..and yes I did hit it with a hammer Stuey..

...that could have been the reason it broke!

Perhaps you haven't used a sufficient quantity and quality of profane language, the sort to make a trooper blush ?

Don't bet on it, I even called on divine intervention when I hit my hand...

......it didn't work..

Soak in hot water, the cylinder not your hand. Surprising what dunking from boiling hot to iced cold water can free off. Especially after a good soak with "Plus Gas" or Diesel. Don`t be tempted with WD 39 & 2 1/2`s or petrol. Keep the pipe attached so you can apply a SMALL amount of oomph. Too much and you could end up eating the piston rod and seals. Before you try all this though make sure the open end of the cylinder is clean from muck, bullets and corrosion. I would drink to help you with this but the flipping bottle must have emptied itself.

Sadly a known side effect of the use of a knocking stick

And another known side effect of the knocking stick best cured with liquid pain killers but I guess you have experience of this cure HG

This starts of a being great advice let down only by the school boy error of running out of alcohol

An error I made only this week but now the Tesco delivery dude has turned up I am once again greasing the wheels of brain cell destruction

Did just find a bottle of Talisker 10 year old in a cupboard. Was saving for special occasions. Just forgot it was there. now lets devise a special occasion.

Gwynn, sad and difficult times ahead for all. Remember you are among friends on here. Don`t reckon there are many that are untouched by times like this. We need someone to come up with a virtual hug. Come on you developers!

Something very odd has happened.

It's Saturday (which isn't especially odd as it seems to be Saturday at least once a week) but it isn't raining and my plane wasn't broken!

So I have spent the afternoon flying. Which is good. And I've come home to an empty (thereby quiet) house which is also good. And I'm going out so see a blues band tonight as part of the Jazz and Blues festival. Which is really good.

It takes me back to my youth. When Saturdays were a time to enjoy yourself. Not clean, shop, taxi children, argue with in-laws, etc.

Long live Saturday!

Since retiring my week consists of 4 Saturdays, 2 Sundays and ½ Monday when I view the results of the weekly competition ½ Thursday (the evening) which is camera club night.

It's Saturday?

Tomorrow is Friday for me...

Still, it isn't stopping me making a big dint in a 5 litre box of red wine left over from Honesty's party last Sunday...

Tomorrow is stay in bed late for me - woo hoo

I wish I could but it'll be Friday (again, for the second time), heaven bless Corbieres...

...that's a nice red wine..

........... and it came in a five lire, lter, litre, yes that's the one, box...

....cheers!

Are you sure she's got your DNA?

Certain, she prfers rose wine and that's nearly finished...

...... that was a 10L box!!

Friday night and I'm going to have a beer or two and watch the Grand Prix. Hint, don't listen to the radio when the Beeb are showing a highlights programme..

...the Dopey news team tell you who's won!!
