Actually, to do them properly you need a professional and materials are very expensive at the moment, especially for decent wood that will last. £7k probably is quite a lot for that job though, but it's a tradesmen's wet dream atm, more work than there are skilled people to do it.
Our back room is costing us just short of 7k for damp proofing, insulation and then plastering and the quotes were much of a muchness, the crowd we got in are local though.

Well apart from the sill the existing wood is still working at 110 years old, so I'm going to go with my idea. Remove sash, remove glass, repair cracks/damage, create larger rebate, put slimline DG in, and go from there. I also need more mass on the weights, and some brush seals, but that's minor stuff.
It'll have to wait a bit though, I have other stuff to be getting on with. If it works ok I can remove the frame next summer and replace the sills.

We've talked about people complaining in Wales about house prices, the 300% council tax wankery and the fact that I assert that most of it is really just jealousy from sections of noisy local Plaid Cymru types that are driving the narrative in the land of cheap housing.
Some doubt that - but this is sort of stuff is what's going on from councillors in Wales - so how bad do you think some sections of the population are?:

It was clearly a joke based on current English attitudes to Channel migrants. Fucking Hell.

I'd put money on it being both - one that he's taking the piss out of English attitudes and two that he fucking hates the English. That joke could have been made by any of the 1253 other Welsh councillors - but it wasn't. It was made by a Welsh Nationalist councillor - and that's how it'll play to his English-hating voters.
Actually, I'd put money on him not actually understanding parody.

This is illustrative of a proper disaster:

Because that's getting repeated in nearly all our rivers where we discharge sewage and farms run-off into rivers.

So its a sequel that just ignores the first attempt at 3 and 4?

Yep, the original creator had nothing to do with 3 and 4, so this is his version of a third game.

Olivia Pratt-Korbel: Convicted drug dealer held after Liverpool shooting
Convicted drug dealer Joseph Nee, who was shot as he ran into Olivia Pratt-Korbel's home, is detained.

I don't see how it's really fair for someone who is also a victim of a crime to named and pretty much shamed like this?
And arrested for what?

Had to move my PC from the lounge to the spare room while shit is getting done downstairs.
Never realised how much heat this fucking thing kicks out. I might try out not having any heating on at all in the living room for a bit next winter.

I agree with the naming part.
However, he was arrested for breaking bail conditions, that he wouldn't have if he wasn't a persistent criminal. People who shoot people in cases like this aren't doing it for the lols, despite them being a set of scumbags they do generally have a code, don't involve "outsiders" as that attracts po po. He will know exactly who shot him and for what reason (or perceived reason) Chances are, he won't say a word though because "snitches get stitches" and various other tired cliches.

Breaking bail, being involved in gangland shite, running into someone's house when being pursued by people you've got in deep with and getting a kid killed.Olivia Pratt-Korbel: Convicted drug dealer held after Liverpool shooting

The "must cut the grass" POV is so deeply ingrained in this country. Old men cutting roadside grass verges so it looks "neat and tidy" all across Cheshire. And people complaining about maggots in bins. I'm quite happy to have maggots in bins, that means flies. And flies means bird food. Which means more birds, and therefore more pollination.
I cycled along the Churnet Valley Cycleway the other week, I've not been there before. At one part there's a staggering wildflower meadow, several acres large. It was astonishing. I wanted to take a photo but had many more miles of riding to do, so I didn't stop.

Our Parish council haven't been mowing our verges for this very reason. A few people whine about it on the village Facebook page but fuck'um.
I have certainly noticed more butterflies this year, we even had a few weeks of these in the garden, they liked a particular flower that we had planted.
