This is very true

From HV to LV all proper terminals are crimped.

With car stuff it's more about what access you have also, when you have 10mm of wire left it would take a brave person to go grab a crimping tool and connector.

Is it like the tea drinkers who say they can tell when a kettle has been boiled twice ?

Dave!


I love deliberately making tea with the milk first and watching them not tell the fucking difference and getting a “good cup of tea that” in for the bargain


I saw a video that this stops a slight ...

We don't have a single soldered wire on any engine because of them breaking.

Properly crimped terminals all the way.

Dave!

What a silly thing to do to ruin your last years on earth, clearly something badly wired up there.

Happy to hear it's all over.

Want me to send over a bottle of Cif and a kitchen roll ?

Dave!

I once picked my BIL up from a Peterborough game. They won 7:0 at home and the police stopped the lights over town bridge so all the fans could get into town.

I repeatedly heard them moaning it should have been 8 or 9 etc 😂

Also as half my family support West Ham, it's mainly a different type of ...

Reason 200 why I don't like modern cars

Thermostatic switch, flow switch, set limits, enable. If you want a nice PID curve then fine but other than that it's just doing it because you can, not because it's needed.

It really shouldn't need to be any more complex than that.

Dave!

RIP super dog!!!

Dave!

Absolutely brilliant actor, he left quite the list of movies.

RIP.

Dave!

Clio did a Clionyhing, my fancy 3d printed honeycomb exhaust rubber had made a bid for freedom, no idea where.

2 new standard ones coming in the brackets and I'll bond the fancy ones in next time when I do some underbody work over winter.

Dave!

No hosepipe ban for me as we have to look after the ducks and pond

Will do the same as normal, water the plants from the pond water.

When they stop wasting money and not build new reservoirs while council tits build on flood land, maybe I'll feel bad about it using my hose still.

Dave!

That's a shame, the woman was relentless.

If you need an absolute specimen to inspect, send me over

All the men in my family before me have either died from or had a heart attack at 57.

Just a thought, if jail stresses him out he shouldn't have been naughty?

If Jail is a career choice with a salary, we need to look at our justice system

Dave!

So we are at 3 currently, from tiny acorns etc

Yeah, it’s almost like pulling any idiot you can convince to stand into the party to bolster numbers was a bad idea.

Ed Miliband says "hold my beer"

Dave!

No, we listen to what he has to say as we get a lot of very awkward nerdy people doing gas combustion. We may have to hold the spanner's but they know what they're talking about.

I'd get to know them before taking the piss out of the overly clean PPE and lunchbox 😂

We should hate positively like ...

They should lead with that, not personal attacks.

I just did a stupid thing and wondered what the average debt per council was and see the uk is over 125 billion in debt through the councils.

Considering they can't even ...

When will you be adding the elbow patches

Excellent work!

Dave!

I had a letter about 10 years ago saying I was removed from the list due to my job. I was pleased about this.

Dave!
