Machinery really does need understanding and love, it's the reason my wifes car wears out before mine does :rotfl:lostinrates wrote: »Thanks.
Yeah, smeone else's diy, fun, huh?:rotfl: My technique for the pump was a half hour chat with it, about how it would really help me out if it would just comply, and i was perfectly happy for it to have a break for a couple of days every week....:rotfl: obviously that had no i pact, but it has been working since.
I can't find that chicken nipple anywhere for sale in the UK, so I've emailed the manufacturers again.
OK found them, pm on it's way.Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0 -

Now, i need a practical solution for this winter.
Hay mangers. I have seen lots of pictures of home made hay bars, which are fine, but i need them to go round the whole length of the walls. I think i can see how to do it, whether i can do it is something else.
now you will laugh at this one BUT............. i rigged up hay racks along a wall once using the sides of a wooden cot ! the bottoms were fixed by "U" shaped bolts [so moveable,] i then fixed strong ropes to top side ,back to the wall through another loop bolt with a big knot. so if they are "out" for hay you slacken rope. and then pull side ropes in and fix to close. if you get what i mean...:o they lasted years !!0 -

so sorry to hear that, but focus on the good life you gave her and the fact that you are in a position to help her be pain free now. she knows you love her and she will always be with you, take care and we are thinking of you. [blub] xx 0 -
Admin this morning, though the heavy rain has lifted....for now.
Doing car insurance. I read : "Do you need larger type? (size 16 font) If you are having difficulty reading our quotation, you can request a version in larger type by calling 0845....."
I'm thinking, 'Surely, if they need bigger type than this, you won't want to insure them!' :eek:
Then I remember, I'm with the company that covers the old fogeys!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:0 -
I've an old coffee maker I was using this morning and moved the plug to find it had a rattle. Took the plug apart and found the screw loose from the live terminal! Not even screwed in loose, rattling around the inside of the plug loose!
How on earth that happened I don't know. Talk about dangerous.Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0 -
So if you are anything like my mate, that means you pay about 2p a year for fully everything insurance!Then I remember, I'm with the company that covers the old fogeys!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I've heard that the small vibrations of alternating current can cause screws to loosen in much the same way as the studs on my brushcutter. How true that is, I wouldn't know.
Yes, we don't pay much for insurance, I must admit. Even the big van is just the wrong side of £200, fully comp & with legal expenses cover too. 0 -

I drive my dad's car, on his insurance (this istantamount to him saying 'i love you' and took till the wrong side of thirty) in the near furture it might make sense and be 'legally appropriate'' to look at how multicar and driver insurance might work out better for us. We spend loads on insurance.:(0 -
I'd not heard of that before, although I might have done, but probably forgotten it :rotfl: that's happened alotI've heard that the small vibrations of alternating current can cause screws to loosen in much the same way as the studs on my brushcutter. How true that is, I wouldn't know.
It appears it is the case, I shall be taking apart every other plug and checking them.Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0
