    Byretorial - The 50-year experiment

    That's another reason I wouldn't recommend anyone takes steps to manage their health. It's not just moronic comments by internet trolls, some of them are even low enough to make patronising suggestions in real life too. It's not really an issue to me, Walter Mitty types with snarky comments...

    Byretorial - The 50-year experiment

    I stopped eating bread years ago. I have swallowing problems, a tiny little bit gets stuck in my throat, it swells up, I start retching and convulsing uncontrollably, until I wretch up a cupful of blood. An hour later, I'm fine. It's just stress. I know this, because I was told it was, by a GP...

    Pokémon Go

    The story isn't the Pokemon. Well, it is, like, but the real story is Augmented Reality. The Pokemon may Die, but this more or less confirms that Augmented Reality will live on long after Pokemon shuffle off. And no, I'm not playing it. Bet I would if I had a smart phone though.........

    Headaches

    Been there, real blinders, particularly on a Sunday, for some reason, when I was looking forward to a day off. I could have taken pain killers, but I didn't, haven't done for years. I got my back sorted, that was causing 80% of the problem. Then I got my diet sorted, now I very rarely get a...

    Engine Carbon cleaning....new business.

    Water injection will take carbon off the top of the piston, and out of the combustion chamber. It will also release stuck rings. Yes, I'm a mechanic, yes, I've seen what water injection can do. Yes, most of what you see coming out of the exhaust is from the exhaust itself, but not all of it...

    Engine Carbon cleaning....new business.

    So this is basically just a glorified static water injection kit? You are aware that you can do exactly the same thing with a knapsack sprayer, for £40-£100, wall paper stripper, or even a little hand help water squirter, for a couple of quid? There is no question about the benefits of water...

    The End Of UKIP

    Then I would have to suggest that you are quite isolated from the wrath of those who wanted nothing to do with this deranged experiment in the first place. That's not just those who voted Remain, it's those who didn't vote, who were never asked if they wanted a referendum at all, and those who...

    The End Of UKIP

    I think this is going to be such a disaster, that in 12 months time, it'll be a job to find anyone to admit they voted out, let alone a whole party dedicated to leaving the EU. It will be a concept too scared to speak it's name.

    business/life advice

    The single thing I have found most effective for completely getting my mind off business issues, or any issues, is a new air rifle. I really wasn't expecting that to happen, just goes to show, you should always try different things. I'd been hankering after one for a while, finally got it...

    business/life advice

    It's not difficult to let a business overwhelm you. Keep times of day, or the week, strictly for other activities, don't compromise. Do something that takes you mind away from the business totally. Two things that helped me was doing as little business as possible in the rooms that I actually...

    Byretorial - Brexit or the UK falls apart, or just both?

    Oh Boy, this is going to be fun to watch..........

    Mail on Sunday

    Please don't read the Mail, it's really bad for you. The only reason I know is because I sometimes have to listen to people talking who I know read it.

    We're out - what does it mean to you?

    Which part of Wales are you living in? A few years ago, millions of pounds, (Euros?) of EU money was spent resurfacing roads in Mid Powys, after a particularity hard winter. 8 Million IIRC. They'd be dirt tracks by now, without that money. Add that to the Farm Subsidies, which I know basically...

    We're out - what does it mean to you?

    I can't imagine the medium term effects of the economic turmoil having a great deal of effect on my business. I'm not exactly an international player, most my customers are not either. As with most of these crisis, it sort of bypasses Wales. Never gets the good times, nor much of the bad. Deeply...

    Saying No To Heavy Lifting?

    From memory, 25 kilo is the maximum, providing it's not an awkward object. A bag of cement, at 25 KG, is a lot easier to lift than a table, at 15KG. If it's a greater weight, or awkward, then it's a two man lift, or a mechanical lift, or some such term. Anyway, that's all well and good if who...
