Is this a woodworking or pedantry thread??!!

To say nothing of organising your wood!! Phil

I'll have to keep an eye out on eBay for poor jointed beds and ones with asymmetrical arches then!! Phil

But where is all this cheap electricity coming from? We are using more and more of it and the generating is struggling to keep up and as for the distribution!!!! I'm trying to 'De-carbonise' a number of buildings including schools by installing ASHP but we need more power ie a 3 phase supply...

Yes Roger, numbers and capacity to charge quickly is the real issue. Has no one in the government, civil service, climate change people etc, gone down the M5 to Devon/Cornwall on a bank holiday!! There are queues already for fuel and it only takes 5 mins to fill and pay!! Phil

Like a good many contributors, I work. In my case as a Building Project Manager so I have a number of small to medium sized projects o-going at any one time. I travel to each at least every other week for meetings, inspections etc. When I was based in London I could get round 3 sites in a...

Good idea. After all India is 5 1/2 hours ahead of us now so they clearly have a 1/2 hour compromise!! Phil

So graceful. We saw a pod from a boat out of Baltimore (Eire) complete with some very young ones. What an experience!

That's all very well BUT There's no atmosphere!

Sorry, Phil, Summer started in June and ended in June this year!! It's just that it's taken a long time going! Phil

I remember them with a great deal of fondness. What wonderful wordsmiths they both were. The one I still remember was the, Frank Muir suggestion, as the the origin of 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'. The explanation was a number of things he had to remember when his wife returned from...

There's always the difference between 'Can' and 'May' to sort out the pedants! Phil

What a lot of useful ideas for using hot glue. I must get mine out more often (they can't arrest me for that!) I use small dabs it for sticking sections of antler onto a wooden base, held in a chuck when I make Cufflinks for antler. It's the only way of holding a completely random shaped...
