Drill / tap / screw was an early thought - would be a nice fix but more effort to borrow taps & then not fuck it up, the chance of this being really quite high

Actually yeah, I probably could dismantle the other side & swap the handles around - I might investigate that if the epoxy approach fails, primarily as I don't know where my circlip pliers are but the epoxy is in "the drawer"

It is indeed only fucked on one side - that's the side we pull the back door closed so the exterior handle is rarely even touched.

Whilst I do admire the more elegant engineering solutions suggested, I think I shall indeed epoxy the bastard - if that fails I'll investigate welding the bastard

What's the easiest fix for this door handle?

I'd replace the whole unit but I can't find anything with the exact same dimensions & I don't want any headaches with fitment - there's no grub screw etc. to hold the handle onto the spindle so over time a little brass collar on the inside has worn away & pulled through, so the circlip has nothing to brace against - any way to secure the inside of the handle with a little clamp or similar or do I just epoxy the bastard to the spindle?

BBC has some footage - apparently ~£50m worth of boat

Log scale innit

How will this work - does he have 83m, will there be more begging emails doing the rounds or is there an appeal process that will kick this down the line for years to come?

grand - ta!

What's the general sizing like on the 5 Tens - do I need to go up half/full size like many other brands?

That'll do it

Must be stable - that link weighs at least 5kilos

Finding it hard to see past these for £35 - seems decent enough & I don't need guages to tell me how bad they are! i'd love a big spangly one but it would be wasted on me

Edit Although if that one ^ maxes out at 130mm then it's a bit less of an option... the spangly aliexpress ones can be had without all the guages but it only saves £10 or so...

I could resurrect the one I built out of old clamp stands & assorted bits salvaged from an old teaching lab but it's a bit of an "installation" & I think I had to borrow a few bits off it...

I just came on to see if anyone had experience with these too! I know what you mean about the plastic ends on the second one - the cheaper one might actually be more solid in use as it seems you need to adjust & clamp into place for different widths.

The other one I've been looking at is this from AliExpress - good reviews but £100-120

On the protein front I've had a couple of random bags of the sci-mx(?) stuff from home bargains recently which mixed up well & the chocolate flavour was pretty decent, ~£14 / 900g and it's 78g protein per 100g

One thing I noticed about creatine was increased cramping after exercising - might just be me but i'm sure it's a thing, not sure how that works though...

I managed to get PBs on my bench (85Kg 3x5) and squats (120kg 3x5) in the last week before Christmas, was well chuffed & actually looking forward to getting back into the gym after the break...

...that was until our wee one systematically took everyone out with some mystery bastard-flu she acquired from school in the last week of term, testing neg for covid but fuck me it feels like it - I came into work today to start a few things early - this involved cycling 3 miles & i've honestly felt fresher after a ton!

One step forward...

Baseball card vandals 🤣 some of those are tremendous

He's talking about the core values of the labour party there

Wonder if his goose fat roasted chicken looks like a clopper too? 🤔

Yeah - I tend to agree, I wouldn't buy them but I'll eat a couple... FOR SCIENCE!

Disappointed in the offering from Kember & Jones in Glasgow today - was looking forward to it as well...

Nicely presented, good pastry with a pleasant frangipane lid but the filling was watery sultanas & sadness - no detectable citrussy tang, syrupy goodness or booze... could have had 3 of Gregg's finest for the same price too, would not mince again

Hah, that's pretty funny - dunno how accurate the animal measurements are - it's telling me I can bench a goddamn bear 😅

(I'll take it)

M&S all butter puff pastry mincers just arrived in the office - only one in so far but good first impressions, filling maybe a touch dry due to the abundance of flaky pastry (excellent layering there) - would be best served warm I reckon.

Those are banging alright! I had a few pairs of those 20-odd years ago - always thought the colour combos were cracking.

I even like the retina straining Supreme ones from a few years back

Jesus man - leave some plates for the rest of us!
