Fog, powercuts, and circling aircraft... now I'm knee deep in feathers after strimming the turkey. I just need it to freeze a bit more, then I can stuff the bugger with my hydraulic press. must check the bottled propane for warming up the furnace Christmas eve. At least I remembered the spray can of fresh cream for the dog when the carol singers call... Like to see them dash for the hills, when Jazz (GSD)appears foaming at the mouth. Oh, and Merry Bl**dy Christmas to you lot.... love Joules >At least I remembered the spray can of fresh cream for the dog when the >carol singers call... Like to see them dash for the hills, when Jazz >(GSD)appears foaming at the mouth. LOL Should have thought of that last night, but don't have dog. Suppose I could have done it myself? Love those GSDs, as well as bulldogs (the most gorgeous dogs). > Oh, and Merry Bl**dy Christmas to you lot.... And the same to you!

Signature-Pip The angle grinder should be reserved for taking the legs off. Joules >The angle grinder should be reserved for taking the legs off. Ah, I see. Would this explain why the bird is now only big enough to feed one and the cats are all happily licking the walls? If I file a bit off and mix it with Araldite will that work to bulk it out again?

I would suggest brazing with a propane torch, using Spam as the filler. Mark Rand RTFM >I would suggest brazing with a propane torch, using Spam as the filler. Hmmm...SPAM doesn't sound like a very useful filller to me - I keep chucking my SPAM in the bit bucket but it doesn't seem to get any fuller <G> Regards, Tony > Hmmm...SPAM doesn't sound like a very useful filller to me A typo.

Now - how do I kill it? Merry Christmas all... SignaturePat Martindale > Now - how do I kill it? Back in the lathe, head pointing to the right. Loosen tailstock, put a live center*) in and slam the tailstock to the left. *) I know it isn't spelled "life center", but I'm still confused about the meaning in this context. Oh, and a peacefull Christmas to all!

'having life' Live can be used as an adjective 'having life' and an intransitive verb 'being alive'. When live is used as the verb it is pronounced like 'give'. When it is used as an adjective it is pronounced like 'dive'. A centre that rotates with the work (being alive) instead of being stationary (being dead). The live centre is at the headstock end and the dead centre is at the tailstock end. If you use a rotating centre at the tailstock end, then both centres are live :-) Hope I didn't make things worse... My English grades were far worse than my maths and physics grades at school.

Tin snips, or if your squeamish, cut off saw as the guard may hide the cut. Judging by previous comments the cut off saw will please the cats. My mate like's cats, uses them for garden mulch, says they can be kept nice and tidy with a quick rake over every now and then to keep the fur straight. Make that 1002 uses of a dead cat.

Reminds me of a review I heard many years ago of a Hindemith opera called "Der Schwanendreher", The Swan Turner. The title refers to a kitchen servant employed to turn roasting swans on a spit, but the reviewer said something like "of course, anyone who has actually eaten swan could be forgiven for thinking he was employed to turn it on a lathe". David SignatureDavid Littlewood >"of course, anyone who has actually eaten >swan could be forgiven for thinking he was employed to turn it on a >lathe". Reminds me of the recipe for cooking goose: 1. Fill a large pan with water. 2. Place the goose in the pan, along with a house brick, and seasoning to taste. 3. Boil until the brick is tender. 4. Discard the goose and eat the brick.
