Last posted around Xmas 2017 and not spotted him on here since. Does anyone know if he's okay? Thought he might be bisy with his new house and stuff.

I sent him a DM at the end of March and got a reply.
He just seemed really busy with stuff.
He said he'd try to check the boards but I guess he did and there was nothing worthwhile replying to, or he just forgot/didn’t have time.

Thanks . I thought it'd be something like that. Ernie was one of the most prolific posters on here and suddenly he went very quiet.

Yes, I was wondering what had happened to him.

While we're asking about absentees, has anyone heard from AlunD? I did try sending him a pm some time ago, but he hasn't replied. I know he wasn't well, so fingers crossed he's OK.

*Really wishes he could make a dramatic entrance* Hi, folks! I'm absolutely fine, it's just that life got in the way... New house and an adorable labrador who takes up way more time and space than I imagined! He's not even that big but enjoys sleeping sideways wherever he can  Anyway, I hope you're all OK. I'd love to say I'll be on here more frequently but I find that after work it's Dinner Walk the dog Put up more shelves Watch Netflix Order even more geeky stuff   _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Good to hear from you, pcernie. Check back in when you can.

He knows it too! Will do, though tonight was a perfect example of why I haven't; found out my fridge socket was also wired into a socket in the living room. Luckily only the fridge socket died and nothing else! Whoever put this house together... I'll catch up with them in this life or the next  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

WB pcernie.
I know the feeling of finding out about bodge jobs around the house. The previous owner of my house was a clearly a fan of silicone sealant and used it everywhere - radiators, tap connections etc. The wiring was inspected about 10 years ago when they did an extension. Doesn't stop the weird things I keep finding.

Just found we've been living with asbestos around the boiler flue for 2.5 years...

FFS, I assume it isn't broken? Don't suppose any house insurance would cover removal if need be? _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

No, not broken thankfully. We've had specialists in and it is being removed very shortly. The set-up involved is like something out of a sci-fi movie isolation scene.
