Served my time as a fitter/turner in the late 80s but been off the tools since the 90s. Would love to see if I could get back into it on a lathe and milling machine just to make "bits" but there was a load of skill in that, that I never achieved.

My sister was caught in this last night.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2qvr64pv7ko

Wading through waist high water with the kids on their shoulders at 1.30am, all squashed in upstairs at a local pub until being evacuated in boats. Everything, including the car, ruined. She has just been at the local ASDA in her wet pyjamas buying clothes for them all.

Hope everyone is okay.

It’s amazing how localised these things can be, it was a wee bit blowy in Brighton last night with about an hour of rain

Thanks mate, they all seem to be in remarkably high spirits at the moment and a friend coming to pick them up. Have a feeling reality may hit shortly

Appalled to see that the Met have bowed to pressure and are reviewing the decision to charge Caroline Flack. Given the level of violence reported, anyone involved in the Criminal Justice System knows it was correct, and celebrity, mental health issues or gender are absolutely immaterial at that stage.
No doubt some custody Inspector/CI will be hung out to dry.

so there's this woman, who's email name is in ALLCAPS and she's from this company that works for a client of ours. She's annoying as shit. So part of having to set them up on our snagging system I had the misfortune of having to lookup some info on their website. Needless to say, I've no clue what they do but I did come across this...

I didn't realise at first that I'd watched a few of this guys videos already, he's got a car restoration project going that I had a look at.

To take the theme to a whole new level, this is insane...

Could have been a lot worse :shock:
Military horses have bolted through central London after a number of the animals got loose.
Army personnel and horses were hurt and vehicles damaged when chaos broke out on Wednesday morning. Reports indicated that up to five people had been injured.

This happened on the same morning Big Ben struck 11 at 9a.m. and then stopped

Beefeaters were seen nailing the Ravens down just in case.
