  1. Every time I look at the title of this thread I think of something else.
  2. That's when you use the other option, the brakes, but God forbid anyone should inconvenience the motorist. There are lots of narrow lanes round here and we get joggers, cyclists, motorists and horsists and everyone has to learn to get along.
  3. Yes, that and good hair and you're on the way to a job as PM
  4. Most painful part I found was when the nurse came to check the dressing after, she pulled back the sheet and laughed That really hurt. I was apprehensive because in pre op the bloke in the next bed section was being questioned and he had been the year previous and it had not worked. When the nurse asked him about his choice of anaesthetic he said definitely not local this time. The nurse came to do the questionnaire and as she pulled the curtain back the rail broke, fell on her head and knocked her out so she had to be carried out and another came to me. I had already opted for local and could not change it. We went into theatre and the preparation was about to start when the power went off, pitch black for about 30 seconds and everything went dead quiet till the generators kicked in. The surgeon asked if I was alright with a few students watching and I agreed, I'm not fussy and they started by me lifting the gown them putting a sheet over and pulling my tackle out through a hole, painting it all with iodine (I had shaved at their recommendation) then administering the injections. The sensation when they pull the Vas Deferens is weird and the first side was done then the second was started and the anaesthetic was wearing off. The surgeon noticed me wincing and administered another needle and started to cut again. One of the students said "It'll not be long now" and I replied "I hope he's not shortening it". All I can say is, don't make someone laugh while they are tugging on your innards. The year after my wife had to have a Hysterectomy so we could have saved them a job.
  5. 30 years since I had my vasectomy. I worked in a factory at the time and had one day off work. It took a while to provide a clear sample which was worrying but it all worked properly eventually. The thing they gave me was like a net bag you get with dried peas, I was impressed because they gave me a large. I only wore it for one day and soon replaced it with a rugby support, jockstrap which was much more usable and supportive. When I had my hernias done last year and this the hospital supplied me with the same type of jockstrap I had bought myself years before so they have learnt something in the interim.
  6. That's what you have a steering wheel for, to drive round things like that. Always face the oncoming traffic when on foot (unless there's a pavement then use that )
  7. There is some determination gone into that. Sorry to hear of the theft and the damage to the vehicle, how could that have gone unnoticed ?
  8. I've had a couple of £10 Walbro replacement carbs from ebay Hong Kong sellers and honestly can't see any difference from the originals and they have both worked perfectly.
  9. We were out on a delivery earlier this year and followed a new Range Rover with the driver in the middle lane with his phone glued to his ear, nothing new there but he was doing between 70 and 90 the whole time and we were behind him for about 70 miles and don't the new motors have hands free built in ? It annoys me that the police are not doing their job any more but relying on cameras for everything.
  10. Many years ago I watched a documentary studying brain wave patterns of people in different states and one that stood out was when they asked for people to go into a daydreaming state very much like the meditative state others were attaining. One example stood out as she was an old lady who seemed to be able to go into the state and out of it at will just sitting comfortably and when they asked her about it she said it was something she had always had the ability to do but as a child she used to get a clip round the ear for it
  11. I think pound trolleys are a good thing, Tesco near us doesn't have them and their trolleys are abandoned anywhere despite having a security wheel that is supposed to lock up if you go over the magnetic strip at the end of the car park. I hate it when people leave their no deposit trolley in a parking space after they unload it into their car and drive off.
  12. Always remember you are unique, just like everybody else Is a self like a mentalpiece where you put your stuff. (shelf and mantlepiece pun)
  13. Eating fat fingers ?
  14. We can all do as we please but we must also be prepared for the consequences of our action not blame someone or some set of circumstances for what happens as a result of doing what we please so some self moderation is required, some people don't realise this and never will because they are totally self centred. What happened to the original topic of this thread ?
  15. I was going to click the like button on this but now I'm not sure whether it would be right or not

    Stihl MS340

    It's same as a 360 isn't it? £200+ on eBay buy it now, dreamers still want £150 for an old 024.
  17. Is okay we've sat him on a plastic sheet this year and all the bedrooms are locked so he can't get into the wardrobes
  18. On the Derbyshire Times website there's an article about trees felled in a preservation area resulting in about £25000 fines. Sounds a lot for two trees or was it for not following the rules?
  19. I don't know about "is a witch" but she definitely "has a twitch"
  20. They made a TS500i cut off saw years ago but the technology has not got as far as chainsaws yet it's still in development. Petrol tech is being phased out in favour of battery power so they are probably not pushing it as much.
  21. You can get a 135 for £168. Practically the same saw but with 3/8 chain.
  22. Click the link in his name and it goes to the website.
  23. He's doing all the teeth from the same side, that's not how I was shown.
  24. Get a hole punch for the bolt holes and some scalpel blades.
  25. It's all back to normal now, something has gone right
