Did that used to be the Fat Cat? If so the Pale Rider was wonderful. You can also go to the industrial museum just behind it and get an idea of what Sheffield used to be like. If you go into the Engineering Materials Department of the University there is the Turner Museum of glass work. Apart...

I thought this was an excellent response. I am involved in some areas of synthetic biology and it is notable that the funding bodies are now actively engaging ethicists and philosophers to consider these issues long before we see any "real" synthetic organisms. I also thought the example of...

I've not been on here in a while, but good to see all the usual suspects are still here. A very Merry Christmas to you all. Andy

I found half the channels dissappeared after the retune. It was solved by doing a factory reset and then retuning again. Andy

She's usually found behind closed doors :) Andy

Don't forget the Harrier, that was also an amazing engineering feat that still hasn't quite been repeated. I accpet that it probably only galvanised the imagination of schoolboys but was just as technically challenging. However, you could also add the fibre optic cable, Turing's computers and...

That all looks very nice, be interesting to see how you cope without a kitchen while the blockwork and steels go up. The new kitchen area will be a massive improvement though. I can tell you're not on the south coast by the price :o We built an extension in 2007 and just after the roof and...

Excellent work woody, very impressed. Let us know what grade you get in the summer :P From what I've seen of the work from the Chichester college furniture making course you'll learn all sorts of skills I don't have. I hope you enjoy it and continue to develop your own style. Andy

I remember the summer of 76 as we literally lived on the beach. What a time for an 11 year old boy :lol: The summer of 77 was worse, millions of ladybirds and yello gooh everywhere. Andy (sitting at home with a cough and cold feeling sorry for himself)

Sounds like it to me too. The finger prick tests can be a bit inaccurate though with the other symptoms it looks typical - how long has this gone on for? Have you noticed a progressive development of the symptoms? Does your wee smell like sugar puffs? Personally, I would think that 9.4 mmol/l is...

My only disappointment was that Sunderland couldn't be relegated as well :D However, I was very pleased to see Hull stay up, they also have excellent fans. Andy

Eddie, it looks like you are on the road to wrack and ruin. I started out like that and now look at the problems I have created for myself :) Don't think I'll be able to sort out our stable so quickly. Very nice piece of work and I'm not surprised you now have a queue of girls waiting for...

That's simply amazing, but should come with a disclaimer that no pedestrian were hurt in the making of this film. Brilliant. Andy

Martin, I have a '56 TDCi 130 that I run on Shell regular. I mostly do motorway miles at reasonable speeds. The trip computer is currently showing 61.4 mpg and just hovers around that all the time. I have used the super stuff in the Land Rover from time to time when I couldn't get the...

Pretty much agree with all of that. If you accept the climate change fantasists consensus opinion, the only logical conclusion is to remove or reduce the human population. The models are pure bunkum IMO and do reflect anywhere like the complexity or interactions that exist in the real...

That made me smile too :D Andy

For £9k you get a properly made harp. I got the one below from Pilgrim Harps and it is of exceptional quality and craftsmanship. In general, the best materials for harps are maple, ash and mahogany all with spruce soundboards. Andy

I do love a workshop build :D I also had the same mitre saw, but the switch went dodgy on mine and wouldn't turn off. Looking forward to seeing more progress, Andy

Most of my work nowadays is concerned with physical activity and obesity and it's obviously an area of increasing interest. The evidence seems to indicate that you can be fat, but also fit. Indeed, weight-bearing exercise is possibly one of the most useful forms so being larger could be seen as...

Today's paper seemed designed to irritate with stories about children being forcably adopted, bishops being arrested, dodgy MPs, bankers and public servants and new laws regarding our personal information as well as the two stories above. Probably a good day to bury bad news then :lol: And...
