    1. Khriss

      I bow to yr good taste Mr Stubby, K

       

      ( think you have had one  ?

  4. Good luck with every thing Sam . You will go far with your attitude and background .
  5. You bar steward ! ?
  6. Sam . Hi . I played Judo back in the 70s through to the late 80s . I got quite good playing competitive squash as well so had to give up the DoJo . ( no good trying to go for a tight drop shot if your legs are all bruised up ! ) Allso was a 9 ( in the club rugby ) The point I'm was trying to convey is if you are not gifted a premises and staff it could be frigging hard graft in as much as your life won't be your own .
  7. Got em all . At 68 I let the mechanical advantage take the strain . ( 2 X splitters ) ?
  8. If you have chain oil that is 7 years old then you are a lazy FC ! ?
  9. A friend of mine owns and runs Chichester cattery . He is an ex Chi rugby 1st team player and now takes part in iron man events and triathlons . His wife recently passed away and is sorely missed . She was a physio that helped me from time to time back in my Judo and Squash playing days . But to get to the point I see him out and about training for this and that on a regular basis . You could not meet a nicer bloke . BUT he owns the place and has staff . My cat used to stay there when he was alive .
  10. It won't separate if its mineral oil . ( nothing to separate ) but it will b e subject to ambient temperature . Viscus when cold runny when warm .
  11. Interesting work Andrew .
  12. Years ago I was with a bunch of mates and one had an old revolver loaded with " roll your owns " . He was shooting at a target pinned to a straining post . After a couple of shots he got a misfire . He lowered the pistol to inspect the chamber and it went off . They were very low powered home loads but the round still went through the top of his foot and got deflected out of the side . He pull his trainer off and then the sock and the slug was in the sock . I said he needed to go to A+E . I suggested he told them he had put a fork through his foot whist gardening . They dressed the wound no questions asked . He wore the bullet round his neck on a chain for a year or so . The pistol went down an old well .
  13. FMdead . I know , I know ! Its COST . You persuade them , please !
  14. Again . cost . and yes you can " imagine it " but imagination is free .
  15. I hear you but they ( the manufactures ) are in business , to make a profit . If they did what you suggest a , say Husqvarna 562 would cost considerably more to buy and then they might not get the same return .
  16. You can " blue print " any engine from selected production parts but this all adds to the cost and time . Because it is not viable to do this cost wise manufacturing tollanences have to be opened up slightly to allow for random assembly . Hence not everything is nessaserily at its optimum .
  17. The above is the cost bit . I never said it was not possible .
  18. Its to do with manufacturing tolerances against cost .
  19. Don't take notice ( other than as a reference ) any old books that show " flush cutting " and painting wounds ( the norm when I started ) . Its all moved on from there Sam .
  20. As I was typing I thought he would be strait in with his specialforcesnijaI'vdroppedbiggerblokesthanthat shit . And waddayou know !
  21. I knew it , I ****************kcing knew it !
  22. Accelerator pump piston has a lot to answer for mate !
