Do try and pay attention.

You are talking about thick trolls here.
They are pretty dumb animals you know.

No - you clearly thought that you were putting it on
breeze/brieze/breize blocks

Breeze blocks _are_ concrete blocks.

Don't confuse the poor man.

Oh dear - Crispin fails again at the English language test.

Breeze blocks are not made out of concrete - they are made out of
ash and cinder.

No, you are wrong (again). Bertie is right.
Breeze blocks were concrete blocks that used breeze as aggregate.

It's patently obvious that you don't know what you are talking about -
you've picked up half of what I posted earlier about breeze, but were
incapable of assimilating the information in, what, three whole
sentences?

Breeze blocks are concrete blocks. Breeze blocks are not dense
concrete blocks, but that doesn't mean they are not concrete blocks.

Still - you have never been one for accuracy have you.

LOL.

I can sort of understand Judith not knowing about building materials -
after all, I know little enough. But I would expect a handyman to know
something about the subject.

Still - you have never been one for accuracy have you.

Indeed, I wouldn't expect anyone outside a small specialised sub-set
of construction professionals to know what breeze actually is. I
wouldn't expect you or Judith or indeed anyone else who frequents the
group to know what it is. I certainly would not criticise anyone for
not knowing.

What is objectionable, however, is someone that doesn't know what they
are talking about laying into someone else and labeling that person
an idiot (or worse) for not knowing something the criticiser
obviously doesn't understand either.

Also, it takes a special kind of stupid to criticise someone for not
knowing something you didn't know, and actually getting it so wrong
they were more right than you.

Yes. My mistake was believeing that breeze/breize was a generic term
for concrete blocks, and not just lightweight concrete blocks made
from ash and cinder.

Blockwit's howler was that breeze blocks were just compacted ash and
cinder without cement to bond it together.

Judith's mistake was to believe that Blockwit knew what he was talking
about.

Oh come off it. Everyone knows what a breeze block is. Cwispin
couldn't even ****ing spell it properly.

Quick poll. How many people on the NG know what a breeze block is?

After his son’s murderer had been convicted, Barry Mizen said he had
been struck by a remark made by the killer’s primary school teacher. The
teacher, Mr Mizen told a press conference, said he was “not surprised”
to hear that Jake Fahri had committed murder.
Tom Crispin feels he has been misquoted. As Fahri’s only male primary
teacher, he says the comment must have come from him, although he has no
recollection of making it.

Errrm no it wasn't halfwit. 2/10 must try harder. Cwispin would do
much better if he learned to concentrate in class & not daydream about
bicycles.

Good - because you certainly do not know : breeze blocks are made out of
cinders and ash; it is quite wrong to say that they are concrete blocks - as
they aren't.


Are *all* psycholists liars?

"Dense" is the clue that they're not breeze blocks. Just as well,
you wouldn't want low density blocks for foundations.

So, Medwit was wrong, and building a log cabin on concrete blocks,
as I propose doing

No - you clearly thought that you were putting it on

Oh dear - Crispin fails again at the English language test.

I'm inclined to believe Ian over Deckwit.



Oh really - so you believe that "breeze blocks *are* concrete blocks" do you.

Well I wouldn't - because Smith is wrong.
