I think this is a "socket and see" thread now that JohnV has thrown a spanner in the works.

It'll all come out in the washer. All fine so far, at least nobody has posted anything coarse.

I've heard that MI5 has cornered the market. think that is nuts Quite seriously, there are rumours that following on from all the other recent orchestrated 'shortages' the next one is going to affect supplies of industrial fasteners. I thought that the first indications of it starting were in a local newspaper article I saw the other day. The headline read - "Nut screws washers and bolts" - but on reading it through, it turned out to be a story about an unhinged sex offender who had attacked some women in a launderette and then ran off before the Police arrived.

Reminds me of the old "eats shoots and leaves" problem. Does it refer to an animal or a human being?

Plenty of hardware from the Lithuania bloke who had a kilo of nuts, screws and nails removed from his stomach.

I often find that people are surprised to hear that dairy cows have magnets in them. Cow magnets. It sounds like a joke but it's not. They have strong magnets to collect unwanted ferrous items they may pick up while grazing. Helps to prevent hardware disease which can reduce milk yields.
I'm sure most people on here, being widely experienced and obviously well educated, will know this but I have been surprised by how many people genuinely appear to be unaware of it. It could be that they were ragging me.

It wasn't particularly funny - just "human" and in the spirit of this silly place - hence my "like" and that of so many others.. Good on you, TonyDunkley ..... it didn't hurt TOO very much really, did it, to back down just a bit and accept some of us, idiots that we are?

My 'backing down', as you call it, was simply an appropriate reaction to the nature of the content of posts directed at me, or referring to me. Yesterday, . . for once, . . the material I posted wasn't instantly buried under the usual generous helpings of sanctimonious irrelevancies and offensive claptrap from the self-appointed 'moderators' or the forum's 'approved' trolls.

This could be related to the fact that you put a well constructed joke on the forum. People like this as will be shown in your notifications. It was was really good and we all know you can do a lot more of these so please do. It's a lot more interesting than repetitive references to libel actions or rubbishy (and quite funny) insults against other forum contributors. If you can do this more often you might even be able to take the ',funniest person on the forum' award from JimSurely it can't be all that difficult.
