Hopefully it can fly away in a few weeks with the wild ones. I hope it will take to eating insects as it is mostly eating mince at the moment. Maybe you should train it to try linguine. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat_the_cat Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I've just found out that my best mate has got a pair of tickets to see the Pixies (we're both fans) which he'd bought ages ago and forgotten about! It works out really well for timing too, as although he's 200 miles away, it's the day before (and on the way to) another friend's 40th party near Brighton. A road trip, friends, a gig and a party - sounds like a most excellent weekend coming up barefoot, clayts450, catsinthewelder and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to their meeting his other half had bought a ex-local authority house on the edge of what used to be Europe's largest housing estate. Negative equity meant that they were in no position to move at that point in time so little Jonny - with his floppy hair do, shorts, blazer, knee high socks and school cap - looked quite a sight on the way to and from school compared with the other kids in the area.

barefoot Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I posted this on another forum as a reply to folk talking about Barry Sheene, seemed to go down well, so here it is again; Barry & I go back years.There was the time I was driving home along the old A6 dual carriageway in my Cavalier 2, a pair of headlights loomed up in my mirror and obviously being a bit of a young twunt, I booted it & kept this motor car behind me until the roundabout, whereupon I dropped it down a cog & booted it once more. Sadly for me, the Toyota Supra behind, dropped it two cogs and with twice the cubic capacity left me completely for dead. I was a little embarass when the number plate read BS 7.And in a further heartwarming tale of days gone by, when Barry used to race or do whatever he did at Donington Park, he always used to stay at the Donington Manor Hotel, he was often to be found behind the bar serving a few pints & chatting with the locals.Although I suspect he recognised me as the nob in the Vauxhall.

LightBulbFun Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 you know when you have a wacky idea and you think it through and in theory it should work? so you test it in real life and it works but your still amazed that it does and left grinning like a mad man? I just had one of those basically I recently got a new toy I mean tool in the form of a current clamp meter, this lets me measure the current flowing through a wire without having to splice into the circuit, all I have to do is clamp it round the wire in question as shown here measuring the current that a 18W SL lamp draws, 0.152A in this case (aka 152 milliamps) now clamp meters work because, anything conducting an electric current produces a magnetic field around itself, if you can detect and measure that field then you can tell how much current is flowing through something which is what a clamp meter does this got me wondering, the electric discharge/arc in a fluorescent tube IS a conductor and DOES produce a magnetic field as a result of that, so I wondered if I clamp the clamp directly around the glass tube of a flourcent tube could I messure the current flowing inside? and the question is yes, yes I can LOL its not doing too badly either its only about 10Ma down from what the tube actually draws, not bad at all when you consider it was meant for measuring the magnetic fields coming from copper cables not the magnetic field from electric discharges in glass fluorescent tubes LOL Sir Snipes, loserone, mat_the_cat and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another pedant here If we take the definition of ice-cold to mean a temperature at or below 0 degrees C, it is perfectly possible for beer to exist as a liquid, due to the alcohol content lowering the freezing point of the solution (yes, alcohol really *is* a solution!) by roughly 0.4 degC per % ABV. angle, paulplom, Tickman and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
