    Sensible Topic Was it a special Jewish day yesterday or today?

    I am an insomniac and will only get a few hours sleep a night without medication. I went out out at 2am this morning to get some shopping. The streets were lined with Jews, I'm quite close to the area they consider one of the best educational facilities. I used to live even closer. First thing...

    Looking for a very small compression spring

    I had to buy a new emergency stop switch for a small machine I bought, it was damaged and wouldn't stay down. I took the old switch apart after replacing it (£12.50) and found a tiny spring, which applies pressure to a ball bearing, had been dragged into the mechanism is no longer a spring...

    What are these types of containers called, and where can I buy?

    Seen countless of these thrown out but I'm looking for some for small tools etc.

    Replace a machine lamp dichroic bulb with LED questions

    I have an old illumination system from a Vision Systems microscope, and I think the gooseneck lamp (focusable) would be ideal for my lathe. It's well made (in Surrey) stuff, heavily built. The illumination unit looks like this, there is a cylindrical heatsink at the back, I'll have to orient it...

    Sunderland street fight

    The comments say this is Geordie but to my ear it is Sunderland, probably somewhere on the outskirts.

    I see a pattern...

    I went to Northumbria University for a BEng. Yes, I know, ex-poly, but the courses were IET approved, probably more strict then than now. I wasn't in a position to bargain and took what was available :). I know what the approximate origin demographic of it was 15 years ago. I bet it hasn't...

    Delivery drivers and parcel throwing

    I've just participated in a newspaper thread about parcels being thrown over a wall. I see them quite often, maybe due to the current conditions. Here is my offering to mankind! (I'll not be able to afford the bill for the patent, I bet it exists anyway...). "ShockWatch" type sticker with...

    I'm not surprised

    So, Gateshead will probably go back into lockdown. I often walk down Jackson street to get to Tesco. I often witness old men coughing their lungs up onto the pavement. Just Friday, I had to hurry at the hole-in-the-wall because some fucker was clearing his lungs out. I made it to the middle of...

    I'm getting used to Tesco Rustlers burgers, these lot are somewhat more sceptical...

    I like Rustlers, it's all in the sauce.

    Recommend a series for me on IPTV

    I've covered Family Guy, American Dad and South Park a few times now and have to wait for new episodes. Can anyone recommend something I might like? As you can see, I'm not really into serious stuff!

    Virgin Media contact via messenger or live

    How are people cutting their hair?

    I've read a few things about how hair cutting is occuring at the moment. Just wondering what DW is doing :). I started wet shaving my head at university, years ago, to save the Friday afternoon wait, and the average £7 charge (since then). A few people commented on it as I have a full head of...

    What would you sell your soul to the Devil for?

    What is your opinion on masks or respirators?

    I make a differentiation between masks (basic, surgical type) and ones with filters of some description. I'll call them masks and filtered masks. Shopping in Newcastle, I'm used to seeing Far East Asians with masks (two universities and a Chinatown). I've been told that's to stop others...

    Phones and shopping

    I could get round Tesco or M&S in half the time during this "social distancing", which I try to observe, if people weren't dawdling because they are messing on with their phones. Stopping in their tracks pushing a trolley in the middle of aisles to fiddle with their phone...

    Sensible Topic The 5G and Coronavirus thing

    I'm sure there is no connection. I wonder what made the connection in the first place though?
