@Reynard, we all know the best sci-fi show on Tv was "Supertrain"

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUERtAe73NI

I believe the idea of an International Poker Championship may have been invented on this show. Like all fine sci-fi, it was cancelled after three months. It was always amazing how many times the police or hit-men were involved in the passage of this train.

Yuh, what ever.

What you need is a takeaway curry.

Possibly a Chilli Masala or a Phaal.

Well, if you see clouds of steam on the horizon, then that'll be me.

That's three things.

I say clean your static bike, then clean & dust up afterwards.

It's not often that I post "proud dad" stuff (like, never before) but younger PTP-ette. who is a bit of a luvvy musical theatre chap-ess, got her first lead role yesterday in next year's school production and will be singing the title song (Beauty and the Beast), closely followed by her second main role in a review of The Greatest Showman (This is Me) and then an invite to audition for a role in a production in Edinburgh in November. She's hyper. She's worked so hard over the past few years and it's now paying off.

Does anyone know if automatic transmission fluid and power steering fluid are the same? There might be an explosion coming up!!

I think a lot of them are listed as power steering /automatic fluid. Which one is suited to your vehicle may be different.

And @Gravity Aided don't panic! I should have mentioned, it was never going into a vehicle. I was trying to make the ultimate penetrating fluid. My most recent stove purchase (1927 Primus No 97) has a leaking non return valve that I am really struggling to get out. Plus Gas has been defeated and after some research discovered a 50/50 mix of acetone and auto transmission fluid when mixed into an immulsion is the last word in penetrating fluids.
I only wanted a tiny amount and not the litre on offer. Power steering fluid was from what I could tell at least almost the same and available in a smaller bottle!
I filled the pump tube with the mix I made and I'm sure some of it has disappeared!

 

[slowmotion]

None of them worked....

a hot bath
ski socks
lots of gin
a Tesco lasagna
a quilted lumberjack fleece
a big coal fire

….a brief dip in the icy waters of Restronguet Creek has frozen my feet for the last three hours.

Where'd you get the MOTD, and what was wrong with a cuppa and a biscuit or two?
