Alright here is your Kate update from the Crazy size of TikTok.

So apparently there was a lawyer/PR team around yesterday and the bbc has been put on notice for some kind of announcement soon. The word is that William got Rose Hanbury pregnant and that it could be a nervous breakdown.

Word is Rose hasn’t been seen either so this could be the soft launch of Rose.

On the subject of Rose, she got married to her husband when she was 19 25 and he was in his 40's. They got married two days after the engagement was announced, and around three months later she gave birth to twins. He's spent most of his time since then living in Paris with his openly gay roommate, and she's never lived more than 15 minutes away from William. One of the twins was a page boy at Charles and Camilla's wedding.

There's a non-zero chance that those twins are William's, and as such could have a direct claim to the throne.

The photo, not seeing the children either, secrecy of it, fact they rolled her out in heels with the baby like a day after, no information.

It’s just suspect that’s all. If it wasn’t for the clearly not in March photo there wouldn’t be much said about it.

I have been fairly invested purely because I could do with a little crazy but believable conspiracy theory, but that photo put things into overdrive.

I have an heated towel rail in my bathroom that is leaking. It's a slow leak, just the occasional drip from what I can see. How do I fix it?



The leak is coming, from what I can tell, from the thick horizontal cylinder pointing into the center of the radiator.

This will be my first time doing any plumbing so step by step instructions would be appreciated.

You'll probably need a new valve. They're not expensive and a plumber can do it in under an hour so its not that bad. If they can lock the heating loop off before the towel rail they wont even need to drain the system and refill.

To paraphrase the old saying, it's better to call them out and have them think you're incapable than attempt it and end up proving it (and have to call them everywhere) (and have loads of shitey water everywhere).

Even if it probably is just the outer bit of the valve and no more difficult than replacing the o ring on a tap, I'd rather not mess with radiator valves.

Plumbing's just water lego.

As long as you've got a bucket and a towel handy there's a limited amount of water that will come pissing out of there (assuming you're not simultaneously filling the system for some reason, make sure your boiler doesn't do that automatically or anything) so buy a part, grab an adjustable spanner and go hog wild attempt the replacement. Worst case you leave your heating off until you can get someone proper in to fix your gently caress up, best case you learn a new skill and are more confident the next time.

I think the more likely option is that Rose's husband, David Rocksavage, is gay. But as he is nobility, he needs to have an heir. So makes a deal with Rose, "let me breed you, then I can go back to breeding my boyfriend."

The twins were born in 2009. Which means unless the affair has been going on for 15+ years, they are unlikely to be William's.

Now Rose's other child (her daughter Iris) was born in 2016. That's slightly more plausible given the rumours of the affair being found out in 2019. It's still a long shot.

Now a hypothetical new Rose baby? Could very likely be William's.

Still don't know whose genius idea it was to have loops of stagnant water all over the house for heating.

The Romans taught us how to do ducted central heating, the Victorians knew that water only went to the scullery, sink, and outhouse, and Lord Kelvin gave us perfectly serviceable compressed gas transfer.

Then some genius comes along and says "how about we cut through half the joists and fill it with water?"

In a decently insulated house air conditioning heats a room up faster than a radiator, and provides cooling in the summer. Our obsession with radiators is crap.

I'm wary of anything hidden away (although I've just installed a new toilet that involves some boxed in pipework) but a radiator valve is pretty visible. If it starts leaking slowly... well, it looks like how it already does.

this reminds me that the water in block went off a couple weeks ago, with the building management and thames water trying to shuffle it off onto the other (it turns out it was thames water after they'd turn a valve somewhere while doing some maintenance)

the initial contractor sent out couldn't do a thing because he'd been given wrong/old info and had no idea where to look, but we did find a flooded basement which also had an electric box wrapped in DANGER DO NOT TOUCH tape

anyway we recently got a message from the management:

quote:

In the area in question, which we understand used to be the boiler room, there are two outlet pipes which for whatever reason we have yet to determine why, discharges water into this area. There does not seem to be any pattern to this which makes it more frustrating. We believe that it can only be coming from either the commercial unit opposite, or from the flats above.

Temporarily, we have installed a pump in this room to pump the water to a nearby drain. This will help us avoid having to have the water removed from the area and prevent any water building up.

We will then need to start in the commercial units, and then in the flats directly above carrying out a number of dye tests to see if the flats discharge into the room.

We’ll shortly be arranging a visit with the commercial unit, and then we will work our way up the building by visiting each flat.

no clue, i only recently started talking to other residents (i've lived here for nearly 3 years but been mostly an antisocial hermit) who were aware it was a problem. "it's flooded AGAIN? i thought it was drained a couple weeks ago"

it was definitely at least a couple feet deep though, poor plumber was wearing trainers so unable to really go wading through

I've seen it mentioned in a few magazine articles that William was madly in love with Rose before he proposed to Kate, echoing the situation between Charles and Camilla. I don't believe her husband is the father of the twins due to the very rushed nature of the wedding followed by the birth three months later.

As I said, it's a non-zero chance, but it would also be the funniest timeline if the royal fisticuffs end up turning into duels with swords and pistols, culminating in "Hail King Alexander Hugh George Cholmondeley, Earl of Rocksavage, King of England!"

See in my opinion, the rushed nature of the engagement/wedding was because he wanted to be sure that she was preggers and past the main danger zone. Once it looked like she was a runner for having his kids, then he gets married.

But I can understand the thinking behind twin princes.

It must suck how one of the twins (Oliver) was made a page of honour at King Chalres coronation, but not Alexander. Like with twins at that event it should have been both or none.
