The forum just doesn’t seem the same, I always looked forward to Ben’s remarks and eccentricities. Bring back the chipper or can some one in wozzie post a photo or 20. May be we could start a save the chipper fund . can someone send me his address.
Some thing is wrong, it is like Decker and black, chips and fish, the world has gone crazy, brittney has’nt gone to rehab for a year, Amy Winehouse has quoted she is ugly. what is wrong. no chipper thats what.
Ben’s proper skint and starving! He is still communicating with the wider world by non-internet wankery though. Must post that letter tomorrow (with a packet of chocolate hob-nobs in it).
Just sent chips a letter this morning. I picked up a trick from one of his old posts that I tried out last night.
I used the plastic tube that denture tablets came in with teeth cut in the end to bore the hole through the foam to the deck during a fcs install. Up to now I just used a thin screw driver as I’m too cheap to folk out for the official kit I put together my own home made version.
I improved it slightly by using spray adhesive to stick a small piece of 60 grit round the over end to tidy up the inside of the hole. Even on the other side of the world the tubes here are exactly the same diameter as the plugs and with the sand paper ever so slightly smaller to allow it to just fit the hole, the glass stops you sanding too far giving a perfect hole no worries.
I have to say they turned out great, really neat. Cheap, simple and so easy to use – my world not what was written on the tube – anyway I have no idea how many tubes chips searched through to find one the right size or even if chips’ teeth are real but for less than 50p it’s a bargain.
panadus, I think thats a great idea! i miss ben around here sharin with us his wealth of knowledge. I have his address somewhere so I’ll pm it to you or post it up on here
