  3. Men's Shed Tomorrow. I got my old Au Fairmont aircond to work, so I will take it. I Thought the A/Cond Module was Cactus but it wasn't. Got a new alternator and Multi Vee belt tensioner and an electric window fixed. surprised I can still get the Parts. 1998 year build.. Nev
  4. You can Pay over $120/Hr to have an apprentice cross thread your Oil drain Plug or strip the thread by overtightening it.. Nev
  5. Quite some years Back a Toyota Corolla I think had a nut that retained a chain wheel or timing belt drop off and They said book it in Friday and we will fix it. They then found that one oil change period had gone a bit over the time but not the Mileage. No warrantee!!!. How could THAT make a Nut fall off? . They USED to be a Pretty good car. Nev
  6. Many of them drive too fast to be able to stop quickly if something gets out of shape.. My last trip over the Nullarbour (sp) they Bar one, Behaved quite well That's a fairly civilised road. Nev
  7. SKEW gears are a bad way to do things There's one in a Merlin that causes engine double Mag outs and is the reason most Countries won't have Merlin engines on the civil register. The Howard Vee Motor is as rough as guts. The 600 cc Jap Motor is a Much better proposition. and they also made a Vertical twin.. I sold MY very nice Howard 2 years ago. Never left out in the Open, but still couldn't get Much for it. . Some KR racing Harley 750's have coned cams as the valves are inclined to make the Combustion chamber more compact and achieve a Higher compression ratio and better gas flow. It Puts a lot of end thrust on the camshafts. From a machining Point of view it's not difficult on a Cincinnati tool and cutter grinder. The cam profile itself is harder to do. You need a Master cam Nev
  8. American life expectancy is not that high and is getting worse. Nev
  9. I don't think Arnotts are Australian owned any more. Its US owned, isn't it? Does anyone know WHEN?. I'd look itup but would run out of time to edit. Nev
  10. India obviously hasn't done it's homework, in this instance. Why NOT? Nev
  11. From where I sit the Smart meters were rolling out years ago. We have Coal power stations in poor condition still in service. Failure Means big gaps to fill quickly. . Nev
  12. He's been kicked out of every job he's had for Improper behaviour. No good will come out of this venture. Nev
  13. Even the OIL companies KNOW it's happening.. Plenty of deniers do so because it's in the Financial interests BHP lost a lot of face Recently and were caught out breaking a promise.. Trump and Hanson are Notable deniers but Hanson is a Trump Worshipper (and Farage and Victor Auban) Trump has also Handicapped the EPA. Nev
  14. I watched a documentary about the Webb telescope last Night . It enables us to look way back in time, All that Info was made available to the entire world. One of the Most important Scientific achievements EVER. Nev
  15. Let's jump to today and see How it runs. The Lord works in Mysterious ways, they say. Nev
  16. So PMC, everything is OK. Just keep on adding CO2? Nev
  17. Think I'd like to be More capable than a jellyfish. thanks. Lots of them are a sign there's something wrong with the ecosystem. Nev
  18. That car issue qualifies as a Legitimate GRIPE. . Nev
  19. Probably Not. Local slang can be deliberate as an identifier and confusing to the Uninitiated.. Without looking at People it's harder to get the Meaning/intention as accurate. Communication is an ART. Nev
  20. It's Lorem ipsum (lat) a non sensical fill in word. We generally just use a swear word to fill in till our Brain thinks of something. People who swear a lot don't have to think as fast . Nev
  21. Plenty of Latin derived talk talk around. Churches use it and doctors used to write Prescriptions in it. Pidgin is used in PNG as a bastardised language.. ( I may have the spelling wrong) it uses words Like Buggarup for Broken. A Binatang (mosquito) IS a small Plane A Balus is a large one.. and so on. Nev
  22. Marty-d. Hypothetical situation. They don't talk. They communicate on their I Phone. OME You are requiring they Comply with our ways, or else. . Is that fair? Sentences are structured as we are used to. Nev
  23. Most governments will rely on that excise for revenue. This assistance can't go on forever. We still have our triple "A" rating, That has a direct effect on what government borrowing costs. it's normal to borrow for Infrastructure same as it's normal to borrow for business or sell shares to fund it's initial and expansion costs. Nev.
  24. It's logical for them to assign another word/name for any NEW Object or Phenomenon they observe as all peoples have done. Nev.
  25. Who said about night, but batteries would take care of that storage is the big Game changer. Quick response. Nev
