Get a belt drive compressor. I currently have a pair of compressors. A old belt driven one and a direct drive one. They're both on the edge of 13a 1ph (I have them plugged into 16a MCB) Belt drive still makes a racket but it's a little softer noise than the hammering of the direct drive...

Ahh yes, that famous PM...

I saw a figure of £4,300 per asylum seeker per month. Now we both know that it doesn't cost £4,300 to support a human for one month. So why is this cost so high? Is it A) because the asylum seekers can only eat caviare, or B) someone is royally rinsing the tax payer for money, once again...

As unemployment is at recorded low levels, the whole "benefits scroungers" thing is, I assume, now a non issue anyway. It's boat people who are the cause of all our misery now. They are the cause of my increased mortgage rate. Remember, it's always those with less than you who are the problem.

Again, I fear you're comparing Norway to the Soviet Union. In a pure free market system, if i want your wife's kidney, and i have enough money, essentially, i have it. Possibly not by force, but even otherwise, i can use my wealth (legally) such as her "selling" me her kidney is your only...

People make the mistake of claiming that every socialist is a command economy advocate. That the "left" want state ownership of everything, and that "has been tried, it fails" whilst ignoring countries like Norway that actually derived state wealth from their oil fields. It always just flags...

Do you know the difference between, say, a democratic socialist, or a social democrat? Or is it all just Siberian gulags to you? What country is the second most powerful economic block? China. Don't they call themselves communist? I mean, they're not, but neither was soviet Russia. What...

So all restaurants should charge £12 meals? Surely then one will think "we need to be able to charge £8, lets cut back on that healthcare package we offer our employees" And so they charge £8 Then all the people, like yourself, describe it again, and say that the only way to progress out of...

Ok, so i just ran a quick test, and got a way better result than i expected - I welled off a section, but, instead, thought id test with just a drop - It spread within seconds - And, within not longer than a couple of mins, basically dissapeared - I tried the same on a more...

Thank you. We have a friend who is a decorator. She poured some of that stuff onto our window frames when she was here, so i know exactly what youre on about. Ill see if she has any that i can test with. Another thought i had was if some of that deep pour epoxy would work? I use it for...

I find it hard to select spalted beech - too far and its a mush, not far enough, and its not so interesting. Anyway, i have this part - The white bits on the right are soft. I sanded them quickly by hand to get an idea, and then had a bit of a dig about with a blade at the end - The...

He can, and evidently does. My comment was that I thought, by his questions, that he was genuinely interested, and then the "agree to disagree" comment implied that he had solidified to a position, of which I was previously unaware. The curiosity is that the comment that he eventually "agreed...

You missed my earlier query about netflix and avocados?

Oh, I thought you were asking genuine questions. More fool me.

My local hairdresser has two kids, so a four person family. I wonder if they have an extra £60k in the bank? If not, someone else has that money. I wonder who - do you know?

I'm saying that, if you inject a whole bunch of cash into a system, it doesn't matter if "everyone gets some". Sure, everyone may get some numbers on their bank account, but unless there is more "stuff", all the existing "stuff" just has increased demand (costs more). So if i give you a...

If the government borrows a whole bunch of cash, and gives half the population £100 each, and the other half £50 each, are the ones who get the £50 - A) richer B) poorer ?

Yes. The money was spent on all sorts of things. And then maybe it got sucked into a wormhole, and no longer exists.... You have water in a dish. It evaporates. That doesn't mean its vanished. Its still somewhere. Someone has it. Unless you have [total money spent / uk population] then...

No, not at all. What i am, however, saying is that all these tokens are eventually linked to real world assets. Take again bitcoin. It has no value other than what you can swap it for. You might swap it for an NFT. You might swap it for a bit of plastic with a picture of the queen on it...

I've snipped part of your reply, as i really feel that i need to focus on this point. You mention bitcoin - Bitcoin is a token. The £5 note in my pocket is a token. One is printed on a bit of plastic, and the other is not. That is the ONLY difference. They're both just tokens. ....and...
