Just before he shot his ol' lady and went down Mexico way....

Here's one (of many) youtube jobs regarding etching anything metal. Looks/sounds easy enough to do...there's another tutorial - which is probably better - from a knife maker (MK?) who shows how he etches his knife blades with his logo. Would it stop the pikies and their nefarious hobbies...

Sits back, grabs popcorn and waits for some rib-ticklers from JBaz and Phill05. Oh.

One of my neighbours had her car nicked off her drive a few weeks ago. Got up Saturday morning, drew the curtains, and gone overnight. Locked, and alarmed. Suzuki jeep-type thing. Not worth a fortune, granted, but it was hers, and her only form of personal transport. Informed the boys in blue...

Rotary for me. Two at present. Only time I have to adjust is for GMT purposes twice a year, and the 28/29/30/31 business. Wife bought me an Omega gold-plated something-or-other many years ago, but I eventually managed to smash the glass. Couldn't afford to send/take to a proper Omega dealer, so...

Morning, all... PTSD? Perhaps you're right. I'd never considered that. As regards being "brave", it's not the case, I'm afraid! Purely a reflex action. Anyone who spotted the kiddie veering towards the edge would've done exactly the same. I was just fortunate to get - and keep - a grip on his...

Not dumb, as such.....but nasty. A few years ago I was standing on our local train station's platform, waiting to travel to work. Cold morning, so most of the people there were well wrapped up - thankfully, as you'll soon read. The usual number of regulars there, a few "hellos" exchanged, a...

I see that the boffins in North Korea have developed a new missile that can evade detection by flying lower and faster than any anti-job on the ground can pick up. I'm surprised it's taken them so long. It's hardly rocket science, is it?

I've viewed this on more than one occasion. The only problem seems to be that most pallets I've seen recently use wood blocks between upper and lower decks, as opposed to timber 'lengths'...

Just my point of view.... 95% feedback would've raised alarm number 1. I would've clicked on the seller's feedback number, picked on the red negatives, and read them. I'd have also figured out what %age negatives to number of sales in the last month/6 months/year. If the negs complained about...

This rain and wind's a bugger, isn't it?! Is it ever going to stop?! Three named storms, one after another, in the space of a week... What with the threat of flooding everywhere, the wife's constantly looking through the window. I guess I'm going to have to let her in soon.

For any viewers who might not see the point in the discussion about instrument weight, let me assure you that it is important! My Gibson is (reputedly) the heaviest Les Paul ever made, weighing in at a massive 14lbs. (When I say 'my', I don't mean just my particular beast! I mean the model range...

If you get a chance, search for some recent videos by Sam Deeks on youtube. He's switched from bone to Tusq nuts, but has adapted them to be adjustable, as the nut is one of the "top three" adjustments to be made.

Wait for it! Wait for it! "I don't watch TV...I don't read newspapers....and who is Luke Skywalker?"!

Brilliant! And topical too! Only yesterday was it reported that, in future, a million will be suffixed by "mn" as opposed to just m. This is to tie in with a billion being noted as "bn", and a trillion being "tn".... Apparently some folk were getting confused with metres, miles and...

That's brilliant. A relief for all concerned. I've lost too many dogs over the years, and admit that it's as upsetting - if not more - than losing a "proper" family member. This £50 "bargain" dust I mentioned earlier was due to my better half reading about the decreasing life expectancy of...

Talking of the price of stuff, I took a small parcel off my postman yesterday. Wife's name on the label, so assumed it was yet more day/night/24 hour/reduce wrinkle/look pampered type stuff....but no. "Ah...good. That's for the dog..." she stated, and proceeded to open said cardboard box. As for...

Somebody, somewhere will hopefully come up with a storage/battery/who-knows-what solution to this solar power conundrum. Then again, what happens to the spent storage medium at the end of its useful life? Wave power harnessing would seem to be the obvious solution for island GB, but apparently...

But then you read that the UK - thee, and me - have just given 88 million quid to Ukraine to help them "not be so dependent on Russia as regards the price of fuel". £88 million... Call me simple, but.....?

Aren't they the outfit that have "Ain't nothin' like the real thing" playing in the advert background?!
