NJ2 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I can get 96 for £30. Obviously, it's a lot of can to try and move on if it is indeed, shite. I’ve never tried it but after your crisps and buttons bargains I’d stick for the day and avoid 96 cans of fizzy pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Can anyone recommend something unblock a pipe? My bathroom sink doesn't drain away... at all, any more. I can't access any of the pipes (well, the ones I can access have no blockages) so I need something to put down the plughole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of these, it pumps up and uses the compressed air to shift the blockage, Pango is the brand, available from merchants and Amazon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Caustic soda is the cheap way of unblocking a sink. Nasty stuff though so wear gloves 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who wants that nasty stuff going all over the place? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly boy. 999 was a great show but pretty mental. Highlights were the woman who impaled herself on spiked railings who then had to free herself and had to crawl along the street, rapidly losing blood, to get to her flat to phone the eponymous number, the person who got fucked up by a herd of stampeding cows and the person who slipped and put a javelin through their neck. Wouldn't be surprised if @Shandon Par was on it one time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mines was blocked last week, just take the trap off, they’re plastic and only on hand tight, it will be blocked there.

sureiknow Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 A friend of mine is thinking of painting her oil tank black, it's green as seems all are. Any reason why they are green and can she paint it black? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try some bog standard supermarket sink unblocker, followed by loads of hot water. I'd recommend sulphuric acid which is spectacularly effective, but it might melt your plumbing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
