Re: Jokes & Funnies
Here's an infamous video that's both funny and shockingly scary at the same time. Where a car theft suspect is handcuffed, searched and placed in the back of a police car. And then as one of the arresting officers is walking back to his car, an acorn falls on the roof. So quietly it's not picked up ...

Re: Stu
With steel that thick and wide, does it take a lot of force or hammering to get it shaped round the wooden former? I'd also expect a bit of springback.

Re: Forum Slow Running & Hanging
Phew. Thought my new phone was pants. Is it just me, or is Wam also problematic? The WAM has multiple problems due to withdrawal of IT support and an absent / hostile owner. The admins and most of the mods have left there to set up a new forum... https://www.maverick-hifi.com/ With Duvet going over...
