  1. Steven, except he stands for the opposite of so much shite** that the Democrats support, and the visceral Democratic loathing and deamonisation of Donald Trump, tells me the DT is on to something. A breath of fresh air through the corridors of power. **Shite that the average ordinary working tax paying US citizens are tired of paying for through the nose.
  2. After a wonderful meal of eggs fried in home made chilli garlic oil, after first frying off some bacon then adding mushrooms and engame beans (young soya beans ) and a wheen o boiled pra-tas ( potatoes) I refilled the chili garlic oil bottle, wi a whole bulb of garlic and a packet of bird eye chili's. When the ratio of solids too oil gets too high, after draining the last dreedle of oil off as best possible we then fry the solids, generally with meat + vegetables of some sort and enjoy.
  3. Hi Sur, ah done and soldered, and wrapped wi tape, all is good, after I found an innocent looking and dry and clean but defective connector block in the engine bay. EDIT To say that while I worked at Wrightbus, I was intrigued to notice that the wires to the various roof mounted speakers, were soldered to the speakers, but these were the only wires that were soldered! And with the vast quantity of highly flammable cleaning and priming solutions used Willy nilly prior to applying adhesive, therefore "hot" work was strictly prohibited. But, hey, solder those wires. With a very cute Milwaulki (Spelling?) batt powered soldering iron. I asked why? But nobody had an answer.
  4. Thank you both. Soldering would have been my "go to" solution. But always open to new technology. Now where the back did I stash my shrink wrap sleeves, hmmm?
  5. As above, sorting out the rear lights on the 1984 G Wagen. After a boxxix( i.e. not me) "fixed" the rear door, and butchered the loom in the process, so various wires to extend, splice or join. Anybody want to recommend the best method or product. I was looking at heat shrink shrouded crimp type connectors on line, but have no idea re reputable brands or suppliers.
  6. Two legs of Irish lamb, carved off the bone, carrots, loads of onions, roughly chopped raw potatoes wi skins on, fried off in stonking home made chilli garlic oil, plus a full root of ginger and loads of added curry type spices. Somewhere between an Irish stew and a curry. Stonkingly good.
  7. Despite his apparent conversion to supposed far right values, he could not shake off that overriding Muslimness, which tells him, if in doubt when angry, target and slaughter as many innocents as possible
  8. I bought a pressure washer re-engined with a Loncin honda clone, absolutely faultless, easy started and easy on fuel too. No wile hours on it yet, but I suspect that will not be likely to be an issue.
  9. A skip, he shudders, but that would mean I would have to get rid of stuff.
  10. See image, I hasten to add, thon rear right hand corner needs a braver man than I to tackle. Today, anyway.

  12. First off to say that our Woodstove runs hot, in that I never throttle back the incoming draught, I dont need to since said draught is purely due to leaks around the improperly sealed door. But, per the post title, the vexed subject of people attempting to keep a woodside burning or smouldering overnight. Perchance I found the solution, put a solid round dry hardwood log on a bed of dying embers, and hap it up by placing a glossy magazine in over the top of it. In the morning there will be a coating of that white clay filled ash insulating the still hot, but oxygen starved embers beneath. Simple, innit.
