Repaired a mates computer that a professional PC Clinic had given up on and were telling him they were going to erase all the drives and start over. It took me just under an hour to get it running perfectly. I repaired a laptop last month; not bad for someone with no IT or computer training.

You can't leave your money in the bank and find a way of enjoying the receipt you're given (could frame it instead of the wife I suppose), but the alternative is enjoyment, your money returned when you sell it, a profit if you keep it longer, no capital gains tax and the bright ones amongst you know this already and its why I can't find any stock!
Don't happen to know the numbers for this Saturday do you

Building a hydragas pump along the lines of
this one!
I got the correct schrader 556 connector from an aerospace supplier at half the price liquid levers are asking on fleabay.Handy hint....look for a 'strut coupler' well away from ebayland, ad don't usethe words 'hydragas' or 'hydrolastic' because you will always end up being led towards liquid levers and their somewhat inflated prices.
I've been watching the bay for a while for a pump and although the old Churchill dalek pumps come up regularly they're always at the wrong end of the country and collection only
Liquid levers want a ridiculous amount of money for a new one so I've gone the grease gun route. The days when every garage had a pump and would top you up for a few quid are long gone, it's £35-ish a go now so it makes sense to get your own pump sorted.
With a bit of home engineering and a root through the tap'n'die box I've attached the 556 coupler to a grease gun hose and am almost ready to go...................unfortunately it didn't work because my grease gun is so ancient it leaks like a sieve,it's ok still with grease but a bit past it for fluids, and back pressure from the system on Miss Rusty's Metro pushed the fluid back into the gun. Plenty of MGF folk have shown It'll work with a decent grease gun though so I just need to buy one now.
