Hurry up, someone. The sherry won't last much longer.

I'm about to lash up a carbonara with fresh pasta. That means using four egg yolks and being left with four spare whites. I made zabaglione (under close instruction) years ago and I swear I did it with whites but the internet disagrees with me and says yolks. So what can I do with four egg whites and some sherry? Fold it into a stiff mix and poach was first thought but I fear it will end up a watery mess.

Joking aside, 5thelement is dead right. The answer is to have both the old school tricks and the new school tricks at your disposal and use whatever's best for the job. Sometimes a lanyard and a grimace is the way. Sometimes a load of extra ropes is the way.

No. Genuinely interested.

You explained some fairly major problems with it a few posts up. You clearly understand the nature of property and the impudence of being dictated to but you call for an infinitely funded provision of bureaucrats to dictate to private property owners in your next breath. And money is a weak excuse. There are loads of harmless jobs out there. Do one of those. So why do you consciously choose to put effort into something you know to be harmful?
-
You take pride in your work and, by extension, yourself. Why do you lend your power, name, reputation etc to a system you know is shit?
-
Pun aside, doors and windows are a great portal into the building world. They seem intimidating with all the moving parts and all the fear of seeping doom but you do one, it's a massive anticlimax and you start to realise that none of it is that hard.

Got talking to a bloke from Genoa in the supermarket earlier. He lived in Newcastle for twenty years. I nearly made a crack about the weather and masochism. Glad I didn't. I'd have looked so silly.

I suspected but can never tell with you, Mick. You're very dry.

Something like that. Bear in mind the top of the water won't be any lower though. Either the boats would need to half sink (and then refloat for the rest of the shallow sections) or the tunnel sections would need locks either side.
-
The low tunnels are a surmountable problem I'd have thought. I suspect slow freight wouldn't work here because of the various factors that push people towards money rather than wealth and happiness.

"Industry will retrench to men and horses." A line from one of my songs. Seems apt.

The last time I had a decent run of it to do I had a skinful the night before, hit it hard at seven something with a three-hour New York hardcore playlist in the earmuffs and felt amazing by the time I was finished at about ten. Just blasting at it through a headful of noise yielded zen. Brought myself back into the world with a quick bath and a massive BLT and felt great all day. Life presents you with this kind of profundity at the weirdest times, like when I found albion in a traffic jam on the M1.

Does two or three blades (tines?) make any difference?
-
Can you recommend a particular blade please.

I’m all for agonising over details to get the best possible setup for a given thing but fuel is just so simple I don’t bother. I have Stihl saws so I use Stihl fuel. If I had Husqvarna saws, I’d use Husqvarna fuel. If I had a different brand saw, I’d ask the manufacturer what they recommend and use that. Then if you have a problem with the saw, the manufacturer has one fewer foboff at their disposal.

Don't bung him £50 and do tell him to feck off. -
Strong kid but she's got the bar upside down. Amateur.

Lovely job!

Dig the feet in and/or anchor them with ropes. Test by setting the boom to maximum sideways, minimum up and bouncing. Aware you won’t get a lot of sideways low down on a compound boom arrangement but you do what you can.

Probably cheaper than contracting the money laundering out. Some ice cream vans sell ice cream of course.

Cheers. Can see the thread and video, just not the full size photo,
