Jesus, I just looked it up on Temu. WTF would you want to wear one of them for unless your missus makes you wear it because she doesn't trust you. Shocked

Have you seen the videos where people go to a fire station to get help removing the metal work?

Never tried it, thought i would. Not life changing but definitely worth it.

Yup. It'll be another life experience!

I don't have a missus, but if I did & she didn't trust me i'd expect her to dump me, not stick a cage on it.

Ah, 10L that explains it ... I painted my house many years ago, but I just bought some generic 25L drums of it ... it's lasted not bad but some bits are flaking off now.

Will have a look at this, but I don't know if I'd be up to repainting the house due to my crappy heart!

All the best ... Barry

1) Some left hand threaded M10x1.25 nuts for my brush cutter.

2) Fingerless gloves, for when my hands get cold sitting at the PC (would've been better buying them a few months back).

3) Sleep mask, been meaning to buy one for ages as I find it hard to
sleep when it's light outside.

On one site I looked at, Emperor paint is around £125 for 10L and gets a score of 10/10, whereas your Wethertex was £72 (with VAT) for 10L and gets a 9/10 ... seems like a win to me Thumbs Up

Dulux Weathersheild gets 7/10, Sandtex 6/10

All the best ... Barry

Laughing

I'm not sure whether to be horrified at the fact that Polarbear doesn't know what a cock cage is.
... Or the fact that I do.
And no ... I have never seen or operated* one in real life


*(should that perhaps be "inflicted" Thinking )

My favourite hospital lunch of all time :
Two decent sized slices of slow-roasted pork belly cooked in barbecue sauce on a bed of red cabbage (with an extra ladle of sauce). It just melts in your mouth ... I love pork belly days at the Brompton canteen Wub

Annoyingly they quite often serve it on the menu on the same day as a particularly nasty-smelling fish and spinach curry. Puke

I paid £5 for an automated car wash. I haven't washed the car in over 10 years. It did at least get rid of the greenness all over the car, and most of the blackness a little bit. Laughing

I was actually hoping it would divulge the water ingress into the cabin that I am currently encountering but it showed nothing. Will wait until the rains on the weekend.

I'm guessing that your MOT tester isn't a stickler.

My umpteenth Raspberry Pi. I had to "donate" my Pi 4 to a works' project but I've been compensated with a Pi 5 8GB, which is nice Smile

I might set up a ad-server filter as the first project. I have various script and advert blockers on my desktop but trying to read a news article on my phone while having a crêpe is truly horrendous these days Sad

3) 8" wire brush style head for my brush cutter.
