    Nope clean forgot about getting to homebase for that wine cooler. Age is taking it's toll and the memory ain't what it... however the expression goes. Seriously though once I was in the UK I had a shed load of things to do and it just got downgraded down the list. Got too many projects on the go at the moment anyway. Like I need another cooker. I might wait till you finsih yours and buy one

    Yeah shame that stern words needed to be said, but given the "deny everything" card he played with your missus he just deserved the new anus you ripped for him and deserved it.

    Hope you get some good results from it.

    As for those watches for sale on Ebay. I was sorted tempted but then I look at my £11.50 Timex I got from Asda 4 years ago which is still working just fine and thought naaaah.

    The thumb is on the mend, thanks for asking. Did you manage to get to homebase for any wine coolers? I need a working thumb for the next level of tinkering.

    The face I was wearing was somewhere between furious and maniacal. Such a shame when things degrade to stern words.

    I have an antique pocket watch (not in the best of condition these latter days) from the late 19th century and I don't think there is anyone alive today who could repair it., A few decades back there was. I had a new brass gearwheel cut (by hand) which restored it to some sort of function. It was at that time in the late 1970's my only watch and of every day use. My dad used to have the skills to repair antique clocks, it was his hobby and he used to cut the delicate gears for them, but watches were just that little bit too delicate even for his skills.
