    The springs are like that to take out vibrations, if you put thicker ones in they won't work and you'll get numb fingers.

    Next time you're cutting just put the thumb of your left hand on top of the top cover and feel what a pummelling it gets and you'll feel a bit more sympathy for the AV spring
  3. It's not classed as overtime for them they only get single time for it as it's their contracted hours. You can turn overtime down it you don't want it.
  4. Would that be prostate problems ? I have no problems getting prostrate PS I'm same age as Stubby and still like to look.
  5. Get some 6 point sockets so it doesn't happen again. If it's a 13mm head I would weld a bigger washer to it, something like M10 or M12 through the hole then weld a nut to that.
  6. It's carried in suspension, that's why it is deposited and not carried away as a liquid with the water. Here's a safety and health guideline document, read item 7 under chemical and physical properties.
  7. I'll probe you ?
  8. I've made a few PVC whistles out of overflow pipe from plans on this site. The mouthpiece will be different for a transverse flute but the hole spacings and sizes should be similar for similar size tubes whatever material.

    Leave some expansion room. A friend of mine laid his oak parquet tight up to the skirting boards and it lifted itself when it got damp.
  10. Our garden looks nice when it's under a coat of snow It's snowing Metsaman, we'd call that a blizzard here
  11. No more suggestions from me then
  12. I bet a squirrel planted it.

    How good is the spark and how much fuel is getting through ? Not enough or too much can be a problem and the air to fuel ratio must be right as well.
  14. Calcium carbonate (chalk) is insoluble so I don't see how they could have achieved this.
  15. Cleanstore do a similar glove made by Mapa. I've had ordinary Mapa grip gloves and they are good.
  16. It should help with extraction

    Pigeons

    If you disturb them enough they do get the huff and go somewhere else. I had a flock on the roof and just kept throwing a tennis ball up and scattering them and they moved three doors up.
  18. I'd like a Dolmar 6100 but I don't need one. I like watching this video it makes me smile. [ame] [/ame]
  19. A few years ago some ne'er do wells were using the waste ground behind our house to burn old furniture and carpet on a regular basis. We phoned the local councillor and he came out just as the smoke was at it's densest and he called the police on the spot. They were made to put the fire out and served with an injunction not to light fires anywhere in the area on pain of financial penalty. They lived round here a couple of streets away and a bloke I worked with at the time also had the police to them as they lived across the road from him and were burning insulation off wire in a chest freezer, it looked like Dante's inferno round there and the smoke was toxic.
  20. After it gets so big nothing grows at the bottom then it looks like a row of trees too close together.
  21. One of those gas powered burners for weeds, they have them in Aldi and Lidl on offer sometimes. You could do flambés to go with your gourmet lunch as well.

    eBay

    The final selling fee on vehicles is 1% with a minimum of £20 and a maximum of £30, you must have listed it in the wrong place That is for private sellers, it's 0.9% with a minimum £17.39 and a maximum £30.43 for business. A friend of mine sells a few motorbikes on there and he does alright. No final fee on classifieds.
  23. Years ago a very proper middle aged woman came to my friend to ask about a job and his golden retriever was very interested in her pushing his nose into her crotch. Her words " I bet he can smell my pussy" we all has to disappear quickly and leave his missus to take the details.
  24. Which of them is most like the saw you want ? Get rid of that one.
  25. Does it pull over with the bar and chain removed ?
