bagpipes331 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Yes there was a piece in Private Eye once about that happenning after someone got a live hamster stuck and his friend looked for it with a lighted match. After the resulting explosion the hamster came out so fast that the friend's face was bady cut and both gentlemen had to go to hospital. It all happenned in Utah. From memory I believe that the activity they were engaged in was called Felching but on the grounds of decency and taste I will say no more. It was however a very entertaining news story to read. Jamie Just where do you find this stuff?????? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Jamie, it's bad enough that you purport to know what Felching is. I will have to report you to the committee. Mind you, they're just as bad....................... Personally, I have no idea WHATSOEVER what the term refers to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I go to London by train (a few times each year) I usually buy a copy of Private Eye to read on the way home. That snippet from one was so bizarre and amusing that I clipped the piece out. For some obscure reason it's stuck in my memory for at least 16 years however I can' t remember what I did an hour ago these days. err what was I doing..........................

SM42 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I haven't googled anything. I'm letting my imagination do the work, (that way I have editorial control) but I am seeing a person I know who's nickname is Felch in a whole new light. I'm not sure about the new clubhouse idea. All those unprotected belts and gears. It would definitely need to be near an A&E department. Andy Who had an innocent upbringing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bagpipes331 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 It would appear not every one is happy with our wonderful refurbished club house. I have therefore sold and pocketed re-invested the cash. Here is our new premises, complete with free bus service. I think you dial 999. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The location of the club house and some of the above conumdrums could be solved at a stroke. Clayton hospital in Wakefield is currently empty and looking for a new use. Many years ago the Wakefield club installed a model railway in the waiting room to help calm some of the attendees. It was still there at closure.so perhaps this will solve the chairmans investment problem.

jcredfer Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Apparently ............. after several sessions looking at their properties [i.e. - different numbers of twists and numbers of faces to the strip] ................. I remember making these with the paper chain strips when I was younger. the only use we found for these items .................... was a triangular section Fan Belt, with one twist, so it wore evenly on the single face produced ......... ............ and I still maintain that the additional heat build up from the additional twisting in the motion would contribute to more wear than would be saved by distributing the normal wear over the [1] face ......... I did, later, find another use ....................... keeping kids quiet in a class, when I wanted to write reports ............... just give out the strips and some Gloy and retire peacefully to my desk ....
