  1. I know a joke about that but I don’t want a warning from the mods
  2. I wondered who would be first... I reckoned it would be the beagle.
  3. Agreed. Also... we inherited two of those grabber-on-a-stick things when our parents passed away and one of them has been seconded to garden duty. It’s great for pulling up small weeds from the back of a bed without having to kneel and get your trousers wet You see litter pickers using them but weeding is much more fun
  4. Tried a hot glue gun? That’s often good for things like that.
  5. After all the rain we’ve had? Wow.
  6. It appears that the book may have been ‘Isaac Asimov’s book of facts’ https://www.amazon.co.uk/Isaac-Asimovs-Book-Facts-Asimov/dp/0517065037#productDescription_secondary_view_div_1523280522268
  7. Point of order: Volatile Organic Compounds. I made a load of informative videos for a bunch of companies back in the 80’s on this subject. I also read “Isaac Asimov’s Book Of Science Facts” in the 70’s (I think that was the title, he dedicated it from ‘The second best writer of science fact’ to Arthur C Clarke, ‘The second best writer of science fiction’!) wherein he explained the problem with CFCs and other VOCs and bemoaned the fact that no-one was doing anything about it.
  8. A bit more detail on that second one from the mfr’s website (and a much smaller link!): https://www.trackpack.co.uk/discobeds-kid-o-bunk-child-bunk-blue.html
  9. Probably cos he keeps it in between the sides Or maybe he works on Jags...
  10. That’s clever. I’ve never tried that but will in future Have a Greenie for the info.
  11. So perhaps ‘Ageing Hippy Don’t-Get-Around-Much-These-Days’ might be a more appropriate monicker?
  12. Why don’t New Age Travellers actually travel?
  13. Which asked for proof of something that had been claimed to have been done - an historical fact (or not).
  14. Or the engine has been replaced. Its bum is back down with the counter level with the water.
  15. Hmmm... £37 for what appears to be quite a complex moulding including moving parts doesn’t seem that bad to me in this day and age.
  16. Just a little bit more than a relay and a resistor on the board, I note...
  17. She replied... “Hi Tony. I thought my photo was taken walking along the Tardibigge lock system in Bromsgrove, a very beautiful but strenuous strip of the canal...” Then she remembered that... “Thinking about it, I did take some photographs whilst on a horse drawn barge trip from Tiverton so perhaps you are right.”
  18. No... I told you she couldn’t remember where she shot it
  19. How many times have you been able to video brown then? Eh? Eh?
  20. I stuck mine in the canal and all I saw was brown...
  21. What have they got to do with a brand new 12V fridge with electronic controls that was bought a few weeks ago?
  22. Yep, that’s the one I have. I have yet to find a really good use for it. The only time I used it in anger was when I dropped a nut into the engine bay of a car and it didn’t fall out onto the ground. The endoscope found it resting between a couple of brackets.
  23. Yes, of course there is It’ll be good for any simple load such as a heater, fan, pump, motor etc. It won’t be so good for anything with electronics which might get somewhat confused by the stepped input voltage.
  24. You forgot to mention the timer circuit that controls the relay. You also appear to have overlooked the fact that a small resistor in series with the primary winding of a relatively small transformer in a microwave would be singularly innefective in a 6kW soft start module controlling an 8hp motor.
