I heard you the first time

[DEG5Y]

More or less, I was on the Burgman and dropped an ear plug and stupidly leant over to pick it up. Burgman being automatic, I must have rubbed off the throttle and it moved and tipped over.

I hadn't the helmet on because I was putting in ear plugs.

Bled like a pig.
I was outside the bike shop so the provided kitchen paper and a big plaster to get me home.
AnE then.... no stitches

No, but bet the guys in the shop were in stitches!

 

[Pow-Lo]

What?

I paid £12 for an insulated mug from Asda, made a coffee at 8am, it was still boiling hot at 2pm.

Why didn’t you just make it at 2pm?

 

[Squag1]

A can of 3-in1 oil
a pressure relief valve
Penny washers

Why 3 n 1.
Thought you had lots of it

 

[derek kelly]

Why didn’t you just make it at 2pm?

Because in the Prison service you can just sit down for a brew & then be called away to do other things, look forward to your bacon sarnie made for you at 9am, don’t get to eat it until after 11

The 12oz one stays proper hot for two hours, very warm for another two and warm for two after. It’s good enough for what I want. It was £16 on Amazon. I haven’t test driven the 16oz one yet.

His tale of the jurassic 3 in 1 can was just he kept forgetting and bought a new one each month

Bought a few things recently
A Dymo label maker... so no more having to rely on the kindness of others

2 x triple throw double pole switches, and a small 'project box
One of our electric lazy boy armchairs decided to chuck a wobbly and let all the smoke out of the control box .. Replacement is £120 + delivery.. So I am building a replacement my self ...
Got all the clever stuff laying around and already drawn up a circuit, so just waiting for the final bits to arrive before I build the interface

 

[derek kelly]

I got my dymo label maker from Aldi a couple of years back
