One attack? Good god didn’t know they were capable of that. Many dog owners conveniently forget that dogs are predators with predatory instincts. Most dogs only ever get to live out these instincts chasing a ball, but given the chance and the wrong circumstances they will all of them chase and (try...

Strange sense of humour on Done Deal

Agree 100% with the above...with one minor niggle: No, we're encouraged to continue ... The "encouragement" is looking more and more like a stick than a carrot recently. Personal mobility no longer means the freedom to explore, it is just the means to get you from your house out in the sti...

we "ordinary citizens" in the Civilised West are just as much subject to exploitation and subjugation by these groups as our peers in the "Third World" That is, of course, technically correct ...with the exception maybe that up to recently we didn't feel exploited/subjugated eno...

Like drug dealers would have any interest at all in their customers becoming clean ...

Kinda like the world bank really

Here's the pitch: Rich nations owe a massive climate debt to poorer nations: for the devastating impacts of the fossil fuels we have burned. Yet they have no intention of paying for the loss and damage they have caused. Poor countries are deemed to owe massive financial debts to the rich nations, ye...

Well there is the clichee about Japanese people being somewhat smaller in stature...but what you think are doors aren't ...

So somebody decided it would be interesting to import a 20 year old Japanese hearse. Interesting it certainly is ...but what would you do with it? We have a seemingly pristine Hilux as a base ..but it's not the farming kind (petrol and 2 WD only) and the fact that its body has been cut just behind t...

disclaimer ..I'm no mechanic either, just a long term driver of all sorts of jaloppies that have produced all sorts of noises in their day :mrgreen: The fact that the noise is independent of speed helps at least to rule out one thing and that is strange harmonics. Sometimes gearboxes or differential...

He wonders if there might be a small pebble caught somewhere that makes the noise. 😞 He's probably not wrong..pesky little stones in brake pads can make scary noises ... Having said that ...the fact that it takes some time for the noise to appear is a bit puzzling. Question ...does the noise appear...

Final chapter (for now anyways) Extensive comparisons between the two guitars have led to two conclusions: - 43 mm nut width is too small for my ageing sausage fingers - while a parlor guitar sounds lovely, a "big" guitar is also needed so back to the internets for more research ...and I f...

I'd keep at the big guitar too.. might be a pain but it's good for strenghting your fingers. I'll have to wait for better weather (when herself is in the garden :mrgreen: ) The dreadnaught calls for a bit of gusto...which ain't appreciated by the audience in the next room watching d'telly :mrgreen:...
