I once was watching a bloke down my street attempting to weld up steps on an old transit.
Hilarious when the repair patch kept getting bigger and bigger lol

you can arc weld thin stuff. you just use 1.6mm rods & a lot of care.

i bought a 240v arc welder many years ago, and its ok for small running repair stuff. we have a 415v oxford one in the workshop, that could build a ship..

Right, down to business...

i saw something that amused me today..

i was delivering to a new builders merchants yard in leicester....

i was unloading my bricks with my hiab, and the old muslim bloke was whizzing round on the forklift moving them.

as i'd got about 3/4 of them off, suddenly it dawned on me...

they had opened the yard gates that morning, and pushed them right round fully open onto the fence... then they had offloaded 2 artic loads of ton bags of sand & put them in 2 neat stacks right in front of the gate, then my bricks... so 80 odd tons of stuff were plonked in front of the gate....i decided that it wasn't my place to say anything and as i drove off at 4:30 i was wondering just when they'd realise that they couldn't shut the gate & what would hit the fan when they did.... i reckon the old lad won't have made friday prayers tonight......

I was happy today when i went for my hospital appointment regarding three painful extractions i needed doing (two of which ive already had to have done in emergency situations at my dentist due to pain) and the dentist there informed me that ive not actually got dry socket on my second extraction, its just (in laymans terms) the stand-in who took my second tooth out may aswell have used a jcb to take it out and left it a right mess with exposed bone in my jaw, but he has cleaned it up and its closed a little more and feels ten times better and i now have bugger all pain!!

Bearing in mind ive had epic toothache/pain, ear, head and eye-ache caused by this, and havent been sleeping pretty much at all for nearly two months now, im over the fecking moon :d

you could see the jaw bone in my birds dry socket aswell, she was upstairs for ages digging at it thinking it was food in there, until she asked me to have a look and i realized what it was right away :yuck:

hahaha no :P he was having boost issues with it as its the first year he's ran it with turbos apparantly, was only running 0.8 bar at the start of the day then went up to 1.4, was incredibly quick when he got it right though!
