  • People used to use a broom to detect hydrogen fires in (scientific) equipment. The fire normally being hard to see. I'm told that you would wave the broom around the equipment and when it burst into flame you'd found your fire.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Smells

  • 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.
