A socket set and torque wrench for spawn 2. That'll be them servicing their own van then.

Ryobi 18ga cordless brad nailer What a time to be alive.

Ryobi 18ga cordless brad nailer What a time to be alive.

I’ve got the 16ga one, it is great. I toyed with the 18ga but wanted something a touch heavier duty.

I’m seriously tempted with the P360 stapler but they are only available in the US.

I bought a Mavic drone, been meaning to get one for a while and I'm glad I did.

These new devices make it terribly easy to take nice pictures/vids, with just a little bit of skill (which I don't have) I bet you can do some spectacular stuff and challenge the professionals.

Sod it, a thread over in the other place rekindled my love for the A10, my favourite flying machine, so I thought I'd get a couple of these for my book case ;

A pair of 2N3053's to finish off a project

Now all I have to do is figure out how the damn thing works

You're going to make little men, aren't you?

How did you guess?

Just bought and fitted a little box that means I can now open and close the roof on the car with the remote, 3 presses to make it work. Silly but this is how the car should have been, not sitting in it holding a button down.
Surprisingly happy about it.

Also, ordered the decking so I can sit in the sun at the top of the garden, sadly delivery is in June, but I can wait!!

Mine has that from BMW, its called comfort access. I just hold the unlock/lock button down to lower/raise the roof. It's a pretty cool feature...

I had to add one of those to my Celica as the only way I could park the car and get out of it was with the driver’s window down due to the curve of the glass.

Of course, the mighty BMWs have it as standard so we can vent the cars as we approach them.

Yum.

Above link won't work for everyone and no way to edit post... apologies if you see it twice

So, once again..

Mr WD was so happy with his Harman Revel Performa3 206 floor standing for the music lounge that he bought another pair for the TV room a few days ago! Have we had some faffing about with microphones setting the audio up in both rooms!

[David]

So you have an audio room and a tv room.....you will be telling us next you have a room for cooking and one for washing.....!!!!

Ryobi 18ga cordless brad nailer What a time to be alive.

I have a Hitachi 16 gauge brad second fix gun and a full on framing nailer from De-Walt.
The De-Walt has a flywheel I can hear spooling up before it fires (50-90mm framing nails) and I 'think' the Hitachi is basically a one shot rechargable compressor like your Ryobi. Not sure though, it just works.

I will never again buy a fucking unreliable overpriced gas powered piece of shite Paslode nail gun, those bastard things cost the about half a grand and the first fix guns especially need to be serviced regularly and they still break down at the most inopportune moment.

Purchased by someone else to give to me as a thank you.



Bigger chunk of meat than I was expecting! Tea bag for scale!

[KungFooBob]

That Sol Mar stuff from Lidl is alright, I get the mixed meat platters.

I'd give that ago, however I'm a spanner and I'd end up cutting it too thick and ruining it.

Just a heat gun off Ebay. The ones in B&Q cost about twice as much and only had two heat settings. This one is adjustable from 80-400 degrees C.
So far I've only used it on a couple of doors on its Trinity Site White Sands New Mexico setting but it has another seven or eight lower settings.

Oh and new formula Nitromors is shite, thats why I bought the heat gun.

Sausages. But not just any old sausages....

There were some (locally) famous sausage makers 'round these 'ere parts, called Kennedy's. The wife's grandfather loved them and we'd have to bring him bulk supplies when he moved out of the area. Bizarrely, despite their cult status, the shops closed, one by one, until the last one in Bromley shut up shop over ten years ago.

Such is the legend, there is a ropey old website dedicated to them: http://www.routebus537.veryold.net/kennedystribute.html

Anyhow, fast forward to last year and a poncy new butcher-cum-deli opens in Locksbottom. I hear on the grapevine they had managed to track down an old Kennedy's employee who knew the recipe and, like the last surviving member of an ancient order, passed it on to the new kids on the block.

Told the father-in-law who dropped everything to get down there and buy some and, having just had a sausage sandwich, I've to say, they're a bloody good banger. And as far as I can remember, true to the old recipe.

Happy days.

Thinking about giving the car a wash at the weekend, unfortunately Amazon are out of their 'basics' brand so I thought I'd get some proper job Gtechniq instead.
