Exactly. It's not a local.

It's mental. A man should be able to call into the pub for a couple of pints on the way home without it costing an eighth of his take home that day. People should be in regularly, keeping up with neighbours and local affairs. 16:00 - 19:00. £2 a pint. Lager or bitter. Possibly cider in summer.

It's in account settings, not profile.

He could try doing the same thing he did a few weeks ago.

I bought some excellent over centre ones for a trailer I built nearly twenty years ago. About four quid each. Brilliant things. Up there with my happiest purchases of all time. Come on then Pete. Goss goss goss.

For interest, the Pinto Rig 2 beckett is rated lower than the Pinto Rig's btw.

Dad's Volvo (basically a Ford) has reversing sensors with a beep that particularly annoys me. You can turn it off by pressing a button on the radio when you've slipped it into (reverse) gear but if you then come out of gear and go back in, the beep comes back. Drives me mad.

I'd come back to add that.

Then they can be easy enough to turn on, if you want them. You get into a hire car and it does shit like that by default. Miserable.

I agree with Stubby. These things are monstrously dangerous. They can turn a good driver from calmly attentive into a nervous wreck with knuckles white on the wheel, spending more brainpower on wondering what the car's going to do next than focusing on the road.

Is Toadie still in it? Karl and Susan must be dead by now?

The prospect of being treated by unvetted AI is terrifying. "Patient complained of worse hearing in left ear than right ear. Strapped him to a table and blew a horn in his right ear to restore balance."

That's going to make just about every conversation about everything in an arb day awkward and depressing. All we do is check the other person has secured something.

Come on @kram. We were making progress. And people watching might be learning something too.

Yeah. Makes sense. Sort of. You're still swinging a weight around though, whether you threw it or not. SRT makes more sense. Or just climbing (ideally with a pole) still makes quite a lot of sense. Whatever. As long as you're mindful of where the weight could bounce. Related story: As a child, I was obsessed with grappling hooks from seeing one in the Gibraltar scene in The Living Daylights. I collected bits off ploughs from nearby fields, tied them to washing line and swung from trees with them. My mate, Robbie came over one day. Big lad. He went for a swing. The bit of plough came out of the crotch a good thirty feet up and pinged right into his head. Blood everywhere. Lucky to not be killed. Do recall his dad being annoyed. Don't recall how much he came over to play after that.

This too. My throw weight for a short while was a ball pein hammer head. Let someone use it once, on their job, with fair warning and proper trepidation. That was bad enough. It now lives on the mantlepiece and holds a sock over the fire if I need to dry one in a hurry.

Springsteen is a fcking great writer.

Well they're not really a manufacturer as much as a sourcer/brander then. Which is fine. But reading between the lines it does look like a salesman from ISC looked at one of their products (Big Dan biner, a stalwart) and thought, "I know how many of those they sell and how much they cost to make. I'll get China to make them for less and clean up." Which is a bit sharp and not the sort of business I'd choose to deal with. Trade with Wales has its own problems but you can at least drive there and shout at them if there's a problem.
-
What Mike said.
-
This At Height lot need a bit of scrutiny. They've sprung up from nowhere, most noteworthily offering a biner that looks a lot like an ISC Big Dan. And I can't for an instant imagine why ISC would be licensing or OEM manufacturing for them. And they've sold kram some bizzare aspartame chrome plated cambium saver ring.

I bet you’re extra sexy when you’re angry. Say GRRRR for me, baby!

Never heard of them. Assume a dead thing? Would be proud to posthumously proceed over it.
