We have agreed with our friends at the Ace Cafe to have two meets in 2011.

We have tried to take everyone time in to account with booking these date's.

To kick off the season we will be attending the Ace Cafe on the 10/04/2011
This is a evening Sunday slot from 6 pm through to 10:30 pm...

The close of our season will see the second event at the Ace Cafe on a Saturday 29/10/2011 this will be at the normal time of 10am to 4pm.

We have arranged these two dates to try and look after all our members that really enjoy this meets.

We of course welcome new and old members and look forward to a great turn out as always.

We require number plates to be forwarded nearer to the time to be sent to a member of the admin team.
This is a requirement of the Ace Cafe so please can you all do this...

Windows Phone 7

Popped into an O2 store over lunch to see whether they had it in yet and they did so had a play! They've only got the HTC HD7 (which is probably the one of the best) and it did not disappoint.

Hardware-wise it looks very similar to a Desire HD or the EVO4G in the US which is no bad thing as it looks great. Quite a bit heavier than my Galaxy S which was expected as the SGS is stupidly light, and the LCD screen is nowhere near as bright or vibrant as the S-AMOLED on the SGS (also expected).

It was only a brief play as there's only so much you can do with a demo handset with no SIM in it and not hooked up to any accounts, but first impressions are very good. The UI is very attractive, and feels great. Scrolling on screen is smooth and judder free, and there isn't really any lag when you ask it to do something.

One of my concerns was whether it would integrate well with Google as android does, and although I'm still not sure it looks promising as when you enter email or contacts it has an option to add a google account so I'm hoping that will mean a proper sync like with android.

The home page tiles are great, only thing that didn't feel quite right is that it looks a bit unfinished. The way the tiles sit to the left of the screen, and the little arrow on the right to open the menu don't look quite right (although that could just be me) - I think moving everything into the centre might have made enough of a difference.

Overall though I'd like to have one, when my upgrade comes around in a few months think I'll definitely consider it :biggrin:

Had a nice fluffy gift arrive yesterday for renewing my membership, just wanted to say thanks as it wasn't expected and much appreciated (especially as I was thinking about buying one next year when the weather gets warmer again!)

Tools Explained

by toxo, 29-09-2018, 07:08 AM

Shamelessly stolen from another forum...


DRILL PRESS:
A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.

WIRE WHEEL:
Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, "Oh, xxxx!"

SKILL SAW:
A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.

PLIERS:
Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.

BELT SANDER:
An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.

HACKSAW:
One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.

VISE-GRIPS:
Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.

OXYACETYLENE TORCH:
Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race..

TABLE SAW:
A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.

HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK:
Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper.

BAND SAW:
A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.

TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST:
A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect.

PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER:
Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but , can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.

STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER:
A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms.

PRY BAR:
A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.

HOSE CUTTER:
A tool used to make hoses too short.

HAMMER:
Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.

UTILITY KNIFE:
Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.

Son of a b*tch TOOL:
Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling "Son of a b1tch" at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.
