with pestilence their is no collateral damage
Except for the old, sick and genetically faulty.
How very eugenic of you.
 
They are the ones that will be the easy targets, already concerns about the big super bugs lounging around hospital corridors picking off the sick and elderly, as mentioned the pestilence will be something that crosses from animal to humans as it has in the past.
 
Pestilence is a great word. It ranks right up there with recalcitrant and vexatious.
 
I am really pissed of.

I dropped an SU needle on the floor.


And as it is made of brass....and the carpet is not far off the same colour.....

I am really pissed off about having get down and try to find the ******* thing
 
I feel your pain Stu.

I build car, plane, and bike models, and when I accidentally drop a tiny part, I go through the same agony.

Haha. I pity the fool that buys that one! Carpet's better than a shed with rice hulls for a floor though. Great for soaking up calf pee, terrible for soaking up sockets and small important things.

Iran already has that, with added homicidal theocracy for good measure. All they need is the nukes. I genuinely shudder to think what would happen.

Also, more than a few *********. Actually a surplus. Unfortunately they run the country and military.
Looks like the **** could not just hit the fan but cover it with what is going on in Iraq,all the lies over WMD and now this!
FFS who did not see this kicking off,get rid of one crackpot and let another take over,problem was the sad man ( Saddam Hussien) was backed for many years by the UK, USA and AUS then held too account,gotten rid of only for another to take his place as it all turns to ****.
Well I guess that's what ya get when you go interfering in other people's lives and business.
I could say that shutting this countries borders and telling everyone to **** off then going it alone is / would be a good idea but, we all know that it wouldn't happen .
It would make us a target,if we sit back and think for a moment,what is it that we do not have?
Yep it's Friday and I have hada couple......man I need a piss so bad followed by another beer...actually a steak and a root would go down a treat ,the steak 30 minutes,the root...well the second bang would be the screen door slamming. :)

I am renting.

I know that under the carpet is hardwood floors.

Being on the Nth NSW coast..every older house has T&G floors.

I cant complain. The house is still full of the owners wares. She is in a hospice. I pay cash rent. Her son lives over the back fence. He is a semi-ret mechanical eng. He has fridges and keg setups.

I am not silly.

SU carburrettors are wonderfully simple devices. Easy to tune and last longer than dinosaurs...
But f%k...the outside castings have to many nooks and cranies to get a toothbrush or wire brush into....even after being soaked in petrol over night.
Any way...I have an 1 1/8 & 3 x 1 1/4 for sale...
Had a set of triple SU's on my 186S (bored to 192), EH Ute, celica 4 speed. Great when they were in tune but an absolute PITA to keep that way
 
Poddy Calf.

Did them when I was a kid.

Buckets full of milk powder and water.

Stick your hand down with you fingers up
 
Shaunous, I miss the country and can't go to jail for imprisoning calves in my shed?

One of my old work sheds on the farm was also the calf shed where I'd bucket rear angus cross friesian calves for breeders. It had pens on both sides and we'd fill em with bales of rice hulls which were a lot more manageable and cheaper than sawdust. I filled the rest of the floor with hulls too so when they were let out for a run there **** wouldn't stick to my boots. It just meant when working on the tractor or bikes you learnt not to drop anything.

Stu's on the money. Seen the price of a bag of milk powder nowadays Stu?

How so...the linkages are a real C%&t...but once you get the neddles and balance right they stayed in tune. The biggest prob was when "those that could tune" started playing with the linkages
 
****.. I still cant find this needle.

Its an RE8.........

I have an AN in my ute.

Want to compare the 2 as the AN is running rich, so I want to compare the thickness between them
 
Get the vacuum cleaner out and rap a stocking around the head. Well it worked well for when I spilt the ........

No....actually...but it WAS CHEAP.

Oh them freezing mornings when we had to mix powdered milk with a kettle full of hot water to disolve it then add cold water. And it qas a kettle full per calf. And when you you had 10 calves...
 
Spent a bunch of my scarce apprentice money on a 650 Holly with vacuum secondaries for my HQ Statesman with a stupidly lumpy cam.
What a piece of ******* ****.
Never got it to do anything right. Pinged its head off no matter how big I went on the mains.

Got given a Rochester 750 with mechanical secondaries that needed a kit put through it. Awesome.
You could virtually watch the fuel gauge move when the secondaries opened. Roared like a ************.

Ah, those were the days.
Time wasting, expensive days..

Thank **** for EFI.

A quality stocking. Not one with a ladder in it.
Actually, check first. You don't want to be emptying a bag of lint on the table desperately looking for your jet cos you pooled your money to buy the jet with a mate.
Just sayin.
