You can also get the expanding foam post fix, but, I wouldnt trust it really, especially where I live on the side of a valley and when the storms blow in the right direction, whistling down the valley, nowt is safe!

Cannot beat a breaky uppy mode, saves the hand cramps and chipped knuckles knocking ten bells out of a chod of conc with a hammer and chisel.

I have a massive JCB drill with a concrete breaky uppy mode which has got me out of jail free a couple of times replacing rotted fence posts that has been concreted in.

Putting my 2 deckings in.... I've dug enough post holes to last me a life time... I feel sorry for the future poor sod who may want to shift'em... Like most things I do, I tend to go over the top, and as such, I've probably got shares in postcrete! :D

Consult a qualified electrician for compliance with BS 7671 and local building Regs! Avoid areas where future digging is likely. ;)

That depends on where the cable is to run. Minimum depth in a garden in 450mm. Under pavements 600mm.

I saw that link on a YouTube video a while ago about really old webpages.

There's a handful of really old webpages that are still around that come from the earliest days of the public internet.  (I say public because there was the old BBS sites years and years before then that weren't as obviously accessible to people).

In my Conflict 3049 game I have a short video Easter Egg that can play if the right conditions are met in the Space Battle window in the corner of the screen during gameplay that's also from the really early days of Video Game Memes.

..this one i found interesting as it seems to be a internet big bank zero time moment..interesting to ee it still around.

Not the first web site, but an interesting blast from the past  ;)

A lot of names on the old Blitz website I haven't seen in nearly 25 years or so.  Sigh.

And the same question I always have when this comes up: anyone remember the URL of the Blitz site hosted by Shane R Monroe (author of the BlitzBasic docs back in the day) before Blitz Research hosted their own?  Blitz Basement, maybe?  *heads off to try that*

[edit] Yeah, that was the one.  Sadly, archive.org doesn't have much of the forums there saved.  Oh well.
