Mrs. L was talking about an article she read about guys putting their wallets in their back pocket and that it could cause lower back pain and thus better to put it in a side pocket.

Strangely enough, a few years ago i was travelling down to Bristol to my fathers for the weekend, and when I arrived i had a pain in my right thigh. Noticing that I was walking strange, i explained that I had a pain,  whereupon he replied that he used to get the same thing when he drove up to ours. He found it was his wallet causing the problem, after that I always remove mine before driving any distance, never had a problem since !.

Judging by the reg, it was probably before the Japanese got good at making things. Remember the first motorbikes?, Pretty much rubbish, but now great, along with the cars and pretty much anything else they make!!

It's still used but it is costly, alternatives are ice flakes but it's harder to control the water ratio with that. So really there are for s and against both methods. Suppose it boils down to cost, specification and purpose!.

not sure of the idea of using liquid nitrogen

They use liquid nitrogen in bulky concrete pours to give a more consistent batch, as the chemical reaction of cement creates heat, the LN will effectively let the concrete cure more evenly ( simplified). One example where it would have been useful would have been in the construction of the Hoover dam. But I don't think the idea was around then.

I think the thought of it is a bit off putting, one of my friends was very nervous, but after the first eye, couldn't wait to get the other one done!!. And yes, they have to put eye drops in, don't know if it's for a month though!. Will ask tomorrow.

[Ailments, Aches & Pains. (Let's hear them here)]

Just think Lizzie, you could have had a nice holiday with the difference!. And still had some cash to spare. Was the procedure the same? Ie 20minutes per eye ( two days apart mind) no pain etc?

[Free bottle of Lucozade]

I used to like 'lucozade' but have tried it recently and don't think it tastes like it used to, either my taste buds are waining or they have taken something out!!

Also people going to India for eye operations.

Three friends of ours came to India this year and had new lens in their eye's £750.00 each eye, 20 minutes op no risk of cataracts in the future and absolutely no pain. How much in the uk?. Two of our friends reckon that what they saved  on the uk price has more than paid for the trip, with change to spare!!

Could have been two occasions when this happened?

That's the conclusion i was coming to!!

[Last gasp - Players factory demolished]

The only thing is, as I remember, the car was driven round the factory on it's inauguration, and that would have been in 1972 !!

And the buggers chew through all sorts, wires, roofing felt and nick the bird food!!

[Last gasp - Players factory demolished]

Thanks Planfit, and that!!

[Last gasp - Players factory demolished]

Phew, thank goodness for that !.

Your quite welcome to try it out on the squirrels in our back garden!.

There's enough room to build a pub!! Heavens forbid. What about some social house's for the anti socials? With pub, primark, lidl's and of course a cash converters to help fence the mobile phones, plasma tv's and jewelry that requires upgrading every 3 weeks or so !!

[Last gasp - Players factory demolished]

In the photo from Clifton, there is a chimney at players that I worked on the year before it closed down. Our company is literally a stones throw from the site and it makes me sad to think that I remember seeing the place built, worked on the site and now it's gone!!. What a waste of a good building. What's going to take it's place?. Any suggestions?. (Unless somebody already knows!!)

Just to through a bit of confusion into the thread, the lotus in the picture is carrying ayerton sennas number!!

[Last gasp - Players factory demolished]

If I remember correctly, when the Horizon factory was built, didn't someone drive a John Player Lotus around the factory?

[What was your first car?]

Yes i did like a bit of giddy up occasionally, took the 'tomcat' round snetterton on a track day, overall cost_£600.00 that included tyers, fuel, new discs(old one's went a funny colour and cracked) pads and track time. A damm expensive day really, but good fun. Now I just use the bike and do the odd track day at donnington don't cost a fraction and more fun.
