In the UK Halfords tools are not bad value and have a guarantee.

Re: Bargle nawdle zouss

MIG welders - no no no

I already have an Aldi air compressor, actuallly it is not bad at all, but is due its annual drain.

Re: F**k emojis

I still call them smilies

As to Text Speak, much to confusing, and I have seen text written like that LONGER than the correct word.

And a lot of them are actually things in their own right.

If I see B4 in a random message I ask them why they are on about British railway carriage bogies.

Corrected for you

The only reason, in my opinion, why Windows is widely installed across corporations is the WIN32 API

People don't 'believe it exists'

They 'know it exists'

Re: My best through the Blackwall Tunnel was

Think newer.

Think bigger engines.

Think world rally championship.

Think short stroke high revving pushrod lumps.

Re: My best through the Blackwall Tunnel was

When I owned a Scottish hot hatch* I had problems with warm hatches trying to race.

Best was when I hit first gear powerband at same time they hit first gear red line.

* unfortunately not the biggest engine.

Re: Haynes Manuals

Inaccesible parts.

I had this with last car.

I had to remove a cylinder head to do the thermostat. It should have come out but was stuck so head off.

Someone with same engine but transverse joked about it as it was an easy job for him.

Two words shut him up.

Cam Belt, on mine is was intake gumpf off, cover off cam belt accessable, his was done via a small hole in the wing.

Then 3 cam belt changes and only 1 thermostat.

Re: Scrap yards - the good old days

I got so many bits from scrap yards, so many my car went from bottom to top of range.

Ohh a rev counter dash!

I like those door pockets!

A rear washwipe!

First mod was engine, found out the second biggest engine had a different gearbox to the smallest.

Re: Haynes Manuals

Might be worth using Plus Gas rather than Water Dispersant.

Re: Bye bye Samsung

23 year old Bosch Fridge Freezer here

Re: Bye bye Samsung

The only Samsung products I have a really good opinion of are their old HDDs and their SSDs. They were excellent.

Their phones really annoy me, so much so I am prepared to buy my own phone to chuck work SIM in.

I do like Bosch kitchen stuff and Sony living room stuff.

Re: "Mobile" home?

That is the problem with static caravans, I would not touch one!

Re: "Mobile" home?

Caravans in UK

Touring Caravans - usually found behind large cars with families going on holiday.

Static Caravans - usually found in huge parks near the seaside, mix of rental and owned. Not designed for permanent use. Often aluminium sheet sided. Often shoddy and flimsy.

Mobile Homes - permanent homes of high construction standards. Often timber built. *

I grew up in a mobile home, much better made than a static caravan. At the time also by law better insulation standards than brick houses.

I also owned a tourer.

Like a bungalow with steps up to the porch.

* Mobile as in artic from factory to park, then LR from artic to plot, leave for many many years then get scrapped or sold on.

Re: It has to be the last option in the poll.

I have found a good way round this - cider, yum!

Sounds interesting.

Any particular ice cream?

Re: I am afraid the whole idea makes me feel yuk

>> but coffee and chocolate flavours go very well with stouts.

I do like milk and white chocolate but the other two urghh!

Re: I am afraid the whole idea makes me feel yuk

>> Luckily there is a wide variety of flavours to suit most tastes.

I quite like Budvar.

Stella used to be nice but something happened to it quite a while ago.

Re: I am afraid the whole idea makes me feel yuk

Bacon, sorry don't like it, it tastes to me very odd. I prefer pork as pork.
