And to end the day, she curbed the car driving me back from the pub.  A pub where I fancied a shandy with my grub, but they had no lemonade.

HTF can a pub not have lemonade?
surely they had some other alcoholic liqueurs to sweeten up the sour taste of the beer  :-\

Diet Pepsi, Diet Fanta and Pepsi Max were all that they could provide.  None of which would go in beer.

They were blaming it on the upcoming sugar tax, so all sweetened softdrinks have been removed from their pump things. Dimwits.  But, then, it was Banburyshire, and regulars here know that those from Banburyshire are very strange folk, caused by all the inbreeding there.

Oh, does anyone know where I can get an M5 reverse thread flange nut?

your favorite place to buy clicky 

or search "left hand thread"
Yeah, tried there already (looking for UK based sellers, as getting severely cheesed off with far east sellers on egay, and their 6-8 week delays).

Was hoping someone would know of a decent UK fastener supplier who will do mail order for relatively small quantities (ie, around a dozen).

I get all my nuts & bolts either from Kays Fasteners or Spalding Fasteners. Kays are on eBay, Spalding are on eBay and their own website.

It was the wrong occasion to get too 'dangle berries'ed.  And at my age, Monday morning is too hard if I go mental on a Sunday eve.

Used Kays a fair bit (they do a lot of tiny stuff, suitable for models), but couldn't find anything suitable online.  I'll have a call round tomorrow - got a few options now :y

I certainly do, like Saturday night's St Georges dinner dance down at my local social club. :y A first class 3 course roast beef meal with half a bottle of wine for £20 followed by a great disco with plenty of dancing and dancing partners. :y A good time had by all. :y

I'm sure the 23rd as St Georges day will be celebrated by wall-to-wall coverage by BBC England like they do with BBC Scotland, BBC Wales & BBC NI with their patron saints. ??? ??? ???

Bet it hardly gets a mention-if mentioned at all-after all it might offend someone somewhere and we don't want to be doing that now do we?

Serves you right for trying to ruin a perfectly good pint. :P

Please tell me it wasn't a half? ::)
