It ain’t too easy being a mod, I have been press ganged on a vintage caravan forum and it can be quite difficult having to traipse through posts to be sure they meet criteria and to have to formally warn folk is an awful task. But luckily the forum is quite a calm one. But also trying to organise annual rally’s and get togethers can also be difficult when you settle on a date using a diplomatic process and then get called bias thanks for all all the hard work chaps, and welcome to the next generation.

Between the council tax rise and the increase in the water bill this year it’s disgusting! Less policing, less council run services, schools, libraries, swimming pools closing and the state of the pavements, roads, streets unswept, now they want to install and pay a mayor an inflated salary. That’s just in Newcastle. And after MPs just gave themselves yet another hefty pay rise well above inflation yet again.

I have one of those that works on my laptop and the image is fine. I used it while doing the valve faces in Hawkeyes Webley. It was a god send. It also helps when looking down the back of an engine for a bolt or nut I drop as it comes with a clip on magnet!

Yeah, he just mentioned underlever! In a lot of respects the martini action is a lot cooler. Used in colonial era rifles used at rourkes drift etc. It’s only draw back was it’s single shot capacity unlike the Winchester action!

There is a winchester action 410 available! And the greener singles have an under lever too Here http://www.dauntseyguns.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=ROL83036B&cat=1400

Odds are it’s an all brass movement and the pivot points have dried oil and gunk. Or perhaps worn out. overwound is a misnomer! Basically if you WERE to over wind you would snap, or dislodge the spring. These are two a penny clock movements and you MAY be able to swap it out for a one that has seen little use! But if you strip it down you will need to release the spring tension first. This needs to be done carefully as it can destroy the arbour if it releases all its energy in one flash. It’s quite therapeutic repairing clocks. But can also be a pain when you need to stake and broach the pivot holes and polish the pivots.

A small holding? Requiring a strimmer? I think he requires a couple of goats

Oh the irony 👍

The lordship halo fell and started strangling besides what with brexit we may not get grapefruit anymore! so need to unload them while I can

Better pic! While they are not serrated they ARE double edged with one edge being a good sharp, edge and the opposite side ground but not razor sharp to cut away the flesh from the skin! I believe the sharp edge is to cut the fruit into bite size pieces! They are definitely grapefruit knives

They are curved but the angle of the camera doesn’t show it!

I have a set of 6 Scotia grapefruit knives. Faux bone handles, beautifully finished with a flash of red in the bolster. The blade depicts a thistle bush and is stamped stainless. They seem very well built. But I can not find any others like them? All the bolsters I have seen seem to be plain. There is no case for these as it was apparently damaged beyond repair? Mum just banded them up and put them away in a Tin of kitchen bits. I can’t ever recollect seeing these as a kid so must have been someone else’s as mum never used them. Looking for £10 posted?

Something a little different. I have a pair of vintage rather ornate knife “cutlery” stands. These are I believe silver plate, no hallmarks that I can find, depicting a bowing swan on each shoulder. Really nice these! A chap on the bay of E has ONE for sale at €28 plus post? I am am looking for £20 for the pair “posted” thanks.

I had this problem after buying a seal kit for a Shinsung Career from Chambers! The main air cylinder tube seals were not the right thickness. Put the gun back together and I couldn’t even build the pressure as the air just rushed past the seals. I took a calliper and measured the original seals against the new and there was half a millimetre difference meaning one millimetre overall. Contacted them to get “we sell thousands and nobody else has complained” not we’re sorry to hear that, the customer is always right! Just straight into defensive mode! If buying from other sources be sure to buy high shore hardness or they won’t last. If memory serves me correctly I got shore 80 or 90 nitrile seals. And assemble using silicone grease only. 👍

We had a bit of a ruffles at the discos before I walkers her home for a bit of hanky panky!

My ex put a wotsit in my ear when I nodded off and proceeded to bite it. The noise was so loud I woke with a start. Scared the hell out of me to be fair and I still steer clear of women carrying wotsits to this day!

On Leyden I wholely agree

The newer ones (certainly my 2008 panda 1.2) are great. I get phenomenal mpg, parts are cheap, mine has done 80k + and bar the rear brake cylinders it’s been amazing. Not the fastest car, but it’s good enough. In the NCAP it rates the same as the Honda jazz. Only down side was rear head restraints are not standard! But I love the thing. And would have, (will have) another when this one is traded in.,

To prevent people from cloning the plate to avoid speeding fines perhaps 🤔 some people have been known to sell stolen cars with clone plates and sell the car stating they misplaced the documents and you need to apply for them and they only cost blah blah blah! But you end up out of pocket and with no car!

Cheaper to leave them where they are for the locals to deal with 🤔

Personally ALL the teachers who agreed to their students going, should be fined the same as parents are for taking their kids out of school for a holiday, and the schools should lose that day of funding, and wages for the day refused also!

But like my trip home from York yesterday then mike! Stuck waiting and loads of trains delayed and cancelled as someone had been struck by a train. There was nothing in the news yesterday but hope they were alright!

Bringing parts of London to a standstill causing more pollution, causing more policing to be transported the the area meaning more fuel, all supping coffee shipped from the equator and sold from “wait for it “ coffee vans that burn fuel, all with cameras, phones made in China, made of plastics, and chemicals from all over the world, probably all have cars parked somewhere to go home in, the kids were probably taken there on coaches and trains. It all makes perfect sense.
