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.

Now includes brackets.
Well mostly includes some brackets..*

Now your code can look as colourful as your underpants after being worn continuously for four weeks. Just follow the handy guide over at the highlight.js github supported languages page, that we've graciously provided for your viewing pleasure.

Usage:
Just add code=language_to_use as your start code tag to your block of code, and hay-presto. Your world is no longer black and white.+

Oh where's the Blitz Research stuff I hear you ask. Well look no further. Just add one of the psychedelic code options below.

Blitz3D: blitz3d, b3d
BlitzMax/BlitzMax-NG: blitzmax, bmx, bmx-ng
Monkey-X/Cerberus-x: cerberus, monkeyx
Monkey 2: monkey2, mx2

Now go on and colour your world.

+NOTE: No colours, then refresh your web browser.
*Disclaimer: Syntaxboom is not responsible if: a) your code doesn't work. b) If your code looks stupid with or without brackets. c) You cannot code to save your life. d) Seeing colour gives you headaches and makes you vomit. e) You frequent this site because you are the original Billy No Mates. f) Well f because I just felt like it.[/b
If you've dug yourself into a hole. Just keep digging. You're bound to come out the other side eventually.

Good, I like adding a bit of color to my posts. I think it adds a bit of depth and meaning.

I used to like doing Red and White as a superscript color.  ::)
