Just got an email saying I'd been accepted onto my OU degree course and the gubmint are gonna pay. Apparently there's a lack of old bastards in the IT biznis.

Any backpackers/wild campers on here? Durston Xmids go back on sale at 4pm tomorrow. I'm gonna be sat there hitting F5 like a loon.

PTFE is a great idea. I have shedloads of that.

Bloody easy to do with plastic threads as well.

Legend.

Any of you peeps know anything about the different versions of Loctite? The mud baskets on my trekking poles keep working loose. Plastic thread both sides. I don't want to permanently glue them cos they'll need replacing eventually. Is there a Loctite specifically for plastic?

I'd be interested in this if Keith has had success.

Mine's a 2000 and refitting the pipe made me think I had a different engine in it.

You sure you're wearing the correct bra size?

I might end up just borrowing one. I'm sure Stevie at work will have a couple knocking about. Farmers have all sorts of kit lying around. And it's not something I'd use regularly.

That makes sense. Might have to purchase one in preparation for cutting the bloody thing next year.

Speaking of ripping out hedges, do any of you people that use a chainsaw regularly know if I can run one on its side for any length of time? I'm thinking there would be fuel feed issues.

I've got one about 60 feet long you can nip over and do if you're doing nowt. If I could afford it I'd rip the bastid out and put a fence up.
