Something I need to buy is more superglue. Are there any bottles/dispensers that don't clog up?

Last bottle I had to throw away half used. I'd poked and prodded it that many times with a pin I think the air got to it in the end.

I tried buying one shot tubes but if you do that make sure it's a good make. I bought some no name crap of Amazon and was utter pants. Inow just buy it from toolstation in the smaller bottles. It's cheap enough I dont care if it gets clooged up still with stuuf left in it. £2ish a bottle and it sticks everything, including my fingers together!

Ear plugs.

Went looking at bikes today but have been off the road for a while so I need to buy helmet, jacket etc again.

These are a start Smile

I bought two video games, about €4 total. Crystal Caves HD and Secret Agent HD. Both are remakes of the original Apogee Software games.

Now with plug and play gamepad support, easier game save/restore and with improved yet faithful visuals and sound effects. I used to play the originals back in the 90's on my father's DOS machine, although back then all I got was the PC speaker sound. What a blast from the past.

A littlie bbit of moisture works wonders, either steam or wetting the two edges that you are gluing firrst.

By the same token, storing it in the fridge makes it stay good forr far longer.

The superglue mainly gets used to fix little-un's broken toys. "Gran-grad, can you fix it?" Rolling Eyes

Elvanse, various dosages to see if I need to adjust it to manage life better - arm and a leg dot com Shocked but its REALLY helpful, so I don't mind paying thru the nose. Will eventually get my GP to prescribe it for me, but probably won't run out for a while yet.

And some shirts in one size smaller, which I am pleased about (they almost fit), and which have turned out to be excellent quality for a brand that is generally cheap and cheerful schmutter.

And Shifty possibly one or two pairs of boots above and beyond that which is totally necessary for a woman with only two feet. Shifty

I use Starbond CA adhesive. It comes with a spare nozzle and some fine ones for precision work. They do a decent range of products too.

Keep any superglue in the fridge between uses and unused stuff in the freezer - it'll last forever in there. Pinch one of your wife's sewing needles stuck in a wine cork to clear blocked nozzles Wink

I have 55 tablets at 30mg in my wardrobe from the experimentation to find the little bastard's right dose.

He didnt like the Elvanese so I swapped him back to the Medikiinet 20 mg within a few days.

A manual camchain tensioner for the scummy ratbike. I should really be posting this in 'what grinds my gears' tho on account of me getting an email saying it'd be delivered by 11am today but Royal Fail have cocked up and sent it to a different regional hub, meaning I wont get it til Monday now and as such the bike is off the road for the rest of the weekend.


Wankers.

Insurance for the scoot.
£450 for a 750!!! That got expensive since I last had a bike on the road.

Used to pay <£100 for the Pan (1100cc).

Thanks for reminding me what was nagging in the back of mind as to why I should've rushed the ride back from my holiday.

Need to stop my insurer from auto renewing me asap, same bike (worth less) same location, same conditions, no new claims, me another year older and more experienced, but still they want to sting me an extra 80 quid Evil or Very Mad (should be 'gears ground, but meh)

A squeaky plastic pig from Savers for the dog, from which she has managed to eat the squeak out ... in less than an hour Rolling Eyes

So now she will probably proceed to just chew it into small pink pieces for me to find around the house for the next six months Laughing
