State of the Game

[Bottom Hat]

I designed Tess Daly & Vernon Kay's loft conversion a few years back, they're both tall but really nice.
Usually you tall people freak me out - my Welsh genes allow me to creep about in low tunnels without bashing my head.

I'm only 6 foot but was with tall guys that night - Paul (the unmentionable) is 6'4, but begbie had to have been around 5'6 - he was with his wife only, and to be fair we probably terrified them a bit by surrounding them! Innocently and in admiration, but 4 drunk big blokes doing that wasn't the best idea on hindsight!

As you have welsh genes, do you know the go compare man?

If they dont return as ghost ships full of horrors that give even deranged ww2 veterans like BH nightmares, then i'm going to be very disappointed.

I'm not sure that they'll return with you on board, capturing them and talking at them for hours over how the ghost ship could be improved.

He's the Italian batman to Wynne Evans' Welsh Bruce Wayne.

Well thats a new one. My father in laws car has alternator trouble and the mechanic taught them hitting it with an iron bar will keep it limping along until it can get fixed properly (since the car is needed tomorrow).

It's such a fantastic stereotypical welsh name! I imagine he's more of a Bryce Wyn though when doing his millionaire playboy thing though?!

Gotta love cheap hacks!

I was going to mention that this is a dangerous path to take in here, but it seems I am too late....!

Beating on an alternator ? I've heard of beating on a starter to deal with stuck solenoids ...but i'm not sure what beating on an alternator is supposed to do ...the moving part is in the center. and it rotates all the time. The part that fails or not is electrical and not mechanical at all.

I've never heard of it either- maybe it was the starter. Either way its working for now and violence solved the problem.

Starter would make much more sense. the solenoids get stuck as they fail and beating on it can jostle them loose ... though you generally beat on the main motor housing and not directly on the solenoid since that can sometimes be plastic or out of the way. when i lived where they had seasons, starters were probably the least reliable mechanical thing on the car.

My back light was out today when I came home from work so I wacked it, I've now got a stuck on brake light.
Looks like I'll be scraping some of the rust out of the fitting tomorrow.

Beating on the side of the carburetor was once the first thing you'd try if your VW didn't want to go. It was also kind of satisfying.

no reboot to magically get everything to limp home mode?

You're used to beating on other things I heard. Most of them senior members of the cloth.

Just because i'm not 70 years old doesn't mean i'm young enough for those guys.

Exactly, you pick on bishops when you want to bash something.

Dirty boy.
