I used to be a Guardian Angel 89-92 and our home base was in Kings Cross, so every year on the 18th Nov we used to gather just before our patrol and do a minutes silence - I remember the day as it was a week before remembrance sunday. It's strange about the cigarette butt "myth", I thought the...

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that :) I guess the question all comes down to circumstances - I'm sure there are some workshops oop north that are cosy all year round - Steve Maskery's (late of this forum) come to mind, I guess the real answer is anywhere the temperature in the shop...

If that's for me Dr Bob, sure I'm not saying they shouldn't be independant "free spirits", but they can't have it both ways - if they want to be young and free and rebellious, fine, just don't be surprised when you wake up at 35 with nothing to show for it but some interesting tattoos, then...

My counterpoint to your last point would be "if only the youth would pay attention to the lessons of thier forefathers". The whole "doomed to repeated them" thing oh and read more bloody history so that they don't go on a rampage pulling down statues of people they think are the sole reason...

Maybe - but I came within seconds of getting scammed myself just 2 days ago, I had just plugged my satnav to my pc after 4 years ownership to update the maps (it had tried to take me to a roundabout that no longer existed) and almost immediately I got a popup on "A tomtom website" saying my...

no just black paint. Edit - yes even a welded metal frame would have most of fixed the issues. @Tiddles I get your point of view, but not quite the same really here - what people will think they are buying is a solid desk that might last a very long time indeed, based on the fact it's thick...

Unicorn I've sent you a PM I'm also in Bristol and have various grinders and stone dressing paraphenalia I can bring over to do it, but would rather do the cutting myself, I've got more experience at it. edit NVM - just read your reply to beanwood.

Well here's the thing, I'm normally a proponent and defender of "pallet furniture" insofar as the things that can be made from pallet wood - it IS just wood after all, and properly prepared is just as good as bought stuff - with even the occasional pallet containing hardwood sections. But IMHO...

I've just seen this desk on facebook marketplace and thought it shows most of the mistakes most people make when making a desk - or in this case a "desk shaped object" and is just the sort of example of tat that makes people shy away from "stuff made out of palletwood / scaffold planks". How...

You shouldn't train your dog to fetch round objects, as one day it might be a grenade, as one darwin award winner and his serving dog found out :) https://darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin2002-34.html

I played MDK2 and didn't remember that so I had to google it - turns out it was MDk3 - which I didn't play. Holy Handgrenade - not the one from Monthy Python - the game "Worms" - the whole "HAAAALLELUJAH - kaboom" was always fun. Messiah - an evil humour game - about a Chreub named "Bob" who...

I never could get on with the assassins creed series, I tried 1, 2 and 3, but it just didn't "do it" for me, though I couldn't really tell you why.

Thanks for the kind words of that - I'd like to add something else about my point you quoted, in online gaming it's "just gamers". Occasionally I get to have voice comms with people, but it's not the norm among "strangers", so it's mostly just text chat (for PC games anyway), and text chat has...

While I don't disagree things are not great at the moment, and I made no attempt to deny them, the absolute truth is all of this still sits on the EU's doorstep - in 1979 the UK entered into a "free trade agreement" for TRADE AND ONLY TRADE. Brussels in thier "wisdom" made it about more than...

no point leaving this here - I was merely trying to offer another alternative.

Docking was fairly simple once you learned a simple tricks - because there was no "strafe" up or down I found it was easier if you used the left or right side view to line up the station, so the entrance face was "flat" (if you were not parallel there was always a hint of one of the sides) -...

Not been there - not done that yet - Skyrim is one of those games I'm keeping in reserve to play in full 4k gloriousness with tons of mods when I build my next uber rig (in readiness for Star Citizen) as this one is about 6 years old now, in fairness it could probably do it now, but the next rig...

I would refute most of that with a simple caveat aded to the beginning of each of your points: "some". Your posts reads like it's 100% coverage when that is simply untrue and frankly an incredibly egregious oversimplification of very complex matters. Not everyone lives way beyond thier means...

Yeah you pretty much did: Jelly - "There are lots of things stacked in favour of the older generations" Stacked = deliberate. Stacking something is a deliberate action, things DO NOT "stack" under naturally occuring random events. Your line above sets the flavour for the rest of the post...

BIG gamer here - longtime Planetside 2 / Path of Exile / torchlight / Diablo (just to name those mentioned here) player alongside a great many major title games from almost every genre (except football). Also in my current "playlist" - No mans sky, Star Citizen (KS backer), Elder Scrolls...
