Ping the Berkshire & Hampshire dwellers - Sunday lunch.

I've got a couple of books to get to TOG, & a laptop to get to Zymurgy,
which seems like an excellent excuse to partake of the rather good food
at the pub in Chieveley again. So I'm meeting TOG there next Sunday
(15th) for lunch - everyone else welcome (especially Zymurgy or one of
his neighbours).

 

What a marvellous idea.[1]



[1] Subject to P not actually getting round to organising some kind of
"do" with her family on that day. And decent weather.

 

First come first served shurely?

Poof.

 

Yeah, but she sort of got there first.

She mentioned doing something the other day and it will depend on her
a) actually contacing all relevant members of the family and b) they
being able to make it on the 15th only.

*flounces off*

 

Heh.

 

Might be a good idea to name the pub and its rough location.

Might come on the BMW and see if my repaired wiring is up to the
strain..... On that topic, self-amalgamating tape is just the utter
bollocks. Wonderful stuff. better than gaffa tape and cable ties, I
reckon.

<cocks eye towards Pip>

 

Unless it's changed in recent times it's not UV proof. SOP when
installing microwave units was to seal with self-amalgamating then
overwrap with insulating tape to keep the UV off.

You can get UV resistant self-amalgamating tape - commonly used by aerial
engineers to protect F connectors from water ingress so it should be good
enough behind the side cover of his bike.

 

This was mid '90s so things have moved on. Personally to be sure I
reckon TOG should use denso.

 

I'd love to see him deal with a roll of denso tape and the mess it made
of his gloves.

 

I agree entirely. Lidl did self-amalgamating tape a few weeks ago for a
pahnd a roll. I bought one, tried it, went back and cleared them out.
Works really well: stretches a looong way without snapping, isn't
sticky, forms into a good solid lump at the end with a squeeze.

Saves cable ties, so that's an even better thing.

 

I have an image of a washing line now. Dozens of saved and recycled lengths
of tape flapping like Tibetan prayer flags

 

Not me, i'm afeared. I shall be with the old ball and chain in NI.

I can do any weekday evening tho.

Cheers,
Paul.

 

I might pop over, depending on the weather, my sobriety after Eurovision
the night before [1], and who else turns up.

[1] Anyone following me on twitter or friends on Facebook may want to
apply appropriate filters before the first semi-final on Tuesday.

 

Do you want me to hang onto the laptop for another time then, or try to
palm it off on someone closer to you?

 

You *could* always say "You're not my fucking mother and I'll go if I want
to". Then you could stop dreaming or reduce the pain killers

 

I parsed that as "First come first shaved"

Indeed.

 

Sounds like a bloke I knew a few years ago. He never binned a fucking thing.
From shagged out chains and sprox to worn out tyres and even mullered bits
of sandpaper. Nothing went in the bin because "It/they might come in useful
as spares".

Spares for what, I can't imagine, but when he died, it took a week to empty
his shed of useless junk.

 

Did I read that correctly? Eurovision"?
