replying to Lee, noel gallagher wrote: i could go into detail Well this is a DIY group, so that is exactly what you need to do. (unless you just fancy waving your willy?) Having said that, the original post is over 4 years old, so chances are its been done now! what you need to do but unless you are qualified i There is no requirement for qualifications, just adequate knowledge and skill. strongly recommend you get someone who is to do it.as showers come into contact with person/s you need protection with a safe disconnection time so an rcd or rcbo is mandatory. Since the 17th edition, a RCD is mandatory for an electrically heated shower, however not for the reason you cite, since its quite possible to meet the required disconnection times without a RCD in many installations. as for cable size ,length of run,where and how is the cable is run,size of shower come into play also. http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php/...lectric_shower -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

"Three strikes and you're out" -- If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

I have believe it or not read quite a lot of philosophy though. I suppose you dont know the underlying philosophical positions which underpinned Marxism, Nazism and the philosophies of the new post-modern Left? No, thought not. Sigh. Its as clear as crystal to see fir example what metaphysics Plowperson unconsciously uses to form his view of the world. It's pathetic, its useless, it probably has left him permanently scarred, not very rich, and miserable, but will he give it up? No way. It's all he has. If he ceased to have faith in it, everything he thinks he is would vanish or become pointless. It takes a certain something to understand that the world, and the possible views one has of it, are not the same. It is the curse of the half-clever that having thought they actually understood something, they believe they have arrived at the truth for all time and become ossified Stupid people and really clever people are in fact better. They *know* they haven't arrived at the truth, and never will. But at least they know there is a truth, and some ways of looking at it work better than others. And of all the ways, Marxism, which is the heart of just about any educated 'liberals' world view (even if they don't know it) is the most useless and dysfunctional and destructive. But then that was the idea. Marx set out to destroy a system he hated because it didn't appreciate what a fine fellow he was...So he wrote the Lefty****s Bible, telling the stupes how great but oppressed they were, and how the kingdom of heaven would be theirs if they all got together and behaved like sullen spoilt brats. Superb! The ultimate regime change tool, and in every case where its been used to effect a regime change, what comes after is infinitely worse than what came before, and stays till the people are sick of it. We just got sick of it. Get over it. -- A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. |

I think you will find, James, that post-modern Marxism and its Liberal derivatives consider that a fact *is* an opinion. This stems from a lack of intelligence and addiction to binary thinking in being unable to discern between 'the truth is ultimately unknowable' and 'there is no truth except what people believe it to be'. If you look at the last few weeks you will see this operating at full throttle. Of course as a philosopher pointed out.."there is no truth except what people believe it to be" is merely a "truth that people believe"...hahaha. What have you been smoking? Nothing, sadly. I have believe it or not read quite a lot of philosophy though. I suppose you dont know the underlying philosophical positions which underpinned Marxism, Nazism and the philosophies of the new post-modern Left? No, thought not. Sigh. Its as clear as crystal to see fir example what metaphysics Plowperson unconsciously uses to form his view of the world. It's pathetic, its useless, it probably has left him permanently scarred, not very rich, and miserable, but will he give it up? No way. It's all he has. If he ceased to have faith in it, everything he thinks he is would vanish or become pointless. It takes a certain something to understand that the world, and the possible views one has of it, are not the same. It is the curse of the half-clever that having thought they actually understood something, they believe they have arrived at the truth for all time and become ossified Stupid people and really clever people are in fact better. They *know* they haven't arrived at the truth, and never will. But at least they know there is a truth, and some ways of looking at it work better than others. And of all the ways, Marxism, which is the heart of just about any educated 'liberals' world view (even if they don't know it) is the most useless and dysfunctional and destructive. But then that was the idea. Marx set out to destroy a system he hated because it didn't appreciate what a fine fellow he was...So he wrote the Lefty****s Bible, telling the stupes how great but oppressed they were, and how the kingdom of heaven would be theirs if they all got together and behaved like sullen spoilt brats. Superb! The ultimate regime change tool, and in every case where its been used to effect a regime change, what comes after is infinitely worse than what came before, and stays till the people are sick of it. We just got sick of it. Get over it. Philosophy is a load of ******** to me. Nonsensical waffle. -- Do not adjust your mind - the fault is with reality. |
