My god, Tristan -- you are the picture of confidence on all subjects. I may ask you questions about my sexual life if I get in a spot. No, on second thoughts...
Nice personal touches, Scawen. And just in case it hasn't been said often enough, thanks for a great game.
Just thought I should jump on the bandwagon ... where's your helmet Scawen?
Note: If we keep manipulating Scawen's image for our own personal amusement, there's a good chance he will NEVER AGAIN post a photo of himself on this forum ... but, when in Rome ...
Btw, sorry to use someone else's graphic, but I'm at work at the moment (I would otherwise have created my own).
Seriously though, cheers for the progress report Scawen, good to hear you guys are having your well-earned break.
Scawen, I'd be worried, this thread looks the exact same as when a female posts on a forum all the geeks go all funny and start falling over themself, next we'll have a 'most sexy lfs driver' thread
Well yes some more exercise would be good but don't worry too much about my skinny legs - they are always thin no matter how much i exercise, but they are stronger than they look... anyway my big feet make them look extra thin in that photo...
Agreed. The problem was getting the WD40 down there as the hole is only a tiny bit bigger than my arm. So last evening i just dripped 3-in-one oil on it, from above. Couldn't turn it by hand this morning (as expected) so i've made a special WD40 application tool with a tube on a stick - see attached picture. I'll apply that a few times today and make a simple wooden tap turner as well because i expect i'll need a bit more than my extended arm force...
(If possible i want to avoid the freezer spray method - i've already thought about it but really i should have an outside stopcock and it's a better solution if possible and could be helpful in a future water emergency. With the freezer spray i'd have to worry about the ice plug popping out half way through the fitting of the new tap, when i've hacked through the pipe - which could end up disastrous! And as i'm not a plumber it's not sensible to invest in the expensive professional pipe freezing kit with sleeves etc).
