil should be able to email their teacher. Can 365 cope with allowing pupils to ONLY email THEIR teachers? Block mass emailing too.
  10. And then you remember that your handle from 2003 was DenverCoder9...
  11. I'm with Wiser too. Chose it because a) Geofencing wasn't going to work for us, so why spend money on it? and b) TRVs were a LOT cheaper than the other brands. It is capable of controlling OpenTherm boilers, but my boiler isn't. This would moderate flow temperatures to avoid over-heating and hysteresis issues. Got a couple of "Smart Plugs" too - schedule, or manual control of the electric blankets - nice warm bed to get into. Please with it overall, the interface can be a bit laggy. There is a way, difficult to repeat, of setting a room accidently at 30+
  12. The kids wear boxing gloves for all computer lessons?
  13. I'll always remember listening to her 70's request show. Sunday nights, medium wave (with lots of interference). Especially the request by two girls who had met 5(?) blokes on holiday in Cornwall. The song requested was Nazareth's rendition of "Love Hurts". I wonder what the meaning they were going for was?
  14. The **** Party Manife 1984. Re-reading it as I got "Julia" for christmas and want to remind myself of the detail. Yes, it is STILL depressing.
  15. Can you re-programme it to open "Bard"?
  16. That pic has been around longer than AI. MUST show it to the daughters - I've no desire for grand-brats.
  17. We're about the same - trouble is, I'm not really into films...
  18. Your annual public service announcement... This year it is techy/roboty films. Should go down well here!
  19. We seem to be feeding more than just hogs... Yeah, I know the date is wrong!
  20. Have you been following? Top right location showing the road - where is that camera? I think it has been turned, or might be a new view.
  21. This has stopped the stairwell getting so cold.
  22. And I'm reading it again (again). It really does grow on you...
  23. I can see "no ear rings", and "long hair tied back" type rules. Definitely in practical subjects & PE. Boys & girls!
  24. I'm not entirely against uniform, but certainly against the excesses. MrsC worked at a school where the girls skirts were wool, dry-clean only, and >£80. Loathed mine at school, especially the tie. What a ******* anachronism!
  25. Off - MrsC has only just stopped opening a window at night. I'm going to be looking at the location of the sensor over the W/E. It is currently in an unheated room which has the door closed (MissC at Uni).
