Any question answered...

Mice and other rodents normally access compost bins by tunnelling under
and up into the fill.

Avoid putting any cooked food into the compost,
and,
sort out a solid base.

I recycled some paving slabs from a neighbour,
making a rectangle an inch or so bigger on both dimensions
than our two compost bins.
I then made up a frame from reclaimed wood from pallets which ensured the paving slabs could not slide apart.

A couple of shovels full of 'mud' from the bottom of another compost bin,
with a plentiful supply of compost worms, (which are not your commonly encountered earthworms),
and its worked fine and rodent - free for the last 4 years.

Right- so at this point there is a call and answer/antiphoyn section in this song, and if possible I'd like more music with that sort of style of singing... if anyone has any suggestions?

Many thanks.

I'm trying to find these shelf divider thingy's I saw at my mates house on Ikea's website but having no luck.

They basically give you an extra level for things like spices which are little.

Any ideas?

Its in the kitchen section

What do you reckon I'd perform best on at the track, a pre cursa with 88mm carbon rims and good clincher tyres or a seta with heavy aluminium wheels?

Pre cursa

Is that just what you wanna see me build?

you won't notice the difference.

I was just looking at the spec sheet for some dyneema line (for a speargun wishbone, incidentally) and I saw the table goes up to 5" diameter, with a 1200000 kg breaking strain. Surely they don't actually make that?

Tug boats?

I've seen the same model/colour bike that I had as a teenager for sale on ebay.
Should I buy it?

Are you likely to ride it?

Have you forgotten where you are James?

Want bike - buy/build bike - have bike - the end.

Ride a bike.... whatever next ;-)

Cannondale Track

:(

Tug boats?

And mooring deepwater rigs, apparently

Seriously though, Sumo is right.

Buy a little plastic/wood/iron/glass/plutonium box and turn it on it's side?

Probably a totally stupid question and I am likely to answer my own question within the question. I am thinking of getting a composter to deal with my garden waste, as the weeds and whatnot do grow very quickly in my garden and I am tired of having to travel to dispose of them, Lambeth charges for disposing of them for you and I disagree with it. I have a mice problem that has only been under control recently and finally! Will having a composter in the garden increase the risk of having these little hairy friends back? I don't plan to put any food in it, just simply garden waste. Last thing I want is to provide them with a warm bed. Garden next door is a fucking mess that hasn't been used for at least 4 years and I do believe those mice live there and find their way into my flat...

A proper compost heap is too warm for mice to live in (during a Manitoba summer anyway), you need to pay a little more attention to it than a typical pile-o-waste. My father-in-law's compost heap has been over 20 degrees C about 10 cms in when outside temps were hovering at -25.

I was planning to put it at the end of the garden, as far away from the flat as possible... there is about a 2m x 2.5m area that is solid concrete, so I guess based on what you have said, it should be OK?

Tug boats?

1.2 million tons. What the fuck are they pulling?

No, 1.2 million kilograms, i.e. 1200 tonnes.

5" diameter, with a 1200000 kg breaking strain

Interesting, 1200000kg is also about the yield load for a 5" diameter 4130 steel bar.

Odd coincidence of the day; if you attached cables of the same number and gauge as her main battery to HMS Belfast, they would just about be strong enough to lift her out of the water.

Has anyone got a derailleur hanger alignement tool I can borrow tonight/tommorow?

or a spare 10mm axle? or even a whole threaded axle rear wheel (10mm)?

As you have probably guessed, I have a bent hanger I would like to straighten out.

pretty amazing though when you consider that Dyneema is just(!?) another form of polythene :)

Albeit an ultra high molecular weight polyethylene...

Black jubilee clips - where could I purchase some in a physical shop in London?

Sounds fine,
as long as the concrete has no significant cracks
or joints in it.

Have you got a source for the 'starter' mud/compost/compost worm blend?
