  1. 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 ?
  2. 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.
  3. I've got some red gloves like yours
  4. A friend of mine had one as a shooting wagon and it never got near 30 mpg mostly nearer 20 mpg.
  5. Metsaman's videos show some good results for a cheaper option and the test on his SJ4000 WiFi camera look impressive.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Happy Easter Metsaman, did you have to buy your own eggs ?
  9. 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.
  10. 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.

    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.
  12. 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.
  14. It's been on before, someone commented on the damage to the decking
  15. Yes you can
  16. I wear one as a balaclava under my bike helmet. It keeps noise down as well as neck warming.
  17. 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.
  18. 50mph gusts today according to BBC and it certainly fells like it. Scattered showers as well but the sky is blue at the moment.
  19. 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.
  20. But do they run to the chipper carrying brash. Anybody had a week on the club with a broken flask yet ?
  21. Have a look at Lambretta and Vespa double ended flywheel pullers they look similar and are available for less than that one.
  22. Did anyone else think the bloke on the saw looked like a certain pie eater's avatar ?
  23. A bloke I worked with years ago sneezed and slipped a disc in his neck. He was off work for 3 months with a support collar. He was called in to the office to see why he was off for so long and he said the doctor said he might never work again. The manager asked why and he said "the doctor says I'm bone idle. I knew I was idle but I didn't think it had gone that far"

    Don't let your boss see this topic or you might be getting a drop
  25. The T screw is tick over and if you screw it out it will stop it ticking over. The H & L are set at what they think is optimal before the caps are applied and then any adjustment you can make is limited by the cap. Try turning the T till your saw ticks aver then turn the L anti clockwise to richen it a bit although it does sound like you have disturbed something cleaning it to cause the problem you are having. Did you catch the choke linkage when you removed the filter ?
