Thanks Vic, thats all the info required. Last 10 Ashes series: Australia 8. England 2. Explains the excitement. Well done chaps.

[Collector Inspector]

Bloody Brits have all the answers to hard questions...........

Well done but!

[timberman2004]

well done Vic....thanks mate, that'll learn them for sure

for my part I'm shovelling virtual salt down the wire ....(you need a very small shovel )
but if you hold the wire vertical it'll trickle down to Oz and cook their keyboards ...Huh !!!

you may have noticed though, they go all gooey eyed over the merest mention of castor oil
you can just imagine the dreadful childhoods they must have had ...poor little sausages

castor oil in the bike ..in the car ..in the outboard...and as a main ingredient for breakfast
Yup, they're nothing if not ..um...regular

Castrol another Great British company

If you've ever worked on an engine that was run on castor, you will realise that it works as a laxitive without any form of ingestion.

Any motor not cleaned after castor use looks like someone poured varnish into it, gummed pistons,rings & bearings, a bloody nightmare to remove!

I admit there's a hypnotic smell to it if your over 50, but I think you'll find that modern high performance synthetics exceed castor's lubrication abilities in just about every area, except as an hit man's weapon of choice.

It seemed that in the 50's 60's & 70's alchol fueled motors it was one of a very small group of lubricants, soluble in their fuel.

Another brilliant thread!

makes a change for England to come up trumps!

I was visiting an old friend of mine a while back, who is an ardent cricket fan. I happened to mention that my sister in law, an ardent golf fan, had spent the whole of the previous weekend in front of the telly, watching some golf tournament.
"Ah, I love it when golf is on telly", says my pal
"I thought you hated golf", says I.
" I do", he said, "but doesn't it make cricket on TV look exciting!"

Got youtube sussed now



No stopping me now

Caster still smells "Good"

Also, made an engine "As One" as previous due to maintenance etc.
