    LOL
    I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car.

    My wife's American brother-in-law likes to use the word mate around me alot.

    But he never quite uses it in the right context, however hard he tries.

    I was glad to note that, in strict accordance with section 7, sections 5&6 were unfinished. However does this imply an unwritten rule that no project shall be undertaken in a logical sequence?

    Notwithstanding you appear to have missed some important sections regarding "no reading any instruction manual" (although looking at the diagrams can be acceptable under some circumstances, likewise out-of-print workshop manuals purchased at garage sales. Being able to interpret the circuit diagrams of any pre-EFI car earns bonus points). Also failed to specify the minimum requisite number of leftovers from any project, suggest 2xnuts, 3 bolts or screws (which shall not be of the same size as the nuts) and at least one rubber/plastic seal, cap, or gasket. All to be stored in an old jar for a minimum period of 15 years after the original project item has been thrown away.

    You need to ask?

    It would seem that you have an out of date copy of the Code. In itself this might be close to the margins of a Code violation. :eek: I suggest that you get an updated copy and refer to para 6.2 - New tools.

    we're not talking about underwear. A thong is an Aussie rubber sandal. (ie footwear.) You'll learn. and welcome.

    I'm wondering if we've adequetly addressed safety in the Code?

    For instance:

    "Even though you think that you may as well finish off ripping those 10mm strips just after you've seen off a visitor to your shed, (who's obviously helped you partake of several code approved beverages) it's really not a good idea. "

    What say the commitee?

    Thank you. I may be a bloke, but I hope I'm not a stupid bloke. No blokely drinks until everything is disconnected from power. I still have all my fingers and toes.:eek:

    Actually, just a poor attempt at some double entendre. We call 'em flip-flops for the slapping noise they make when you walk.

    Clear as mud. We have 4 time zones. Here in the east it's now 7:15, in the center 6:15, in the near west 5:15, in the far west 4:15, and in several states it is still 1886.
