I was just browsing through and read about your delivery woes. SWMBO and I just purchased a machine weighing 160 kilos including the pallet and standing at 1.2 metres high. It is a specialised...

Boy, I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous right now.:C

Like a lot of other forumites, I've been reading with interest the comments and 'remarks'.
For over 20 years now, I have seen the results of incidents with table-saws, and every single person has...

My SWMBO was sick of looking at the long grass and decided she would do some mowing. It was a stinking hot day and I waited for awhile thinking she would soon collapse.
My conscious got the better...

Oops. You are quite correct about A.A. Milne. Sorry. It's old age catching up with me.:doh:

As for the fairie stories, I concur wholeheartedly, which is why I suggested Aesop's fables as opposed...

Actually, I believe that Enid Blyton termed 'TTFN', apparently used by Tigger???? in her Winnie the Pooh series. At least I think that's where it came from.

Just a moot point, one is usually...

I love the old SNAFU.
Situation Normal. All ????ed Up.

Rod, you've got to remember that this 'GW' stuff is for all intents and purposes a religion, and you know that any criticism of the myth will only bring about heated responses.

Unlike most other...

pulled him off with a flourish and threw it out into the lake, taking with it......

Actually I find these abbreviations interesting, especially when used by those who are handicapped by the written word. For example, SWMBO is a common abbreviation and yet I often see S'H'MBO.
I...

As she left the bank, a woman stood in some doggy doo. She looked around to find somewhere to scrape the mess from her shoe and decided that the curb would do nicely. She leaned on the car parked...

Temperature control.
Please send my winning cheque to me at the address stated in my pm.:D
Better still, I'll call in and collect in person.

Just curious....but how did number 12 take those photos without being arrested?:o

That was tough. What a bunch of talented people.
A special mention for entry 12 who needs medication of some sort.:;

Nah, just buy a cheapie from Bunnings and scratch it up a bit. Then tell them you made it from a 3,000 year old bunya pine that you cut down from the national park late one night.:D
At least you'll...

What about a mop handle?:doh:

I fitted my old 7 1/4" B&D saw with a fine diamond blade and then fitted it upside down to my B&D workmate as a 'table saw'. By closing the sides so that only a small gap exists either side of the...

Hey Brickie, I think they're taking the p**s.

My SWMBO looked intently at the piccy and wanted to know what the joke was.:doh:

After years of research, scientists have discovered that women do not <tt>like </tt><tt>the </tt>standard mouse given away with PC's. Scientists found that there <tt>is </tt><tt>no physical reason...

That is very nice. Can't wait to see it finished.
I keep telling SWMBO not to throw out old timber for that very reason.:oo:
Well, what are you waiting for? Go out now and finish it and post some...

I'm sure Metalhead, being a tradesman, will come up with the goods for you, but I just wanted to let you know that I had the very same problem several years ago, but on a slightly steeper incline.
I...

Thanks KevM.
That's perfect.:2tsup:

Hey Stu, or anyone for that matter, please point me in the direction of a site that lists the Triton router bits? Piccies would be helpful as well.
I am sick of reading about people being happy with...

You haven't seen my welding, have you?:no:

If you had seen any of my work, you wouldn't say that. At least when I weld there are plenty of breathing holes and it is solid enough to hold a...

Maybe a BIG gun barrel. Just for one off shoots of course.

Sounds very tempting, but that stuff usually isn't real cheap. I'm sure someone will come up with some top ideas.
It's shame you couldn't get hold of a little home welder. I think they're around...

OK. Another idea.
Why couldn't you join it with some heavy round dowel to make storage racks?
Or drill out some uprights (if you can get a spade bit big enough) and create shelving/racks etc.
...

You could build a nice go-kart or motorbike frame or better still......send me a pile of it.:D

Oh that's right, you said ,"Don't ask for freebies.":doh:

Don't know if this is any help, but I used to make reproduction antiques and kid's toys and blocks etc. I used to wet sand everything using turps and wet & dry paper with a rubbing block. With a...

Yep, just another love-fest. I must be really clever because I predicted that almost all the invitees would be either 'republicans' or Kev supporters. I was caught off-guard when actors were also...

I bought a freehold shop for my business a few ago, after checking out the so-called 'heritage' stuff, because I wanted to carry out some heavy re-designing. Yep, not a worry.
A few weeks into the...

Ok, so name something worthwhile above the navel.:rolleyes:

I feel sorry for your 'bloke'.

I knew there was something odd about Incoming. :o
She obviously wants to be pickled on the outside too. I've heard on the grapevine that she is already being pickled from the inside from all the...

A blond walked up to the counter and asked for 2 pieces of fish and $2.00 worth of chips.

The lady on the other side looked at the blond and said, "Sorry, but this is a library dear."

"Oops."...

Hey Stuart. I wonder if it's because they are not busy enough. The Toowoomba store is massive and the staff are always on the go.
I reckon the quiet stores might give people time to 'think' and as...

thought it might give his new recipe a lift. Before Wongo could grab the tasty morsel Barry.....

Of course we like the POMS. :2tsup:
Who else, apart from the Kiwi's and the Irish, could we take the P155 out of? :;
We have to share it around a bit, but let's keep it confined to sport, climate...

Actually, I do like cats. They taste just like chicken. They go great in a curry too.:D

How can you say you hate them if you haven't tasted one?:o

People who own cats have got to be fair game. Let's go for it.:;
Thanks for the tip HH.:2tsup:

I worked with a bloke who had the strangest experiences with animals. I'd love to write a story on his adventures, but I doubt anyone would believe it.
For example, he came into work one morning...

The huntsman is your friend. :o
They eat cockies and like to live under bark or in your ceiling. They are often found in homes near bushland or newer homes.
I love 'em. They can give a painful,...

Oops....I just read your post Bleeder.
Replace 'staff' with 'team members' in my post.:B
Apologies to Bunnings staff.:doh:

Yeah ya big skirts, do the drive.

I have had that experience with female staff at Bunnings as well, Stuart, but not over the phone. Although they have been pretty straight and found a person...

I have just completed another 1,020 kilometre round trip to Bunnings in Toowoomba. Now I know they (Bunnings) get bagged a lot, but I have to say that the service I have received each and every time,...

Geeze, wooden that hurt.
At least the tree is still rooted to the spot.....just like Mr. Bono is r***ed.:oo:

Wouldn't touch it with a 40' barge pole.:no:

Is that the same John who called me out the other week?
I turned up at his house and he was sitting in the kitchen with jelly stuck in his right ear and cake jammed in his left ear.

When I asked...

I like to think I have an open mind regarding 'global warming'. Isn't that convenient? Well it is for me.
BUT.....the physics doesn't add up to what the GW groupies are espousing. Al Gore has...
