Maybe its the jabs. :( did you taste the cola on its own? Or is it in the ice? Sometimes a glass can smell of "wet dog" if it has been washed up in a certain way.....

They didn't get mine off, I'd tied the drawstring too tight, twas a laugh though! Stuff you do when you are young! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Nice try!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Soz mate! Don't walk around with a camera or mobile capable of taking pics, seeing as how the one that does a/ cannot communicate pics with my lappy easily. b/ as it is on 4g I can't make phone calls on it either, so it stays at home. My old Tesco Mobile, quite vintage motorola, don't take pics...

You'd know would you, Bear Kevstar? I wouldn't! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Good for you. I'd like shingles jabs but even though I am 69 they won't give 'em to me, I'm not old enough apparently. It seems to vary from place to place. :(

Evening all! Had a really nice day, out. Went to Bath, had lunch in a Hotel that used to house the Admiralty it felt really funny walking up the steps and inwhere for two decades I watched matelots, usually orficers doing just that. The inside doesn't look much of the Victorian decor was left...

...funny thing. W went over to the "chocolate cupboard " this evening. One that only rarely gets opened and never by me. She sits down and opens....... an Easter egg. Apparently it was the one I gave her months ago. The mind boggles. (Big thing made of dark chocolate like she likes. In a...

...that now the Central Heating system is up the creek. One bathroom the rad is boiling, tother bathroom the rad is OK, not as hot as the other but still as hot as would be OK, but all the other rads in the house are cold. All rads are full of water, bled them and no air came out. bled the...

Far more subtle and with finesse than that!!;);) 🤣 🤣

Ok put the nut back on, but not as far as to contact the arm with any real contact, you need to leave a tiny bit of space. This is to protect the thread. If the nut is too thick finds a slimmer one. Get someone to lever up on the arm while you take a drift of some kind, put it on the nut and /or...

Just sitting here calming down as I am driving myself round the bend. As W is out for most of the day I took the opportunity to turn the water off at the mains and get on with the plumbing in the utility. It was taking so long for the cold water to empty from the pipes that I had some lunch...

Did you reuse the original ladder? If so, and I cannot see from your pic the top of the ladder when fully open, it looks to me as if it is mounted a bit too high or a bit too far up the loft hatch. I appreciate that the bottom of the top section has to not come too far along the hatch or it...

We are supposed to get our log burner's "chimney" swept once a year in France for the insurance. Log burner is hyper efficient, stainless tube, flexi metal liner then stainless chimney sitting inside a decorative tile thing to keep the watter and the birds out. ( and there is only a 30 deg...

Really don't understand this at all. If the loft hatch is longer then, provided there is enough room in the loft for stowage, you should have been able to have a longer and therefore less steep ladder. Unless it has been fitted in such a way that you physically couldn't get it down to the floor...

That's a bit mad. Did Juan Sheet have a powerful vac or summat? Plumber who came to change the stop-cock used a dual jobbie vac to mop up any watter that came out while he was doing the job. Never seen that before neeva! Never inclined to sweep your own chimbley? Or do you have to get an...

And they can spread fires too, a bit like steam engines gone wrong!

Are you ok with the concept of connecting things up in series and/or in parallel? I just noticed @Hippo mentioned wiring them up in parallel and don't want to be patronising but you never know! This is a great thread which explains the benefits and disadvantages of wiring in series, or...

I had a bit of a look over lunch and found this table in one of my "how to build a kit car" books. Cable sizes: For side, tail, fog, flashers, radio and panel lamps. rating 8.75 amps. 14/0.3 metric or 14/0.012 imperial Headlamps, horns, heated rear windows. rating 17.5 amps 28/0.3 metric or...
