  1. Aye. I'm hedging by also guessing she's just got it shut down too much.
  2. I reckon your wood ash is stifling your coal and your coal ash is stifling your wood. Clean it out and try one or the other for a couple of days.
  3. I generally find it puerile and cringey when people say, "I'd have had him over the counter!" but the entirely proper thing to do to in that situation is put the perpetrator to death.
  4. Never considered it. Road fabric is the stuff that has always particularly offended me. Black stuff three or four metres wide that people put under whatever to fines to make a track.
  5. I nearly said expanding foam too. They’re not necessary. They’re just evil. Plastic underlay under aggregates is another thing I have in my sights. I’ve never found anyone who can give me a satisfactory explanation for what it does other than cost money, rip and be a wasteful mess to extract.
  6. Based on microplastic particles 0.05mm long, wide and high (as per article) half a standard mug would be solid plastic. Busted.
  7. I vowed a few years ago to audition builders by asking (apparently offhandedly) what brand of silicone sealant they used. If their response was anything other than, “I don’t use that idiotic bodging shit.” they don’t get hired.
  8. Label your picture with what you’re calling the actuator and control.
  9. Go the whole hog, dress up and make them smell the glove. Best done at night where neighbours present.
  10. I have a box of yoga blend so acrid that I have demoted it to "incense, automotive grade" and use it to detect intake manifold leaks.
  11. Good username. You haven't sharpened it enough. For example, you need to take about a quarter of the tooth in top picture off.
  12. What made it cost effective for you?

    Sheep

    Tell you what, Zaman. I can help you make your decision with a role play. Send me your phone number. I’ll call you whenever I fancy and roll a dice. 1. Your sheep has died outside my house. Can you come and pick it up. And can you mend your fence so more don’t get out. 2. Your sheep has died outside my house and taken a Vauxhall Corsa with it. Can you come and pick it up. And you best bring £2000 for the irate father of the girl who was driving the car. And can you mend your fence so more don’t get out. 3. I’ve just passed your field. One of your sheep has drowned. Looks like three others followed it because they’ve drowned too. I also spotted a hole in your fence. 4. It’s Colin from the government. We’re sending someone to shoot your sheep. Here’s the bill. 5. It’s Jenny from the vets. Can you pay your bill please. 6. It’s me, Zaman. I’m at the hospital and at my wits’ end. The kids have got worms from one of your rotten sheep. I’m leaving you.

    Do you have lots of time, money and peace in your life? Do you want less of all of them?
  15. Go battery. They're better than you think.
  16. Does are robbers and Stihl are better anyway. I think the 231, 241 and 251 hit a very sweet spot in the toss up between displacement/power and weight. The 211 is a noteworthy step down. How much firewood do you do? Tonnage or volume per year and usual diameters.
  17. I concur with gand and matty. Have a breakable one for predominantly used, lighter saws and have big saws on a biner straight to a gear loop. You’ve got more time and less mess when you’ve got to bigger saws.
  18. Little brass drain bung underneath. Make sure there’s 100psi in it before unscrewing. See my recent post on this subject for further edification.
  19. You can get 2 in the mag but they spaff out everywhere. One in the mag feeds well. Using two and a halfs, mainly because it’s never occurred to look any further towards the back of the safe. Not looked at the proof marks. Even if I’ve got some three inchers, I won’t bother. It’s not a serious shooter.
  20. Intentionally forces branch agnostic. My brief googling suggested that the army and air force were supplied with them white to dye them their chosen colour (green or blue respectively). I don’t necessarily believe that but it aligns symbolically with my general disdain for state property ownership, the notion that it has never suffered the indignity of sovereign service. I was considering dying mine yellow with turmeric but it turned up painted rather than bleached canvas so not sure it’d take. Plus in white I can more easily see which log stack I’ve left it against.
  21. 410 conversion. Hoping for a pigeon over the log crates I’m fettling.
  22. Does your Brittany bike have a scabbard for baguettes or are you sufficiently assimilated to carry them in your sweaty armpit? I was riding a friend’s Tricross yesterday. Streetfighter’d with appallingly wide flat bars. A town weapon.
