Hang on a minute… these sort of questions sound a bit familiar

Nice one Steven.

Thank you Steven, put a smile on my face!

Yes Mike, you do need a lantern tool post at night – but don't forget you will also need a matching lantern chuck

My drill won't fit into my chuck, the battery and motor stick out too far – what am I doing wrong?

Hot rolled steel is used to keep the workshop warm

Free machining steel comes with free electricity vouchers.

Nice to get a new angle on these things, but how much is true ?

I think some of it is a bit rough, but maybe thats the drill.

Apparently the customs papers for a chap importing hydraulic rams into Zimbabwe were maked "Livestock"

This can be turned to advantage. When Dad was in senior management in Portsmouth Dockyard during the 1960s, the medical centre applied to buy an electro-cardiograph machine, a very expensive thing in those days. It was turned down by the finance department.

On being told of this, Dad said to the chief medic (who came under his aegis ) "Hmm… So in effect you are measuring the hardness of men's hearts?" and got the reply " Well, yes, in a way that's true." "Leave it with me," said Dad, and resubmitted the order under the engineering budget as a hardness tester. It went through without question.
