  1. They never made a nice Harley Davidson There's a reason it's been parked for months, they say that 95% of all Harleys ever made are still on the road. The other 5% made it home
  2. How were you holding the saw to melt the back of your glove. First thing you do with a saw is take the spark arrester off. You sound like you have a lot of bad luck with saws, for your sake don't try sky diving
  3. My bet is on an ash tree jumping in and pushing them both out
  4. Get somebody to press the brake pedal with the offending indicator on while you look at the lights (with the engine running or ignition on of course) Mine had a problem where the indicator would not work but when you pressed the brake the rear light flashed instead. I cleaned the earths up and the terminals in the lamp unit on the car and it cured it.
  5. Doesn't work with dinner, how can it work with anything else ? It's better to have and not need than to need and not have.
  6. When you give that extra effort do your pants get shorter ?
  7. They could have driven it down that bit of an incline, posers
  8. Reset your browser to default. That fake warning can occur on any page you visit not just arbtalk. Download Ccleaner and run it.
  9. It may be better if you start near the end instead of going straight for the middle
  10. I can't see any location mentioned for it yet either, it must be a top secret job. Put your location in your profile and give the prospective takers a clue. If it was round the corner someone might do it as a filler in job.
  11. Simple things that make life easier are always worth sharing. Job well done Chris.
  12. Suspicious white powder posted to a Scottish MP and a free other recipients according to bbc Sent from my KFFOWI using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. About £120 I think, £155 is about the maximum you get if you have 35 years NI contributions. I have 33 so will be £9 short but I can buy two more years at £740 each to make it up so in 13 years I will have got my money back, bargain.
  14. How can you be at your best and getting better If you enjoy what you are doing it's not like work so don't expect to get paid for it Seriously if you feel up to it why even ask for anyone else's opinion, only you can be the judge of your abilities.
  15. It's a special floor covering to make the trees stand out so they are easier to spot.
  16. It would stop opportunist thieves but not offer much resistance to anyone who came equipped for the job. A portable angle grinder to cut the end of the securing bar and it's out and away. Screwfix do a lock that covers the padlock for similar money
  17. Hailstones and sleet and black sky just started here, it's like the apocalypse
  18. Incontinence, mystery aches and pains, memory loss, bowel inconsistencies, deafness, eyesight weakening, memory loss Apart from that it's all good, oh! nearly forgot memory loss I think you'll find that's tinnitus Stefan, comes under the deafness heading
  19. No, [ame] [/ame]no, [ame] [/ame]
  20. Apart from that, what did the Romans ever do for us ? [ame] [/ame]
  21. If the clutch drum is a bit oval or your clutch bearing is dodgy it will catch. If it spins freely no problem.
  22. Does the clutch spin freely by hand with nothing attached to it ?

    oak oil

    Ikea does an oil for kitchen wood and it does the job nicely even though it has a stupid name. SKYDD treatment oil. We have a bottle and it lasts for ages.
  24. I've welded with oxy acetylene, mig, mma arc and tig and tig is nothing like gas welding. The fit up has to be good, everything needs to be scrupulously clean and the coordination is a lot more critical. I have a Kemppi inverter mig at the moment and a Stel tig which hasn't been touched in ages and I still have my Portapak oxy set but it is only used for warming stuck nuts and bolts these days or if I have some really thin rusty stuff to repair as it is a fairly tolerant process like stick welding. The mig gets used most and the gas is not a problem working outside just put a board up to deflect draught if you need to. You will not mig with pure argon you need an active element, co2 in the mix.
  25. There's some over the wall from us and I jump over and give it a shot when it is about a foot tall and again at the end of the season when it is powering up the rhizomes for winter and it seems to be working, I have it back to about 20 feet from the wall now. I'll try the washing up liquid in the mix when I go over again.
