What aircraft??? Nice one, six actually. Cheers Johnkaz.

At least it prompted a christmastide debate. Maybe I should start again being inebriated, hammered, pished, smashed, wellied, drunk, well it is Friday goodnight. Cheers Johnkaz.

I have a quad watch winder similar to this link,Watch winders I have had this for 3 years it has got progressively louder of late and as it lives in our bedroom causes some problem. It's similar to a tractor starting and ticking over. My wife has suggested on a few occasions to replace with a new one, but I have better ideas. Time to take it apart a fairly daunting prospect as there are no screws visible, the way in is to take out the watches and pull the bit they sit in carefully out it is glued in, from the top this is a circular leatherette, when you eventually peel this off this is cheap cardboard typical of Chinese ingenuity, it is now possible to pull the whole of each of the motorized bits out they usually have a faux wood surround and this is lightly glued in. After lifting out there is a motor and gearbox fixed to a small circuit board by longish wires giving some room to manouvre. The whole of the plastic cup that turns is fixed to the gearbox by one bolt. Undo this. The gearbox is fixed on the back by 4 screws with fibre washers, undo these. The electric motor is fixed to the gears by 2 bolts, again undo. The gearbox itself is about the size and shape of a large Panerai. The next bit was to find out what was causing all the noise, I ran the electric motors, no problem there. A look at the gearbox when I turned the spline which the cup fixes onto it was quite tight to turn, the gear cogs themselves are all meshed together in a sealed casing with various holes on both sides, they had been covered in a dirty looking quite thick black grease although they appeared to be nylon cogs. Down into the workshop a liberal application of WD40 (thank god for this wonderous substance) a bit of twiddling and soaking and they are easy to turn. I dried all the excess WD40 reassembled the whole thing and I have a fairly quiet watch winder at a fraction of the cost. I also insulated the hidden bit of the box where the motors are. I hope this is of use to somebody. Cheers Johnkaz

A big boy did it and ran away!! Excellent so long as it's somebody elses home. Cheers Johnkaz.

Try it it works Cheers Johnkaz.

That is without doubt the funniest (scariest) thing I have seen all year. Do you think my wife will like her chainsaw!!! Cheers Johnkaz.

Here is one I borrowed from elsewhere it may in part apply to none Brits but there are some strange traits. Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV. And the most British thing of all?...Suspicion of all things foreign! Only in Britain can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance. Only in Britain do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front. Only in Britain do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke. Only in Britain do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters. Only in Britain do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage. Only in Britain do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place. Only in Britain are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink. NOT TO MENTION.. 3 Brits die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue. 142 Brits were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts. 58 Brits are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers. 31 Brits have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in. 19 Brits have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas decorations were chocolate. British Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after Xmas cracker-pulling accidents. 18 Brits had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth. A massive 543 Brits were admitted to A&E in the last two years after trying to open bottles of beer with their teeth. 5 Brits were injured last year in accidents involving out-of-control Scalextric cars. and finally... In 2000 eight Brits were admitted to hospital with fractured skulls incurred whilst throwing up into the toilet Cheers Johnkaz. :laugh:

I found this, not my own work but amusing. The Redneck Night Before Christmas 'Twas the night before Christmas And all through the trailer Not a creature was stirrin' 'Cept a redneck named Taylor. His first name was Bubba, Joe was his middle, And a-runnin' down his chin was a trickle of spittle. His socks, they were hung by the chimney with care, And therefore there was a foul stench in the air. That Bubba got scared and rousted the boys. There was Rufus, 12; Jim Bob was 11; Dud goin' on 10; Otis was 7. John, George and Chucky Were 5,4, and 3: The twins were both girls So they let them be. They jumped in their overalls, No need for a shirt, Threw a hat on each head, Then turned with a jerk. They ran to the gun rack That hung on the wall. There were 17 shotguns; They grabbed them all. Bubba said to the young'uns, "Now hesh up ya'll! The last thing we wanna do Is wake up yer Maw." Maw was expecting And needed her sleep, So out they crept out the door Without making a peep. They all looked around, and then they all spit. The young'uns asked Bubba, "Paw, what is it?" Bubba just stared; He could not say a word. This was just like all of The stories he'd heard. It was Santy Claus on the roof, Darn tootin' But the boys didn't know; They was about to start shootin'! They aimed their shotguns and nearly made a mistake That would have resulted in venison steak. Bubba hollered out, "Don't shoot, boys!" That's Santy Claus And he's brought us some toys. The dogs were a-barkin' And a-raisin' cain, And Bubba whistled, and shouted, And called them by name. "Down, Spot! Shut up Bullet! Quiet, Pete and Roscoe! Git, Turnip and Tater and Sam and Bosco!" "Git down from that porch! Git down off that wall! Quit shakin the trailer, Or you'll make Santy fall!" The dogs kept a-barkin' And wouldn't shut up, And they trampled poor Pete Who was only a pup. Santy opened his bag, And threw out some toys. Bubba got most, But left a few for the boys. Since the guns had been dropped He just might not die. He jumped in his sleigh, Told his reindeer to hurry. The trailer started to wobble Santa started to worry. Just as the reindeer Got into the air, The trailer collapsed, But Bubba didn't care. He was busy lookin' At all his new toys. Then a thought hit him, And he said to the boys: "Go check on yer Maw, Make sure she's all right. That roof fallin' on her Could-a hurt just a might." But Maw was OK, And the girls were too. They fixed up the trailer; It looked good as new. And as for Bubba, He liked Old St. Nick, But Santa thought Bubba Was a pure-in-tee hick! Bubba had a nice Christmas, And the boys did, too. And the Taylors wish A Merry Christmas to you! Cheers Johnkaz.

It would take superhuman effort to obtain the raw materials to construct such a wonderous folly. Cheers Johnkaz.

I see we have developments, there has been protesting in the streets, by the nice religious people who consider the sentence too lenient. Some are even calling for her to be beheaded. This is a far more apt sentence for such a disturbing crime. Worse is to come, apparently the Teddy Bears are planning a huge riot. An interesting question, do any religions have a bear as a symbol? Hindus maybe. Cheers Johnkaz

After a long retirement I can now confirm he has taken up professional heavyweight boxing aged 61. What a guy!!! Cheers Johnkaz.

How can it be justified to send a teacher to jail followed by expulsion from a country for calling a Teddy bear Mohamed. Such anally retentive crap, I am no lover of any religions, and consider they are a major cause of trouble and distress. But this is utter crap. Does anybody out there think this is just. We are back to the monkey trials. British teacher Gillian Gibbons has been found guilty of inciting hatred after she let her Sudan school pupils name a teddy bear Muhammad. The 54-year-old mother of two from Liverpool escaped a possible sentence of 40 lashes but was given 15 days in jail and ordered to be deported by the court in Khartoum. Mrs Gibbons was arrested on Sunday after complaints to the Education Ministry that she had insulted the Prophet Muhammad, the most revered figure in Islam, by applying his name to a toy animal Cheers Johnkaz.

Sorry guys first attempt at you tube link failed. If you can add it please do. Cheers Johnkaz.

Is it just me, but I keep thinking Corum Admirals Cup. I know they are very different but the colours, and general appearance give me that thought. Bit of plagiarism by the mighty Rolex, surely not. When will the rep appear Feb 2008 is my guess. Cheers Johnkaz

A grizzly bear that likes to eat pussy, has always got to be a good story. Cheers Johnkaz.

It made me laugh Ken. Cheers Johnkaz.

It's got tamer since last I heard it, good joke though. Cheers Johnkaz.

Firstly, this is humour, and this is no laughing matter for watch fetishists. Yes the AD is the place to go for a test drive of a new model for 24 hours, no problemo. Cheers Johnkaz.

Brave to belittle microsoft. And Funny. Cheers Johnkaz.

I for one don't think the dealers are trying to rip us off. They need to make a profit to survive, there are issues with customs that most of our dealers stand straight on. What most of the dealers we have here are doing is adding value, which is simple marketing. Go and buy a new car you want Basic, Deluxe, Super, Sports, all the same thing different specification it's your choice. Several of the dealers here offer good value inexpensive reps Neil and Reg for example, often list products at
