Any question answered...

It was me.

maybe somewhere to burrow rather than for food? i bet its toasty warm in there.
i reckon rats or mice.

Rat for definite.

can anyone seriously taste the difference between a right twix and a left twix
i must have bought about 20 twix bars this week in a quest to discover which one i like the best however I am having trouble tasting any difference what so ever between them
maybe the left twix has a hint of strawberry but i just can't be sure

Dropout spacers, pipe lagging and gaffa tape.
anyone got any pipe lagging lying arouund in can aquire off them!?

It's often found wrapped around scaffolding to protect dozy pedestrians. If you're lucky, you might find some that has fallen off. Ahem.

go to your friendly local builders merchants ...

Any idea what sort of wild animal would chew a 6cm diameter hole in 4mm thick plastic to get at a wormery and assoicated rotted/rotting food?

It seems overly large for a mouse and I doubt a rat would bother as there is no meat or dairy. Bear in mind also that there is a big compost heap with vegetable peelings etc on it only 2m away.

Any ideas?

Rat.

First hand experience suggests a good sized one - a 2" hole appeared in a tupperware sandwich box during my first week at work. A 'snap tin' like this:

• was the only way to stop the buggers sharing your lunch.
  
  

Options:
Live with your new found friend
Tame it
Trap / kill it
Report it and let someone else kill it.

You sure the worms haven't done it and escaped?

Bastard!

I was wondering that but not much space inside (oh and there is a nicer shed next door)

Rat for definite.

Beginning to think that (based on size).

Thanks all!

You serious?

A database that has universal symbols for stuff, trains, animals etc, that's ideally free or at the very least cheap.

I've rinsed that one, others seem um, overpriced.

You could pay a designer to create some for you. Oh, wait... ;)

Have you looked at Glyphicons?

No I hadn't seen that one. Thank you!

Has anyone any experience with this online parts co?

Possibly apocryphal, but I was chatting to the chap from the architects firm responsible for the restaurant I was working in at the time, and he said they specified that ground glass be mixed with the concrete for the basement level (where the kitchen was sited) to slow the rats down, as they'd gnaw through the walls (eventually) to get to the walk-in fridge etc.

I bought an SRM from Pro Bike Supply in the US.

It may now need to go back to SRM for warranty work.

SRM are a German company.

I just got an email from Pro Bike Supply about what I'd need from them as proof of purchase to send to SRM, and their reply was that I couldn't go direct- I'd need to post the crankset to Pro Bike Supply who would then post it to SRM in Colorado.

Would this not mean that they'll get charged whatever the import duty is, and I'll get charged as well when it comes back?

Have we not covered this is some detail before? Customs paperwork needs to describe what it is, so on shipping it to them it's "returned for repair", no import taxes, and when they ship back to you it's "repaired item" and you get taxed on the value of the repair.

^ you can declare things as a repair... but it doesn't always work, i got sent some custom headphone cups that were declared as repairs and got charged full duty

Not this question, no.

However it is reassuring that there is a process for warranty work to be performed without duty being levied.

Anyone know if any bike shops in London stock seatpost shims?

I need a 29.8mm OD / 27.2mm ID and would rather not wait for the internet to deliver as I can't ride my MTB until I get one...
