I like the way your mind works...

Damn! Need to be resident in the states and I like where I live now.

Thank you!

Thanks Richard, I've never been one for all that social media stuff and something in me rebels at the thought of joining in, though I suppose this forum is just an old fashioned aspect of it. It makes me wonder how today's generation will react to the new media in 50 years or so - will they be...

I've just started doing a bit of stone carving again, first time in years and all those years ago I was a member of a stone carving forum, whose name escapes me now. I've spent ages online trying to find it or something similar without success, so I'm wondering if anyone on here knows of such a...

Yes - and you wouldn't have to worry about those nasty greenhouse gasses escaping in a few years, when the gubbins at the back rust away...

Looking forward to some jokes...

If only it were a joke...

Sold!

It is! Should I give you a ring?

Thanks Chubber, I've made a note of your details, but you may want to take your address and so on off an open forum... Cobbs.

PM'ed.

Hello Chubber, If Morag can't take them, may I please?

Hello all. I'm listing all this on behalf of my mother in law, whose partner is now sadly in the depths of dementia and therefore unable to put any of it to use. None of it is in my possession, so I can't really answer any questions except to say that none of it has had any real use to speak...

According to tradition, a Muslim martyr goes to heaven to find 72 (?) virgins waiting for him. Though in the case of an exploding pager, it would be hard to argue a case for martydom, as it would be involuntary, so probably not a joke after all...

I'm pretty sure PEG is what they used to stabilise the Mary Rose after it was raised form the seabed. Looked into using it years ago, when I was doing a lot of turning, but seem to remember you were very limited on what finish could be applied . Specifically, I think it was PEG 1000, but am...

Urine may be sterile when it leaves, but it plays a huge part in the nitrogen cycle, breaking down into ammonia and its by products and is a seriously good plant fertiliser - commercially made nitrogen fertilisers take the nitrogen directly from the air and are massively energy intensive to...

It always used to be used to great benefit, only stopped with the introduction of flush toilets and let's not forget that the largest amount of waste we produce is in the form of urine, which is hugely beneficial to growing stuff.

As far as fertiliser goes, we all produce significant quantities of it every day (some more than others...!) then spend huge amounts of money and use lots of scarce water to treat it and throw it away, though I accept that some of it does end up on the land.. Would it not make much more sense...
