Re: The Great Economic Reset

The Brinks Mat heist haul needed 'diluting' (reducing in purity) and samples were found with whole copper pennies included (like fruit cake).

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

A couple of houses back (more like a half dozen actually) it was basically a bungalow with an upper storey and the eaves were 'open' to the winds with 'drywall' inner linings that circulated the cooling breezes throughout the property. Removing an electrical socket revealed a turbo blast of cold air...

Re: We need more

Yes, two years ago on December 17th I discovered that, despite having shoes with 'Commando soles' , I couldn't arrest the slide on a steep gradient of wet ice with water flowing over it. Reaching out with my right arm to prevent the fall merely dislocated my shoulder, leaving me to lie in the 'river...

"Just had the estimate for rethatching house and library. It is steep but would suggest 1/2 that of the UK."

Probably because they don't have to import the elephant grass?

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Another thing. Last night I woke up after the noise of my mobile phone falling off the bed onto the floor left me totally and completely disorientated with not a clue as to where I was, a concept that persisted for about a minute. I couldn't understand where the features of my own room had disappear...

TRABB force to bob2s, wishing you all the best for a long and healthy future. Meanwhile I am back in circulation from the hospital after my gut-prune. It was an eventful stay which extended longer than anticipated. I have been granted a bill of full health after extensive tests and a scan to investi...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

I am currently lying in hospital (planned) awaiting 3:30 tomorrow when I expect I will be relieved of a polyp on my internal exhaust pipe.
Just had my first (and last) 'sustainance' of the day - a mug of Oxo cube in hot water.
Cavok outside.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

When we had solar panels installed last year they came with wire fencing to prevent birds accessing under the panels. Might be worth thinking about that, there seem to be a few different systems available on line. GG Yes thanks for that GG, I have seen the fencing. Our panels have been on the roof ...

Re: My first car

I was feeling amorous with an earlier girlfriend, and I suggested that she should get into the back (of my estate car). :D
She declined, saying that she wanted to stay in the front with me . . . ^!

Re: My first car

I had a Rootes Audax Sunbeam Rapier Series IIIA. Engine big-end and main bearings 'went'. I laid underneath it and removed the crankshaft, which 'fell' onto me and winded me. It took me a while to recover sufficiently to extricate myself from the predicament. My then girlfriend (later my wife) claim...

I thought it was that men died WITH prostate cancer rather than because of it.

I believe there are repair shops where you can "Watch batteries fitted."

Useful if you should ever have the need to change your own watch battery.
