Yes, very fair points. The beeb have covered the basics and published some footage, but as the trial is progressing more footage is being released, and of course certain outlets are not going to sensitively edit the graphic bits the way the Beeb or msn would. I’m not suggesting they should...

The Elbit case currently going through the courts with its shocking body cam footage plastered all over social media takes some very awkward defending and I’m not seeing any of it. Some real insight there into the mindsets and inner workings of the group which should be helpful whichever side...

Strange it’s suddenly all gone very quiet from the Palestine Action supporters.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I think this is what has been happening. With the smart valves being able to override the thermostat and pull heat on demand I’ve been getting in a pickle as to what the main thermostat does, where best to place it and what temperature to set it to and so on. It...

Back to the smart heating system for a moment as I had the hub, receiver etc wired in at the weekend so am playing around with it a bit at the moment and your particular question has come to the fore. Needed a sparky to wire in the receiver to the boiler PCB, then went the whole hog and put...

Scary the prices of some of that stuff. As you’ll know the 4 strokes were never as popular (or as quick) as the FS1E’s and AP50’s, and mine was one of the slower early flat-bar 4 speed ones too. A quick shufti online and up pops exactly the same model in the same colour too in the motorcycle...

I had absolutely no idea. They say you learn something new everyday, that’s a good one, I like that. Screwfix in the morning it is. Cheers for that.

That’s a hell of a coincidence - I bought mine at 16 because I couldn’t get the cover off to access the points on my Honda SS50. I remember wincing at how expensive it was, no cheap Chinese option on Amazon back then. Still going strong now so maybe you do get what you pay for after all.

Funny how some people just love tools, I can’t get enough of them. Seem to turn any minor repair job into an excuse to buy some more but never had a problem with that as they tend to pay for themselves in the end.

Are we talking ratchet straps or ratchet belts? To be fair they’re both awesome. Took about 10ft off a bloody tall Yew tree last weekend and used ratchet straps to guide it down into the one safe narrow gap between a couple of delicate roofs. Precision job, well chuffed with that. But...

The ratchet belt. Fantastic things. I don’t know if I’m just late to the party but where have you been all my life?

The button fly. What a palaver. Zips were invented for a good reason.

What’s all the fuss about? A bit of inconvenience I think it’s called. It’s how change is brought about. Direct action, it’s the future. Fucking outrageous then Home Secretary Yvette Cooper would describe PA as a ‘not a non-violent organisation’ or that ‘some supporters may not know the "full...

WW 1 - 3 CP

Another one crossing a few threads but a heads up on something we might all need to be aware of… So a friend in the cycling club has just had his 4 bikes stolen from his home. The bikes themselves were locked, inside his garage which itself was also locked, which is attached to his house with a...
