The last reservoir in the UK was built in Derbyshire in 1992 yet the population has increased by 11 million in 2022 , I would say that is good planning 😠😠😠

Is a sod is what it is. Ungrateful cow had a new head gasket for Easter (she dunt like choclit). Had the alternator out and tried refitting the pulley. Sadly it had worn itself oversize in the process and despite my best (inept) efforts won't...

Worrappens if the pully wants to turn fasterer than the nut wants to. Does the nut havva top speed?

RH thread turns CW to tighten, the pulley turns CW so should drag the nut in, should it be able to rotate about the spindle at all. Also had a damn great spring washer underneath the nut. As for knock ons, how would it be possible to fit them...

Dun't worry. Eye booked a day oft.

It's Monday tomorrow 😩🤯

And try washers and lock washers.

Trubble is doing that is far more complex than doing it with electricity, and as we now know they cannot even do that very well, hence huge windfarms being paid to not generate leccy whenever they can.

R U sure you mean that? A right-handed nut would need to be on a pulley that turns anti-clockwise to tighten itself. This is why peeps who have knock-ons have the nuts that tell you which side to put them on. There was once a member of a kit...

Yes 🤨

Cos it’s on a LR and can if it wants:vb-weyes:. I can’t be bother to search shaft direction/pulley direction/ shaft Fred and any complicated formula for speed stress and Newtons elbow, right now so. Just tighten it till your eyeballs pop see...

Dont you mean woodchucker? :vb-confused2: J

Today's gripe. The alternator spat it's pulley oft again.. How can a right handed nut that secures a pulley that runs clockwise undo itself?!

Have yer gorra virus checker onnit. We dun't want yer infectin me fred.

New dog n bone up and running. Tinterweb,phone,messages all working. It is extremely smart, it has blanked out the freelander section all on its own. Sent from my noo wizzy toy.

Not ere neever. Water companies are more interested in paying big bonuses to themselves. Why is nuffink workin like it should..

Int watched the vid but IIRC pure water is non conductive, it's the impurities that allow current to flow.

It's replacing a Samsung which is going senile. The S/S is quite old, about 9 years so no surprises. It was a hand-me down from "er indoors when she upgraded a couple of years ago. But it has stopped doing things - like not letting me sign into...

Shudda bort a samsung from argos.

Just back from Kurrys with a noo krapple I-phone. Made my plastic squander card squeak. Will see if I can set it up this afternoon, without kidnapping a 9 year old kid.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck If a woodchuck could chuck wood? As much wood as a woodchuck could chuck, If a woodchuck could chuck wood.

Instead of wasting money on a vanity project like HS2 they should have created a national water grid to even out the imbalances across the country and created more reservoirs and storage facilities.

Not here yet. Useless water companies, can't plan ahead or fix leaks, won't spend on new infrastructure. Instead they plan to charge us more when there's a shortage.

Not yet.

I had three jobs planned for today. Cut grass at the front, pull a few weeds out, chop up two pallets. Grass cut. Neeb took both pallets for his log burner so didn't need to get me chopper out (:eek:). Weeds can wait, it's too hot now.

Anyone on a hose pipe ban.

Id have pulled out my pressure washer to wash my motor then soaked his tools, accidently on purpose mind. ;)
