Never really go up, or at least stop, that way. Do I need to make a pastie pitstop on my way to the ferry?Count Steer wrote: Fri Nov 10, 2023 8:59 pm
Pasties are French, the word comes from Medieval Fronch, so them Bretons down in Cornwall imported them when they immigrated.
twpd turned up at mine after I had taken enough shit for his antics as victor meldrew, nothing happened but police were involved. We sorted differences out just before he diedPotter wrote: Thu Jun 09, 2022 8:49 amThis has been done to death, Nidge made comments that I took as a direct threat to take something into real life. I reported it, I even left the forum because of it (Weeksy I explained this to you a long time back in PMs). Maybe it wasn't serious, he might not have meant much by it, he might not even remember the original threat if it wasn't actually meant seriously, it was a few years ago now on TRC, but whenever he started along the same theme, even if it was a few years later, it got under my skin, so in the end I just called him on it.weeksy wrote: Wed Jun 08, 2022 7:22 pmThanks for the info, not a thread I ever visited much.Count Steer wrote: Wed Jun 08, 2022 7:17 pm
Got accused of stuff, got fed up with it and left. I'm just making a glasshouses/stones point.

My point about reporting posts still stands
It all originally started when some of us had malicious emails sent to our employers and there were incidents like (for example) Ants actual address being circulated to cause him misery - just like on VD when someone turned up to Stig's house to beat him up and had to be taken away by the police. This is the type of undercurrent that was going on, addresses being sent out, employers contacted, etc.
So I don't see the glasshouses/stones comparison, this wasn't about people ganging up to bully someone off a forum, this was two blokes arguing over direct threats that went off the forum and into real life - and we both flounced because of it.
It's v odd. It's almost like when they started making them in Cornwall the 'other' Bretons stopped. It looks like there's a Breton pastry which is a sweet thing and Breton pies which are fancy pies with chicken and wine etc in. I even found a Cornish woman who learned to make them when she helped her mum meet the demand for them at a Breton agricultural fair.DefTrap wrote: Fri Nov 10, 2023 10:08 pmNever really go up, or at least stop, that way.

It'd be a good bike Cherchez Le Pasty 'quest'....your bike, with a locally made pasty in Brittany.
(I know, translation is slipper!!) But my mates' 'cornish' pasties that she sells in her shop are the best AFAIK that's also the case with "Ciabatta"? Which incidentally is not a traditional Italian product at all, but rather a product of the 80s.
Heart Xmas was broadcasting in September!
We had a Philps pasty in Porthleven this year. Bloody lovely it was too! We had the one made with steak and it had nice and crusty pastry and the filling was lovely and peppery too! Now i'm wrestling with myself over whether to order some for delivery or not!Cousin Jack wrote: Fri Nov 10, 2023 6:07 pm No, Philps may be commercial but they are pretty reasonable. There is a huge commercial bakery in Indian Queens that produces real shite. And of course Ginsters in Bodmin.
Coulda been worse! I imagine Yorick was told this story in a past career.mangocrazy wrote: Sun Nov 12, 2023 6:52 pm Either way it should never have left the factory like that.
The same. I swapped the bolts round and same result. But, the left side bolt had a slight kink in it. Didn't stop it tightening up, but looked strange.mangocrazy wrote: Sun Nov 12, 2023 6:52 pm So did the RH side of the top yoke have a shorter bolt fitted than the LH, or is the thread depth on the RH side of the top yoke different to that on the LH side?
Either way it should never have left the factory like that.

Investigators determined that when the windscreen was installed 27 hours before the flight, 84 of the bolts used were 0.026 inches (0.66 mm) too small in diameter (British Standards A211-8C vs A211-8D, which are #8–32 vs #10–32 by the Unified Thread Standard) and the remaining six were A211-7D, which is the correct diameter, but 0.1 inches (2.5 mm) too short (0.7 inch vs. 0.8 inch).
I'd tend towards that view as well. If you can be bothered and have a set of vernier calipers, measure the depth of the thread hole on each side. I suspect the RH yoke thread had not been drilled and tapped to the same depth as the LH one. Or drilled off centre, perhaps?Mr. Dazzle wrote: Sun Nov 12, 2023 7:28 pm Could be a manufacturing defect in the clamp, rather than the bolts. Right bolts but holes are duff.
The bolts are OK. The hole not deep enough.mangocrazy wrote: Sun Nov 12, 2023 7:45 pmI'd tend towards that view as well.
