Another one totally ignorant of how the Scottish system works. And yes I contributed a huge amount towards all of them. You ignored the article and focused on my financial situation. The anonymous one would be proud of you. No I don’t think the state should provide it especially not for foreign students which was my point all along. Come on lad keep up ffs.

Name the ships then. Who’s Davy

Well I wasn't at swans but my first seagoing ship was but my mate cloggy was on her from crewing up, does that help? D88. I'm in this photo but he'd left but rejoined a year or so later so isn't, I'm next to Davy.

They could have gone to university in Scotland, where you live, where there are no fees. Plus, you can probably afford to cover their university fees until they start earning money. Unless you think it should be up to the state to provide degree level education to those who are suited to it? I have seen loads of doctors from all parts of the world, and their unifying factor is that they want to help you get better. NHS is in a bad way, more doctors get a thumbs up from me.

That was another thread and for what its worth I was disgusted by some of those comments.......this is about it spilling over into another thread, nothing more.

FFS It was a straight question you daft old bugger. Why ?? Curiosity and the fact my best mate is an ex Stoker who cross branched to become a clearance diver, current project I’m on has 5 ex CDs also when I started diving I was up at Swan Hunters on many occasions doing work on a number of Royal Navy, RFA and BAS vessels, in particular post launch surveys. You barked before thinking didn’t you 😂

would that be those who gloated over the murder of Charlie Kirk, or those that mourned his demise.

You trying to call me a Walt? Don't even think about it.

Flash bugger! We were too tight to shell out for the exorbitant price of a Stihl.

Why?

Tell you what BQ I try to avoid talking to fools but changing the topic slightly what ships where you on whilst in the senior service.

First students evacuated from Gaza to study in UK APPLE.NEWS The group includes at least four medical doctors who have places to study at UK universities. Good to see UK taxes are being put to good use. I’m sure the 3 of my kids who went to uni and incurred huge fees would have loved to have been given a fully funded position.

I recommend getting an Imax B8, B6 or the various off brand clones (of a chinese item). This is intended for RC lithium charging but it will also do a very good job of lead acid, telling you exactly how much charge has done in, how much was in it with a discharge test. Generally Pb batteries are over rated abot 4x becuase of the way they degrade, this makes them last about 10x longer than if a smaller battery was specified. I generally say if measures at 50% capacity its time to be aware of future problems. At 25-40% you can expect problems if you leave lights on or dont give it ample chance to recharge. Below 20% you should expect problems, keep a jump starter with you and consider replacing. However theres little point replacing one if it will be used once, left to discharge for three years and then need replacing again.

You love a bit of click bait, one person says... They helped our troops in Afghanistan!

not a chance, even I could hotwire it! thanks. I think the problem is that battery health is not linear and that even partially discharging it can cause damage. Its a new battery and I've replaced the rectifier regulator. The wider issue is my stator is weak - only about 15v to 33v AC (idle to mid rev), pre rectifier in each of the phases when it should be 18v - 60v ish. That said I am getting 14.3v - 14.6v DC whilst driving around which should charge the battery. I've put in a voltage meter and I'll keep it under review for a while and trickle charge.

It isn’t just the one. There seem to be a fair few windup merchants lately.

How so?

The 350 is/was ( obviousely ) a non pro saw . More a home owner type of thing . 353 was ok but the ( closed tranfers ) 346 was brill . The origional 346 with no de comp had a smaller engine than the later " silver side " one . 50cc .

Yes, it is , but 60uA is naff all in the real world. I don; tknow what capacity battery the Honda has but say it is 40Ah (not the CCA figure on the battery), so 60uA into 40Ah give full discharge in 6666666 hours or about 76 years - I suspect if your battery is going flatter quicker than that, then you have a dud battery or issues elsewhere.

Has it got a alarm/immobilizer?
