Thank you all for the replies. I now have options to look through tomorrow. Too much choice is, apparently, not a good thing.

Very seriously, might it be worthwhile talking to a blind company? They will be able to provide plastic tube to the correct length, with a method of attachment and end pieces.

Collar is the better idea. More chance of shearing the dowell if you reduce the section near the supports. You also give yourself more options for corrections I.e. zip ties, jubilee clips etc.

Possibly engineering brick. You will need a sds drill on hammer and a good shatter proof / impact tungsten carbide drill bit.

Yes, that’s it! Cheers!

Been there too!

It’s a bit frustrating as I’ve tried all options!

Cheers for your help btw.

Inertia of additional compressed air will counteract any unsprung mass losses. Honest.

Yes, account email shows my username and option to change my password.

The email address I have saved does not show up in this page and does not match my username.

Check out the Birtley Lintels website. Load/span tables are included for each lintel. If you need help with loadings let me know.

I was once told ‘1515’ is a standard engineers code by an installer.

It hasn’t ever worked for any other alarm I’ve tried it on but it’s worth a try.

Last time i forgot my list, I asked the wife to take a photograph of it and send it to me via ‘WhatsApp’.

An old one of mine;

Who on earth passed its planning permission, it just looks so out of place on that backlane.

Seriously, garage door, garage door, big glass factory, garage door. Planners should not have let that through imo.

Not me I work on an oil rig

What tyres for the North Sea?

Yip, and I took the scenic route! Cant seem to warm up now though!

Got to survey some drains this morning. Think it can’t wait for a bit!!

You going ‘Manholeing’ in this weather!

A round thing that will enable large objects to ‘roll’ across terrain, oh, hang on a mo…..

‘bubble wrap’ style liner for baths but with big cells for comfort and insulation. Include LEDs that change color for no extra marks, but will look awesome in chav households.

“Oops are mistake”

Ironically correct.

Where’s the path. Full screen os maps with route builder and downloadable .gpx files.

Thread resurrection, blue seals or black as a replacement?

I would spread the load by screwing a timber ‘plate’ to the wall via a good number of studs. Buy the type that you pre-screw the female part into the plaster board (big helix) then fix the timber plate.

Then hang mirror to hooks in timber plate as normal.

EDIT; studs as trekster link

I prefer to use defamation , it makes italics so much simpler.

Just got back from a long ride and our lass has bought chilli and garlic chicken from the Chinese. Very nice but any suggestions for the smell of garlic for work tomorrow?

I had similar issues a year or so ago. Both my o/h and I downloaded a babyname app which changed our settings to wcdma only for some reason. Both our phones would loose reception and have no connectivity. Anyway, after eventually finding out what the problem was and uninstalling that app, I tend to run gsm mode so I have reception (posting this via gsm and out in the sticks).

To be honest, pretty much all of that other than the maths books would be of historical interest only. The transistor books were written within 15 years of it’s invention: we now have another 50 years of knowledge.

Yes, I totally agree. I’m not looking to make any money from these as such, but, as an engineer myself, some of the older text books are very helpful when you have to re-engineer older designs or to get an understanding of the thought process leading up to a final solution. If I’m honest, I’d rather sell all of them en-block to someone who will get something from them rather than ~£5 each on Amazon.

I;ve just spent some time cataloging the books and googling their title/ author.

The list is as follows;

Transistors applied-Philips Technical Library-1965

Mathematics for electronics with applications-Nodelman and smith-1956-Mcgraw Hill
The Principles of electric power transmission-H Waddicor-1964-Chapman & Hall

Transistor electronics-Arthur W & Lo Jakob Zawels-1958-Macmillan

The mathematics od servomechanisms-JL Douce-1963

Basic pulse circuits-Richard Blitzer-1964-Mcgraw Hill

A textbook of electricity-HG Mitchell-1960-Methuen

Electronic fundamentals and applications-John D Ryder-1964-Pitman

Technical Electricity-Davidge Hutchinson-1928

Engineering Electronics Ryder-1967-Mcgraw Hill

A text book of heat-GR Noakes-1960-Macmillan

Laplace transforms for electrical engineers-BJ Starkey-1958

Using Transistors-DJW Sjobbema-1964-Philips Technical Library

Electrical Circuits including machines-A Draper-1964-Electrical engineering series

Transistors theory and circuitry-KJ Dean-1964-Mcgraw Hill

Electronics and Power-1966-IEE

Servo mechanisms – An elementary textbook for scientists and technologists-John C West-1962

An Introduction to industrial administration-FRJ Jervis & WF Frank-1965
Tutorial Arithmetic-WP Workman-1926

General English for Technical Students-E Frank Candlin-1958
Elements of physical chemistry-Samuel Gladstone David Lewis-1963-Macmillan

Manufacturing Processes-JV Harding-1961

An introduction to infinitesimal calculus with applications to mechanics and physics-GW Caunt-1959-Oxford

An introduction to bessel functions-Frank Bowman-Constable

Chemistry for Engineers an introductory course-E Cartmell-1959-Butterworth

Please forgive the formatting as I have cut and paste from excel.

I think I’ll keep the Bessel Functions and Calculus books but I would like the rest to go to a good new home (To someone who understands them!)

I’ll post up thread in the FS section tomorrow if anyone is interested.

As mentioned above, offshore is booming and off the back of this, Ports are seeing more vessel movements on their quays.

Ports need a multitude of professions to operate smoothly and there is always the option to diversify once you are in.

Where’s the path then prtscr.

What sort of electrical engineering?

I’ll get a list later when I get home, but from memory, subjects included mathematics for electricians, pulse generators and circuitry.

That looks ideal, cheers!

Not one of mine, but my o/h was ordering something over the phone with Tesco direct. When reading out the code using the phonetic alphabet, she said

“Y for wank3y” then burst into fits of laughter!

First of all you need a craster smoked kippers.

Then you need to shop for fresh eggs, thick cut Brown bread and some full fat butter.

Then, choose the best cooking method for the eggs from above and combine with a liberal sprinkling of salt and cracked black pepper.

Perfect poached eggs; done.

(assumes toasting bread doesn’t need instruction)

Turn yer bike upside down for a few mins and cycle the forks through a few compression strokes. The oil in the forks will lubricate the wipers, seals and stanchions without introducing a dissimilar chemical to the system.

Where’s the path for os maps that you can plan and download .gpx files from, BUT, they only have a certain number of allowable map tile downloads from Ordnance Survey and as its late in the day, they have probably been used.

These hubs are identical to superstar switch hubs. In fact, superstar buy these from Novatech rebranded (as do Ibis of Mojo fame).

All spares and guides are available on the superstar website.

Is it because no self respecting bmxer would be seen dead in lycra?

I had a similar problem, turns out that I had once turned the media centre function which in turn was constantly trying to sync with windows media player. This had the effect of using up all available spare processing power and memory, leaving none for my programs to run.

Simple fix, turn this off (same place as games, I’m on my phone atm).

Then use a third party player such as VLC.

Google the above for a better step by step guide.

Post Office bicycles are painted red too……they also have special dispensation from Her Majesty to break the speed limit.

I’m pleased you are on my side :wink:
