    Hi you could experiment with Epsom salts . Put it in plastic pouches and melt it in the microwave. The melting point is low and The latent heat of crystallisation is high should work for a while. These pouches on the outside of your fingers in a wider gauntlet should do the trick.

    Brexit,actually the UK has come out rather well.

    There are no consequences or irrevocable decisions unless and until the letter requesting article 50 is sent. Once sent then your " sleeve rolling" begins.

    Brexit,actually the UK has come out rather well.

    Woosh, as I have stated on a number of occasions and provided the actual text of article 50, once the process has commenced any opposition in the UK parliament is irrelevant. It was very disheartening to read that none of the MPs seemed to have realised that. Had they not read it or had they...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree, I cannot talk about Greece or the others but the Irish situation would certainly not have been helped by devaluation. Ireland had a booming economy, based originally in proper economic growth, then found access to cheap German money, cheap because the Germans were putting it into...

    Brexit,actually the UK has come out rather well.

    If I had been at a rugby match which ended 17 16 points the only conclusion I would have drawn is that it was a very close result. I would have accepted that one side had ground out a victory. The supposition that there was therefore a mandate for change was and still is false. The success...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can agree with much of this post .. Particularly the Role of the car in global economics . But can find a number of anomalies in the detail Hydrogen as a fuel was irrelevant when there were cheaper alternatives and the engineering had not been as developed as now. With abundant electric...

    That death rate statistic for Beijing is interesting... That city has a population equivalent to the population of Ireland give or take and has an equivalent death rate but we do our killing in cars.

    I think the problem is more effectively than inefficiency, the coupling between the coils at large separations is poor A better system might be to use the scaletric cars principle a where conductive brushes connected with a slot and drew power and perfect tracking ... There could be an...

    Viking 24 Ego.

    Look it was working so the problem is fixable. I suspect that in your attempts to open the lock it is now making intermittent contact. I don't know your model but typically the battery lock both mechanically locks the battery in place to prevent theft and is also an electric switch to control...

    Inner tubes

    Are you not expected to remove the valve assembly before inserting the gloop. According to the blurb on the side of the slime bottle that is the way to use it. Anyway I chickened out and bought the preslimed tubes.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Ellis island was primarily a public health facility. In the days before antibiotics, scarlet fever, whooping cough, diphtheria, were all contagious and likely to cause epidemics. The USA was not seeking to limit ingress, they were interested in growing their population. The visitor centre on...

    ...Then he did not design it carefully enough ....read the text. Very simply ..... once the letter of intent reaches the council of ministers, the die is cast and the UK loses control. They may negotiate terms which if acceptable to the EU negotiating team are then tabled for the EU parliament...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This post is a well considered arguement, respectful of the population of that county, both native and immigrant, spoilt only by an irreverent and ill-considered last sentence, and the inclusion of the word Fool in the first. In this post you refer to lack of planning for infrastructure...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed UK could make application under article 49 and this would require another EU treaty and a referendum in a few different countries, Ireland being one. I know that I would be voting in favour of UK membership, but referenda can produce unexpected results. Also there would be no guarantees...
