Aye, must admit that when I went over to one of my brothers houses ( several brothers rather than several houses for each IYSWIM) in Normandy, they sure do look after the roads well, the worst road I saw over there was like the best here. Made me wonder who gets all the money thats not spent on...

I've bought some from Machine Mart but I think it was made by Briggs & Stratton.

Before we go too far I'd like to point out just how much difference fully developing North Sea Oil wouldnt make. This might demonstrate it. Clicky here

My work is pretty close to home at the moment so a tank of diesel lasts about two and a half weeks. Before Netanyahu and the orange one started this badly thought out bleedin mess I was just putting almost a tankfull in every two weeks. Now I'm doing less driving about on the weekend but topping...

How many mass shootings in the US per capita versus the UK? Its not rocket science, restricting gun ownership greatly lessens it. Might not stop it completely but please dont be obtuse.

Bit cheeky giving misleading info about origins and especially materials but in the current climate given the choice I'd rather not buy American anyway. Other peoples mileage may vary.

Desert Drifter. The bloke is dead now as his car was hit by a truck but his output is still well worth a look. Lot of stuff about Native American dwellings up on cliffs and so on. Nice chilled delivery and well shot.

My wife does online shopping through Tesco. Err... it's not rocket science and saves all that traipsing about in a supermarket on a weekend. My daughter and I can usually get round a supermarket fairly sharpish but my lovely wife needs about an hour and a half to get through the first three...

As an aside, I often have Chai (tea, ish) and the wet leaves from that take ages to go manky. I've forgotten them in a cafetiere (cos why bother getting a posh teapot when my existing one works just fine) and left them for an embarrassing amount of time only to discover they hadn't gone the way...

Kind of begging to be turned into a friction folder eh?

Some bumf from Lee Valley tools about some of the techniques. Clicky here.

Last place I saw steam bending used metal duct pipes with plywood end caps and a wallpaper stripper to provide the stea.. That was to bend the gunwhales for boats. They steamed it and got a shift on to bend it round a form in one go before the lignin hardened up.

Aye, likely right but mebbe not bother making spoons or chopping boards from it though eh?

I'd never seen (or at least noticed) Black Locust til I went to Berlin a few years ago. Masses of them with properly evil long thorns and reading up on them I read they're pretty toxic. I assume you've read up on that but I'd be remiss if I didn't mention it.

Doubt it, the the beta particles it emits are very low energy and are stopped by about 6mm of air so the container the tritium is in will stop them. Also as its such low energy it won't create gama rays via the bremsstrahlung effect.

The hospital I was born in used to be the workhouse. In fact its one of my tenuous claims. Building I was born in was a workhouse (long before I was born). Went to school with a Cenobite (girl a couple of years above me played in the original Hellraiser film). Worked for the company that made a...

Tritium has a halflife of 12 and a bit years so if its 20 years old it will be pretty dim by now. Just over 30% of what it was at the start of the 20 years. "Isotope Information Isotope: Tritium (Hydrogen-3) Beta emitter used in exit signs, weapons Half-Life: 12.3200 years Decay Constant...

Domestic moggies take a huge amount of small birds and so on.

I found the music off Amazon Music to be a right faff if I was using an Android device to download it. This was music files I'd paid for mind. However I could download it onto a PC then transfer files over onto my phone and could play it without Bezos sticking his oar in for blackmaile style...

Can't be a consultation, a consultation is when they actually listen to the interested parties.
