Yup, I quickly decided that one must have a Jaaag at least once in ones life, so I just bought it much to the rofflee's disappointment.

Hat tipped to my mate Tom who picked here up from Broadsword in York and got her to Glasgow.

I've got a load of updates I can't be arsed writing up at the minute, so I'll try and do this bit by bit, in no particular order.

The other day I looked at my two drill tins (both 1mm - 10mm in 0.5mm steps) which have cobalt steel bits in. A lot of the smaller sizes had broke, so I had loads of empty spaces. I got my finger out and ordered some bits yesterday to fill the holes and extras for the common sizes. As I ended up spending over €30, delivery was free.

I was surprised to get a delivery today as nae cunt delivers on a Saturday here. Drill bits. Fantastic service, so a big-up to E. Fox (Engineers) Ltd in Baldonnell, Dublin 22. www.efox.ie

What led to the sort out of drill bits was fannying around trying to sharpen then with no bench grinder handy. I used a cheapy Lidl Powerfix adaptor

but lobbed it on my Bosch SDS drill with chuck attachment. This ended badly as the release cover on the drill got melted and I was unable to release the chuck.

This happened last weekend, so Monday before going to work at 3.20pm I placed an order with https://www.powertoolspares.com/ in that there Lincolnshire. They shipped by 3.30pm and they arrived in NI the following morning. By using Parcel Motel, I had them relayed to a local locker in the ROI and collected them on the way home at 2.45am on Wednesday. By 3.55am I had the thing fixed. So thumbs up to them for their speeding service and using Royal Mail.

Also ordered at the same time were some Koken Nut Twister sockets from uktools.com Took a day longer than the drill spares, but look the business. They are similar to Irwin Bolt-Grip sockets, but come in more sizes overall. I've got a job lined up for one of these bad boys.

That's similar to what I was getting when driving back from Scotchland to Brizzle. Mostly doing 50-70mph (loads of roadworks). Trying my best to keep it at lockup speed.

Yeah you need to drive it harder!
