I've hundreds of them  .... tiny 1.5mm up to 19mm & probably bigger. But as above, no 7mm or 11mm (did actaully have a 7 but it wouldn't fit in)

Same when I got the XE. One end needs a 7mm long hex key and I think that's an 11mm at the other end. Probably the same manufacturer of calipers. Fancy picking the two sizes that nobody will have in their toolbox. >:(

A mate of mine is doing an EV conversion on an old Morris Minor based post office van.

I wouldn't mind betting the additional wind resistance discounts the benefit of anything the solar panel generates.

So yes, owner is plausibly someone as environmentally deluded as Milipede....

Are there elections in May?

They've effectively cancelled many local elections to try and bias the vote.

Take Sussex... West Sussex is predominantly right wing, Brighton is predominantly Vegan leftists. By combining West Sussex with Brighton, they've effectively neutered to Right leaning vote.

"We can't have elections yet because we haven't finished Gerry-mandering the seats". ::)

I think brake cleaner would be overkill. Just a bit of soapy water would be fine, then see if any misting returns.

just stick to the IMPORTANT JOBS , like a new 'magic tree' air freshener for the windscreen  ;)

;D

New magic tree? Wouldn't you just reinstate the one you took off on the way to the test? :-X

Any good?

Bro is looking at one as a potential purchase... Apparently it's a TD4 180 manual. Reviews suggest that the 180 was auto only?

He's looked at a CX5 as well, but not sure what the alternatives are.

My instinct would be to run away from both but for different reasons. :-\

A mate of mine has a 19 plate CX-5 and it's reasonably refined, much moreso than a freelander disco sport, and he's had very little trouble with it.

I think the most bizarre revelation is that Bill Gates caught an STD from a Russian whore, passed it to his then wife Melinda and apparently he slipped antibiotics into her drinks without her knowledge to cure the STD he'd given her.  :o   :-\
.

I only said to my missus this afternoon re Prince Andrew, why are they sending whores halfway across the world to have a shag with him when the UK has plenty of whores over here & they'd be far easier to silence when they decide to start blabbing. Then why allow yourself to be pictured lying over a woman when you're a prominent public figure ?
In all honesty that looks like a pic from a first aid course..😂 He probably doesn't remember any of it though..😂

Even before all of this, it was blatantly obvious that he wasn't the sharpest tool in the box. :-X

It's amazing how all these visitors lounged around in their underwear all the time yet young girls? Nope, can't remember anything about them...

Not everyone has the luxury of not working, and some people choose to because they're rubbish at golf.

I would much rather work than play golf. ;D

Donald has withdrawn the threat of tariffs, saying he has the bones of a deal over Iceland......oops Greenland  ;D

Trump does tend to ramble on, presumably due to his age. Is there a creeping senility starting to form?

It wouldn't be unusual for a US President to be honest. Dubya? Biden? Now Trumpy?  ::)

Of course I'm too young to remember much further back, but I believe Clinton had his mind on other things and Nixon was rather controversial as well?  ???  ::)

Monty Python had Nixon sussed. ;D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOMj6HOmDkM&list=RDLOMj6HOmDkM&start_radio=1

Thats now ordered, £179, which I'm happy with.

That's a beast of a setup, and good discount too, considering iirc the CFS on creality's site is £289 at full price. My k2 is currently in its box blocking up our hallway as I haven't had time to do anything with it since it turned up yesterday. Not sure where the 16kg of hyper PLA is going to live when it turns up sometime in the next hour  ;D

Print yourself an extension. :y

Don't try to tell me you don't use the voice commands on your car ;D

The XE, well certainly the LoLine fitted to her poverty spec one, doesn't appear to have a voice command to cancel the satnag.  That is REALLY annoying, as means pissing around on the touchscreen trying to find the option.

Nope. I spotted the button once and pressed it out of curiosity. Asked it to call my Mum. After about a dozen tries and accidental phone calls I gave up and used the menus (which are also pants).

..although the function to get it to read out SMS messages is OK. (Because reading SMS messages while driving is apparently bad, whilst reading an essay that comes up on the screen about how it's bad to read SMS messages while driving must apparently be OK). >:(
