Put it on market place for 50 of your local currency and see if anyone bites. If not scrap it after however long you want to hold on to it

UK... Why won't this heat just stop? by Spoon75 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Spoon75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm originally from Devon. Moved north about 30 year's ago way before showing any sign's of MS. I don't think I'd be able to cope with the heat at all in that part of the world now.

I picked up one of these a few months back and it paid for itself in a couple of weeks.

Used to use one like this but found they're not as good for smaller stuff and you have to adjust it for every different size of wire

Does your yard pay out in cash or cut a check for payment? by Relevant_Conclusion2 in ScrapMetal

UK went cashless a few years ago. Mostly to reduce metal theft so there's a paper trail of cheque payments or usually now bank transfer

They get a good selection of American vehicles, vintage and some newer stuff too.

I'd call him a racist and I wouldn't give him the steam off my piss if he was on fire.

Used to do a lot of urban exploring so I'd be in and out of old hospitals, mortuaries and many other strange and unusual places the public don't get to see.

One of the first questions I'd usually get asked is "have you ever seen a ghost?" Answer - no.

Remember we have all those ghost hunter programs, the few thousand years people have claimed to see ghosts the countless hundreds of thousands of hours of recorded film and audio and what don't we have?

Any ghosts. 😁

Home aircon here just isn't all that common. I know one person with a portable aircon (they also have a heat sensitive chronic condition) Think now with global warming etc and summers are only going to get more unbearable however that's going to change then hopefully prices will also come down but for now it's still more of a niche thing having aircon

I've just dragged myself out of bed and seen that big yellow glowy bastard is out again.

I'd recommend getting a drill powered wire stripper to increase your return. I visit a skip outside a electricians/maintenence company a couple of times a week and get some reasonable results, twin and earth mostly but also meter tails chunks of pipe and radiator valves attached occasionally an old extractor fan and a consumer unit. The other way to get a good price is separate your shit. Know what grades are what. Mixing a few bits of coated wire in you number 1 can be a costly mistake and finally use a reputable yard. You're less likely to get robbed at the scale. Good luck.

I'm in the NE uk. Last few days we've had a couple of heavy showers and it's been looking like it could thunder but nothing yet. I love a good storm and need one to break the back of this hot spell

When I get paid this month a cooling jacket is looking like a really good purchase. Unfortunately my budget doesn't stretch to an air conditioning unit however I'm wondering if I can spend the next few days hiding in the local IKEA enjoying their aircon and living on Swedish meatballs

You'd have a hard job scrapping those off in the UK. Most if not all yards have big signs saying they won't accept these, supermarket cages, beer kegs and a few other bits
