Just got return contracts from five UK County Councils regarding lighting sets (Generators).
According to them petrol run sets are now banned, use of diesel is acceptable. Which cripples us with the added towing wieght and costings >> Petrol around £300 with the diesel a minimum of £1000,,, so what`s to do. Their game is obvious,,,each and every one of them offers as an alternative to supply you with their power >>> at a price of course,,,,,so once more the showman is on the end of the bad deal. Add to this the 2008 rent increase and I bet that this season will kill off a lot of the smaller shows. Ken |

Time top tap into those high born 'friends' you made in 06.
These council buggers are so obvious about their dirty tricks. Shame. Hire somebody to turn a crank. Cheaper.

Get the diesel you dope! You can get/make bio diesel fuel for shillings a litre! Any diesel engine can run on bio diesel, some can be done with little or no conversion costs. There are welder/generator/compressor combo machines that are diesel (they run around $15,000 to $30,000 per unit), many weldors are turning to bio diesel for their machines to keep there profit margin from getting eating up by fuel costs.
Sheesh! Oh, didja get yer nails yet?

Nails were posted to you Tuesday 12 of Feb., so who knows?
And for some screwy reason, Europe (being so much closer to the worlds majority of crude oil) has outrageous fuel prices. Turkey has petrol at $3.09 per litre (that's Turkish lira which is 80% of the USD, making it less than 40% of the GBP). Either way, bio diesel is by far the cheapest, especially waste fry oil... yer generator will smell like chips all day long!

Nails...
Nifty New Nipps Nasal Nails? Neat! I have one of those - never leave home without it (unless I'm traveling by air, then I switch to clear - its a shame that that version is now out of production). Ken, if you haven't had one before, you're gonna love it... As a matter of fact, thinking about it, it may be time for me to get another, just so I'll never be without... (What if another supplier went dark... I'd be back to lathe work.) So Nipps, when you do get back to smithin' - got any wrist binding accessories in the queue? Steve |

Yes I have a number of Nipps nails already but as my bogie tube has got bigger I required larger nails (10"x1" !!).
I also bite my nails ! Ken |

Brett,
That's god to know... I've had one failure (we talked about that on the phone). But... I can see clearly now, the advantage of Glass when traveling through security... It really is clear, even on the X-Ray machine. I was on one of those trips that just keeps going more wrong back in December. The Airline counter person was trying to get me to stay over in Denver since they'd canceled my flight to Colorado Springs... My hand was in my pocket and fiddling with my Glass nail when I heard my mouth say " Stay in Denver - I'd rather shove a nail into my face... " Well, I got control of my hand before if followed my mouth's advice and didn't meet the guys with guns, but it was nice knowing I had choices. Steve |

Yeah, what YOU (and we) may think is cute and entertaining is just something they have no patience for.

True enough, but that blade swings both ways...
We have little patients for what they think is cute either. We just can't do a #@$^%&* thing about it! |

Dings---jeez--its the same everywhere. Not that diesel is any more "earth friendly" than gasoline, but its always about the money...
