Flat Roof
Hi N Thornton
I recently had a flat roof problem and decided to put a fibreglass roof on myself a DIY project. I came across an ebook book priced £2 advertised in google sponserd links on the web at; www.flatroof-advice.co.uk It proved very beneficial it is in two sections one concerning hiring a flat roofer, i.e. questions to ask, how much you should pay, what materials should be used, how to avoid the "cowboys", what the isurance and guarantees mean etc; and another section concerned with DIY which included easy to understand graphic illustration. It was full of useful information concerning all aspects of flat roofing, how to fit the decking, different types of material, how to fit a warm roof, where to source fibreglass supplies and how to apply it etc; Best of luck with your roof; and hope this is of help Regards Fred |

Distant relative maybe? Pathetic! -- Grunff |
I've paid my =A32 through Paypal. How do I get the book?

Can you people stop being sarcastic and let me know what is going on
here. Thanks. |

What are the tell-tale signs of this con? The website looks quite
genuine. |

Are you always this rude? I occasionally visit the uk diy site, saw
the posting on Flat Roof and thought it looked interesting and useful. Does that make me stupid? |

No, but it does if you sent money without checking out what you get in return. A few e-mails back and forth to the seller is usually a good idea. At least you then know that there is someone at the other end to send the money to, and to grab when things go tits up. You should also make sure you get a genuine address and phone number from anyone you meet over the SPAM e-mail system. Making sure you call the number and get a reply from the person you've been chatting too in e-mail, and the address should be checked through the royal mail website. So, if you have genuinely sent money to a SPAM e-mail address and website, then you are a stupid arse. |
My =A32 has bought me a little experience!

advice for my =A32. I still don't know how I was supposed to know this was a spammer. I just clicked on the link in the first message before you and others warned against it. |

And I'll bet that the info you get in the ebook is just what you can get on here, only a bit more general. uk.d-i-y is free though. -- SJW Please reply to group or use 'usenet' in email subject |
Although I haven't studied it in detail, you might well be right. This
is certainly a great site for people like me with limited DIY experience. A final (?) point on all this. If this thread is inappropriate and is being used by spammers, why hasn't the thread been deleted? |

This is an unmoderated Usenet group, not a web bulletin board - there's nobody in charge and no central place to delete stuff from anyway. Which is exactly why it pays to stick around, read what people have to say, ask questions, and figure out for yourself who you want to listen to and who you want to ignore. -- Grunff |

Ken - we're obliged to "Lurch" for illustrating another feature of Usenet News. Don't be upset! :-) One of the first cartoons about the Internet, vintage c.1985 IIRC (if I remember correctly), was a picture of a dog sitting at a keyboard and grinningly telling another dog "On the Internet, no-one knows you're a dog!". [Yes, c.1985 - long before this Web thing.] John |

No-one is in charge of it. He's posting from Google Groups, so possibly thinks this is a web forum. |

[Yes, c.1985 - long before this Web thing.] Dunno about R'ing "correctly", but http://www.unc.edu/depts/jomc/academics/dri/idog.html claims this cartoon is from the New Yorker July 5, 1993 issue, p.61. That puts it before the WWW explosion, but well after Tim Berners-Lee had started the madness. First release of Mosaic, which kicked off the madness by readily including (gasp) pictures, was Christmas 1992 - geeks in at least one corporate compsci research lab I have passing familiarity with were all over it by mid-1993. That's enough early-days-of-the-Web from me, I think! |
Although I haven't studied it in detail, you might well be right. This
is certainly a great site for people like me with limited DIY experience. It's not a great 'site' at all. It's a site someone has set up to grab all of the discussion on a public newsgroup, repackage it and republish it as if it were theirs. It's not. I still don't seem to be able get the quotes in my replies so I must be extremely thick. I'm sure if Lurch swears at me a bit more I will become much brighter, but it hasn't worked so far! In this case I have copied and pasted the quote but haven't got the blue colour so I guess I've done it wrong (Sooooo thick!). Anyway the reason I called it a great 'site' was because in recent months I have had a few really useful tips for which I have been grateful. If someone would like to politely tell me how to reply using quotes I would be grateful! Thanks. |

many thanks.

Then all that you need is access to a news server (your ISP should have this, or failing that sign up at news.individual.net). All of the proper etiquette things for posting to Usenet and easier reading from it are available with proper newsreaders and you won't **** people off with lost thread references or confuse them by not having quotations where needed. Google is useful as a means to search for old posts, but that's about it. I have now managed to set up Free Agent so hopefully this reply shows appropriate quotes and Lurch won't need to swear at me any more! |
