Re: Nothing In Particular

Staying in place is kind of important in motor racing.

It's good to have fun. :lol:

Re: Nothing In Particular

Thanks to you all. :) I've just had a phone call from a doctor at the hospital, and they are going to give her hip and head a scan. I probably won't hear any more till tomorrow. She had an operation yesterday afternoon. I've been to see her today, and she seems OK, if a little more confused than no...

Possible hip problem so she's off to Basildon hospital. Also her cognitive function seems to be diminished, but that may be due to the circumstances. :(

Re: Nothing In Particular

The first responder has been, but is unable to do much because because she is not a medic and thinks Mum might have hip damage.

Have rung 999 and now waiting for the next responder, but it won't be an ambulance.

Thanks Andrew, she is warm and as comfortable as the situation allows.

I hate waiting. :(

Re: Nothing In Particular

I'm at Mums, and she has fallen over in the kitchen. :shock:

I'm not strong enough to get her up, so I pressed her emergency button and they are now sending a responder to help.

Re: Toroidal Transformer Mounting

I'd try and find an old inner tube. Your local tyre depot might have some in the skip. Not car, but motorcycle or even wheelbarrow.

Not sure if it's facts or conspiracy but possibly worth a listen, it just seems to me a funny world when an edited royal photo can make headlines for days and these events are seemingly covered up rather quickly?
Funny you should say that Steve. :wink:

Re: OK…so I’m on wi’ summat

I'm not a metallurgist, but I can't see that sort of aluminium work hardening in the short term.

Bending as Steve described won't need any heat.
