It can be tough to make ends meet with rising prices especially at times like Christmas. So here's a little wheeze to save a few bob. Christmas cards. If one writes them in pencil the recipients can rub the words out and use them again next year, or indeed again this year if they're sent them off early enough. If everyone did it, what a saving, they could be re-sent like this indfinately until they end up in tatters anyway. Shame nothing can be done about the outrageous cost of postage stamps though, but I'm working on it and will report back in due course. The same could be done with the envelopes if you write them in pencil, peel the stamps off and tuck the flaps in instead of sticking them down. Bizzard.

Ah yes, I did that more recently when a cumulative update wouldn't install and was again slowing my pc right down, it fixed it and Microsoft eventually removed that update, it became famous, thousands were in trouble with it. I didn't know about the reinstall for the Malwarebytes defender clash issue.

That might have been the reason, to flog me a new W10 install.

Be aware though. About a year ago my laptop began to slow up drastically. I began the usual search for the trouble, even contacted a Microsoft company geek, who took over my pc to search for the trouble. Thats really weird watch you pointer going through all your files. When he'd finished he said '' Shucks, Oh my Gud I can't find anything wrong, I suggest buying and installing a new W10. Oh My Gud, I thought. by now my PC had almost died. I went through all my files and then one by one uninstalling likely programs that might have caused it. When I uninstalled Malwarebites, bing!!! all came alive again. This performance took me two days to do cos the laptop was almost dead. Oh my Gud was I pleased and that I'd beaten a Microsoft exspurt at it. Malwarebites was obviouslly interfering with W Defender and it didn't like it. I still have Malwarebytes on my old W7 pc though because it is very good.

Indeed if you never click on dodgy websites, even the ordinary porn sites are ok as long as you don't click on any sites on them. I only use AVG free, and never had any bother. My nephew who is a wachamacallit expirt says Microsofts defender is fine. Don't pay through the nose for the likes of Norton for nothing.

Basic Boat Liability Co is at Hatherley Rd, Sidcup, DA14 4BP. 0333 321 9430. I've been with them for years. I believe they are now using a different underwriter but otherwise the same.

I found ecoal ok. got it from The Range, Aldi and Wickes. It burned nice and warm but made a lot of ash, was easy to revive if nearly out. Had a fuel boat delivery this year. Excel, nice and hot, little ash, but harder to revive if dying. To counter this I remove the lower air control knob and shove my hair dryer against the apperture, bellows effect. Revives it quick time with sparks from the chimney. You can also dry your hair with it.

Go easy with a 9'' grinder, a bit hefty, hang on tight to it. A 4'' or a 4,1/2'' would have been better for starters. Cutting discs are probably the most dangerous, Stones not quite so. Flap discs are rather nice. Depicted special attire for grinding in space.

Looks like it does, but it would rest on the wheelhouse and still be pretty high.

Sticks of Barley Sugar.

Unusual. Have you tried pulling the lever out towards you for neutral, which is quite common. They often need quite a fiddle and yank.

Let me hold your Palm Olive............................................... Not on your Lifebuoy.

They work well. I use to use them for fitting wing mirrors on car wings. Obviousely you have to drill a pilot hole first.

20/50 would be too heavy for the winter and would over load the starter motor on start up. Essex Motor Factors of Bishops Stortford are Morris agents from which I get oil for boats and for my car. 01279 653211. They would deliver if your not too far from them or may have other delivery methods.

Gelignite or thermic lance.

Thanks but that old 3g is cut off now, cancelled the contract. I have 4g sim card and donle now.

But to reduce the heat in this milder weather a couple of ordinary house bricks on either side will do the job.

Yes drills easily but what ever you do don't centre punch a start dimple, cast iron can crack like a carrot. stick a bit of tape over where you want to drill to stop the bit slipping about.

Baldwin filters made in Morocco. They seem fine and have a thicker heavier steel can than most.

Yes, it was the 4 1/2 volt 1289 battery we used.

Haunted, needs to be exorcised.

When I took my model steam loco to the track we'd all get up steam by placing a wee suction fan on the chimney top powered by a 4 volt battery which drew the fire up through the boiler tubes until there was enough pressure to use the loco's steam blower.
