I am involved in a Number of MIS.
This is a Shed I am a member of as a Tech Support. MIS allow many to join, some good some bad.
I will post the bad as well as the good. But recently, the bad are over taking.
My main MIS is going through a lot of changes, a few bad eggs have come back. Meaning some of the Good Members to leave.

You'll have to start a vetting process to weadle out the rectums. Or start a video diary so we can all have a
good chuckle keep up the good work
We are allowed to people away from joining MIS.
We have rules and we expect them to be followed. but some think they are above the rules.
However, we can manage our memberships. There are ways.
Having a much needed tidying session in the mancave and came across an abandoned project involving a condemned set of grade 8 lifting chains that were rescued from a scrap skip. Also came across some unused Clevis hooks that came from God knows where 
.
No point them living under the bench forever, so a few minutes work with a slitting disc and a pair of pliers has produced some perfectly good lashing chains for the wagon:
Also reacquired my beloved cast iron name plate that will fit nicely in the window bottom of the Scania:
Wouldn't want anyone to think I was one of those rough Cumbrian boys

Didactylos was (or possibly still is, according to Thief of Time) one of the most notorious philosophers in Ephebe. Unlike most Ephebian philosophers, he did not spend his days lying around in the bath. Indeed, washing in general seemed to completely elude him. He did employ certain other philosophical trappings, such as living in a barrel and carrying a lamp with no oil (as he was blind) - a nicely metaphorical touch. He was the uncle of Urn.
His most famous piece of philosophy was the heretical tract De Chelonian Mobile, or "The Turtle Moves", which formed the basis of an underground movement in Omnia. However, Didactylos himself argued that it wasn't philosophy, as it was entirely factual. His other works include his theory on Life: "Things just happen, what the hell."

I still have "dodger" to read.
bought it on the day of release (1st/1st HB) and never opened it, let alone read it.
It makes me happy to know that there is still another Pratchett left to read.
I've only managed to read "Shepherd's Crown" once - as it has the saddest two words I have ever read in a book:
"The End"
(why's my face wet? it's not raining.)

Not read it. Hasn't appealed to me.
Didn't get into strata.
Loved the Johny Maxwell trilogy. And the carpet people.
Haven't read his short stories.
Truckers diggers and wings were top notch.
Diskworld has always been top of the pile.
Try Nation.

Mk.2 is brass because it looks cool, it has nothing to do with running out of steel. 
The knurl is much better this time, the tapped hole is blind so you can't see how wonky it is and I didn't cock up the counter bore.
The M3 screw needed its head reducing to fit, my chuck doesn't close that small and I don't have a back plate for my smaller chuck, so...

Like that one. It's on the bookshelf too.
Also liked the long earth books though seems like there's more Baxter than Pratchett in those
