There's a workshop where I keep an old electric kettle, jar of coffee, few teabags, powdered milk, to make the odd brew. Fill the kettle up from the standpipe outside. Never bothered taking the lid off, just fill it through the spout. In winter the standpipe was frozen, so was going to fill the kettle from a bottle I had, and use some of the water to unfreeze the tap. Took the main lid off the kettle..................... and found a cooked slug inside God knows how many months that had been in there Now I always take the lid off the kettle.

Oh and sometimes on a weekend or going away etc I will do the flask of hot water, separate milk, tea bags, jar of coffee etc - posh innit

We've deffo had flask threads before on arbtalk, and I'm sure cleaning flasks has been mentioned within! I'm lazy, normally I either make a pot of tea, then pour it in the the flask with milk, or really lazy is teabag, splash of milk, then boiling water, so the teabag is in there all day. It gets washed every night, with a brush inside. Every few months or whatever it gets a deep clean with soda crystals, left to soak in it over a weekend with hot water. https://www.google.com/search?q=soda+crystals&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB917GB917&oq=soda+cy&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0i10i433j0i10i512j0i512j0i10i131i433j0i10l2j0i10i433j0i10l2.2183j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 You can use persil/etc instead, but it takes a few washes afterwards to get the laundry powder smell out.

Just out of interest, what's the details on it, and what's it worth now?

When do folks think Diesel will be £2.50 per litre, now it's £2, then £2.50 seems a nice milestone!

Keep up Steve, it's a new poster and he digs up an old thread about bitcoin to post a link to a polish crypto website

Fookin hell!! Would that be a gas main? Looked like he was putting that last post in really deep?

Link doesn't work, which is a shame as you usually post some good videos!

I was about to post and say RIP to Steve Wright, I often listened to his show. It must've been a sudden death as he was on the radio just recently. Maybe a heart attack or a car crash? Then I googled it, and it's turns out he's not dead.

Get the widest mower that will fit. Have a look at ex council type walk behind machines, you get them in sizes like 28/30/32/36/48" (and beyond...) Ideal for rough ground, paths, infrequent cutting etc. I like cutting grass, but if you can do it in less time, why not.

Petrol mowers - why do people tie the pull cord to the handle bars?
scbk replied to carbs for arbs's topic in Landscaping
Yes I would be worried parking any of my machinery or vehicles on that incase it dripped oil! Looks like the paving has sunk slightly were the wheels run. Is it not mainly the travellers who leave patterns in the blockwork like that? Calling card -
Petrol mowers - why do people tie the pull cord to the handle bars?
scbk replied to carbs for arbs's topic in Landscaping
Unless the mower has a clutch on the blade you need to hold in the dead mans handle to start it, hard to do that from the side. The kaaz mowers have a tread area on the side of the deck to put your boot on as you pull start it from the side. ps I thought this was gonna be about when the recoil goes in the starter and you wrap the starter cord off somewhere on the handle till you fix it -
Have you got any husky battery tools already? Might be worth buying the mower bare, then a better battery and charger, more future proof? You could run chainsaw/strimmer/blower/hedgecutter/polesaw etc

How come the other guy doesn't get covered too? He is just as close It's fake, you can see the cut line in slow motion, made me laugh though!

It's only useful if you ever come to sell, but I wonder how much more the house would be worth if it came with a larger garden, I think I would want to buy the land before someone else does

With electric single phase, you only have 13amps to play with. All hydraulics have a compromise between power and speed, you can never really have both. If you're good with an axe it will be faster, but you need more room to work, an electric splitter would be handy inside a shed for a rainy day. I would spend a while watching videos on youtube, maybe even hire an electric splitter if you can

My splitter would get in, but the transport to South England would be a bit much

Monkeypox to get a new name, says WHO WWW.BBC.CO.UK There is an urgent need for a non-discriminatory and non-stigmatising name, scientists agree. Anyone want to play a game of name that virus? What about Poxy McPoxface? Apeshit Pox? Covidpox?
