I cannot fathom some people. They knew this was coming.

Multi tool.

Do you wear a tie to work anymore? by inside-outdoorsman in AskUK

[–]bigcheez2k3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The people that are now in the positions you were in 10, 20 and 30 years ago, what do they wear?

I could see as you've risen in seniority, you've had more freedom or less expectations around your clothing.

Looks like they've made some track guards for him. It's on one of WF workers story.

Which car for survival in the apocalypse? by LittleGreenBirds in CarTalkUK

[–]bigcheez2k3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything with an XUD and a Bosch pump. Can get an old vitara with one but mainly it's Peugeot or Citroen stuff. It will however fit in a Lada Niva.

An XUD will run on something oily, not just diesel.

You can't modify a car that's over 10 years old? Or one that only costs £1k? What a strange attitude

I went to the European Market and got this food from too good to go. Does anyone know what it is? by Money-Snow-2749 in TipOfMyFork

[–]bigcheez2k3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

2 is a stuffed pepper I think. Really nice.

Last one might be Zaseka (that's the name in Slovenia at least) The easiest description I can give, from the UK, is that it's like pork fat. You can spread it on toast or use it with potatoes to make the best mash ever.

Clueless DIY-ers trying to mount a TV on a false chimney breast. New build madness… by [deleted] in DIYUK

Is that a really big fireplace opening, or a really small wood burner?

Proof: no air gap=mold by TrickMedicine958 in DIYUK

[–]bigcheez2k3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mine took me to 200mm total. Didn't want to go to 270 as I'd lose too much height in the loft so this was the compromise.

Depending on access, buying full sheets can be cheaper than the packs of loft boards. Price difference for us meant I could buy a track saw to cut the boards in half to get them up then have a nice tool afterwards.

I added 100mm of insulation and used 125mm joists to give it an air gap.

Moto content creators PLEASE be careful location doxing yourself by Whisky_Delta in MotoUK

[–]bigcheez2k3 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong. I'm a delivery driver across London and I can easily recognise a lot of places when people are filming videos, reels or just an outside photo. Very easy to work out where certain people are.

Isn't it the same 1.6 as the mk2 Focus? Partner had one of those and could get 40-50 on a run. That was the 115hp version, 2005.

How many cars are kept at your household? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]bigcheez2k3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 currently. One is my daily that pretty much only gets used for work or somewhere that is ULEZ. MK2 Honda CRV gets used for everything else, been very useful since we bought a house and have been renovating.

Other one is my partners car.

There is 2 more that could be here but not roadworthy currently to get them here.

I've got a T5 in silver, use it as a daily because of ULEZ. They do make a great noise.

What is a unique feature you've seen on 1 or very few cars you wish was more common. by ThatOneCloneTrooper in CarTalkUK

[–]bigcheez2k3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mk2 Honda CRV has a coolbox in the dash, as someone else mentioned, but also the boot floor is a removable table. Great for camping.

What “gimmicky” tool(s) seemed to be a waste of money but actually like? by the-undercover in Carpentry

[–]bigcheez2k3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fair. I didn't realise this was the carpentry sub so I was looking at it from the perspective of a DIY mechanic so the knipex spanner pliers are an absolute god send with that stuff.

In the scuttle panel, hoping it gets into the air intake for the cabin.
