  1. It’s a fair one though Mick. The Beatles did some amazing songs, but I think about 90% of their stuff is shite.
  2. It does. If I need to jump start a vehicle more than once a day I would probably give up on life! It’s not particularly difficult to recharge a decent flat battery, and as Dan said if it’s bolloxed then go and buy a new one!
  3. Turns out I didn’t buy the Noco one, I knew it was £90 though! I got the Halfords own brand one instead, did zero research, total impulse purchase. Unlike me, I usually research purchases to a Mendiplogs level of due diligence! Time will tell if it’s as good as a Noco. 1300A for the same money, so I’m not totally gutted. Yet….
  4. Yeah, the vehicle you are trying to start needs to have fuel in it.
  5. Is that Aussie welder lad not still with you Bob? Or it may T-cut out?
  6. I’ve just bought the Noco 500A one after a persistent starting problem with my chipper. It turned out the battery was goosed so I bought a new one. I thought it would be a good addition to the glovebox, though, although I haven’t used it yet. Annotating the Transit and chipper for a jump start was a pita. Apparently this one will also start my truck if required. Just as importantly, I will never run out of phone or vape power on site again thanks to the USB ports! Handy for events like the APF as well. Torch seems ok. £90 from Halfrauds.
  7. Old, dirty, corroded and dangerous. Your lanyard set up looks ok though.
  8. That was actually a reference to leaf blower courses, but you make a good point WC!
  9. Seriously, we should all just flat out refuse to get involved in this kind of shite.
  10. You haven’t thought this through at all, have you?
  11. And Joyeux Anniversaire!
  12. Fair play Mick! Use it or lose it!
  13. Lions don’t feel thorns.
  14. Funny how no one ever gets full-on, old fashioned stinking colds any more. You know, the ones that have been around since we were kids. It’s all covid this and vaccine that these days. Thank God we imagined to eradicate them, though.
  15. I Whatsapped it to you. It’s a young persons thing. I’ve now messaged it. If that doesn’t work I’ll try fax.
  16. @Steve Bullman?
  17. Think that was nitrans. @Big Jwill remember.
  18. I’ve pinged his number to you mate.
  19. Just sent via Whatsapp.
  20. I’ve messaged him mate.
  21. You can either cut one of the splices off and use a knot to tie it on, or use a connector like a maillon rapide.
  22. If you can’t afford to feed your own kids then don’t have any.
  23. A bit wasteful? As in billions.
  24. Are homos not exempt then?
  25. It’s simple maths like Mick said. Look into it mate, this is exactly why the NHS is so f’d up. Someone supplying drugs to the NHS is making £9.65 - 40p (ok, 80p for 400mg). Talk to your doctor about it. If they don’t agree PM me.
