Has to be the egg. Any major evolutionary change would have to take place at the embryonic stage, not later in life.

[QUOTE 4913872, member: 9609"]yes its no use now, I have replaced them before £33 a go they are expensive. The idea of plugging it into a car battery via a wire is so I can get the drill in a tight space on a job I have to do next week, the cordless will fit without the battery attached. I think it may also come in handy when using the cordless in the garage on repetitive tasks that just flatten the proper batteries (I do have a mains drill but sometimes its good to have two drills on the go, drill in one countersunk bit in the other etc)[/QUOTE]
Could you replace the cells inside the battery?

Won't the drill be rather ungainly with a car battery stuck to the bottom of the handle?

Have you not considered the fact that he is Scottish.

Weight training, bicep curls....??

OK, a very cheap car battery.

I am seeing him as the caretaker on the Simpson's.

Miss Goodbody seems to get through a lot of batteries. Not quite sure how it relates to her pet rabbit though.

That's twice I've read comments like this this week. Am I being dense or doesn't the iron just need to get hot enough to melt the solder and what it's soldering doesn't really matter? That said, I suspect high-street-available solder composition may have changed - I've just bought a new iron because the old one wasn't cutting (melting?) it as easily, but I wanted one with a faster warm-up anyway.

Solder used to be lead/tin alloy, now it's something else with, yes, a higher melting point.

[...] dropped it but rather than let it smash, she deliberately broke its fall with her foot.

Yeah, it becomes a reaction if you're clumsy and drop stuff often. I did that with a chef's knife. I am very very very glad that it was a decent knife with a handle weighted to reduce the chance of kitchen workers making trips to A&E if someone drops a knife... my toe hurt like heck but it could have been so much worse!

Yebbut the 'twang' of a knife landing point-first in your foot would have made an amazing youtube clip.

Actually, just remembered a clumsy catering incident of my own when dropped an "industrially-large" stainless steel pot on my foot. Doh! (Or maybe Dough!)
