Yes! Just like yours! Thanks, HOJ....why my google searches didn't find that site is beyond me!

Trying to find similar in the UK, but no joy... You get the idea - the bag's open end is placed over the blue C channel, and the white bar is then forced down into it, hopefully making an air-tight seal. (If it works, a lot easier than the sticky mess that "reusable" sealants leave) I've...

Just noticed that, according to my wall calendar, tomorrow is the "UN International Day of Peace". Good luck with that, then....

My old dad always stored his part-used paint tins upside down for that very same reason. I've just squeezed as much air as I could from a (plastic) bottle of TruOil to try stopping it drying out/solidifying - time will tell whether successful. I've also heard of topping the container up with...

Taken the plunge and ordered one of the Thin Air kits. Mind you, had to order it from France, as the UK rep never bothered to reply to my email! Not really what I wanted as the kit uses a hand pump as opposed to an electric job, but time wasn't on my side in this instance. Thanks to everyone who...

AAAaaaaarrrrrRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH! (But I forgive you, because I've just used the phrase "for free". My God, the shame of it all...) :oops:

Yes. For some reason, that gets me too. What's wrong with "start"? In fairness, I do use "gotten" at times. And "amn't", which is apparently wrong, but I've never understood why.... :sneaky:

Snap. I said exactly the same to my wife. Very wooden acting. I happened to catch part of part 2 the following night, and got the impression that the director was giving the actors instructions, like "Look surprised!" - all very forced, similar to the inane expressions on the two blokes who "do"...

Done this for a few years since reading the tip somewhere, and yes, it does work. Another tip? Tap the nozzle with your fingernail a few times after use, before you screw the top on. It seems to make any liquid glue that was just about to emerge and concrete the cap, fall back down the spout...

Crikey, that was quick, chaps! Nice offer, Doug B - many thanks - but I was hoping for a whole kit rather than have to "repair" something. It's actually for Mrs.Cozzer - an impatient soul at the best of times - so I can only imagine the earache if I said it would have to disappear into the shed...

I always thought this was rather good...this is just the intro, but he shows the construction in other videos.

... veneer press, suitable for hobby use marquetry? Ideally not expensive (!) and local to Derbyshire. Looked at the "Thin Air" manual-pump idea, and contacted the UK stockist, but never received any reply, so....?

Haven't heard any "new" ones for years. Think everybody will know the "lay of wife", "pransome hince" and the various permutations of "hyperdermic needle", but have you heard any good 'uns lately?

Don't worry. The nurse will wake him up tomorrow and he won't remember a thing anyway....

As I get older I think about all the people I've lost over the years ... Maybe being the guide at Hampton Court maze wasn't the best career for me....

And another one for you! I've lived here for over 20 years, and never noticed until the old oven was replaced a few weeks ago...

Did you know that there are no canaries in the Canary Isles? The same is true of the Virgin Isles..... There are no canaries there either.

I was chatting to Wolfgang - my friend from Frankfurt - and asked him if he knew what 3 multiplied by 3 was. Apparently he doesn't....

Remember the story from a good few years ago, when scientists managed to "grow" an ear on a live mouse? Well, amazingly they've now managed to grow human vocal cords. They say that the results speak for themselves....

The two astronauts stuck in the space station until next year? The bloke was desperate for a coffee, but complained that he couldn't find the milk. His colleague replied "In space, no one can. Here.....use cream...."
