    Beginner router kit

    I've bought Bosch plunge router 'cos I want to practise mortising. I've bought a Makita trim router because I want to mount it into router table (cheers fella ;) ) . Both 1/4" (with 6mm and 8mm collet on plunge router at least, unsure of trim router 'cos not delivered yet). I'll be getting...

    Making a workbench that needs to be light

    Hello. I'm thinking about this again (still need to go through several stages of shed development before I build). I'll make the bench from 2x4s with underfloor storage parts, using loose tenon joints (want to learn mortising so seems a good way to start). Probably 6 legs as it's going to be...

    Work so hard you cripple yourself

    You do appreciate that democracy is a form of government selection and socialism (whatever your definition of its detail) is a strategy of government, however that government is selected. I mean, your post makes no sense. EDIT: 2 posts to your account and you're in off topic, hmm. Even I...

    US Election November 5th

    Literally most of the posts both you and BC'er have made contain either direct insult to fellow poster, or stating that they belong to some group or faction you've fever-dreamt up, or simply gaslighted (that really is the in word at the moment, isn't it) them with some nonsense that they haven't...

    :ROFLMAO: The hyperbole! Wtf are you talking about lmao. Oh come on Noel, just do it. Set me free. It's like an addiction. About a week in rehab might get me off it.

    Yes I've read about this before as well. Not what the Tories sold it as.

    US Election November 5th

    Unlikely, because it's only true if your thinking is in a Republican echo chamber. I know this is the Grauniad, but seems to be based on actual numbers from polls: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/26/presidential-election-polls-close <BC'er credibility detonation ka-pow>

    Yes, I didn't miss the "plenty would say" bit. I'll say this though, Starmer's only just got going. Things could get much worse yet. Or maybe better. Th-i-i-ngs, da da de da da-da.

    Guttering

    Actually, what am I thinking. £40 option it is lmao :ROFLMAO:.

    Guttering

    There's 3 ways of doing it: 1) Two sets of guttering, one on each side of shed, running to back of shed then each has its own downpipe straight down to angle joints and both going seperately through fence to no man's land. Price £50 not including half pipe guttering, 'cos that's bought cheap of...

    TL;DR. I won't comment any more 'cos Noel will take me to my happy place and I won't get any guttering advice. You enjoy yourself.

    Work so hard you cripple yourself

    But I'll go so far as to say that actually, all business has a social function by virtue of the fact that they are employers and one of the major components that make society tick. As soon as that (in a very light touch way, the defintion of which is where the rub is) stops being recognised...

    Work so hard you cripple yourself

    Dude, you give a very negative view of Labour management, then a very positive view of Thatcher management, and then stuff about having a nuanced view and not being dogmatic based on the past. Seems a bit contradictory. Can't argue with the final sentence, mind. "Managers vs workers angst" has...

    Guttering

    Yeah all the pricing up I did was on the miniFlow stuff at Wickes/B&Q/Screwfix, but I didn;t notice that value pack, thank you.

    Work so hard you cripple yourself

    Genuine question, that I don't know the answer to: did the UK economy fall off a cliff during the '08 economic crash or had it been in serious decline before then? I don't expect trying to blame everything on the '08 crash is a useful thing to do, but I think to answer the "why 45 years"...

    Exactly. Saying we've all got smart phones now so we're better off is kinda nonsense when you're talking about current relative wealth issues, isn't it.

    Work so hard you cripple yourself

    That's an appalling and objectively wrong viewpoint based on pretty much any definition of what representative democracy is. Our FPTP system, while arguably flawed, is hardly "entirely undemocratic", by demonstration of ballots being cast and governments changing. Behave. Things like labour...
