People actually do proper PAYG still?

Giffgaff Goody Bags FTW.

I switched to 1pmobile*. So far it's been fine. It piggybacks off EE.


* It costs,,, well, I'll leave that as an exercise for the student.

Ok let see.

£11.95 for 90 minutes work,that's about £7.97 per hour. Sound reasonable?

Nice try. If I'd known it would take that long I'd have made charitable donations and run down the credit before switching and saved myself the hassle. As it was, I was stuck with it. I'd already spent the time by the time I realised I would have to spend the time.

The cost to you would be substantially more than that. And that's with mate's rates.

Adverts on the radio, telling us all about their broadband, broadband this, broadband what........but that's the question, broadband what? What is it that they're selling with a bandwidth which is broad?

Just watched a film written by SAS man Andy McNab. Bit poor but drew me into watching till the end.

The plot was that 3 varying officers were all corrupt.

WTF. The writer made his money form his SAS days then portrays them all as corrupt.

Twat

Oh. Another. Athletics is my 2nd fave sports behind bike racing.

Straight away some dozey tart says summat like one UK athlete gets a podium.

WTF?

This covid malarkey. Test started showing negative over the weekend. Great. Even started feeling better.

Today I've got a stonking headache, cough back again, all bunged up and, just to top it off, lost my sense of smell and taste. Test still negative.

Just fuck off, covid. Getting on my fucking nerves now.

One of my customers and her sister got it at Christmas. Both in there 80's and while the sister was in bed for two days my customer only had the sniffles however. On the bright side covid has all but rid her hay fever. Only a slight runny nose when the pollen count is high so its not all bad

Silicone sealant, I bloody hate the stuff and I'm shite at using it. Not helped by the "chequer plate" tiles I was having to seal against.

This is the kit you need. Gives professional results even when used by an average DIY-er like me.

Some people are so shit with it they have to use masking tape. Or so I am told.

[mangocrazy]

All I can say is that whatever your level of expertise you will get better results with Fugi than without. I would also admit to having used masking tape with it on the odd occasion.

I think I may invest in one!

Ordered standard 46.3mm bearings which Pen's nephew brought over. They are for the wheels on our heavy steel gate.
Wheel came off easily but had to smash the old wheel bearing out. Then I found that the new bearings were only 42mm. Bollox.

I had to bash the old broken shell back in and a few ball bearings so that the wheel will turn. Thankfully the gate still slides, albeit a bit clonky.

The bearing finally collapsed today. No shops have anything similar

So I bodged a wooden bush. Lots of oil and it slides nicely. 2 collets fit inside for the bolt to slide on. Not the wood itself.

Was quite proud of myself

That will probably last for years.

Really? We're not even going to discuss the type of wood used? Oak might last for a bit I spose (it doesn't look like oak) If its pine I reckon it'll last til tomorrow.

That said - I glued the engine on my 406 about 40 thousand miles ago. All the keyboard-experts laughed ....

Lignum vitae is the wood you want, very hard and used to be used in ship's blocks. Police truncheons used to be made from it too iirc.

It was an offcut of the Riga wood that they built our pergola from.
