Not heard of it called that before. Have used PayPal to both buy from and sell to the US with no problem. IIRC anything over £22 on the customs form attracts tax and a £12 handling fee although this is a few years ago now. If you are asking the question I guess something doesn't feel right so...

Curious that one appears fixed and the other moveable. Guess someone had a need for a lot of a certain width of stringing

Can you get a multi tool in to cut it in half vertically? May then be able to slide the two halves out. Refit with a plastic T trim to look tidy. Only been able to do that once, most end up with some sort of cover panel

It's a bit of a bodge but I'd go for a bead of Sikaflex 522 under the cloth edge and strips of flat aluminium screwed on with self tappers over the top. Best if you can bend it to follow the sheet profile otherwise just short lengths between the ridges

At 17 I bought a 1970 MG Midget, blew the engine up so had it bored out to 1650 then had a stage 2 head on it, great fun but cornering in the wet was not a strong point. Volvo 740GLT 2.3 turbo was more fun than something shaped like a brick should be. Most of the others are just transport

More Canute than Noah

Could be he has a phobia, many do. In which case nothing will truly placate him. I'd put a couple of safe bait boxes down and point out the fact nothing has touched them. Won't stop him but takes the wind out of his argument

Learned to drive in a Saab 99, lovely car and those bumpers were very useful. It's getting hard to tell the current crop of cars apart, especially the SUV shapes. Is it a Jag or a Kia? Not good for brand status

Looking back at the threads you have posted showing all the wonderful and creative things you have done there, over and above what is called for by any job description, makes it so much worse that you have come to feeling this way. I'm sure your efforts have been appreciated by those who are...

Knowing my luck it'd be the workings of 'Blaster' Bates rather than oxtail soup :sick:

Imperial drill sizes, 7/32 and 11/64 look about right. Possibly homemade to keep the mist frequently used ones to hand by a drill press

Might be a daft question but are your plastics compatible with CA glue? Can't remember which types exactly but I know (guess how!) that with some the CA just sits on the surface and won't set

If you've got access to some freshly felled broadleaf tree trunks, not less than 4" thick, you can have a regular supply for years. Drill rings of half inch holes, 1½ inches deep, around the log, 4 inches or so apart in a staggered pattern. Fill these holes with spawn to within ½" of the...

Don't know why but this triggered a memory Must be Eurovision :dunno:

Dunno, but he keeps calling me Betty
