I know they don't show it, but my balls appreciate everything you do for them.
And yes I know about what you did in the shop, it made the local paper, the Wrexham Wankwipe. Your face had been pixelated, but I recognised the Gary Barlow tattoo.

Drats, sussed... The salesgirl was so impressed with the size of the imprint, she gave me a discount. In fact, the residue it left saved her from going to the shops later and buying some parmesan.
Marco.
Mmm, tasty! She's a licky girl, and I should know. Sorry I meant lucky girl, Freudian slip. :)

As everybody seems to be talking about booze and pubs, I thought I'd mention that I'm thinking of starting to brew my own beer.
My father in law used to brew his own and turned out some wicked lager style beers. He got me well pissed a few times. Bloody nice bloke he was.
Anybody here brewing?
Used to when young. Lagers In Those days were crap but good hops based ales were pretty good.
I mostly made wine and champers
Ive got a huge brew kit in house for ginger beer. Must get it made sometime
I tried making my own wine: bought a 'how to do it' book, all the equipment and made a start. But although the outcome was palatable, I was not encouraged sufficiently to pursue the endeavour.
To be blunt, it was just too much hard work and too long to wait for the result.
Actually, being a skinflint, I was hoping home brewing might be a cheap way to organise some booze.
Used to brew gallons of wine before our move to France. Had a small cellar that was the perfect temperature for storage and built a temperature controlled fermenting cabinet. It was big enough for 3 five gallon tubs plus a couple of demi-johns.
Made lots from fresh fruit, including Plum, Rose Hip, Apple, Strawberry, Blackberry, Elderberry, plus Chilli and parsnip.
Had a few of bottles that blew their corks so the smell down the cellar was wonderful when that happened.
Just trying to remember the maximum number of bottles, I think it peaked at 150.
:cool:
So that's where your username came from :)
I need to replace the RCA cables on my Aiwa TT. Any tips on some quality cables that I can source ,as the fine very fragile wire on the originals , is severly testing my patience , in soldering new rca plugs on it !!:scratch:
I have found a Gotham phono to phono cable . I like the quality wire it contains , and its a spare ,so I may well cut it in the middle and bare the ends (after putting some red and white heatshrink on to indicate which was which) and solder it in in place of the original.
Sometimes I think I am talking to myself lol
I'm sure everyone's just waiting to see how you get on before commenting :) No comment from me though as I haven't a scooby doo what you're up to.
Cheers Steve . I never make myself plain . Better to have asked the question on the Aiwa TT restoration thread I have ben using over on Analogue Art

You should maybe go on the DIY room Anto? Sounds like you are doing a complete rebuild on this thing.
Successfully repaired an electric drill today. Surprisingly easy as it was held together by screws, unusual these days as most domestic electrical good are deliberately designed not to be repairable.
Not so with a food blender/liquidiser, which had a broken switch. Whilst I could open up the base of the motor, the switch had been glued in place and could not be removed. So the whole lot had to be thrown away!
I got an electric hedge trimmer last year for a really good price, and got all of about 5 minutes out of it before cutting through the cable. Instead of my usual method (bodge) involving block connector and insulating tape, I thought I would be a smart arse and do it properly. I took the thing apart, intending to re-attach the now slightly shorter cable, but when I removed the last screw, a spring flew out of the gap and brought a few more unidentifiable bits with it.
After leaving it sulking in the garage for a few months I faced up to reality and launched it into the bin.
I'm pretty good at changing light bulbs and toilet rolls though.
I once swapped out the blower on a girlfriend's Mk3 Escort. Hooked up one I got from a wreck in a scrapyard and it worked first time. Couldn't believe it. That was the pinnacle of my electrical engineering career. Of course I never let on to my bird, just played it the old low key 'Any fool could do it' - Triple word score there lads.
I have actually rebuilt or repaired just about every kind of machinery that's come my way at one time or another.
Lol... Remember what I've always said about today's 'disposable society'?;)Quote:

After you gave her a blower job, I expect she was suitably grateful. :D
Yesh, and even more so, he trimmed her 'hedge', too!
Marco.
My hedge was trimmed the other day. [emoji41]
Neighbour came over tonight and washed my window for me. Nice of her.
You're back in 'Carry On...' World again man, snap out of it.Quote:

Some bird must have had the shits. Lol
The Perseid meteor showers will be here this weekend. Trouble is there's more cloud on the way, so chances of seeing the shooting stars may be slim.
Always the way! [emoji37]Quote:

Probably had an ulterior motive - she probably couldn't see you walking round in your trollies as your window was so mucky, and needed step ladders to see you over the hedge.Quote:

If you were at the centre of a circular room with walls being a single mirror all the way round, what would you see reflected?
Dunno but it sounds like a Bruce Lee film.Quote:

An experiment with a cylindrical mirror-foil ring and a camera could be interesting.
If you started against a wall facing mirror You would start off fairly normal then as you moved toward centre you would see yourself get smaller then get bigger until all you can see is your face then as you move toward wall behind your image would flip upside down and then recede. I think. Lol
Do you live anywhere near a field of rye Geoff lol?
Another interesting mirrored effect is your reflected image is always same size irrelevant of how close you are to mirror. About 50% of actual. It may look bigger or smaller but isn't.
still trying to find this video i saw on this subject. was interesting. another thing it said that i remember was that our view of ourself is, obviously not the view others see due to mirror reversal, but if you used a flexable mirror and curve it to right angle you will see 2 images of yourself. the one you normally see and the view others see.
a ha, it was on my other pc..lol
