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. :-[ :D.....What a surprise.

Cheers - Philo of the 8 fingers & one thumb.  :P

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 ...

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

Though I'd never try it......Because I'm sure I'd 'do it wrong', and end up doing exactly that.....When Mr Neck has had a damn good whinge, in the past, I'd thought about trying to find a neck brace...inserting a couple of strong ring hooks in the sides, and then 'dangling' to stretch my neck.

Like I say....I'm not going to try that.
Mr Neck has been fairly good until recently, but in the last week it's really been playing silly sods.

Why would want to recreate a war that lasted less time to happen than it would to play.

And one had hoped that mewlings about Aztecs would have stopped, mind pussies are NEVER satisfied (bet this un gets deleted).
