What welders do people have ?, after doing some onsite welding I'm looking for something a bit more compact.

Are these inverter welders any good, I use an old school one that is 20years old still going strong.

Do these things rewrite over themselves or what?  I mean changing the memory card daily would be a pain in the arse

As far as I know it runs on a loop, so rewrites .

Nextbase from halfords, Dean had the 512 I think, helped him when someone smashed into him on two occasions.

They would probably split Steve, you could try soaking them in pva and hope for the best, or let them split and then cast them in resin and then sand. Then you can add photolumesant (sp) powder into the cracks to make it glow.

Word of mouth 70%
Facebook 15%
Website 15%

Would like to sort out website more, but to much on my plate atm. Thinking of advertising but not sure what yet.

I like the new site and think the upgrade has made it easier to use. Things I miss are knowing when a picture is attached in a thread and also hovering over a thread to give you a content preview. Cant seem to find those 2 things when looking at the "Unread Posts".

Having fought my way up through a right handed world, at school being punished for bad hand writing, in art classes inability to cut out shapes with right handed scissors, music lessons, show me a right handed violin, cello, flute clarinet, oboe.  Eventually bought a left handed Stratocaster in 1971 with a 10% premium. Bank cash machines, Carving knives tin openers, corkscrews, the list is endless.

Chainsaw course I had to relearn to use right handed but I still have to start it left handed.  .

I bought myself a long pole extension for the hedge cutting.  It was a Lidl special tool with chainsaw/Hedge triimmer /strimmer/blade strimmer and has been well made.

I was trimming the top of a thorn hedge when I thought I could smell something burning.  I thought that it must be the new paintwork on the machine but then it felt very hot on my left thigh and I looked down to see my jeans smouldering.  The exhaust was exiting on the right side of the engine and I had the engine hanging on my left side.  I now have a fourth degree burn mark on my thigh!

Good job it was not a few inches more the the right!

 

Seriously thought in these days of safety being a priority, why are the major manufacturers not building left handed chainsaws and other equipment?

Lefthanders are 10% of the world population.

Because it will cost us fortune.......but I feel your pain

Never thought about this before , but how do you get on with a top handle saw ? 

Easy when cutting and chucking as your hands never cross as saw is in left hand  :-D

Well at least it keeps some peoples post count down .  if @eggsarascal can master it I'm sure others can try too.

Just chrome on android?

I use Firefox on Android and all is fine.

Nope  - this new layout is way too cluttered to deliver what I want from a forum. You shouldn't have to struggle to do what was once so simple. I'm on a pc , so screen space is not an issue, but the layouts are simply too cluttered.

I worked in IT for 30 odd years & this is not what software is supposed to be like for the end user. I'll look in occasionally over the next few days, but it's just too much hassle for what is supposed to be an enjoyable experience.

Toodle Pip!

 

If you've been in IT for 30 years how about something constructive to say, apart from this cluttered crap.

To me it's mobile friendly and even better on the PC, yes there's adverts on the mobile version to which might make it slightly slower loading than the app, but plenty of times I've wanted to use one of the companies advertising when using the app. So no difference really.

So toddle pip.

I think the old site showed members locations but they are not showing now.

Is this turned off or did it never show it anyway?

If you click on their avatar it show info about them.

Thanks for taking the time Daniël, the video did work. It is exactly the same for me up to the point the 'click to choose files' turns red, then nothing happens for me....

Im using Firefox, off now to try a different browser...

I've unclicked request desktop site on Firefox for my mobile much easier to use. Press the top right 3 dots then list.

Maybe something like this Joe, this is just the bag but you can adapt it your way.  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Heavy-Duty-First-Aid-Kit-Bag-Empty-/231732463451?hash=item35f454c75b:g:XZkAAOSwyZ5UoGW~

I have this as a standard kit in the van.

Looking good, liking the fork.  Makes me want to dust off my carving knives.

Don't know if it's been mentioned but I can hardly see the text which describes what someone has said ie when reading unread posts. The text is white so very hard to see, this is on my phone in both mobile and desktop version.

Think you need to go to specsavers.

Really like this layout on my computer, is the app now obsolete ?, Is there an app or widget for the new site instead of going through firefox on my phone all the time. @Steve Bullman

This it the Tories evidence

You can apply for gross payment status when you register for CIS. This means the contractor won’t make deductions from your payments and you’ll pay all your tax and National Insurance at the end of the tax year.

My mum couldn't find parking in the staff car park, so used the hospital multistory. Had to get ticket as permit for staff parking , got parking fine for working way over her shift. Even tho you could see her permit sticker.....parking company told her to piss off basically.

Should parking for staff be free...yes, but if you have to pay supply ample spaces.

It can be cut out and replaced with a new piece.

I don't think it would. I live in an old house with old sash window. On windy days I can experience a 4 knot headwind walking down the hallway [emoji38]

I know that feeling my sash windows are like 10ft tall.
