Funny looking castings for someone
« on: February 12, 2018, 07:05:24 PM »
After the best part of an hour raking about in the roof-space, I found the little buggers.  :ThumbsUp:

150mm x 24mm OD borosilicate tubes.  10 off.

Coming down the ladder I mis-stepped resulting in my right kneecap adopting a latitude roughly the same as my tonsils.   :ShakeHead:

Some body not far from Hampshire owes me a mug of tea and a comforting cuddle.   :naughty: 

I can manage the profanities myself.  ;D

Ouch! Your feet are not supposed to trade places with your head on ladders!   :o

Were those tubes left over from your meth-lab days?  :naughty:

Do I see a Sterling build in your near future?

Hi Dave,
I live in Hampshire. You are welcome to a hot mug of tea any time your passing, but you will have to go elsewhere for your comforting cuddle :lolb:

First it is your back and now your knee, you got to look after yourself Dave  :slap: I would offer you a chocolate sticky thingy to go with your tea but as they were a Valentine gift I am not sure if I should be mentioning anything about those :embarassed:



I am not sure if they count as castings  :headscratch: but I could find a home for them and Graham has got the idea of my plans  :naughty:

Jo

P.S. While I have Chocolate Sticky things I am still hopeful for wednesday  :mischief:

Hi Troops ..  in no particular order ...

Mike.     I don't (knowingly) cuddle blokes. That's reserved for Premier League footballers and I'm way below their pay-scale. ( And a lot prettier ).

Graham.      It had occurred to me but I've got another Stirling to finish when a get one of them round things.

Chris.    No Meth. days ... I'm a rather unadventurous creature, never got beyond beer and nicotine, don't even do that now apart from e-cigs.

Jo.       Bit surprised the sticky wotsits have survived thus far ....  :headscratch:    Anyway, my knackered back has been there for some 30-odd years  :( The knee is a different tale. On several previous occasions I have gone up there in my slippers, and I've come off the loft ladder before.  :facepalm: Nothing new. I never learn. Pavlov wasn't always right ...

If nothing better turns up on Wednesday ... cut and paste these

 :Love:  :Love:  :Love:  :Love:  :Love:  :Love:  :Love:  :Love:  :Love:  :Love:  :Love:

Cheaper than a proper card and zero postage.

Time for a Becky & Naproxen.

Dave

PS  You are the new owner of more wood-screws ..  :whoohoo:

PPS How did jankers go today ??

Those tubes I have are some 21 - 22mm bore. ( I have a broken one, must measure it, IIRC they are a bit more than 1mm thick).

So, what's the diameter of the marbles?
