  1. Because, like Boro, Barnsley, PNE, Millwall, Coventry, Peterborough, QPR (now) and several others we play by the rules rather than disregarding them for instant gratification. Even clubs like Swansea and Stoke are facing up to life without PPs and cutting their cloth accordingly. As long as people like Morris try to game the system the EFL needs to clamp down hard otherwise what`s the point?
  2. Why for the love of God is Lewis Gregory playing? He`s got a stress fracture in his back and could barely move on Saturday. Surely someone else could have stepped in? Even one of the kids just for the experience.
  3. Indeed it can. There were cases in the early days of rent-a-roof where mortgage providers refused to mortgage properties that had done it. I`ve not heard of it lately though so I guess something must have been sorted. It`s still not worth the risk of leasing them IMO.
  4. The general rule is (from best to worst) South West East North You will get some gain from any direction but most advisors will recommend one of the first two if possible.
  5. There`s quite a few on that list that we`ve had the pleasure of playing over the years!
  6. I bet he wouldn`t turn up, he`d make some excuse or other. After all, he surely must know. Mustn`t he?
  7. That`s the way forward. There`s no value in feeding the surplus generated electricity back into the grid, the price per Kw just doesn`t make it worthwhile. Battery storage is still expensive and (relatively) inefficient but the technology is improving all the time and the cost is coming down like it did with PV panels. With electric cars being the future, I can see PV/battery systems being the norm going forward. What do you reckon is the future for solar thermal mate? I know a couple of HAs that are removing the systems they have that are about 15 years old now (installed when the houses were built) and are costing a lot to maintain. I see a lot of ASHPs on social housing but am always surprised at how badly they rate on the EPCs I do - whether that`s the fault of the system or the EPC software though, who knows? GSHPs rate really well by comparison though.
  8. But is he a Kentish Man or a Man of Kent. I know which one I think he is.
  9. Wouldn`t it have been funny if someone had stuck a leg out?
  10. Just reading the thread on their forum about the Mel Morris interview today on Radio Derby. It sounds a bit of a car crash.
  11. Sorry mate, most of that is not true. You may have cowboys installing them in Australia but we don`t over here by and large. I`d love to see your evidence of `most properties experiencing roof leaks` as I`ve never heard of one - and, rather surprisingly, the UK gets more rain than Australia. I`m not an installer by the way, just someone who`s profession is involved in assessing these installations. I`d rather deal in evidence than anecdotes.
  12. So, what the belter is saying is, that absolutely nothing should happen in the Greater Bristol area when the fewers are playing. All the shops should be closed, all events cancelled and the roads cleared by the police to allow them through. They`d still only get 6k.
  13. Not sure if I`ve missed this on the thread but Colin Murray just said on the Quest re-run that the nine point deduction for accounting issues has already been agreed with the EFL so the 21 point deduction will apply. It looks like the `selling the club debt-free in League 1` scenario is what will happen. Still leaves them with the two year admin embargo though. I wonder (if Rooney stays) how many Man Utd youngsters will rock up on loan?
  14. It is. I`ve been involved in a couple of projects for a Housing Association where they`ve installed them when they`ve re-roofed a block of properties. They aren`t so much individual tiles as sheets that look like tiles though which are made to measure for the roof - a bit like the GRP roofs you get to replace flat ones. The biggest barrier is though, as it ever was, resistance from the big house-builders who are coincidentally big financial donors to certain political parties.
  15. All heading away from Horfield to Poundland and the like? They probably weren`t among the 5.5k loyal and true at the game.
  16. And under no circumstances ask for Chef`s special Source.
  17. They deserved that, by far the best side on the day.
  18. I`d crack open that bottle of 20 year old malt you were saving for a special occasion if I were you.
