I must be one of a dissapearing group that actually uses a camera to take ohitis, a phone to make phone calls and a computer to look at the internet. As for staring into a tiny screen to anything but put a phone number in? As I have said before the forum looks OK to me on Firefox, so no...

Am I correct in thinking that there are at least 3 threads on this? If so then why can't they all be put together? Edit : - Make that 5 !! Grey font? Mine is black and easy to read and I don't have the best eye sight on this planet. :deer

I like it, but then again I have always liked green :? :? It's a darned sight better than one of the Mac forums I'm on. A few daze bafore Christmas we were told that they would be closing the forum on the 31st Dec! It's still running though so I assume that as they didn't specify which...

That should help to keep the population down :shock: :shock: :shock:

Everything, or almost, in France is different. They can't even drive on the correct side of the road. No wonder they have so many accidents? :mrgreen: We moved back to the U.K. about 2 months ago. I had posted that bit a while back but say-la-vee as they say? :mrgreen: I've changed my...

The regulator in the hand piece is a guess on my behalf bacause the pipe screws straight on to the bottle and the torche seems to burn about the same as a small camping stove that I have that does use a regulator. The small 10lb bottle I have is definately butane and it has a left hand thread...

Just a question on the regulator fittings really. I'm probably completely out of date with being out of the country for 13 years! Does anyone know if Calor still does the bottles wth the left hand screw regulator fitting? It would only be for the small, what used to be 10lb, bottles. This is...

Our place in France had a gate with a spring catch and a dead bolt (I think they are the names?) The key worked fine in the spring bit but not the dead bolt. So one quiet day I decided to take the lock off and have a look at it and after about an hour and severay 'golly goshes' put it back so...

OK, what's the difference between crabs and lobsters? Answers please :) :D :D

A farmer stopped by the local mechanic shop to have his truck fixed. They couldn't do it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far and would just walk home. On the way he stopped at the hardware store and bought a bucket and a gallon of paint. He then stopped by the feed store and picked...

HSBC = Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation. A good while back I was talking to a bloke at a friend's party. I didn't know him and asked what he did for a living. He said that he was a manager for the HSBC. When I repplied "oh the Hongkong etc he was quite surprised that I knew what it...

I'm going to watch this thread. It might be quite interesting in a twisted sort of way :shock: But it does remind me of a situation in our last U.K. house. An old Cotswold stone cottage that was half of what were 4 farm workers cottages on the side of a valley in Stroud. SWMBO wanted a small...

Why feel foolish ? You asked a question, you have an answer, so now you should feel enlightened, init :mrgreen: :mrgreen: 8)

Much better now with all the obesity and children who don't know how to play without batteries in it. I loved the one with the 4 sat at a table. No chat, just staring into little moron screens. As for the turning of the wifi as a punishment? The little rat would probably just go and turn it...

Cheers for the post Eric. All good stuff mate. I, like AES was in the R.A.F. and working on jet aircraft although mine were big transports like the Bristol Britannia, Comet 2 & 4c and VC10s I started in the early 60s through to the mid 70s and as an aircraft electrician and working on an...

That's one of the most stupid games I've spent 1/2 hour at :oops: I am so annoyed at it it's gone on one of my other forums to annoy them! So there :ho2

Don't worry Sicka, that will only last for about 15 years, then it gets REALLY scary with the grandkidz (hammer)

Choose your weapons gentlemen (?) but don't forget that the minimum range is 20 paces! http://www.independent.co.uk/extras/ind ... 49331.html Try to choose one with a nice BIG brass buckle for the max damage though? :deer :deer and if you choose a goodun it may well be reconstructed as a...

You just got slated on here to mate :D :D 123, if I may call you that? Is upcyclying similar to buy-cycling per-chance, where the upcyclers are they wot do the upping and the buyers are the people who 'buy-cycle' and aren't really sure which way is 'up' ? :? :?

That could be a touch OTT me-thinks? But it may well be a corner bath and they are bigger init.. I always though that Sue Narmi was a singer :? :? and along with Brandins comment that may well work?
