If you're good at spreadsheets, you can use one to convert everything and even write a ratio formula so if you increase the length/width etc everything else increases accordingly.

Another one of these concept type bikes designed by a designer without an engineers input. Was really excited when I heard Lotus were making bikes but this is a massive disappointment.

Got one I can nearly put my head through in the local 2nd hand tool place. Was going to buy it to put on the wall but it was £150

Around my way when they steal fuel they don't syphon. They just cut the fuel line underneath and put a can under. Makes it super annoying when you go to start the car and see there is no fuel then walk 3 miles to the garage and pour it in to see it come out underneath. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Their offers seem to go round in some kind of order. If my memory serves me correctly then hopefully it should be the router bit set next which I missed last time.

The other one is that they just remove their braking or reverse lights then emergency stopping or even reversing into you. Often they will say don't worry it at the scene but will then say you left the scene without giving your details and the police turn up on your doorstep. There are a few...

That is what mine were like. I showered twice a day and washed my feet another 2 or 3 times a day and tried every cream/powder without success. I found that using Mycol cream and powder together keeps it down to a minimum but I can't shift it completely. Luckily they don't smell. I've always...

Driving too fast for the conditions, not being aware of what is going on around you and impeding the flow of traffic all contribute to accidents and are all things you would fail your driving test for. I currently choose not to drive as my medication makes everything feel too fast and unsafe...

On the way to Maplins today we were behind a queue of traffic. The person at the front of the queue was doing 40mph all the way though 30mph zones and 60mph zones. Upon seeing the speed camera in a 60 zone while doing 40mph they panicked and slammed on their brakes to avoid flashing the camera...

I was thinking the same thing. I'd offer to work for free to learn the trade and do something I love if I didn't have a family to try and support. I've never taken a sick day unless the boss has actually forced me and I always work my buttocks off as I can't stand not being busy or wasting time but...

You can do finger joints and dovetails on a bandsaw. Probably loads more too.

Decent woodscrews hold fine in chipboard. I knocked up a temporary vivarium when I moved house for 2 15ft reticulated pythons. It's literally just 8ft lengths top and bottom with 4ft sides, ply backing and 6mm safety glass front held with just screws. It's still temporary after two years and if...

People that drive at 20 miles an hour and hold up the traffic. I have no problem with people driving slow but if you aren't in a hurry pull over every now and then and let people pass.

It sounds dodgy but ebay is always worth a look for cars. I just restrict my search to within 50 miles for most stuff but for cars I ignore Cornwall as cars are more expensive here. I just go and look at it before bidding so it's the same as buying elsewhere without the haggling.
