My brother is great. He had no mechanical aptitude until he bought a knackered Spitfire, learnt everything. This week he picked up new timing gear and fast road cams and sent me pictures of the neat stuff the shop had in front, i.e. Prototype hatchback Triumph Herald. In the background, real AC Cobra.

Abolish abstinence and let priests be normal family men and women, maybe in 70 years it'll have improved.

The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth

Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.

Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.

When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.

If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.

Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.

Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.

Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.

Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.

Do not harm little children.

Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.

When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

Don't stick your nose in where it doesn't belong, seems pretty good.

Flip side of the above? No problem

When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
I have no problem with this one

If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy. Don't take poo poo from idiots, okay, seems a little extremely worded but again, flip side of the above

Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal. loving bingo right there.

Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
shalt not steal, gotcha.

Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.Kastein covered this one.

Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
I like this one. If you chose to do it to yourself it's on you.

Do not harm little children. No poo poo

Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food. I'm not a big hunting for sport fan anyway. What's a human animal?

When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him. Strong wording but turning the other cheek just lets jerks be jerks. What's that they say about all evil needing to flourish?

I have no problem with these really, welp, looks like I'm a Satanist.

I feel like I've just hit a wall with anything and everything that brought me enjoyment. I haven't turned my ps4 on in like 4 weeks, completely disinterested in flying (thou last few months bills from the club I'm in probably has something to do with that - which is why I am serious entertaining buying a plane), no car projects look interesting...

There's some home improvement projects I need (and want) to do but I just can't make myself start them.

It's weird. For the first time in a long time I have both the means and time to do just about whatever I want and not really interested in doing anything. Just a rut?

Tbh what you said is pretty dumb too. Plain rice tastes delicious and no one eats ice by itself just like no one eats plain lettuce by itself. I'm just saying iceberg lettuce has no nutritional value.

Saying it's junk food because of what you put on it is dumb. No it's not a fad "super food" but it contains vit A, K and fibre. You might eat plain rice and think it's delicious but others don't, just like some people think lettuce by itself is nice.

Question for the UK people: how is the graham norton show seen by you guys? Funny or poo poo?

Enough people think he's hilarious to sustain his lucrative career. Personally I dislike his gimmick but I watch almost no tv of that type.

I dropped about £600 this weekend on car parts, tyres and service bits. That's a lot for me but £140 was a complete set of tyres for the panda and most was brakes for the multipla. Ended up with two new calipers on the back because the piston was seized on one side, handbrake seized on the other but that brings the total service and wear cost over three years to £375 not including tyres. I don't think we're ever getting rid of this car unless the engine blows. Even then I think I'll put the effort in to swap in a replacement because it's a perfect family car.

So I was working on this hideous vehicle on the drive, jacked up, covered in brake dust and grease wearing garage clothes with tools strewn everywhere and a couple pull up in a body-kitted range rover to look at the house next to us. They see me and just reverse straight outta there without stopping, hilarious.

So I thought getting into archery would be a fun little hobby, then I borrowed a bow I might buy and the club staff all nerded out hard setting it up for me, there are spreadsheets and everything. I spent three hours and shot like 60 arrows max.

Apparently I have good form and I've not yet come away having pulled a muscle. I understand getting the kit set up right is important but I'm looking forward to just working on my grouping rather than tweaking the bow.

Also I need to lift a weight, as this bow is forged and the one the club leant me was plastic :v:

Tangentially related, the Cappo got pulled up on its MOT for rust today. Nothing too horrible, just a small water trap created by the outboard rear mounting points for the seat.

In order to properly look at what I'm dealing with, I've had to pull up the carpet, and I'm pleased to see that there's a good Waxoyl residue in most places. If I can fix the small patches I have to do now and top up these and any other bits that have been missed previously, it should last a good while.

I've been rebuilding my dashboard today.

Behind the now-empty clock hole is my new brake fluid reservoir, which I can fill with a funnel (it used to have a remote reservoir on an expensive master cylinder. Now it has a normal cheap landrover larger bore combined unit!)

I want to make an easily removable cover for the hole. any good ideas on how to do it?

I was wondering if i could make it from steel and then use some magnets to keep it on there (the rest of the dash is ally, so i'd have to attach them behind it and make them strong)

Once I've worked out how to cover it, I want to mount a couple of gauges to the cover (just on a long wire). I've got a small LED strip fuel gauge and a flat digital Air/fuel gauge - so its got to be solid!

Is this the 101? I have to come see this at some point. I'd try to make a bayonet/screw fitting plug but I don't know how hard it'd be to mount something behind the hole that's bigger than the hole.

Yeah, maybe magnets.
