Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Work. Ugh. Specifically told them I didn't want to do overnight stays which has been OK up until now. Then get told you HAVE to do an overnight tomorrow night because nobody else is free to replace you on the 2 jobs we have put you on. Which means sharing a hotel room with a person who I've never met before because the manager will snaffle a room all to himself.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Having another go at fixing the oven clock / programmer. It's one of those with the revolving drums. Two of the gears in the reduction drive had stripped the smaller 10 tooth part of the cog. Thought I'd found replacements out of a washing machine programmer but when fitted the clock ran fast. Turns out they have 49(?!?) teeth instead of the 50 that I needed, the smaller part had the correct number at 10. The gears are modulo 0.4 and that's not common.
Trawled the net and the only ones I could find were from a Spanish company, 98p each but a whopping £15 p&p and you needed to be a company and register with them.
Using my hobby drill, a selection of burrs etc and some araldite married the 50 tooth part of the old cog with the 10 tooth part of the washing machine ones. I managed to work out how to put the whole complicated mechanical thing back together. And it ran! But only for a few hours: there's another cog with a dodgy tooth that actually drives the minute drum advance cam and it stopped there. Now it's hunt the cog to make a hybrid up for that.
Probably a good thing I didn't spend the £20 odd quid, then I would have been mad. Not that the oven needs the clock and we've never used the timed switch on function but I thought it would be nice to fix it.

You didn't seriously expect to share with her?

Isn't that something which could be 3D printed? Just a thought.

Some people - don't ask me for advice if you don't even want to listen to it!

If they snore, just wake them up, and say "night night" to them, and give them a peck on the cheek.
That should keep them awake for the rest of the night, with no snoring from them...

Yes could be but it would need to be hand finished as the surface finish isn't good enough for long life.

Not that manager, and I don't think her boyfriend would like it if I slept in the same room as her lol. No this is a male manager, it's an all male crew.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
5 days, early morning silent phonecalls, but sometimes with someone talking "Russian" in the background.
WTF?

Given the very sad occasion it went very well TD as he was given a wonderful send off with his son giving a absolutely lovely speech which summed up his life and everything that entailed and my brother who was as close to him as we were was give the honour of being one of the 6 pallbearers.
