      I am going to be outraged by your opinion. I have no idea why but I have to outraged and tell everyone on social media. Right now.

  2. The morning after losing a day to a migraine; I think my body is telling me to stop moving furniture now.

      Bleurgh. Horrible when you lose a day like that.

  4. I learnt something last night; my wife would beat up Kylie Minogue if she tried to poach me. I should be so lucky.

      Used to wear them until retirement, now with the National Trust wear suppled t-shirt or zip up top and cargo trousers-lovely on a day like today, outside on the River Stour

      You have it easy these days. When I joined Barclays in 1964 you had to wear a dark suit, tie and white shirt (years before they started issuing uniforms). On Saturday mornings you could wear a sports jacket. tie and more colourful shirt.

  10. Snow has started again and supposed to be quite a bit overnight. So I've taken some pre-emptive action; 16ft LGB straight with power clips layed ready for the morning.

    1. Mad McCann

      LOL. That's the spirit!

  11. I've discovered something this last couple of days; I have a defective husky, she does not like the snow.

    1. truffy

      truffy

      Has it occurred to you that she's sensible, and it's all the others that are defective?

    2. Satan's Goldfish

      Satan's Goldfish

      Interesting..... her normal behaviour would demonstrate a lack of 'sensible', so I'm not sure how well that theory holds up.

  12. Snow day. SNOW DAY!!! And the LGB isn't out :(

  13. If your bogie design involves 16 bolts to hold it together, I feel It's best built without little ears around...

      I suspect it will. There's the added fun of if you glue the nuts to the threads to stop it coming apart, you'll never be able to change the wheel sets. there's a money making design flaw if ever one was created!

    3. Regularity

      Regularity

      Glue them with a dab of PVA or a touch of nail varnish (borrow if you have none yourself). Both will lock the threads, but be breakable should the need arise.

      Thanks for the tip. And thanks for not giving away my nail varnish owning secret...

      Yet I like power tools for presents but the family refuse to buy them!!!! Evidently it's supposed to be fun for gifts. I have pointed out one can have an awful lot more fun with a power saw and a pile of wood than a handsaw! ;)

      Satan's Goldfish

      I get the feeling there's a distinct difference between the sexes on what each other thinks is fun. My most favourite present ever was my pillar drill. The wife can't understand why.

  16. Ah Coyote Ugly is on later. The film that spreads the message that anything is possible as long as your willing to strip and dance first.

      Is for the 'anything is possible' times that you want to clear a crowded room?

  17. If you are in Santa's grotto and fart, the resulting smell causes Santa to start gagging. Does that mean you are on the naughty list? ..... asking for a friend...

      I'll go ahead then - er, I mean I'll tell my friend it's ok to go ahead then...

  19. Good news! I finally can confirm it was the dogs bone that was creating the bad smell outside the back door. Bad news, she's brought it into the living room...

      You need a bigger dog. Mine doesn't gnaw on bones. He easts them leaving no mess. 10-15 minutes usually does it

    3. Satan's Goldfish

      Satan's Goldfish

      Well I have had to clear some half dead animals from the garden.... at least she doesn't bring those in.

       

      She's not exactly small...

      Just be glad your dog doesn't retrieve dead bodies whilst on a walk, twice and the police start looking sideways at you....

      Muddys, I don't need to go 7mm, I went the full G along time ago...... giggedy...

       

      Horse, I think we have a practical joke there waiting to happen at a show in the future.

  22. Rusty Nissan update! MOT passed, but apparently as well as not needing a working fuel gauge to pass, it also didn't need a working Speedo... Sounds like the boyracer

      Very Nice. My long term goal once it's been de-rusted and the body/chassis suitable strengthened is to fit an LS3..... It's a 6 year plan...

  23. Come off facebook so need somewhere else to share news nobody really cares about..... so, new ABS pump for the rusty Nissan delivered to my mechanic today :-)

      ah Nissans, they come factory weathered ;)

  24. Rusty Nissan update! Reached its first mot in over a decade yesterday :-) and failed :-( but only because the ABS pump exploded mid test, other than that it was fine!

      Brakes fail-off and you lose brake force = Crash into something in front of you or at the next bend.

       

      Brakes fail-on and you stop suddenly with the risk of spinning-off or someone running into the back of you.

       

      As a designer -how do you choose?

       

    4. Satan's Goldfish

      Satan's Goldfish

      Fail off, still get hand brake cable....if you're able to think that clearly in that situation. That would be my thought anyway.

  25. Lol, Mrs SG asked me to start writing a list of anything I might like for Christmas. She's regretting that now. I'm gonna need a second sheet of paper...

      I have a method where i circle bits in a magazine of various price ranges and then leave it in the 'reading room' (the one with the porcelain seat). This birthday the system produced a s class 85. Fathers day produced a BG etc etc. I do still have to resort to more direct methods sometimes. I had to repeat 'Little Barford' several times before she got the message.
