Similar to a 2D fitting or some other hybrid of that.

[CHOPPER]

25 years ago I got told by a heating engineer to go for Worcester Bosch, so always gone with those, ours is about 7 years old now and never missed a beat. My stepdad has a Vaillant and that is brilliant, probably better than the Worcester Bosch, again no issues.

Thanks Rob. Hoping to nab a bargain in the black friday sales.

Is there anyway to search for a phrase in RAWK and it shows all occurrences in all threads?

more specifically

If I search in the Media and Arts board for say "full metal Jacket".  I want to see all mentions of it in the film thread but it only seems to show the latest occurrence

[rob1966]

I've just searched in the the media board only, putting it in quotes ie "full metal jacket" and got 5 pages of results going back to 2012

[Buck Pete]

All in the same thread Rob?

Misunderstood what you were trying to do. Cant work out how to search a single thread

I was told by a mate with a heating installation business that Worcester Bosch or Vaillant are the best (he thinks Ideal are shit). He also said that Gloworm are made by Vaillant with mostly the same components, just with fewer features (like fancy digital displays, etc) and a few hundred quid cheaper. British Gas have Gloworm as their preferred 'standard' brand.

Just had a new Vaillant boiler put in this month. No issues so far (and hopefully not for the remaining 9 years, 11 months of the warranty!).

It'll stop working 9 years, 11 months and 1 day from now

Yeah thats the thing

If your searching to read about a certain film then it would be nice to search the whole 'RAWK Film' thread etc

If it cant be done then so be it 

[GinKop]

Bought a new washing machine after the last one had lasted donkey's years. Are the newer ones much more efficient in that you have to be careful how you wash darks?

My blue-zip is starting to look decidedly purple.

Put a request in, that kind of thing shouldn't be that hard to do.

[Mumm-Ra]

OK Rawk, only you can help. I did my A-levels in 95. For history, we had these 3 volumes of textbooks about the Nazis. They were, if I remember rightly, just compilations of documents and letters from Nazi Germany. There was a red, white and black book. Anyone know what I'm talking about, and how they could be found today? They were fascinating (I am not a Nazi sympathiser btw).

Just moved into a new house and having carpets fitted tomorrow. The underlay looks good quality but has large patches where something must have spilled previously. Is it worth getting a new underlay fitted?

I would, you don't know what it is

Ugh I dread to think! House does feel a bit cold so think I'll get it done, hopefully makes a difference

Is there a specific reason why there's no LFC gear with just the Liverbird logo without the L.F.C. text?

There is some stuff.

Edit - in fact just had a look, there’s loads of stuff.

Give it a quick sniff and if it's not piss or vomit then save yourself a few bob.

Is there a way to search for posted messages within a thread?

For example, if I want to search for all posts I made within the "What car you drive" thread, would it be possible?

Not that I can see. Just tried a few google keyword searches and it doesn't show every individual post.

Search for "What Car Do You Own/Drive?"

I remember you telling me that the Mazda was really good and that it was your (or your dad's) 2nd or 3rd Mazda.

That played a significant role in my decision. A whole lotta thanks to you mate. Beers on me when we meet.

This were some of my other posts in the same thread.

Ordered a 2018 Mazda-3 5 door hatchback. Picking it up 21-22 or 25-26, depending on when I can take off.

Sports line variant. Dark blue colour. 2liter 120BHP Petrol Engine.

Really? Could you tell me more about the car?

I am really excited as its my first ever car. Rented a fair bit of cars myself. But its a different feeling owning a car that, people say, has a bond with its driver. And hence the Mazda 3. I was looking at the CX-3 but decided against it as its based on the Mazda 2. And I wanted a compact class car. I could have gone for the CX-5 but it was a expensive.

Cool. Thanks for the response. It is always nice hearing feedback  from current owners. Makes you a little bit more content with the choice of the car. And Youtube videos arent always "ownership" focused, if you know what I mean. They give you a very subjective view of the car under the pretext of "ownership review". Like, they drive the car around for a week or two. But not from a current owner who has lived with the car for about 2-3 years. So whilst I do watch the videos, I do take them with a pinch of salt. So its always 50-50 for me.

So your dad has a Mazda. You had a Mazda. And your current car is also a Mazda? So I guess your family is pretty satisfied with a Mazda.

The light fitting in my bathroom came loose yesterday and now I can’t attach it back on because I can’t reach the screws due to that metal cover thing. Is there a better way to attach it back on to the ceiling? As you can see, I’m using tape as a temporary fix which looks ridiculous

Disconnect the power, take bulb out and then take out the screws, I can see at least two, that are holding the reflector (ie that metal thing) and remove it. You may need to wiggle it slightly to get it out.

That should give you access to the main mounting screws.

Failing that, a liberal dose of Bonjela should do the trick.

A word of caution mate.

There may be no trace of it on his last scan, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it has gone.. let’s hope so, but it may not mean it’s a cure... good luck to him though

Two more scans later and they still can't find a trace of it

Can I ask for recommendations for somewhere in Lincolnshire, please.

We are five lads, mid-thirties and are after somewhere to act as a base where we can go hiking over the weekend.

Looking for somewhere:

- With a couple decent pubs/restaurants within walking distance
- Ideally not a million miles away from east coast walks (but we can drive there)

[Tesco tearaway]

Does anybody know what it means when someone makes this gesture towards you?
It is an up and down motion.
