Today I acquired...........

[redlig]

Not any longer, he’s laid flat now in a wooden box!

Not so much tall as long.

 

[Kram]

Heavy box from zoro. Big hole in the side with the bastard trying to escape. I may have accidently ordered a a few more, some of the above items..

I’ve met Miranda Krestovnikoff, she gave a talk about her life doing documentaries & I had a chat to her for a while. Lovely lady. I also see Ellie Harrison off Countryfile fairly often in the supermarket

I have met KitKat Kate, you wouldn't want to know what she has been doing with her life

Is that brass or bronze hex?

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

YAY.
Yay to me, I spent £2.

Wow you say.

But I got stuff.

LED Torch, with magnetic stand.

Very heavy (4lb) copper soldering iron.

And a thing.

 

[Onoff]

I ran into Sophia Loren at a party once. The thing about these celebrity "lookers" is that in order to look good on camera, they really have to be spectacular in real life.

She was spectacularly beautiful. I was so shocked I accidentally bumped into Sylvester Stallone, one of the few celebs even I can literally look down on...

Dita Von Teese at Erotica one year doing her thing in a giant brandy glass. Me and a mate somehow found ourselves nose to glass. Now on the telly I never thought much of her but she's like Jessica Rabbit brought to life. No prizes for guessing what I acquired...

A dose?

Met Kate humble,queuing for tea and cakes,she slipped in behind me!
Of all the events,it was a Herefordshire mills weekend,promoting green energy,I said “hallo Kate humble,she grinned ,sexily,replying hallo.
There was some other energy then.

 

[Screwdriver]

Me and money...

Anyway, I have a van (briefly) and I was passing my favourite scrappy so.

Fifty quid.

Sounds like a lot for some 40mm sq and a sheet of 10mm plate. The rest was "free".

I was hoping for a discount on finding the dirtiest odd sizes but I suspect he just measures it and the price is what the price says.

I guess I might have saved a bit on postage

If you wanted old crap like that I could have showed you the scrap bin

In my defence, I DID ASK!!!

Is that brass or bronze hex?

18mm cz121 (3% leaded)
www.zoro.co.uk/shop/materials-and-maintenance/engineering-materials/18mm-x-500mm-brass-hexagon-bar-cw614n-cz121-5-pce/p/ZT1190629X

7.5m of brass bar for under 45 quid, good price I think. Should last me a very long time.

I repaired something for a creel boat skipper and thus acquired a bucket...

The bucket contained

3 lobsters and an octopus!

Which was nice. For the sensitive on the forum, note my hands are clean

 

[MattF]

Decided to treat the pillar drill, instead of whacking an old one on there. 1HP, (was the smallest rating they do with a ¾" shaft).

They are good motors.

They are good motors.

Good to hear. Decided to get one from MM rather than risking an unknown make.

To go with the £8 er40 chucks I got the other day from Amazon the collets arrived yesterday. I also got a couple of sets of the drill sets again while they are on offer at £5 and a set of 6-32mm open ended spanner’s for £6 ish

Gotta love a good zoro deal

 

[Mick Annick]

My neighbour just came over and offered his mower for free. Not a push jobby, but a serious Husquvana thing with the deck out front and a 15hp Kohler donk. Farts and bangs,then dies, when you try to get going and he thinks big probs, so has ordered a new one.
Personally, I reckon the carb is gummed up and told him so, but NO, he fancies a new one, so what am I to do? Collection is growing..I expect Mick Annick to be beating my door down But what does he know..?

Are you stalking me? I spent yesterday evening googling ride-on mowers!
