Probably not an easy repair. Could you use a thin shim to keep the springs and driver pins in the body, with the key pins in the bible? May need to have the bible at the right angle and most of the way pushed home. If the springs aren’t too strong, it may just work. - doubt you can break it much more.

Alternatively, drill out the plugs in the body and tap the holes for grub screws, then you can repin it easily.

Well they’ve lost me as a user. Shame as I really liked it.

Would be a terrible shame if the aircon was to fail.

Toodledoo worked very well for me. Even had annual reminders for car tax & insurance etc.

Maybe they could try being less shit on the stuff that really matters then. Just a thought.

I’m sure this would be very much appreciated, but on the grand scheme of things, shouldn’t our government have far more pressing things to concern itself with right now?

I hate to say it but maybe Kier should learn from the headlights and try dazzling us with his performance.

Yeah, I don’t understand why we keep pushing for foreign investment, it’s a bit of free cash today for us to be thoroughly shafted every day thereafter.

well I do understand, the piggies need their noses in the trough.

Looking at the streaks around el28, could the large blue electrolytic have failed?

How does Aukus, the UK, US, Australia submarine deal work then? This politics stuff is confusing!

I’m genuinely in two minds in this one.

I’m currently middle aged and have a driving licence. In 20 years or so I probably won’t, so will have no formal ID. - That’s worrying if I need to present ID to receive services, therefore some official form of ID is a good thing. By that age I’ll probably want to ditch the smart phone for a simpler model and a simpler life (the eyes are going already) so will want a physical ID card, not something on my phone.

I am not sure how I’ll be able to live in older age in a digitalised society, but that’s for another rant.

Would I like an ID card that had all my medical record on it? Yes, I think that could be useful given the sometimes lack of communication been hospitals and GPs. It’s therefore a useful vehicle for good things if they were to be added.

Do I expect that it’ll be used intrusively at every possible opportunity? Youbetcha. Corporations will in due course find ways to profile with it, as they do with loyalty schemes and credit cards. State intrusion both local and foreign will also probably happen such as 5 eyes data sharing.

Do I trust that the government could actually pull this off? They can’t build a few miles of fast railway. This will cost billions, result in many brown envelopes and take ages. I certainly worry about the cyber security of such a system if it happens. Whatever happens it must be a wholly UK project.

Will it stop migrants? No. Will it stop the shadow workforce? No. I don’t believe it will do any of these.

I’ll say it. There are far worse regimes out there, but I do not trust my government. I do not believe they work for my best interests nor those of much of society. I therefore deeply suspect the motives of this scheme and don’t believe it’ll solve the problems they say it will.

They don’t want to sting you.

Pick the fruit up in the earlyish morning when it’s cool. Do it carefully so you’re not squashing any wasps that are about and you should be fine.

Move slowly and don’t ‘flap’.

Unless you have health problems a couple of stings are painful, but not that bad.

Not long ago I had a Queen wasp fall into my T-shirt resulting in five stings on my back. I dosed up on antihistamines and was OK in an hour or so. - yes, the wasp was captured and safely released.

I’m guessing that you’re in the US and have strange rules about eliminating nature from your gardens… I’d just leave them to it. Wasps actually do a really important job and most of the time they just go about their own business. This time of year is hard for them as their preferred food has gone so they seek sugar, any sugar to survive, but the windfalls won’t last forever and then the wasps themselves will also be gone until the spring.

The only time I’d deal with wasps is if there was a nest either in my house or shed, or by a door that I need to use. They’re fascinating creatures when you get a chance to watch them.

Enjoy the nature, there’s not much of it around nowadays.

The smell of people in general. Not sweat as such, just that ‘human’ aroma. - hate it. Public transport is awful. Funnily enough, I can’t differentiate between people, they all smell the same.

It’s a very large glitch in the matrix

And that’s the point, a password vault is literally all your eggs in one basket. It only gives security if you are secure across the board.

Size: height depth width… Can be easy to miss one dimension. Energy rating - obvious reasons Noise depending on the room it’s in Ergonomics - can you reach all the bits you need to… Imagine filling it with your weekly shop. - better energy rating=more insulation=less space. Doors can generally be reversed, but check. Some FFs have two compressor circuits, others only one. Can be important if keeping it in a garage. Do you need a water cooler/ice maker thing? More to clean, more to go wrong. YOUR FRIDGE DOES NOT NEED AN INTERNET CONNECTION Nor does it need funky windows & stuff Self defrost is a must. We spent ages discussing colour, now you can barely see it behind pictures & papers etc.

Think " is this a useful feature for me, or is it marketing fluff? "

Finally, while a fridge should be a long term purchase, is just a box that gets cold. Don’t lose sleep over it.
