All the problems associated with getting old, like being able to drive for hours, but the moment I stop, If I don't have a pee within 20 seconds....... and on a similar note.....working outside in the garden after drinking too much tea. Rushing to the toilet, much fumbling about then realise...

You weren't calling the Roslin Institute were you? Where they cloned Dolly the sheep....

Replace that with 'not the first to be scammed'.;) when I go into a shop on the high street, I don't have to check if there is duty to be paid on anything I buy, why should Amazon UK be allowed to behave differently? The technology exists to have the correct price displayed on Amazon, or at...

so how difficult would it be for Amazon (UK) to add 'excluding taxes and duty' for UK buyer along side the price. The reason will be they will have already run a trial with this facility and found their revenue drops if they warn the buyer there are hidden charges. It's a scam. :)

Where does it say the buyer has to pay duty?

That Amazon ad is completely misleading. Why should the buyer have to dig around to see where the seller is and if any duties may be payable? it should all be up-front.

For any cyclist going through a red light dangerously, they should get a fixed penalty and 3 points!!. If you don't have a licence, added to your driver record. Cyclists have to obey the rules of the road.

A beautiful design:)

I never use any lubricants on my RAS (DW 1501). The only issue I have is that after a lot of use, the sliding action feels a bit rough because of dust compressed on to the bearings/tracks of the arm. I give it a clean with a brush/cloth soaked in alcohol. Sometimes if I'm in a cleaning mood, I...

Welcome to the forum.

I always wear a high visibility jacket, but not a lycra one. As you say essential. I also have a bright flashing light on my helmet, but in some cases, people still don't see me. There's a blind spot in some drivers brains. They are looking for cars approaching and everything else is filtered out.

When you are cycling, If you rely on rules of the highway code to keep you safe, you'll get into trouble. Any cyclist is responsible for looking after themselves on the road. You have to obey the rules of the road, be respectful and thoughtful towards other good road users. You have to assume...

you need to put insulation of some kind in close contact with the surface where condensation forms. When the outside temperature falls rapidly, the inside of the shed can't drop as fast, so the moisture in the air in the shed condenses on the colder roof. If it was me, I would do my usual cheap...

I created a two channel data logger using a a velleman VM110 or the earlier 8055 and K type thermocouples . I wrote the functions to control the board from the Velleman K8055 DLL, then created a small program to run everything. I just checked the price of the board and shocked to see it has...

Welcome to the forum.

I get my wife to look for things. I have a similar 'blindness'. I had a theory that the thing I was looking was being used by my doppelganger in a parallel universe. I'm still half convince that's where it goes.!

I've been using a DeWalt RAS for ripping for probably about 30-35 years and only had one serious kickback when I first started using it. I didn't realise what the kickback device was for. It does have a riving knife. When I read other threads on here and comments about how some people use table...

I use an Epson ecotank and get similar life from the tanks of ink. The printer was way more expensive than others, but I can't be bothered dealing with cartridges any more. Probably the most expensive way of buying ink, but just hassle free.

Welcome to the forum Caylin

Same when I was young, 60+ years ago, it was Lego and Meccano. I had a pretty basic set, but as you say it taught you so much. Meccano was something else. I had a motor, with a gearbox, so I could make things do something. Lego now is incredible, all the kits you can get, the different shapes...
