Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Tried that internet stuff Spitty, it’s no use, in fact it’s A-poxy glue.
I was always interested in glue, there are so many glues out there now for many different purposes (there’s that word again Gummy, sticking around ain’t they) but I have yet to find a glue to beat Araldite epoxy resin for a lasting strong bond. Remember this?
"In 1983 a visual stunt presentation was set up to show the strength of Araldite by gluing a yellow Ford Cortina to a billboard on Cromwell Road, London, with the tagline "It also sticks handles to teapots". Later, to demonstrate more of its strength, a red Cortina was placed on top of the yellow Cortina, with the tagline "The tension mounts". Finally, the car was removed from the billboard, leaving a hole on the billboard and a tagline "How did we pull it off?"
Anyway I'm off to the local now to glue meself to the bar.

I have a tiny annoying gripe to grip with today.
Holes in plastic bags. Alright I agree they were necessary to prevent children suffocating when they first came out to replace paper bags, but now even the tiniest bags have holes in them. I get stuff from China in the post regularly and today for example I got a special glue that will conduct electricity, you know when you join two wires together and the wires are so fine and delicate that they break easily when trying to solder them with lead solder, well this glue makes a great bond and no soldering is needed. The tiny tube of glue was in a plastic bag and there were holes in the bag, what the hell for? I was going to use the bag to keep the glue airtight to provent it hardening up, instead I had to use a resealable bag I had. My point is simple, who or what is going to try to get it’s head into a two by two inch plastic bag?, you couldn’t smother a fly in one for Gods sake, it’s like everything else about health and safety, they go way overboard with everything.
oh shut up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
The thing about the bag Jem-it's not to stop insects etc getting in,it's to stop/contain any fumes that may seep out. Seems silly,yes-but to a sniffer dog at an airport,those fumes may seem very much akin to 'bud',when it's crushed and dried. When I was in uniform,I once had to hold a really deep shrapnel wound on my oppo closed while the medic sealed it with superglue,ready to heli him out.That one occasion was enough. From that day to this,I can't stand the stuff.
But that ain't what I popped in to talk about.
On Sunday,I spent the afternoon in a recording studio,playing guitar as overtrack for a play the BBC are putting out in September. [no,I have no idea of the date] To my COMPLETE surpise,Ray Davis was there. Unknown to me,he'd written the music I was playing. Wow-unexpected,or WHAT! Talking music with such a legendary icon was a genuine treat...I can die happy...
Gotta say,he is a really nice,decent,polite bloke. Respec'!
