  1. I worked in a hydraulic R&D lab where we tested hydraulic pumps, motors and transmissions to destruction. A great job and fun........shame the salary was shite ! Cheers.
  2. Doesn't NDT tend to try and avoid blowing things up ? ?? Cheers.
  3. As a poultry keeper, I can categorically state that none of mine have lips. Yours, on the other hand, I can't discount the possibility!?? Cheers.
  4. The Labour MP Rosie Duffield has said she will resign as a Labour MP if Eddy Izzard is allowed to stand on an " all woman short list", to be a Labour candidate. She said Izzard is NOT a woman, and other women Labour MP's have said they would also resign A hint of common sense in the woke madness that is Labour ? Cheers.
  5. Don't forget, most of the rest of the world is experiencing the same turndown, rising energy prices, rampant inflation. People turn to the $ and gold in these situations, nearly all currencies are weak against the $ and gold is over £1500 an ounce. The cynic in me thinks the money institutions will let it go so far the start buying cheap pounds and start a rebound. Cheers.
  6. I've been watching "The 70's" music shows on tv, and that track was played last night. A classic ? Cheers.
  7. Esoteric, mate, esoteric............? Cheers.
  8. I remember before the Russians were allowed to travel, and then when they were free to travel, places like Dubai, Thailand, etc, were flooded with them. Pandora's box was opened.......there's no putting them back in the box now . Cheers.
  9. A singer on the UK talent show, The X Factor, who Wilfy was alluding to ? Cheers.
  10. No Conspiricy there mC, read the last line ? Cheers.
  11. If the Russians simply turned it off, they would look like the bad 'uns, if it's a false flag, they can blame the Americans and the Ukrainians. If it was the Yanks or the Ukrainians, they can blame the Russians. " Real Politik", mate ? We'll probably never know who did it. Cheers.
  12. Haven't got a clue, just what I see on the news, but must be one of the ones that runs from Russia, through the Baltic to Europe. Cheers.
  13. Nordstream pipeline has been "blown up" under the North Sea . Americans, Russians, Ukrainians, who knows ? Put the news on Tomo, I'm going out with the dogs, can't be your personal Reuters all day ! ?? Cheers.
  14. I think you just made the whole thing up ! Why ? Because Nurse Ratched, ( Loise Fletcher), died last week ! Just kidding, mate , hope it's nothing too serious and everything turns out well ? Cheers.
  15. Labour's got a new slogan; "We are the political wing of the British People". Hmmm, sounds a bit like " the Chinese communist party is the political wing of the Chinese People's Liberation Army" Or " the Russian Politburo is the political wing of the Red Army" Or " Sinn Fien is the political wing of the I.R.A.". Doesn't sit quite right, somehow. Cheers.
  16. I know we shouldn't have to, these days, and it won't be everyone's cup of tea, (pardon the pun), but I quite like the idea of going back to basics. Getting by without the "luxuries" of life. Cooking and boiling a kettle on an open fire, I already catch and produce a lot of the food I eat. If the council would allow it, I'd have a goat on the allotment for milk, couple of pigs to fatten. I've just got my television tax demand, so I'm in the mood to do without the TV ? It all sounds a bit like going back to the 50's, and I'm not looking back thru' rose tinted glasses, I've been t
  17. And they can cut off supply to an analog meter just as simply. We are where we are mate, those with the power, control the power, sadly.......? Cheers.
  18. First seen them air pump vacuum flasks almost 50 years ago in the Middle East. The Bedouin loved them for their qawa and chai ? Cheers.
  19. Smart meter, mate....out of my control ? Cheers.
  20. I use it as a polite way of saying "insane" ? Cheers.
  21. "You don't get rich by spending money" ?? Cheers.
