    Train sets .

    As a kid, if you were lucky you had either a train set or a Scalectrix. Often your elder brother's hand me down. Remember the whole HO/OO lark and Lima vs Hornby? N guage anyone? Posh kids had both.....and walkie talkies WITHOUT wires that their dads had brought them back whilst on business...

    Alecsa ...does it spy on you ?

    Start talking about something you don't usually; golf we tried. Didn't take long for the related emails to appear offering cheap clubs, lessons etc. You don't even have to start talking saying the "A" word first.

    Drink of choice

    Old thread I know! Since back then several friends & family have died/are ill and I found myself once again thinking about a spirit of choice to numb the quiet moments. Quite by chance I was given this by a Polish lad for helping him out of a tricky situation.  Need some proper tumblers I...

    Dewalt 1251 solenoid switch

    If it's in the original switch and the replacement doesn't have it then there won't be any thermal over load! 😂 Brilliant saws, had mine over 30 years. Gone through a couple of switches in that time. Only just put the cap back tbh that I borrowed for my gennie.  £44 spread over 20 years, well...

    Sometimes you think ..............

    Dewalt 1251 solenoid switch

    And now for the latest scam!

    Wonder if I could get a replacement car? The company have designated us key workers and given us all letters to show if stopped. This on the basis we work in fire/police stations, hospitals etc as subbies. 😉
