    Well, all the very fastest athletes / high jumpers etc. are now Black (In the past, racism of one sort or another blocked them out of sponsorships and thus “The Games”). However, white folk excel is Swimming because of the bone thing. Apparently, there is up to 20% difference in Bone density.

    Anyway, I didn’t want this threaad to go down this alley, Mods lock it if thee wish.

    No it isn`t….and what about `White men can`t jump` LOL

    Due to Bone density differences, White men can’t jump and Black men can’t swim. (At a decent competitive level).
    There, I’ve pointed out differences but in no way is it racist – although I’m sure some unread people would claim it is.

    Very true, and in the long run you’ll only make life harder for yourself…

    SHOCK HORROR.

    I used an adjustable this very morning.
    I needed it to turn a screwdriver, the driver needed my body weight on as somebody had stripped the posidrive out of it, I could just get a grip with a smaller driver and FORCE. Job done, screw replaced.
    Most people don’t realise screwdrivers have a spanner Hexagon on the handle.

    She’s still small by comparison with my other half who doesn’t even have the advantage of being that tall to help carry it off. I think she’s a size 20/22 and 5’4″ no wonder I don’t dare argue.

    Aah, Rugby ball shaped!

    I’m off for a bath, and bed!!!

    I was forced into rugger by my school. The head thought he was at Eaton or something! Rugger and Cricket were the only team sports he allowed.
    He retired in our 3rd year and footy was introduced, we were like prisoners set free and played footy until it hurt. This was in the days of Best, Osgood etc. Hence, I like both but my heart is with footy.

    Rescued this from the scrap pile at the engine shop yesterday:
    24 hours later it’s been dismantled, degreased, plastic media blasted & partially painted. Should have it finished & reassembled by Monday.

    Oh how I remember topping up that coolant cup!

    I have two pictures of two hand tools that need identifying.
    Turn the handle and the tip rotates once per handle turn AND reticulates up and down, as if a honing device. But honing is not a hand held task.
    What do you think they are?

    edit – I downloaded these a long time back, maybe off this very forum. I was determined to find out what they were for that person, maybe it was you ha ha.

    5 weeks!
    That is an agony. I pain for them.

    Friends on here can be typecast, (Pun intended) but can be a fantastic release.
