    Joke Thread 4

    One of my favourite singer/songwriters Jason Isbell wrote a song called "if we were vampires" about growing old together "Knowing that this can't go on forever, Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone. Maybe we'll get 40 years together, Then one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be...

    Speaker boxes/cabinets

    Hmmm bit of a sweeping generalisation there. Not sure PMC, Rega etc would agree

    There is an overdue payment under your name. Please, settle your debts ASAP, aye right.......

    Without starting a new sharpening thread 😩, I'm a Mac user and have been for about 30+ years, (so please don't launch into a diatribe about the evils of fruit named companies). One of the nice features of Safari their browser that I tend to use, and yes it's not perfect, is, it tells you...

    A little truth for a change.

    To be fair, it would explain why all the doors I make don't fit

    How I charged an old removable mobile phone battery

    Yeah my battery charger won't sense a totally dead battery. Another way to get it to kick into life is to get a 9V PP3 (MN1604) and wire it across the terminals with the charger clips in place and it springs into life, obviously remove the PP3 😀

    Parkside speed clamps

    I've bought quite a few in the past and all of them fail eventually. Better off buying "pro" clamps IMHO

    Looking for old, wide board of true mahogany

    Do you have Brazilian Rosewood for the fingerboard? I presume you're making a Junior or a Special? Be nice to see the finished item and some construction videos. Good luck

    Old Shipwreck found on beach Orkney

    It uses your IP address I believe to establish geography. To get around it use a VPN (Virtual Private Network), you can then pretend to be anywhere in the world.

    Mold

    We had black mould keep occurring in our bathroom around the shower. My fault really as I'd put a PIR extractor in and turned it off as the noise drove me crazy. Replaced it with a "silent" (hmmm) humidistat extractor that ramps up speed according to moisture levels, which has been brilliant.

    Can't find the water valve in the street. Any ideas?

    I had similar to you last year, still can't find the outside stopcock but I did find a solution that I hope may help. Clean off all the paint and crud using a paint stripper or heat. On the top of the internal stopcock you should find a smaller nut (the gland nut) on the shaft below the handle...

    Kity K5 combi machine

    Possibly the smoothing/supressor cap has gone short circuit? Disconnect one leg, and see if it runs with the earth on. You should really get someone savvy with electrics to have a look. Be careful.

    Royal Mail - complete ban on bladed items from 22nd April

    I had an interesting one with the Post Office the other week. It was a "special" birthday for my sister so I took her present to the local PO to get guaranteed delivery. She lives at 31 'Whatever Rd', and I've sent things there before. The lady behind the counter said that the gift would be...

    Went for an NHS colonoscopy yesterday..

    I had an amusing time on mine last year.... Having gone through the 'fun' prep of Picolax and white food, I then go to hospital for the procedure. Having negotiated half of my colon there's a sudden hiatus and hectic scrambling with hushed voices going on in the operating room behind me. My wife...
