  1. Thanks Dan. It's ancient, and the diameter seemed to be a shade under 10mm, so I've ordered one in 1/8 BSP.
  2. Thanks chaps. Hadn't thought of putting a flexi hose and new coupler on mine, will see if I can figure out the thread etc. If not I'll look at the other suggestions. Cheers.
  3. Hi folks As above really. For years I've used an old all metal one my dad gave me, but it doesn't seem to grip the nipples tightly (ooh er!) and often leaks grease rather than getting it into the fitting. (Even if I fit new grease nipples and clear out old grease) It also leaks grease on to me. So I'd like a new one. Still manual, I don't do enough greasing to need electrical. But I'd like a flexible tube to the grease head - my current one is rigid and difficult to get onto awkward nipples (insert inuendo of choice here 😲), if wheel and chassis parts get in the way. Fuchs? Samoa? What do people recommend. Lower priced the better, this is for home use only not business. But I do want one that works well and gets the grease in properly. Budget £30 ish? Will that do? Thanks.
  4. Where did you buy them from, out of interest?
  5. Yep. I booked a chimney sweep a month ago thinking it would be warm enough and that I could keep the chimneys soot free until next winter. He came earlier this week, and now it's cold!

  7. Lovely and sunny. About time! Walked to the pub and had a bbq.
  8. Strong guess, Steve!

  12. I'm not quite sure what full sandspider means, and I'm a bit afraid to ask! Or do you just mean when I failed the ducker? Being synonymous with wordle failure is not the arbtalk fame I wanted!
  13. Mary Elizabeth Frye: Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die.
  14. Yep, I do that. Even though it doesn't matter at all!
  15. Did it in a rush and failed the ****************er!
  16. Yeah, I can still play. I am a bit curious to know how long my streak is, and how many guesses it takes me on average. (I've got competitive with a friend!) But probably not bothered enough to sign up.
  17. Yep, me too. They seem to be rolling it out. I refuse to sign up!
  18. I've made jerky in a dehydrator. I made about 250g worth (unmarinaded weight) which filled one shelf of the dehydrator. My dehydrator has 6 (or possibly 8 ) shelves, so could do a fair amount at once. It was really nice jerky, I should make it again...

  20. Its annoying. I don't want yet another Internet login, but I do slightly want to know how long my streak is
  21. Anybody else get forced to login to see their long term stats now?

  24. My start word is vulva. Lot of words have two vs in. Vulva, for instance.
