    Has anyone thought about stuck starter motor? Place it in reverse, remove handbrake (so long as your not in a hill) and shove it from the front. The click from memory is the stuck dog gear solinoid trying to put the cog onto the flywheel.

    Like owning an old French car, were suffering frequent breakdowns. Both if us setting the other off. If I have to visit a cat shelter anytime soon they’ll have to sweep me up. Not honestly sure we could go through this over again eventually.
    Don’t wish to imagine the loss of a an actual child. We were expecting the end, but never expected the strength of the reaction. Not much to distract us this evening.

    Your compassionate and kind people, but this has broken me like a twig. Feeling pathetic it does. The house is empty and she was only a foot long!

    Last night prolly had to go to an emergency vet as she began to suffer pain she couldn’t bear.
    X-ray images showed her jaw had a tumor which had removed much of her jaw and secondary’s on her lungs were also visible. She isn’t in pain now but I wish I could have just one more minute with her.
    Devastated here is an understatement.
    Thanks for you kind thoughts.

    Dusty here too, thanks. Dreading the visit to the vet next week. Her saying nothing can be done will break me like a twig I suspect.
    Don’t think I could remain calm with Cattery owners, either that or get all wet eyed and snotty on their ass! Let alone kicking across the room.

    Mogrim, I think ours came out of the same production line. Still bothering for food even if it hurts eating it.
    Loves laps, hiding under the duvet, even if your trying to sleep. She’s a huge part of our lives, family.

    Length is problematic, I understand it’s tricky but frames grow from 44 cm to 60 odd in height, but length drops by just 10 cm. every bike I own is too long if it’s right for my leg length.

    Wasn’t the Afro arrow copied almost entirely by the good old ussr as the fox at mig 25, or so I heard, the factory was riddled with agents.

    Just seen it, utterly fantastic version of a super camp Bradley.

    I like the radios artwork discussion and his Claire personality amuses. Don’t know what to make of his crockery but he’s gone up in my estimation since.

    He broke my head long before my body was spent, take a while to mature in your head. The informations a slow burn just like how it’s put in your head. But I’ve found its stuck, and works and occurs without thinking too much about it.

    Do enjoy project binky too, lucky engineering or complete madness with talent.
    I like other stuff
    Hasta Alaska driving a amped van from South America to guess where.
    Another where an American is building a huge boat in his back yard out of folder steel sheet. It’s massive engineering and possible not going to fantastically seaworthy at the end but he does love welding.
    Other stuff is more game and work related stuff.

    If you shoot through the roof and hit it, it’s going to bleed through the roof which might be more of a horror movie than the pattering of tiny feet.

    I would buy a photo if it was good, the stuff I see on the site with the word Sunday in are at best boring and un exciting taken with the minimum in effort and the result is worth very little imo.

    ‘All Coppers are Bastards’ Almost dis-proven a couple of times but generally about right.

    I would buy one of those pieces of work in a heartbeat. Totally wasted on the MBUK kiddies.
    Love your stuff Joe.

    I wore protective glasses but rubbed a tiny bit of metal into my eye off my gloves. Big mistake. Had metal removed from the eye in very late night a&we visit. I could feel it against the insid of my eyelid.
    Hey ho I thought, removed and done.
    Wrong
    Eye relaxing juice he used to check for others refused to wear off, blinding day after spent at home with the curtains drawn.
    Thursday visit to appointment at eyeball quacks for post attention check up concluded with the news,
    ‘it was steel, it rusted your eye, it is stained where it was, I’ll just remove it’
    I can discribe what happened next thus.
    Head vice plus dremel on eyeball while fully awake = I’m am never coming back here!

    I’ve got premier elements which is cheap and easy, final cut pro which isn’t. And I use Avid media composer which is as good as the brakes.
    Premier is the easiest to get half descent results out of cheaply.

    Stabilisation I use is in the video editing software. Using 4k or 2k footage gives you some leeway to zoom in and try to let it bounce the footage to remove the lumps.

    mikey-simmo

    I don’t want 4 k for the resolution, but you can stabilise footage better with that much extra space. 720 p at 240fps is fun though.

    mikey-simmo

    Higher than broadcastable resolution on the expensive one, faster more slow-down-able footage on the expensive one. The cheap one shoots full hd at standard frame rates but you can’t do much more with the footage if it isn’t exactly to your liking.

    Watched it today, didn’t think much of it. Fasbender acted the all off the set with display of nothing. But where did that scotch burd Lear to act? Genuinely cringeworthy.

    I hated doing oil changes as no matter what you do they always get onto you.
    I do like the ability to change the oil with known quality stuff and during the evening or on a day off so i don’t have to loose the car and a hand full of money.
    I fitted these to both car and camper. http://www.quickvalve.co.uk/
    hopefully it’ll change the way i do oil as I can tap it off without mess. Finger crossed.

    Around the 1 kilo is what I’ve got flying right now. I would not want to be below it if it fell. The full immersion goggles. You could argue stop the line of sight rules the caa require for vfr flying.
    Keep us posted as its a subject with lots of questions and few definitive answers.

    Brass let us know how that goes as it’s an interesting subject. I’ve never heard of someone doing it.

    From my reading of it. it’s ok ish perhaps. Flying in a public area is dubious due to the lack of control over the people vehicles around you. Using it to make money is against the CAA’s guidelines specifically. Air Charter is the law which forbids the use of them for money without completing several exams and qualifications. If you give the images away for free and it was considered safe to fly I doubt there is much you could do.

    I’d third that opinion. Bibs were very very small, I’m short and medium was over stretched to the point it pulled at the threads. Wouldn’t buy again.
    There are better out there I’m sure.

    If it was an image of mine I’d be expecting someone to pay for it – every image is owned by someone, usually those that took it so just taking images is simplistic and eventually you got caught.
    I’d barter for less money, if they own it, do check, and pay half split down the middle with the web designer.

    Whoever signs up for new top gear is going to need some absolute cast iron guarantees it’s going to work or they will be the face of a failed project. Nobody wants their career damaged so it might be unknows who get the gig. Less to loose although if Alan partridge and Chris Evans did sign up I’d gladly watch their careers go down the toilet!

    Almost every pair of shorts rather than 3/4 types are too long. I wasn’t in the navy but I want to see my knees! odd I know but the sight of those ‘shorts’ worn with white trainers and socks so that you can just see 5 inches of hairy pasty leg are horrific. Most of my shorts are taken up, either by the professional or by me. Either way at 5’7 I find shopping for them almost impossible.

    Agreed, your legacy normally lasts only a year or so in most sports but she set such a high bar is truly remarkable.

    Great ambassador for women’s in sport. And when did she become bloody gorgeous on telly too? Not that it’s important but it helps.

    I’ve ordered some short reach levers, 700 series, but Planet X can’t read and sent ultegras, which are lovely, but get us back to the same place we were before, just with less scratches and less money.
    Currently I’m trying to use an mtb front mech, and while the one I have is buggere through use it’s so much easier to shift with than the road one she had before. Do the mtb mechs use less tension in the springS?

    Bemused how it could be offered as different as they were, similar I grant you but not the same. No real apology over the phone – resigned indifference really. I can’t see how rewrapping something up, printing labels filling out forms and visiting a shop constitutes hassle free returns?
