Any plumbers on here?

Having bother with the immersion heater atm. Had the coil and the stat replaced recently but when I turn the switch on I was only getting hot water for 1-2 days max before the stat was tripped.
Plumber recommended disconnecting the immersion from the switch in hot press and put a plug on the end to connect it directly to a plug socket (to rule out a fault between switch in kitchen & hotpress switch), I did this he came out reset the stat and again we'd hot water for 1-2 days max before Stat tripped again.
I've now replaced the flex from immersion to Hot Press switch, everything has been tested by a spark and from an electrical perspective everything is working but I'm still not getting any hot water when the immersion is switched on. Besides replacing the stat is there anything else I should be getting the plumber to check when he comes out again?

For any of you with kids that have FIFA 18 - they've released a free World Cup update available to download. We've a PS4 think it's available on a few other platforms as well.

I coach both football and rugby, abuse from the sideline towards the referee and the opposition is horrendous in football, my own club has to ensure parents aren't pitch side. Rugby parents (fairly often the same parents) are nowhere near as bad but it's a growing concern so much that the IRFU have introduced silent sidelines, coaches are allowed only give instructions once per half and parents are pretty much only allowed applaud and that's it. Kids find it strange at first but the feedback is very positive from the kids.

The GAA need to change this culture.
Dinny - silent sidelines, how do you find this works? I'm trying to implement this with our coaches u6-u10 atm and it's actually harder than it sounds. Focusing more on our own coaches to get them comfortable with it rather than other teams that come to our place to play. Without some type of pregame notice, lollipops to distract the parents during gameplay or silent sideline enforcers at every underage game it'd be a nightmare to police.

Hmm Sinn Fein's silence about this is amazing? Especially after the McElduff + Kingsmill escapade.
The public outcry on twitter is calling for heads to roll - does Sinn Féin really need to get over involved

Question - if Mourinho goes/gets the boot who replaces him? Are there that many top calibre managers available that could push Utd up another level; Diego Simeone/Carlo Ancelotti?

Looking to buy a people carrier/ suv. Any suggestions?
We've a Ford S-Max, three full seats in the back for car seats, and the two seats in the back are a decent size as well when they're up.

Typical away European performance from a Mourinho side, really hard to watch. He'd be happy with 1-0 home wins as long as his team progress.

Have you seen the rest of the Nolan Show audience/commentators?? Bryson looks like Henry Kissinger in their company.

I think he has Allister, Bryson and Nelson McCausland on speed dial. The more extremist the better for Nolans ratings which is his sole concern, that's why he engages with them constantly.
When I see either of these bigots on Nolan - I switch off they repeat the same mantra time and again. Bryson going to Westminster indicates how bad things have become. Would stopping the salaries at this point even have any effect?

That was just about the most enjoyable 15 minutes of viewing I've seen in a long time. Turned it on probably in the same frame of mind as I watch the odd F1 race (might see a good crash here) but found the whole thing super. Great launch and the return of the two boosters, with synchronised landings to boot!, the "lad" in the car with Bowie playing, and "Don't Panic" on the display. It was class.

I hadn't looked into in all prior to watching it, so pretty much everything was a surprise, which I supposed helped my awe and wonder. And watching it with kids helped too!

Presume the Core thingy that was supposed to land on the drone ship didn't work out as planned!
It was reported that only one of the three core engines ignited and it missed the drone ship by about 300m.

Heading to Duinrell in August, booked through Al Fresco. Has anyone been to this park before? Going by the online reviews and website there's plenty to keep 3 kids entertained. Do I need to hire a car to get from the airport?

On a website that has disable rightmouse, and highlight/copy, is there a way to get a copy of images or the page text by inspecting the source code in the browser?
I would use a "snipper" tool for the pictures. Not sure how you would capture the text other than in an image...
Use IE to open the page: View > Source
