General Discussion Area / air bed puncture

« on: 24 February 2015, 20:33:06 »

It's a kiddies airbed that has its own cover/sleeping bag.

Any suggestions on a repair? Trouble is, the hole is right on the edge of where it's been heat welded together so a patch isn't going to  work.
I'm tempted to give it a dab with a hot soldering iron but I can envisage burning a hole right the way through. Or even maybe a dab of Tigerseal over the hole?

TIA

General Discussion Area / Please read the manual

« on: 12 February 2015, 13:59:53 »

Bought a new washing machine last week, it replaced an old one so was just a case of connecting the water & drain. SWMBO used it today for the first time since I installed it on Monday. It got almost through its cycle & started to dance around the garage!  As it got to full spin I decided that switching it off at the mains would be the best policy!
Having then Please read the manual I discovered I should have removed four screws/bolts that were fitted for transit!

General Discussion Area / You just can't help some people

« on: 18 January 2015, 11:17:45 »

Just nipped to the shops, and a young girl was turning back round at the same place as me, so as we passed each other, I politely suggested that due to the misty/foggy conditions that turning her lights on might be a good idea.
Her reply ............ I'm only going down the road!!!  To which I said ...... so - when someone hits you cos they could/didn't see you, it'd be OK cos you were only going a short distance. The reason why she might want her lights on in the conditions went completely over her (blonde) head! 

I was then following her as she turned off the main road and I got a hand gesture that suggested I play with myself!

No wonder with numpties like that the powers-that-be say we've to now have day time running lights

General Discussion Area / smoking in cars with kids in

« on: 17 December 2014, 20:12:58 »

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-30513439

unless we have smoke & kids detectors at the side of the road how's this going to be enforced? Use of hand held phones is also banned but it still happens ........ see it al the time, and kids roaming around in the back of cars without a seat belt is the same ....... but again I see it frequently - usually in the back of a big 4x4
