  1. The crotch ripped as I did it (for the third time in as many weeks). Can't do anything with any confidence and the seamstress won't be told that a bigger patch is needed. Spent the rest of the day trying to keep my balls in, a mixture of smaller crane picks, a bit of coppicing and sitting in a National Trust tea room.
  2. Is the Makita right angle still the daddy? It pissed all over the Milwaukee one in a youtube video a while ago.
  3. Can you get drive keys for sailing winches that fit small drills? I haven't got the tin for a big right-angled one atm but want to get gunning. Bought this one but I suspect the hex is too large for gay little drills. 11mm or 7/16" by my eye.
  4. Soapy suds care of a facebook firewood wombler. I said free and two out of about twenty brought beers. Southampton. Noticed anecdotally greater (but not statistically significant) generosity in Birmingham. Never tried it further north. Anyone keeping tabs? Pun intended.
  5. Was that the £5000 one with the big bucket?
  6. What's wrong with that? The alternative is lorries running round collecting it. Steel, rubber, lead and acid, brake pads etc. And the people who drive the lorries have to drive to work. Same for the people who make the lorries etc. They could all stay at home and write poems instead.
  7. aspenbob should weigh in here. Arb endgame? Industrial oil dermatitis and outwardly-silent, inwardly-screaming despair.
  8. And once you've heard that, try the third album, Third. Worst nosedive since the fall of Rome.
  9. As you've said a million times before and as I might have been better off believing one of those times. Ho hum.
  10. I was like you for years, adamant I wasn't going to end up a principal contractor, racing to the bottom with every chancer etc. Aaaaaand now I'm doing it. One of those inevitabilities.
  11. I've just shut the door on a twenty-five year friendship because he became a taxman. These people need to starve, for friendship, in trade and ideally totally.
  12. Previous poor decisions don't need to cause future bad decisions. Ostracise people who so nakedly take advantage of people under the gun. They're the kid standing behind the bully, who hopes he'll get one of your sweets
  13. I understand you'll be sick of the whole exercise by now but remember that dolescum in gilets are still dolescum. If you can tick the box more cheaply, do so and spend the difference on a pitchfork.
  14. I've got all the above sorted but if anyone sees this and might fancy a (half)day at the weekend, please private message me with your mobile number and I'll have you as a backup.
  15. He who dares, Rodney. He who dares.

    Topical

    Take him for lunch, away from the melting pot of the workplace and have a fatherly word about it. It could be quite a formative experience for him and nobody need lose any teeth.
  17. Because you get put in prison if you don't buy what they sell.
  18. Are you using sheathed or unsheathed dyneema?
