      Never had a problem with Gibson wheels. Funny how some people can't handle them!

      Perhaps, Horse, you might be kind enough to pop down to North Devon then, and offer your services to Darren?! (good opportunity to check petrol consumption, too) :-p

      sounds like you should have two weeks sleeping to help you recover from work

    2. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Yes, but then he'll require another two weeks to recover from oversleeping...

      Difficult call, Darren, pride in the job verses personal health, but you've just got to look after your heath, buddy, because no one else will do this for you...

      HI

      The thing is I am the only one who works at night and their is no one to cover me ,a few years ago I broke my collier bone in twice places, had to phone them every day to let them know how I was doing!.

      In the end they pestered me so much ,that I was almost forced back to work only after a few weeks later.

      Working in a bad boys boarding school is not the place to be with broken bones, all they are interested in is that you are here and doing your job!.

      After a...

      bearings may need a quick go with a round file

    2. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      Reamer or 5-sided broach surely more accurate than a round file?

       

      Or is it the rods?

       

  23. darren01
