Thanks mate, everyone's help and kindness is much appreciated. As I claim, I'm not yet (nor have I ever been) so dependent on alcohol that it needs to be my "wake-up" drink. For this reason I would maintain that I am not yet (nor do I ever want to be) an alcoholic, I just have a problem with...

No, I am just commenting on my perception of it. No drinks till c. 5PM

As far as I can tell THIS tastes exactly the same as the full-fat variety.

Sorry for such a late reply, but here goes. Probably more info than is appropriate but what @derwendolly says about non-foods is the crux of the matter for me. First time I lost a whole load of weight and dropped from 15-7 to 12-7 I was eating as I am now, but not drinking alcohol at all. I have...

Morning All. :D Nice & Sunny out there, if a bit windy and cool. :) Have a lovely day! :D

...that the old bus goes in for its 24,000 mile service on Monday. :D I am expecting a bit of a shock on the cost. But needs must.

Morning All. :D The fibbing device in the bathroom tells me I have at last managed to get to just under 14 Stone. :) I saw my Osteopath yesterday and she straightened out all of the kinks put in by the worktop cutting and kitchen re-jigging the day before. Then of course I drove to the tip...

Does the ice cream promote growth in strawberry plants then? I never knew that. ;)

... That the ols worktops I cut into slabs yesterday got taken to the tip and disposed of. The18mm MDF board has all been cut to fit all of the cupboards backs on the kitchen island cupboards. Awaiting the Oak battens ordered for the decorative finish once it has all been painted satin black. I...

Morning All. :D Nice day here, off for the paper. BBL. Have a really good day. :D

OK sports fans, here's how we roll today. First part took 4 attempts and many days to get a successful part. The second one has taken < 1 day because of errr.... Learnings. That's all I am going to make for now. :) A second carbide bit "died" in the process. :( Luckily it was the cheaper 5mm...

Morning All. :D Flaming June? Why has my CH come on this morning? :( Have a lovely day, be happy. :D

Hard to say strength-wise. The original SA QA axle tube as they supply today is still Nickel plated steel, but they swapped from "other" to stainless for the QR axles a few years ago. I prefer the QR axle-tube mounting system for the drum hubs but I often use 12.9 hardness bolts in the tubes as...

Ok sports fans, a part in Stainless Steel has been produced on the 62 YO "Lathe of Doom". "About ruddy time too!" they all shouted. I have to admit that it has been a very, very trying process. Metric threading on an imperial lathe, "Work Hardening" Stainless Steel (304) 12mm through bore...

Define cheap?

Welcome to the LR Luddite forum. You will find little RRS activity on here I'm afraid, but welcome nonetheless. :)

Morning All. :D Big rain blowing through here this morning. :( Have a great day! :D

My dad used to drive with no hands on the wheel singing a song and clapping his hands (to make my sister scream). What she didn't realise was that he was holding the huge "bus-like" wheel and steering with his knees. :)

We get the little darlings up for school tomorrow and then we are free of them till Friday I think. TBH, they are just kids (10 & 7 ) and have not been too badly behaved, I just struggle with the whole kid thing at my age. I may get back to "normal" tomorrow. :) Sleep tight all. :D
