Any question answered...

No, I couldn't find anything more, they show only this, anything more is behind a paywall.

Found it, Paul Hammond is the photographer, that photo is in his PR section.

What I can see is that he's a gymnast.

Good luck in finding him Ronnie ❤️

Plot twist user Ronnie moonlights as a collector for a loan shark.

Is selling something on FB Marketplace and posting it just a really stupid thing to do?

I have a prop replica sword I’m trying to shift so eBay is no good, they just remove the listing as a weapon.

Haha, nothing so exciting. He's in a childhood photo, just no idea who he was.

good job. The URL for the photo is interesting.

This sounds like podcast material.

I took that as a humour that he was going to land on the kids.

I think I'll email Paul Hammond and see what he says.

Never heard of pimeyes before. Very interesting 🤔

going car camping the netherlands later this summer

My pitch has an electricity hookup. I've never used one before but is this the sort of thing I need?

It's just for device charging etc.

In the Netherlands you're more likely to find a standard domestic european socket than the blue thing, so if it's not wet a standard travel adapter and a british extension lead will be fine. Perhaps ask the campsite.

Ideally you'd have something with an RCD on board or inline, though most of the time there's one built into the hookup pillar.

What services are there for me to hire a van & person to pick up a sofa and shift it across London? Any good recommendations from people welcome.

PedalMe?

Can anyone point me to the regs for UK number plate placement?

In other news my sister in law just got pulled over for her car being too dirty.

I don’t think there are any other than white one goes at the front and yellow goes at the back, they have to be visible and they have to be vertical apparently.

https://www.gov.uk/displaying-number-plates/rules-number-plates

You can’t have them inside the car, eg behind the windscreen.

There are regs about sizing and spacing plus the size of the plate itself. Any logos have to be approved (no scooby do like I had), and typeface / raised / carbon effect not allowed . They also have to have the postcode on where they were made. May be more.....

3d letters are allowed now

I'd assumed it would be covered in the Construction and Use Regulations, but apparently not.

Try the Road Vehicle (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations ...

3d letters are allowed now

I know, this sucks balls. At least it helps identify dickheads on the road from a distance.

https://www.gov.uk/displaying-number-plates but pinch of salt as this page is wrong about reg plates for motorbikes. So no idea about the rest.

The plate has to be legible from a certain distance

M5 with a 6mm dia shoulder

E = 6mm
L = 40mm

I need to measure more precisely, but I probably want E to be more like 10mm. I have one of those thread tap and die set things, can I thread the 6mm shoulder to M5 in A2 steel?

If not, alternatively I have a pillar drill and a hand drill, could I make a ghetto lathe to take off a bit of material to get it down to a number I could thread to M5?

Cheers

I need to store a bike outside - Is there a good value bike cover?
Do any come with holes in the side so I can lock the bike to something in my garden?

I just got one on Amazon and yes, came with holes in the side.

I’m 99% certain you won’t get an M5 die to go over a 6mm starting diameter, even if you have one that opens up really wide. A2 stainless will make your life extra difficult (though it won’t be any easier with normal shoulder bolts because they’re case hardened).

Your best bet in the absence of a lathe is probably your ghetto method. File it down roughly by hand first and then finish it in the drill. If you need a full 10mm of actual thread, you’ll need to go 1-2mm further because the die won’t thread all the way to the end. Lots of grease in the die.
