Sorry @mybike. You are mistaken. I spent 25 years with that kind of stripper (@Fnaar?). They are a faff and a fiddle. You need this Jokari one. I used it on a big production run that we won five years ago. Works every time without adjustment, and strips every time without damaging the copper conductors. Go on, get one. View attachment 150451
Jokari Super 4 Plus. Absolute magic!

Yep, I've tried them. Unless you pay a lot they're unreliable. And mostly you'll be stripping the same size wires again and again. I've probably spent as many years stripping wires as you as well.

Soldering irons? long nosed pliers? wire strippers?

Actually, after extensive testing I have concluded this is best style wire stripper.

I have used many in my time and I agree, they are better than the rest.

Anyway, cyclists, who knew sewing machines were N+1 too !!!! I do... the 'in-house' mess is bigger than bikes though !! Even the 'summer house/shed' has a cutting table !!!!!

What we need is a handlebar-mounted sewing machine operated by pedalling

Now the nights are in I may finish knitting the dog I started months ago.

It was very kind of TVC to share his lurgy with you.

GWS to all who are feeling a bit under the weather at the moment. My dold seems to have disappeared today.

First thing this morning the sky was lovely and clear and it looked like we were going to have a pretty sunrise but it has now clouded over.

I have to go to the R.U.H later on, it is the last day of the drug trial that I have been on.

The annoying thing is, my colleague has smoked for a number of years, she doesn't eat or drink sensibly and she stressess easily due work and family but she is never gets ill! I have never smoked, eat and drink sensibly, no stress and take regular exercise yet this is my second cold this year, how does that work?

You wouldn't believe it if you read all the stuff in the newspaper, but most people are pretty decent.

The moral of the story is to stop reading newspapers.

You randomly breathe in or otherwise ingest a viral particle from someone else, possibly on public transport, and then you are infected. I think that's how it works - by randomness.

Yes I get that but she will also be around folks at work who also have colds yet she seems immune

and if you are talking about yarn or fabric, well a girl can NEVER have enough of that

If I could give you more likes for this I would! It is so very very true.

Think of yourself as a highly tuned machine. The tuning is so fine that one little germ reeks havoc.

The other woman however is held together by tar and tea so nothing can get through that muck.

I have a feeling I am coming down with something too. I have that horrible feeling in my throat and back of my nose....

When I was on a Chest Pains Ward many years ago my wife said to me to have a look around the ward, there are no overweight people here. I have never been overweight, nor smoked and had a physical job. I thought I had chronic indigestion.

Can't argue with that reasoning
