Hi Is there any way of achieving similar results without the aid of a vacuum chamber? I might only want to do half a dozen or so a year as a small hobbyist. Phil

I've had to issue court proceedings for reclaiming debt 3 times. Each time I won. One the second occasion, the debt collectors were called in. The debtor gave them a false name. They didn't like that apparently!! Last time, in spite of the debtor claiming they had no money, lo and behold a...

One word Shocking!

Just curious as to why a certain president didn't come with a health warning!!! Phil

I loved my bright yellow Spitfire. Wonderful to drive, turned on a sixpence and with the hood down and 'Layla' blaring from the sound system, what could be better. I also loved my company car a Citron which glided everywhere, raised itself when going through floods and handled really well Phil

Bl00dy Hell!!! What speeds they get to!!!! Phil

H&S Guy wanted COSSH assessments for:- Bio Feed plant food in someone's desk Tipex Got very short shrift from Senior manager and a trip to Coventry from the rest of us. This included missing him out on emails re drinks after work etc!! We had prepared for a possible RA for beer flavoured...

I remember talking to a saw mill owner some time ago who wouldn't have any more Plain Trees from London. Too much shrapnel kept blunting his saw!! Phil

I think that Snowdon has designated itself in Kent for the next 2 weeks as it is not 'An Essential Item'! If you're after wood, turning items and a good chat, Stiles & Bates are the place to go. I'm so sad I l'm so far away that I can't pop in and see what unusual timbers they have. Phil
