But Techno will probably damage himself

I suppose that's better than abusing himself

Brings religion into it as sly dig at a previous poster, who upset a few posters on another forum with religious views

I managed to stab my left thumb with a kitchen knife yesterday.

Hang on......

I was trying to do my bit to recycle as much stuff as possible.

(I always slit the slightly shiny paper from tins.....'Cos I don't think that that paper's recyclable .......Wash out the tins (Soup/dog food etc)....Put the shiny paper on the fire.. Put cleaned tins into the recycle bag.)

I slipped with the knife. .....What a surprise.

Cheers - Philo of the 8 fingers & one thumb.

Sympathy. My left thumb is wrapped up in a bandaid for similar reasons.

Indeed, I would advocate that we all put a band aid on in solidarity with our forum chums. However, recent newspaper reports indicate a worldwide shortage of band-aids, alluding to a secret cache somewhere in the western part of Wales ...

Da bug! How did our learned discussion of generic thread get tangled up with one on lacerations?

... but we haven't mentioned Centurions for ages!


This picture even has a Churchill in the background!

Obligatory comment about the phallic nature of tanks.

[Last Hussar]

Insult to Nobby because the ONE thing that doesn't fit on thread is Centurion Tanks.

I am afraid that The Centurion tank had lots of threads, in fact every nut and bolt in its constructon had a thread (Probably Imperial or  Whitworth)on it, and even the barrel was rifled so that is a thread of sorts!

Perhaps we should be discussing the pros and cons of  various thread Standards To name but a few

British Association screw threads (BA)
British standard brass thread
British Standard Cycle
British standard fine thread (BSF)
British standard pipe thread (BSP)
ISO metric screw thread
Unified Thread Standard (UTS, including UNC, UNF, UNS and UNEF)


I never knew (or TBH cared) there were so many!

I am sure someone on the forum can get excited about them ! - Cue Nobby

You know when people tell you to get screwed?  This isn't what they meant.

My neck hurts, this morning.
