When I first discovered the delights of riverside and canal towpaths, I was young and foolish and went bowling along one, only to end up asre over tit when my front wheel went down an 'ole. I was a bit more circumspect after that. Anyway, several years passed and when I put my first proper...

Wissy; you'll be lucky if you can eke any more life out of it - lithium cells just die of old age after about four years or so and earlier if they've been badly charged or stored. However, you could look into re-celling it with suitable cells, once you open it up to see exactly what's in there...

Which, and I'm sure you'll agree, doesn't necessarily mean that she was/is a female.

You've been lucky, then. The NiCad and NiMH batteries are just enough to last for a few months then start going downhill rapidly. The basic drill/driver is good enough but nothing special and I wouldn't expect it to be long-lived; but for that price, why should it. To Wissy - are you drilling a...

Avoid Aldidl cordless battery tools - the batteries are rubbish. If you want somethint worthwhile, pick up a used *but still good* Makita drill/driver and splash out on a battery for that or buy one and have the peace mind that the tool will last a good couple of years, it will be strong enough...

I was sitting on the train this morning opposite a really sexy Thai girl. I thought to myself, "Please don't get an erection, please don't get an erection." It was no good. She did.

Urrr you a burd, then, hen? Here wis me thinkin' ye wiz just a strange bloke. That explains it, hen.

He won't be sitting at home on his backside. Like so many other retired cops, he'll have a nice little sideline going that he can turn into full-time work.

I wonder if Alex was referring to the disgraceful Cheese Rolling Incident? Grandmother won't make Double Gloucester for cheese-rolling event after 'heavy-handed threats' from police - Telegraph

The way I read it is, I think that will be £50 to register or per annum and priced per hire/day/whatever afterwards. It would still be very cost-competitive for commuting or short journeys in and around the city. Tourists (nearly wrote trouserists) would have some facility made available to them...

That reminds me of a joke about a bloke with a giant screw where his bellybutton should have been...

I've found these bullet connectors to be particularly horrible and fitting only where they belong - on a 1950s Morose Minor. Much better to replace with something more modern and reliable.

To sum it up - some coppers are twi/ats, but most aren't and I'm glad we have them.

And bounciness. Bounciness is a problem that must be addressed - the cheaper supermarket Cheddars, having a large component of yellow rubber in their mix, have an unfair advantage compared to the traditional cheeses. There must be a Committee set up to look into the advisability of a Steering...

You can get away without a BMS, for a while, then your shed burns down during the night. :eek: Seriously, it's really dependent on what battery chemistry you use. Myself, I deliberately chose Bosch Fatpacks (36V power tool batteries) because they're lithium manganese and inherently very safe and...

Yes, my smartphone navigation app doesn't use any of my data allowance when I move around with it. Just to make doubly sure, I disable data connectivity on the phone anyway, as I'm a bit leary of straying over my measly 1GB/month, for that way lies ruination when the telecoms companies get into...
