The idea that Trump couldn't be trusted with any intelligence works on all levels. As does the idea that his supporters place no value on it.

Sounds to me that Greene's poisonous experience with Ivey left Tway and his knickers all knotted up.

The Triton ones have a single roller and a fold out leg, so they store flat. It would be easy to make one.

Hmm, maybe Triton don't have that style anymore. Anyway, this sort of thing...

Having sworn I'd never buy anything from Festool ever again, I just paid a fortune for a Rotex 90mm. I find my Makita 150mm rotex-style sander is a better sander than my Rotex 150 was, and a hell of...

Yep. If you were a god, you'd dump the US legal system and build a decent one from scratch but given it is what it is, the DOJ must follow their procedures perfectly to avoid a clearly biased supreme...

No, I didn't know that. It's a long time since I had chickens but nearly all of them laid. Have you spoken to them about it?

I don't eat meat because I don't need to and I don't want to contribute...

Point taken, and an increasing problem but currently, vast areas of the planet have already been destroyed and are currently being destroyed by grazing, including a massive proportion of my own...

Better to eat the eggs.

Too much time, it seems.

85% of soybeans are used for cooking oil, used primarily in processed foods. The most destructive form of agriculture on the planet is cattle grazing for meat. Fodder production also has a high...

That's what I'm hoping to see, except just standing might be enough to do that. I guess it's my optimism that, Phillipines aside, no country has enough stupid people for someone like Trump to be...

Ponderous. Like watching grass grow in winter. Like a hungry cow watching grass grow in winter.

Square peg in square hole.

10' SUP or a mal?

My plan - I have many plans - is to start always taking the mal and a short board to the beach and use whichever one seems right. Cold water has always made my ankles ache like...

Is that you on the SUP? Amazing to think that SUPs have been around for over 10 years! Seems like yesterday they popped up and JB was spruiking their merits. I first saw them really performing in...

It is for some, sadly.

Phew!

Brits must be in mourning! Archers and Neighbours kaput within months! Or blessed!

Name changed to Merit based on recent activities.

Based on my deep knowledge of criminal investigations derived entirely from tv shows .... Don't investigators often use one legitimate line of enquiry to conduct a wider search to see what other...

In over 60 years, I've never met a vegan or a vegetarian who's tried to talk anyone out of eating meat or declared themselves morally superior. Of course, according to the media, there are some, and...

I don't think you'll have a problem with your boat as, presumably, it's not sitting out in the sun all the time. No, I didn't use UV inhibiting hardener. I don't think any varnish really stops UV...

People outraged by intolerance delight in waving raw meat in front of people who choose not to eat meat because it is cruel and wrecking the planet. None of us like intolerance but hypocrisy is no...

I just finished some bathroom cupboard doors with resin and then varnished over that. I used foam rollers for the resin this time and I'm really happy with how that went. I got a very smooth finish...

Uroxys?

A pandemic of knickers in knots. Oh dear! :)

They are different now. They know they've been wrong about, well, pretty much everything, and, perversely, it makes them more cynical and more dangerous. And we all need to find a way to be rid of...

Thanks! Hector was my grandfather's name and my middle name. I didn't know there was a Hector dolphin!

Wow! What a project, Mike!! And your workmanship is fantastic!

I'll read through the whole thing later but is the boat called Hector? Why Hector?

Looks great Mike! Looking forward to seeing the rest!

Sad to see Judith Durham go, that's for sure.

I hadn't heard of the Morbic dinghies - thanks! They look nice!

Mike, is there a picture of your green boat?

NOW you're sounding like an expat! :)

Hey, good luck Tom! Working overseas is great - a real adventure! I did it for a bit more than 6 years, in 3 different countries, also in education. I've known quite a few people working in...

They don't use reels for anything except marches these days, I think. Rescues are all done with rubber duckies, jet skis and rescue boards, as far as I know. Surf boats and rescue boards feature in...

Brookvale, Winbourne Rd in particular, was a Mecca for surfboard manufacturing back then. There were at least a dozen factories on that road and on adjoining streets. I think Gordon Woods went on to...

Might be better for the OP to use past tense:

Yes, that's the reason for the foam. I want something I can carry easily over sand or mud, and lift up onto the boat with one hand. My glass kayak weighs only about 16kg.

Not really a water poet, either.

Well done Gary! That is the boat I plan to build unless a better design emerges!

Tennyson would have drowned. Haiku is more suitable.

It has to be beautiful, of course! If it can be converted to sail, that's great. Also capacity to carry a tiny outboard but I think any dinghy can do that. The main things are that it does well and...

You never know what's going to bubble up from The Bilge.

I'm glad someone asked.

There used to be a BBC (?) tv series in which some idiot would visit an enterprise (usually a factory) each week and then meet with their owner or board, whatever, to inform them of ways in which...

Same here. Conservatives have killed off pretty much all manufacturing in line with this most ridiculous ideology. But here, our conservatives are dependant upon rural sector votes for their...

Tautology?

Well, Masina's much younger sister, Echo, just sold at auction for about 20K NZ so I think the modern version of that challenge has just been answered! Okay, Echo apparently has borer infestation in...

Okay, it stinks, and having been on a bus full of people eating durian, and a stack of the kids being car sick, I know the smell well! But have you eaten it? It's actually very nice!

Working in Vietnam, I was obliged to eat whatever local delicacy was served up. Most of it was great but some of it was simply disgusting, to me. But the worst 'food' I've ever had to endure was...

Opportunity missed there! Imagine the price you could have charged for tickets! How many seats command a 360 degree view?!
