Not Jelutong, but have you actually tried model suppliers at all: http://www.alwayshobbies.com/Tools-$4-Materials/Wood-Packs-and-Panels.ice Not the cheapest way to buy lots of timber, but would be suitable for initial tests and trials I would have thought? Steve

Did they have your size in stock? :twisted: Steve

And there was me thinking it was because we were all living longer and therefore costing more. Never realised it was all a government conspiracy to make money! Steve

Which is an admirable sentiment, but ignores the reality that to means test everyone costs more than the allowance for those that don't need it in the first place. You need to send out forms, provide a helpline for people to fill them in, check them, decide on the outcome, have fraud measures...

In one of those strange quirks of timing, this report appeared on the BBC news this morning: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-10859264 Once opened, its appears to be very difficult to close Pandora's box! On that depressing note, I am off for a weeks holiday ;) Steve

Sorry to be a pedant, but wrong again - cloning doesn't obtain anything - it produces an exact copy. Thus selective breeding tries to retain or improve an existing trait or phenotype, cloning makes a copy of an existing trait or phenotype. Its slower and more restrictive than even selective...

No - lab defined cloning is where the offspring is 100% genetically identical to a single parent. Monozygotic twins are identical to only each other. The cloning refers to the parental origin, not the relatedness of other siblings. Steve

Sorry, monozygotic twins are not clones. They are the product of two parents and 100% genetically identical to neither. That they are identical to each other is becuase they have a single origin post-fertilisation, not because independent events have produced the same outcome. Identical twins -...

a) Not redundant if the fixed point you are referencing to is effectively motionless (think celestial body) but in absolute terms, since the universe is still expanding then nothing is motionless, so in a pedantic kind of way absolute motion is impossible to compute. b) see a) hypothetical but...

Try not using google as a primary source when considering complex scientific information. The internet is wonderful and all, but like the gene pool it has a shallow end which although shallow, is very broad :wink: Steve

Rest assured, the human genome is large enough to allow differentiation between any two individuals in the world. Its composed of 3 billion bases, and approx 15 million of those are divergent among the population. Without going into too much detail, that is 15 million factorial possible...

Its a rule that has been in place for ages - there is even a sticker on the door of pretty much every petrol station you care to go into. Some places enforce it, some do not. Some bikers abide by it, some do not. Some, like myself, have a Caberg flip up helmet. I have it because I wear glasses...

:lol: :lol: Sure made it look easy today didn't he! Still have Thor for the Green Jersey and I hope Cav continues to prove me wrong! Steve

So it looks like Cavendish is all mouth and no trousers this year - gave up way before the line today and came in 12th! Real shame Armstrong lost time due to a mechanical rather than through human effort - going to be a big ask to make up over a minute in the mountains just to peg back the likes...

Umm, because its the scene of an attempted murder and it needs to be shut down for evidence collection. SOCOs need to sweep the scene, the case needs to be watertight. If he gets off on a technicality because due process was not followed then there will screams of police not doing their job...

Hi John, welcome aboard. Birch ply is indeed the 'flat sheet material' of choice for most scrollers, especially those into jigsaws and fretwork rather than 3D scrolling. This is because the multiple layers are free from voids and structurally intact. Not so much here, but certainly in the US...

Yes! Don't hide the wood - littlest will only tell anyway and it then makes it twice as bad since you tried to hide it (DAMHIKT) :wink: Steve

Glad I could brighten your morning Byron :wink: Was not a rant against football specifically, more the associated hype that goes with it. Apologies if it offended. At a risk of starting a flame war, which I have no intention of doing, (honest!) this thread started with a negative view of the...

Do you know what with this and all the hype over the final big brother I am beginning to see why my 4 yr old smashed our TV at the weekend! Might just be me but as I ride a motorbike to work daily I am becoming more and more cautious near any car that has a 'flag-onna-stick' attached to it. Two...

Yup - happy for the legs to go to another home as I will be taking the wooden cabinet for the saw to reside in. Thanks Karl - it will indeed be an insurance job but a long time ago to keep premiums down I upped the excess :roll: Not loads of dosh compared to a new TV but enough that I have to...
