It's still more than I'd like, but I'm around a 6 pack after work now, instead of an 18 pack or more.

I am genuinely interested in the logistics of this:

Did you go for a piss every 20mins, throughout the entire evening? Do you have a TV mounted above your cistern, so you can follow the plot?

Do you have a bladder with a gallon capacity and spend a solid 10 minutes doing your impression of a firehose at the end of the night?

Or do you simply wander around your yard for the entire evening, with your cock out, simultaneously drinking and leaving a trail of piss?

I'm trying to build up a comprehensive toolbox that I can keep in the back of my Landrover or chuck in the car for long roadtrips.

Its a landrover so the list of possible repairs that I want to be able to deal with is quite big and some stuff is fairly heavy duty!

Has anybody else done this and been organised enough to have made a list of what you put into it?

Zip ties
Electrical tape
Duct tape
Wire coathanger (rehanging the exhaust)
AA member card (both definitions
Cigarette lighter
Candles
Chocolate/Kendal Mint Cake
Condoms
... Shoot, a fella' could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.

- I see little additional value to the 3/8" drive kit if you have the 1/4" and 1/2" in there. That's a "nice to have" for me.
Likewise: 2 hammers and 3 sets of grips seems a bit excessive.

Also that list is slightly better equipped than my whole garage, I know all the landy jokes but are they really that bad?

Official 'old Landy toolkit' consists of the following:

5 spanners (non-contiguous sizing)
Pair of pliers (rusty)
Flathead screwdriver (slightly bent)
Roll of black electrical tape.

Anything other than that should be obtained by looking in the pockets of your wax jacket, or found rolling around in the back of the landy, covered in dog hair

A client gave me a tub of sweets of an unknown brand. Mostly lemon or strawberry and other generic, nice stuff.

He didn't tell me that there were some in there that were called 'dog fart' , 'seagull poo poo' and 'dead sheep'. Or that these names were incredibly descriptive.

Also, I'd probably get more money selling the Ka with the sickly engine and the Focus front cut (or parts thereof) separately. The prospective project was largely a product of getting the Ka and bits really cheap.

I hate plumbing.

This is under my kitchen sink:



I want to add an additional appliance drain for a dishwasher. Imagine my joy when I found the perfect bit of piping to add in:



All I have to do is replace that 'J' piping with the new one and I have my additional drain connector.





Except...When I connect the horizontal connector, the vertical pipe is exactly 0.5" too long and won't fit under the existing vertical. 0.5" feckin' inches.

I can't trim it down (flanged ends), so I am going to have to saw through the vertical waste pipe behind all that, hope that I get the cut straight and that I don't lose too much, then make up a whole new right angle piece to connect the existing waste with the new J piece.

At least the solvent will make the experience a trippy one.

rather than converting the existing single outlet into a double one with a T-piece and multiple valves. My conscience will only let me bodge so far...

I smoked for about 5 years, quit 6 years ago. Only times I smoked during the quit era were bummed smokes on the two shittiest days I had at my last job (which I quit a month later in 2013), this is my first multi-pack relapse.

I don't really like the idea of smoking, but I find I can focus on work for a while after a smoke, in a way that caffeine no longer does for me.

Sleep more, change your job, listen to rock music - anything other than smoking which will make you anti-social, unhealthy and die early.

Quit smoking and we can enjoy your company for longer.

And guys, I'm going to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, and assume you really are concerned with helping Rhyno avoid getting himself trapped by inadvertently saying things that would make his stalker's claims seem valid. But you should probably work on your delivery/tone, it comes across like a stereotypical cut and paste "educate yourself", rather than your primary concern being to help the actual victim of this scenario.

You said what I was thinking more tactfully than I could put.

JFC, the guy's legit afraid of being sexually assaulted, let's have a bit of support here.

Rhyno, no-one should leave in fear of being attacked and you shouldn't put up with it.
I would suggest that you keep a diary of all the events, so that if you have to explain it to someone, you have clear notes of what happened and when. It makes it easy to prove that there is pattern and not just paranoia or occasional coincidence. Witness are perfect if you can get them. Recordings can be good, but hard to obtain.

Then, when you have a significant amount, show them to someone else and get them to give you an honest opinion of how strong a case you have. Then officially escalate it to law enforcement.

It's not right and you should not be victimised.

Forgive my ignorance but as a person living in the USA I constantly get reminded that Minis and Range Rovers are unreliable garbage considering the alternatives we have available. But everyone in Britain (maybe even Europe?) drives Minis and Range Rovers and don't seem to have any reputation for being garbage.
Is there some geographic difference between the vehicles or is it a social thing?

We're so throughly broken that our standards are 'if it's not actively falling into a pile of rust in front of us, it;s better than we are used to'




But seriously, they are both the pinnacle of style before substance and are for people who want them for their image.

I needed the floor space in my garage yesterday so I tried to lift my pillar drill onto the bench.
Then I tried jacking it up to the point I could grip it better.
Then I tried taking it apart to make it lighter but couldn't get a wrench or socket to fit any bolt.
Then I ended up rocking/wedging/levering/walking it onto the bench, then I had to stand on the bench to stand it up.

Then I googled the spec to figure out the bolt sizes and found it apparently weighs like 100kg, I'm only 68. Huh.
