Any question answered...

Piss in to a plastic jug - makes distribution easier too.

Ver' good.

Yeah but the garden is relatively long so getting good distribution either means lots of visits or wandering around mid flow

This is the kind of thing I'd have to do but which jug to christen as the piss jug? I wondered about a really grim water pistol

You don't need a lot of the stuff to keep foxy away.

Hence the jug / water pistol (the latter has risks of nasty kid accidents if they find and play with it)

Thanks for the heads up. Hope the old codger is doing fine otherwise.

It was before we had kids and there was very little fox poo. I assume they didn't like to poo in their own back yard

This is my experience too. A couple of young foxes like to visit and sleep in our garden (they don't actually live there just come for daytime naps) and apart from a brief phase of pooing next to the compost bin, there's very little. They do sometimes come at night and muck around with the container plants which is annoying.

Ok not my experience - there is a family and the shit is constant (went away for a week, more than a dozen fly infested craps all over).

They do sleep in our long grass too but doesn't seem to put them off shitting

Is there a lube thread?

I've got a couple of arm slings. I know everyone probably just bins them but it seems a waste. Is there anywhere I could send them to be reused?

There's lots of lube threads. It depends what you want to lube.

Chain lube, got it, couldn't search as was on mobile.

Another tip for handling/managing fox poo.
Pipe freezer spray from a plumber's merchant.
Apply the freezer spray to the poo for 20-30 seconds from all sides/directions. It'll make it rock solid and easy to trowel it into a plastic bag for disposal.

This is magic. I'll order some online tonight whilst drinking the booze that will soon be recycled around our borders....

Let's hope male human piss is better

Use an old washing up liquid bottle for pinpoint pissing accuracy.

I tried Zoo-Poo (Lion's shit) on my lawn to find that it is a) mostly ineffective, and b) replacing one sort of shit with another .
Whereupon I took it upon myself to chuck my piss over my lawn.
Never looked back.

Have a wazz on the gap in the hedge where I think they are coming through. Don’t know if it helps, but I like to think of them having to crawl through my stinky piss

Hiya, just bought some second hand Bontrager SwitchBlade forks, though the ones that doesn't let you switch the blades, and the full aluminium version, not the ones with carbon fork legs/blades. I've a vague plan to mount them on my old mountain bike. I was wondering how these are assembled (fork ends, crown, steerer...) Guessing it's bonded? And if so is there a risk of failure like the old Alan / Vitus aluminium lugged frames, after some years?

is there a risk of failure like the old Alan / Vitus aluminium lugged frames, after some years?

By the time the Vitus frames started coming apart, glue tech had advanced to the point where it's not worth worrying about. That fork has nearly 30 years of advances between it and the original glued Vitus frames.

Anyone know how to set the region on a Sony BDP-S5500 regionfree player?

Thanks!
