  1. Just change the box in the middle for that of a tank 🙂
  2. A Mr Alfred did very well out of it. I wonder if the Russians have turned off their GPS in the area, Glosnass or if they'll be kicking off about them using the EU or American GPS.
  3. The Australians had been supplying cardboard drones, think they were like 2k each. Which seemed a bit expensive as that's without any of the electronics.
  4. Sasmo probably sold out and became Laimet, even the same model numbers from the 1980s. Great chippers as they produce very little fines but by god do they need some HP to lift and drive them. Did look into importing the little PS model, expensive to be honest and probably a HSE ball ache.
  5. Local metal guy should be able to knock one up in half an hour, minus the orange paint obviously. Jebus, £106 ex vat

    Whilst stomping you're feet for attention in Asda?
  7. I was more taking offense at being called a colonial power. I know enough of history to know there is always good and bad. I look especially at Afghanistan and most of those countries, whilst for example Gaddafi/Saddam was bad they did atleast keep things in check. Maybe if they had continued for another 20 years, rotating out the hard core fanatics could have led to democracy.

    Maybe the narcissism is more learnt from these media whores on social media. Gemma Collins & Joey Essex perfect examples, in the 60/70s they'd probably have been institutionalised for their own safety.
  10. Because to fight for ones country is to be a patriot as it's for the king not the government, to fight on behalf of another is generally considered treason. And the whole of Ireland was British up until independence, Northern Ireland was kept in the union. Begs the question why aren't you fighting then or you're European friends. And we as a country have given them BILLIONS. I could ask when was Ukraine stable in your mind, under the EU for 30years, 40 years of Russia before that, a terrible vegetarian before and then no doubt several despots before that.

    I wonder if Australia is more left handed, just thinking of all those prisoners we sent were actually just lefties deported to an island where the water flows down the sink that's in tune with there spac handedness.

    Nah, £90 a ton is probably the scrap price for a blown up tank, buyer collect obviously.

    I'd love to see a proposal for a blind trial. One group on the pills, the other corrected old school style. I'm not sure we can write flogged on government paperwork without sounding like an episode of Sharpe.
  14. There was an interesting documentary not so long back, it's effectively Phillips and optical people like Zeiss who are working at the edge of what's possible as they're having difficulty getting the light to focus. From what I've seen China, Russia etc are using older tech for chip production, just means it runs hotter and less efficient but you just add more chips to achieve the same end results. Moore's law has been pretty much a brick wall, it's partly why the GHz remains similar but the cores increased including 64bit processing.
  15. Isn't that also a bark box on a new saw ?

    Diagnosis doesn't equal an increase, think of the the celebrity types saying they have these learning difficulties in their 40s. I was always told when I did a bit of work in SEN, everyone is on the spectrum to some degree. The real question is, is there an increase in the ones that can't lead a normal life, with the exception of marrying your cousin problems.
  17. Someone gets a happy ending, not sure if that's you tho.

    That was the 1998 fella, bit like the lies about low fat/fat free.

    Think that was more chicken pox wasn't it ?. I'm 41, so regardless of the news I had all the childhood jabs. My parents and grand parents knew the importance, bit like the polio jab. They all remember the bad including the deaths, so it was a easy decision, possible death or making me a bit slow (jury's out on that). The MMR was linked with autism.

    It's not the COVID jab that caused a big down turn, it was that disgraced MMR fella in 1998. Which was shown to be flawed, yet the NHS didn't check the records afterwards whilst most of the kids were still in secondary/college education and those people are now having kids without herd immunity.
  21. More spaghetti maker
  22. Just looks like a very low rent laimet.
  23. And buy yourself a pack of dowty washers.
  24. Realism my boy realism. Unfortunately the yoof of today who seem to obsessively follow and stress about world events. You need to know enough about the world but also know what you can and cannot change. You didn't see the general population running around during WW2 or the cold war, it's Fear Porn and people get addicted to it.
  25. That's not to say they're bad, most companies will outsource metal casting as it's an art form in itself. You spec what you want and they do a crucible worth usually by weight, you're not going to keep a foundry running 24/7 making a few axe heads. Can't remember if the Swedish axe guys had the preformed lumps done at Sedenborgs or Monsteras and then they shaped and finished them.
