    What can go on top of creosote to mask the smell?

    Have you consulted Section 8 of the Anti Social Behaviour Act 2003? It covers high-hedges. Or, if you live in Scotland, you have the High Hedges Act (Scotland) Act 2013 which offers similar relief.

    URGENT - please read this - scam alert

    Having little money and refusing to use internet or phone banking is my great defence against scams. If my card is stolen and by some stroke of luck (theirs) they got the pin correct, attempting to spend more than tenner will likely result in refusal. lol. Granted this is a rubbish way for...

    URGENT - please read this - scam alert

    Please don't get job supporting or even helping people unless they're are as hard, wonderfully intelligent, cynical and obviously sorted as yourself. It might do for you to read the Mental Capacity Act 2005.

    Here's my one

    You sound like someone who has used an outfit! Yes, you do NOT lift the sidecar-wheel under any circumstances BUT if you do, you need to pull the cutch in before the wheel makes contact with the road. On the upside, no drag on acceleration or braking either, and much less handle bar wobble so it...

    Here's my one

    IN my 60's, two buggered hips due to a mild hip deformity giving me 90 yr old hips but still getting my leg over (the bike you grubby lot,). A Kawasaki ER-5 is all I can afford currently but a great bike for 500 quid and travels long distance really well. It hurts to mount it and hurts like hell...

    Joke Thread III

    They obviously didn't have the optional extra ABS corgi fitted. (see earlier posts)

    Joke Thread III

    As I understand it, it actually takes longer to stop with ABS than non-ABS if you aren't just slamming the pedal down. The advantage, again as I understand it, is that you can still steer and brake hard, which is of course a damn fine idea. Great pic to explain though although as the non-ABS dog...

    Have you noticed....

    That's why they're a SUSPECT until conviction or otherwise. The State accuses and then tries to prove the case, not the victim. The victim of the alleged crime is merely a witness to a crime against the state.

    Have you noticed....

    They often play 'Social workers' mental health practitioners, drug-support worker and so-on because those services have been cut to the bone in recent years (not just under this current lot). Just becasue the services have been removed, it doesn't mean the need for them has disappeared but...

    Brass curtain track

    Far too much I would guess. One of the reasons I like it is because it outlasts plastic and aluminium. I also like the noise it makes when drawing the curtains and it just works so well. Furthermore, I am making very thick thermal curtains and know the brass will take them better than plastic...

    Brass curtain track

    Thanks for the above. I didn't know that it was also referred to as "505 track" so that may well be useful when searching online. Hunter ad Hyland were the ones that wanted 200 quid plus. A little out of my league but in fairness to them, I guess for average income bods, it isn't too bad really...

    Brass curtain track

    Hi all. I am an old fashioned chap and like old things. This has led me to wanting to find some brass curtain track for the curtains I'm making currently. I have thus far only found one snazzy company in the Dis-United Kingdom that can provide me with such a thing, and they know it is hard to...

    Rage evolution mitre saw cut quality advice

    Love my Evolution Rage but yes, I do joinery with it, not cabinet making. I'm more of a metal than a wood worker, hence my choice of saw as I need to cut 50x50 rsa etc. as well as building-joinery. If I want accuracy of an angled cut, I still use my sliding bevel rather than the markings on the...

    Sash windows build advice on compliance..

    "half corrugated lung disease:". My understanding is that the corrugated stuff, which is encased in cement, is not the issue that the stuff used for lagging, and so on is. They still charge a fortune for removing it though!

    Joke Thread II

    Unfortunately that is true enough to be depressing lol.

    An attempt was made . . .

    Looks great and your wife/partner can always chase you around the house with it if they can't find the rolling-pin! Turn a contrasting wood disc with a recess and fit the other part into it and you'd have the basis of a nice bedside/side light, which with the correct shade could look lovely. IMO

    Sourcing a plastic/nylon cog

    It gets pretty warm as it is curing but it is likely I used plasticine as my kids were living at home at the time so silicone might be better I think as long as you cover the cog you use as a former with a release agent. Thick washing-up liquid seems to work for that purpose. The modeling...

    Sourcing a plastic/nylon cog

    I was in a similar situation to yourself but managed to make a new plastic cog by using the good one to make mould and mixed up a 2-pack poured it in and flippin hec, it worked! This was to repair one of those working educational cut-away models of a simple internal combustion engine for one of...

    Electric vehicles - again

    I am presuming from your response that you have yet to see the video. The whole point of the German development is designed for long haul NOT short haul, where rechargeable small trucks make loads of sense. BTW, there is very little capacity for freight travelling by rail in some areas of the...

    Electric vehicles - again

    A modern twist on electric trolley-buses applied to large HGV's that looks interesting. Video here
