    Things I've seen when riding my bike

    I was a bit shook up and didn't get the reg plate. All I could tell them would be that it was white, 7.5t with flat bed rear and clips on the side that hurt when they all run down your arm.

    Things I've seen when riding my bike

    Hit by a lorry on Belgrave Island in Birmingham last week. Guy just pulled out in front of me and dragged me into the middle of the island. Picked myself up for the guy just to wind the window down and shout "sorry mate" before driving off. Battered and bruised and quite shook up but otherwise...

    Things I've seen when riding my bike

    I have to rant. Especially on this thread. Big live stock lorry overtook me within inches on a duel carriage way in the fog. With no one coming the the way. All the people thinking that theyre unseen using their phones. Except the blue glow from their lap is illuminating their face. It was...

    Minimum beer amount in a pressure barrel

    I've just opened my 10 litre pressure barrel. Got two good pints then nothing. Put a shot of co2 into it and immediately noticed a leak around the copper fitting on the top. Tightened it then added another shot. The excess pressure came out the leak until it settled. Managed a further 4 pints...

    Trashy blonde clone mkII

    Pressure keg woes. Seems I have a gas leak around the top where the copper fitting for the co2 injection goes in. Reckon 10 litres, scratch that, about 8 litres will survive a few days having drawn some air into the keg because of back flow through the bottom tap? May put some in a...

    Trashy blonde clone mkII

    I put 10 litres of this into a small pressure barrel and I've just poured a pint. Tastes woderul. Although I've had to add a shot of co2 after pouring a couple of pints. Seems to have air locked after initial pressure came out.

    Plum wine irregularities

    I've just poured a bottle of a recent AG beer and there's also a small 1mm layer of something sat on the top. Am I doing something wrong?

    Whats the minimum reasonable speed to drive at in a 60 limit

    Or for oncoming traffic that has its own lane. Speed limits are limits. Not targets. I cycle everyday to work and back as it's faster than sitting in traffic. And I see some right lunacy.

    How to build a stir plate for less than ten quid

    I'm sure. Long ago in this thread I said I used a cpu fan with some magnets. A jar of science and a USB 5v thingamjig. Cost me next to nothing.

    Trying cider...

    Depend's on what juices you use for the WOW. Sometimes a wine yeast is better. You can still save the slurry. Wash it down to remove trub and dead yeast and keep the live stuff in the fridge for future use.

    What are you drinking tonight.

    What’s the worst f*ck up you’ve ever done at work?

    Especially if you've not closed the tap to the tank.

    What’s the worst f*ck up you’ve ever done at work?

    Ruined brand new molds, Ruined mixes of resin and metals. Reversed into a DB5 car shell with the forklift moments before it was suposed to be 3d scanned. Pumped resin (part a) into a giant 10 ton tank and forgot to check the valve on the bottom of the tank was closed. To name just a few
