    My mate was on r and r in Egypt, went scuba diving , had a coffee on the boat and puked at 20 metres , panicked , said instructor saved his life .... Have of being safe in water is learning to not panic , if the wave takes you then try for the next gap etc, I was in hysterics once watching a girl freaking out because a fish (fry) touched her I honestly thought I was going to drown by laughing ....

  3. I have a Makita 4.5 " grinder that's been hammered for 5 years, cost £80 , lads but screw fix makitas ones for forty lasted days so I went to buy a Hitachi and fella in shop recommended the Makita , I said they were dying on site, he said Makita did a China deal with screw fix were half the weight of mine ....company can lose reputation overnight these days silly way to go imo
  4. I sent my mate a pic of my Milwaukee grinder and drill when I bought them, he sent me a pic of about £4k worth of erbauar kit tosser ?
  5. It's more about where it's made, but if you vote with your feet on this you'll end up with more products being made in USA , Australia, UK etc.
  6. It is but with all these conglomerates the parent company in Chinese , based in Hong Kong. I was looking at danner boots, most of which are made in USA but the model I wanted were made in Vietnam....

    I don't think working class males wear tracksuits on a night out, I don't ,and I'm in work wear most of the time so it's nice to Don my shirt and trousers or a nice sweater , imagine getting doled up for a night out and being surrounded by people in trackies and trainers, no tar...
  11. I think there's probably a slight crack in centre of it....
  12. I have no idea. If that's the case he's a mong. Lol.
  13. I've seen pictures, it doesn't look like something to weld. What sort of pressure is this under ? Could the damaged face be machined or is it a scrapper?
  14. A mate sent me this question, I've asked for pictures which I'll post when I get them. So is this a common fault , is it repairable , is there somewhere to source cheaper parts etc, thanks in advance.... Got a welding question Lad of work got has got a semi 12G and it’s got a small crack 3-5mm in the breach housing. Where the barrel meets the breach just above the cartridge trap door. Could this be welded, new part is around £900 guns only worth £1200??????

    It's crazy the effect TV can have on the mind , I sat and watched jaws with my mum when I was about four , apparently told her don't worry it's only ketchup lol. But if I'm out in deep water or above weed beds I start getting sharks in my head lol, I had a couple of beers on a beach once and went for a cool down , I was bobbing around when a lilo tumbled past , anyways I'd swim towards it and it would tumble on blown by the wind. I turned around and could barely see the beach , and to top it off started imagining sharks below, that was a long fast swim, tbh cramp kills more people than sharks

    My kids swim twice a week, took a while to find a decent place , eventually found a private school that does lessons as part of its charitable obligation. Kids enjoy it , I love being in the water, and have always swam, started going twice a week after work lane swims , only breast stroke in slow lane . I found it awkward everyone has a different pace but I felt better for it and went a dozen times, the sauna made it worthwhile , I like swimming in the sea and lakes , I'm thinking about some lessons , just want to be more confident and efficient in my front crawl . Good on anyone learning stuf

    I wasn't being serious , it was a comical affair , we didn't get crisps , had the bar below ask for a bottle of tuica though lol....it was great to see folk from all walks of life coming together, I do enjoy keeping it simple seems easier for people to let their hair down, I've been to wedding with people buying £500 bottles and £50 a shot of whisky but it pressurised the event I feel , luckily my mate gave me a handful of bar tokens ??
