Correct but will need condensate pipe to soak away in garden .Also be aware heating engineers don't like doing pipe calculations so will probably want a bigger gas feed pipe from the meter to the boiler. It is easy for them compared to doing all that's maths to see if the existing pipe is big enough and a good easy earner to. Pipe work on hot domestic hot water will be ok the output flow rate from a combi is much lower than that of a tank store system. So get a good paper to read while waiting for the bath to fill. Cold feed will be ok. Should not be a problem but if the radiators are to small do not try and up the space heating water temp high to the radiators to compensate. If you do the boiler will lose it's condensing function and become up to 30% less efficient. Ps getting the existing heating pipe work properly cleaned and radiators flushed is worth very penny but expensive for the work involved , another easy good earner.

Prime number are so important to all of us, being the basis of nearly all internet encryption. I have read about the basis of why prime numbers make such a strong encryption base but to be honest never have got a true understanding why. The idea of a public and private key I think I understand . Anyway what I want to say is prime numbers are all our friends without which the Internet could not exist in the way we all use it.

It is a very long time since I was in Iserial , however my memory is that nearly all young people did national service and they carried their weapon 24 /7 for the first year. I saw groups come to the beach , pile up automatic weapons and go for a swim leaving one to guard them. However if the weapon was discharged without orders even by accident it was a custodial offence. The difference between Iserial and the US I would suggest is the training and discipline forced into the vast majority of gun owners to understand that the weapon is a tool, not an extension to their sexual virility. US gun freaks scare the **** out of me.

Trouble is Mr Putin is only going to except that outcome with a demiiterised Ukraine, ie totally unable to defend what remains of it's itself. Any independent military force would exclude all Western nations , so who the Iranians, Chinese or maybe a few African friends who can be overcome in 3 days. Sorry all he will accept is a paper cover to save the wests blushes when he eats the entire pie within 5 years. If the west was going to let him have Ukraine it should have done so 2 years ago, the die is cast. .

As an ex telecoms engineer who hates the concept of the always connected always available world , get a new mobile and give the number to nobody or as near as possible. I have a cheap tablet purchased from Facebook with cash, loaded with only one email address from some strange Dutch provider who is a bit security mad , never sent or received an email on it , never purchased anything on it , not loaded with any social media sites or banking details. Only used for browsing using an onion browzer.Now I am sure somebody somehow can identify me from it but it will be hard. Use it to access sites that I see recommended on my main device but feel uneasy in any way about and as a kind of get your noses out of my life to the large data gathering companies. The number of sites I cannot enter because the site cannot access my data or my IP address is frightening. And no I do not use it for porn the security settings on the browser mean I cannot stream any video content , something to do with security flaws in the video software used. So how safe is my device, any thoughts from any ex software experts out there.

Ilmoro sorry to ask but the default figure you give Does it include or exclude unrecoverable loans. Thanks for your work on this I find it very useful.

Trouble is, if reports received are correct the big bucks institutional business is a busted flush.So where does that leave AC to go.No retail or institutional trade at a profitable level and they sure cannot try and jump back into retail. You know sorry it's all been a big misunderstanding here gbba 3, surprise!

I respect different views on the way forward and way I see it we all have very little if any control over the way AC play this out. Personally intend to withdrawal weekly from now on instead of monthly as not sure if money in the cash account is ring fenced away from grasping administrators or can be used to cover their fees. As for the last 2 votes it's b every time, don't trust the transfer of assets into property holding company, why and any loan that can be brought to a conclusion before a potential administration the better.

Making some assumptions that the complainants are successful and AC call in administrators to the retail arm, I don't think it will bother AC at all. Representational damage will be controlled by A C absolute control of the narrative to the only audience that matter to them. IE we wanted to do the right thing, pursue a managed wind down until the end in the best interest of lenders and borrowers but contrary investers forced us into administration. A C directors will get large retainers to assist the administration and refunds/ fines will never be payed as they will be unsecured creditors in the administration. Harder banking investors will just see AC disposing of a uneconomic retail arm at no cost a good business decision. What are we achieving here , I do not get it, hope I am wrong.

Um I do wonder if those comparative homicide rates are more about the availability of weapons than the existence or non existence of the death sentence. Here couples hit each other or on occasion stab which the injured party will probably will survive, a 45 calibre weapon at short range however, fatal . Unless you're suggesting that the death sentence be available for all serious assaults... No on balance I am opposed to the death sentence. 1 Do not believe in the infallibility of jury,s or the legal system 2 Uneasy moral feelings

Sadly a girl I went to school with ran 2 sub post offices on the island and horizon wrongly lost her both businesses , her partner , house and came close to freedom. Even worse only a couple of months ago she was begging on Facebook for rented accommodation as her landlord was selling up. She has never recovered, luckily local people on the island remembered her story and the when I last heard had sorted accommodation out for her . Post office managers I hope were jailed for the way continued to pursue sub post masters when they knew of the system issues.
