  1. Make sure it's the top half and not the bottom half Mark you don't want this happening.
  2. If I did have golfer's elbow I wouldn't admit to it in case anyone thought I play golf. I had injections for tennis elbow years ago but the only thing that helped was not doing what caused it which is not usually an option for most. A lot of "experts" frown on bandages and straps as causing more problems than they cure. I used to find the bag of frozen peas or corn was good for relief when it got painful.
  3. Nice, a penguin egg It had already started to hatch as well. And a useful touch up set. Can't wait for episode 4
  4. I thought it was a Witches broom like you get in the Birch trees, honest. I catapulted one a few years back trying to get some Wrens that were nesting in the Clematis down the garden. If you get one the others come to see what happened. I watched one trying to get into a conifer with collared doves nesting in it and the doves just flew straight into them like battering rams.
  5. At a foundry I worked in one of the blokes used to ring in every so often and always used the excuse that his wife had fallen downstairs and broken her leg. The gaffer asked him after the fifth time if he was married to a spider and whether he'd considered taking the stairs out and fitting a slide instead.
  6. Used a couple of tanks of Aspen in the 135 today and it's going really well. I had to tweak the L screw originally but now it starts without using fast idle when warm which it would not do on petrol mix. It just got put away as it was but I'll clean it tomorrow and top up the bar oil and it will be fine till next time.
  7. Yes but they do pronounce it cacky, not like we do, car key and khaki was from India where it did originally mean "cacky" Two nations divided by a common language and all that. If aluminium was to fit in with other metal names why do we have platinum not platinium ?
  8. Tories have given anyone on £1,000,000 plus a £100,000 tax break already using the excuse that they would have lost this through tax avoidance anyway and have cut tax credits to working families on lower income so they are £1000 a year worse off.
  9. I've got some red gloves like yours
  10. A friend of mine had one as a shooting wagon and it never got near 30 mpg mostly nearer 20 mpg.
  11. Metsaman's videos show some good results for a cheaper option and the test on his SJ4000 WiFi camera look impressive.
  12. Anybody who is pre madonna is far too old to be climbing Prima donnas are another matter entirely. Ask your boss why the new guy is worth more than you and if you don't like it tell him. It's no good listening to other people's opinions and fermenting over it.
  13. Me neither, Tories are only interested in banks and lining rich folks pockets by privatising everything and selling to their cronies. Ukip are just in it for the laugh and expenses.
  14. Happy Easter Metsaman, did you have to buy your own eggs ?
  15. Cheapest I've seen is £518.40 plus delivery with 18" bar on mad4mowers in Sheffield. I definitely wouldn't be paying £500 used on ebay.
  16. A lad down at the local fishing pond has been given the job of clearing and removing debris from the brook that feeds the pond and sorting the trees alongside. It was awarded by the Borough Council he told me when I was talking to him a couple of weeks ago. I didn't ask about the money side but he just seems to be doing it as a filler job or when the weather suits him.

    Pay

    Lying Scouser, can't trust him. I don't know where that list is based but fork truck drivers are classed as labourers everywhere I worked not on £20,000 plus.
  18. You can identify a blown one by looking at it from the side, if the wire is broken where it goes thin it's blown. Look where the number is printed on it.

    My accident

    Is one of them reading over your shoulder I've only ever spent a couple of nights in hospital and I couldn't wait to get out and back home you have my sympathy. I rang my wife and said come and fetch me and she said " they have said you can go home haven't they ?" Good news on the breathing side, little victories and all that.
  20. It's been on before, someone commented on the damage to the decking
  21. Yes you can
  22. I wear one as a balaclava under my bike helmet. It keeps noise down as well as neck warming.
  23. Round here the council lads turn up and take the big bits away and chip the rest into the hedge bottom. If you can get there before them it just saves them some work and nobody seems bothered.
  24. 50mph gusts today according to BBC and it certainly fells like it. Scattered showers as well but the sky is blue at the moment.
  25. If it's generic it's part no. 9074 478 3076 Pan Head Self-Tapping Screw IS-P4x19 which seems to fit everything from 024 to MS380 but any coarse self tapper would do the job just need a different screwdriver.
