Or "Murphy's Law," as we might say on the western side of the pond.

Kin hell. Not your buckets I hope?!

has he put a new Hardox bit on the front?

Yes its hardox but he tried to weld it together with a 200 amp single phase mig on a genny that was stalling, made a mess of that so brought them over to blast over the top with my Esab. Most folk would have stopped after a few seconds but he kept going so he had to go over the whole lot again

We use what we have i suppose but even so I think I’d have given up! Or at least used the 200a machine to tack it then used yours to do it properly.

Got there in the end I guess

I forget an earlier repair job from this week.

Hinges disintegrated in the heat and odd shape toilet means I’ve had to order a new one so until it arrives it’s fixed.

They do say you can fix anything with duct tape.....

They do say you can fix anything with duct tape.....

But not stupid.

 

[m_c]

But not stupid.

I'm not so sure.
It can certainly be used to restrain stupid...

 

[redlig]

I do enjoy her company.

Hmmmm now we are getting to the crux of it . And I was thinking you were all heart.

 

[slim_boy_fat]

But not stupid.

Correct, but you can quieten it down a lot.

 

[redlig]

Correct, but you can quieten it down a lot.

If duct tape doesn't cure it your not using enough duct tape.

The pulsing & beating probably isn't his heart.

Don’t get the duct tape and loo roll mixed up

 

[Melvyn Best]

Don’t get the duct tape and loo roll mixed up

Where’s the clingfilm?

 

[redlig]

Don’t get the duct tape and loo roll mixed up

I did exactly that once but the lamp still fell off.

fixed a cracked hard pipe on the hydraulics on this today for a neighbour, he was desperate to get it loading bales tonight

 

[Moose McAlpine]

Then made myself ill by letting a mate loose in the workshop so he could make a total balls up of repairing a couple of digger buckets. Complete waste of gas and mig wire

Well you know what they say; if a job's worth doing, it's worth doing ri̶g̶h̶t̶ twice.

Dragged my High-Tech Toolpost Grinder from it's secure storage (hook on the wall) and began grinding one hundredth millionth from this bush. All cobblers of course, it's a lash up that has been a get-out-of-jail-free card I have played a number of times. Worked again, must get a proper one sometime, maybe:

Fixed SWMBO`s horsebox headlamp in exchange for not being turned to stone and being allowed to sleep with both eyes shut for at least one night.

Goons with tractors smashed it pulling stuck horseboxes out of a showground, £250 worth of headlamp later
