Today I acquired...........

[DAPPH]

i like my new knife.

feels solid in the hand and opens nicely. i was a fan of stanley fatmax folding knives, (these)

but ive had 2 now where part of the casting breaks off and makes it horrible to hold...

Getting the blade lock pin in the right place to change the blade can be awkward if you hands are cold ..take care putting the new blade in too ........keep skin away from the cutting edge ( guess how I know ?)
I have a similar knife but a bit posher with wooden scales , IIRC it cost me £ 9.50 eight or more years ago

Oh,yes we have a bitch collie.

I'd give it a real think then, normal Laurel doesn't berry so would be safer.

We chose it knowing the berries,we already have an old established laurel bush complete with berries which pre dates 3 previous dogs over a few decades,so considered it safe. Thanks anyway without this history,I wouldn’t have chosen this variety.

Today, well yesterday, I temporarily acquired this:



Very, very useful thing. I have seen them, seen pictures of them but never actually thought one would be any use to me, having spent two days now fekking about under the bonnet of the Astra I realise they are an essential when working on modern vehicles. I am going to get the Milwaukee one.

Tried one out last night. I'm impressed. Thin, (lot thinner than my old ones), snug fit, & keeps the head nice & toasty.

If you think Thinsulate are good try a Buff beanie hat, way way better

An used decimal drill bits set

Some need sharpening few needs to be replaced but 80% of them looks in good condition

43 euro not so bad for a Garant set
Replacing the missing and way to damaged bits would be more expensive than that.
But still wort it.
It will go next to the Gühring set to complete my decimal drill bits collection

Got one but can’t keep it on - I don’t know if it’s my luxuriant head of hair, or my football shaped head, but it keeps coming off. Going to look for a beret…

Sew on a couple of ribbons and tie under your chin in a neat bow. The same stuff you sewed on your gloves.

A good friend, in Scotland found out that I had flu, thus under the weather.
I jokes he should send me something to entertain meme.

He said why.
I replied, You do like all those donations for your charities etc, the Doom bar.


He said he will send me a small box.

I think it does IIRC the berries come a few weeks after the flowering ( time to take last years growth cuttings)

SGS in Rugby are the place to go for struts

SGS in Rugby are the place to go for struts

+1 for that.
After fitting a couple of large speakers in the tailgate of my estate car the already tired struts refused to work.
Rang sgs and they give me advise and I bought a pair of uprated ones to compensate for the weight of the speakers.
