Sha na na na Sha na na na Hey ey ey Hornbeam

Thanks all for the replies; looks like it just got a bit more complicated! My nocturnal outdoorsing is for fishing mostly; that's sitting on the rods recasting a big feeder for bream fishing not the bivvied up sleeping with the rods out carp-trapping fishing, so I see and hear an awful lot of wildlife. Hedgehogs! fantastically noisy and unmistakable. And Munties: best description I had was like a small phlegmy terrier's bark recorded and played backwards. I was sleeping in the car in Wales once when a red-deer bellowed just outside the window. Which was somewhat unexpected! Thanks again Happy Days Yourn

Thanks DS I was just going to edit to add that any answers from any ferreters would be especially welcome.

New thread so as not to derail Gelster's wapsnest/badger thread. To which: Nocturnal animal screams in the woods. I had 'always thought', because that is what an old boy told me when I was young, that those screams you hear when out at night were the screams of a rabbit as he was being had for supper by a stoat. I'm now beginning to wonder if this is true. Because I've watched a stoat pick up a rabbit and no scream. Only once, not saying it doesn't happen ever, just that it didn't when I saw it. And because in Patrick Barkham's book Badgerlands (and others )he speaks of the screams made by adolescent badgers for no particular reason. And I've no reason to doubt this. So. Rabbits? Badgers? Both? I want to keep scientific so make it clear whether you have seen with your own eyes a rabbit scream when picked up by a stoat or whether like me, someone told you when you were very young. Or whether you have seen lots of rabbits picked up by stoats (or foxes) and never seen one scream. Or if you think it is badgers and badgers only . Or if you think there are two screams and one is badgers and one is rabbits. I think that covers it but feel free to add anything else you think might be of interest. Ta YNH

I work on the principle that most companies buy most stuff in and the companies that they buy stuff in from also sell the same stuff to other companies for other things and that it's just a matter of matching it all up. You'd think in this day and age you'd be able to go Dolmar 100 oil cap >thread is xxx >thread xxx also found on yyy Here's to Contingency and I-Might-Want-That-One-Day! And boo to What-Do-You-Want-That-For

Little while back, maybe on Pet Peeves, maybe elsewhere, someone mentioned the lost chain saw oil filler cap syndrome and the dribble down the leg of shame. Well a friend of mine had the same thing recently; no sign of the oil cap whatsoever. Gone. Tried a few odds and ends and various sticks and was resigned to making something out of chewing gum or blu-tac. This was on a little dolmar 100; nice handy saw for close quarter work in rhodies and the like but has got an odd little filler cap only about 3/4" diam so unlikely to find anything that fits in the usual run of things. Tuesdayish I, er my friend was sorting through some bits and bobs and decided that that really old briggs & stratton engine that came off that really old mountfield rotovator which has since had a new engine fitted really could be dumped with no likely disruption of the natural order of things and apart from the carb there really was nothing worth taking off it. Let it go! Ah! old fashioned oil plug: be nice to have a spare one, so as my friend was draining the oil anyway before taking it to the dump my friend put the filler plug in his pocket. This afty, he put his hand in his pocket and took out the briggs oil plug and looked at it and a little light went on. This evening he went in to the spare room took down the dolly and screwed the briggs oil plug in to the dolly chain oil hole. Only bloody fits! I mean not maybe or ish it's a perfect bloody fit! A sacrifice to DIN the god of standardization is in order methinks. Happy Days Yourn.

That is... I mean someone actually sat in a meeting and said... And someone else must of have said yes let's And no-one said ffs this is a pile of old cock no badger in its right mind is ever gonna... No, you're right: believe that not do I.

Google Image Search Shows a number of bendy jobs

Oh!

I'm not equating anything. You said there wasn't; I did two google searches that took less than two minutes and found that there was. If you are going to make claims of any sort at least do some basic research. Thankyou, my opinion is that you are lazy, that you make stuff up to suit your argument, that you don't research your claims and that you are an unreliable source of information. Happy days

Viz. Upper class: income from land or capital. Middle Class: income from owning means of production. Working class: slaves grinding at the mill. I guess most of us here would be journeymen in the old sense and I would imagine that that would make us working class. But then I'm a science and nature kinda guy: economics tent really my bag.

I think you'll find that's already been done mate. ETA: an 'e'

All covered; all good then. But check out the end cap. Bin the dust cover and use a mini cable tie. Much pull offing and onning can displace the tabs on those clothes-peg-spring connectors.

ching! what are you using between HT lead and plug? If one of those looks-like-a-spring-from-a-clothes-peg jobs wrap a mini cable tie round it to hold it secure or try and get something more plastic-moulded-cappy type jobby in there.

How are you checking for a spark? If plug-in with in-line tester: I've had a plug tester on a running mower show no neon light-up. If plug-out: I carry a jubilee clip + wire + croc clip contraption to ensure good earth to the body of the plug when testing with the plug out the hole rather than assuming that resting it on the head will work.

Oh dear lord forgive him for he has a cumquat for a brain 'No, sorry, homoeopathic treatment has a long history of success' -No it doesn't. -Just as things sometimes get better when you do nothing, so they also sometimes get better when you take a sugar-pill or some bat's eyes. This does not mean 'doing nothing' sugar pills or bat's eyes 'work' it just means that after a couple of days, some things get better on their own. 'Like all things medical, you need to know which remedy to take for what ailment, and when.' -Sugar pills and magic water are not like any thing medical let alone like all things medical. There is a clue in the description: they are water and sugar, this is not medicine. 'Consult with a classically trained homoepath...' -Homeopathy is tantamount to fraud. Ask yourself why the Advertising Standards Authority prosecutes any claim that is tantamount to to a claim to cure anything. It is Victorian snake oil. There is nothing Classical about it in any sense or meaning that is usually attributed the to word classical. 'Some things in this world are not yet understood by science, and maybe never will be. It matters not.' -Maybe. However, Homeopathy IS UNDERSTOOD BY SCIENCE and can easily be understood by anyone who does not have exotic soft fruits for a brain. Homeopathic recipes are water that has been banged on a leather block and had an incantation muttered within its presence. This is not difficult to understand and it has been understood since it was invented in victorian times. Sorry to rattle on but homeopaths take advantage of impressionable and vulnerable people and should never be tolerated.

With Iodine! 'People back in the days before antibiotics recovered from lost limbs, gunshot wounds, all sorts of terrible injuries.' Occasionally; there will always be exceptions, still, if you can call sugar without sillica 'sillica' I guess you can call millions dying and half a dozen surviving 'people survived'. But Mostly they died. At The seige of delhi and in the crimea they didn't even get to the gunshot/losing limb stage they just died. In their thousands. 'I will always promote the homoeopathic route', Please don't you are danger to to the wider community: homeopathy kills because it stops people getting proper treatment

I'm going to assume that this post is so obviously so utterly stupid that I don't have to go through it point by point and say WRONG WRONG WRONG.

It is difficult now to imagine what it used to be like in the old days - that people working on the land used to get a scratch and die. It's probably just as difficult to imagine what it must have been like when the first anti-biotics were developed and going to the doctor with an inflamed and infected scratch; and instead of being told to go home, put your affairs in order and make your peace with the lord, that 'ping' take this wonderful new medicine and don't worry you'll be fine. No really. And yet, now that we have forgotten what it used to be like and have not only reaped the benefits of, but become blase about, one of the most wonderful discoveries in the history of ever, we also seem to have forgotten that if you get an infected scratch you may yet still die. If you get an infected scratch and sepsis or some other bacterium gets to work, all the sugar pills and magic water in the world will not save you. You will die. Needlessly. If you get an infected scratch please, please, please ignore any idiot that suggest taking anything homeopathic for it and go to your G.P. who will save your life. Thankyou.

Ah! Gotcha. Much like how you would call a christmas cake that had no cabbage in it 'a cabbage'? I get that now. Not confusing at all really is it? Just lies, obfuscation and profit.
