    Fox proof garden and a fox den in the garden ? So not fox proof then.

    Don’t bother with weld mesh etc get a mains powered electric fence and run wires around the outside of the chicken mesh on insulators. Get the highest powered energiser you can afford.

    There was a report that predicted a 17% increase in traffic by holding the toll, dropping it could well increase that. The traffic west bound in the evening is already bad as it is and will only get worse.
    I predict that the Almondsbury junction of the M4 M5 and the M32 will be heavily congested with commuters from Wales.
    The economies of both sides will benefit and it will be fantastic for me personally

    You shouldn’t need to clean the drums with solvent unless you get label glue on it.So long as you don’t soak a drum in it you may be ok. If you take out the transfer belt you will probably find a line of toner that has stuck to it from when you cleaned the drums with IPA, if you are carefully you should be able to clean it off with IPA and a nice clean cloth

    Cleaning the drums with IPA is risky as it can reactive with Film and damage it. When you print an internal multiple page test print what happens ? And how does it compare to a print from your laptop

    The quick Release is for the guards in case a big stone or twig gets stuck between the tyre and guard. Instead of locking the wheel it pops out. My rat has track dropouts so I have fitted them to the rear as well so I can easily remove the rear wheel but still have the guards closely fitted to the wheel. You can buy the quick releases for a pound or so https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/mudguards/sks-secu-clips-for-front-mudguard-stays-per-pair/

    I can only comment on mudguards,I bought my rat sh and had some mudguard already fitted but they didn’t have the quick release on the front and removing the rear wheel was I right pain.

    I bought some sks Chromoplastic stays and quick releases and now they work sweet. If I was to start from scratch I would buy SKS Chromoplastic guards

    I love it when people say lift a floor board like it’s the easiest thing in the world, tongue and groove floor board can be a faff and as for chip board floors they are a right pain to get up and get back down properly

    As the bearing do not rotate fully and just move through 30% or so angular rotation forget all the super duper greases etc just pack it out with boat trailer bearing grease it is designed to keep out water so should be great for MTB frame bearings

    If you like Woods try ODV rum not as strong and as recommended my dad who had a tot of rum issued every day in the RN. It’s also great neat over rocks or with coke if you wish.

    El Dorado is available at Aldi at Xmas at much cheapness both the 8 and 15 year old (well has been for 2 years or so)

    don’t burn smokeless fuel and wood at the same time

    C and P from stoves online web site

    We do not recommend that you burn wood and coal at the same time: burning coal produces sulphuric acid and wood can contain a lot of moisture – this combination can coat your chimney in sulphuric acid solution which can quickly eat away at anything.
    Plus the conditions for burning wood efficiently are not the same as those for burning coal efficiently.

    What sort of BBQ do you have? grill or one with a lid

    Mikeypies
    Free Member

    as morphio said above

    the beach at Berrow,Brean and Weston has a gradient that changes and in parts is almost flat and combined with the rule of 12ths means that at times the tide moves at quite a pace . The prevailing onshore wind can increase this rate. Fortunately sandbars and channels do not form due to the underlying mud and clay.

    As the count stated although there are many signs every year people try to walk to the sea and get stuck in the mud and several people drive their cars into the mud, this has been mostly stopped at WSM as the cars are contained further up the beach.

    Amazing ribs is a great site for everything BBQ and has lots of recipes and most importantly explains how and why.

    For brisket and pork shoulder I cheat I just stick it on the kettle BbQ at a low heat using the snake method with fruit wood to smoke for 3 hours then I chuck it in the pressure cooker for an hour or so. Always works and keeps all the juices rubbish for bark but I don’t like bark so all’s good.

    Printing is easier now than ever before with NFC, aps and wireless built in on many home office and wizzards to install drivers using USB or Ethernet .

    For your low volume pick an inkjet over a laser unless you can bin colour.Do not buy a Xerox color cube although the print is great if they go wrong or you move or lilt is whist it’s on you might as well bin it

    Mac you have you fact wrong unless the law is different in Scotland

    https://www.gov.uk/guidance/prevent-the-spread-of-harmful-invasive-and-non-native-plants

    the part of the plant above ground isn’t a problem,its the rhizome you need to be wary about only a few mm is enough to start a new plant. If you picked a piece up on a ride and by chance it dropped off and sprouted in your garden so long as you either mowed it out or cut it down as soon as it sprouts it will die.

    well sorry to upset the apple cart but tonight’s show was way better than most of the last series of top gear which was getting oh so boring and way too predictable, the banter in the studio of old was cringeworthy at best.

    I had one of those and found it to be rubbish as the or pulpwood charcoal kept going out.

    Why, I first thought it was due to lack of airflow so I increased the airflow by drilling 10 or so 5mm holes in the base, result still rubbish.

    I think it’s due to the charcoal being in a metal band bowl and the ash smothering the charcoal

    pork belly is perfect for the BBQ we cooked this last weekend but tbh was a too salty for me

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/pork_belly_with_lentils_06680

    we cheat when doing pork shoulder and brisket, after 3 hours on the BBQ at about 120 it goes in the pressure cooker for an hour and a half all the flavour and super moist and guaranteed to fall apart

    I only have experience of a naze32 acro FC and configured it using baseflight. Just incase you haven’t already done so before you do anything please make sure the props are removed while you are setting it up as they bite and bite very hard.

    You need the throttle to go below 1000 for it to arm so you need to change as the default is higher

    I set the arm to a separate switch on the transmitter and set the props not to rotate when armed .

    The flight controllers on a drone as well as auto stabilising can be connected to a GPS and autopilot which can be programmed to fly a waypoint course, height can also be set so there is no need to control it other than take off and landing.
