Back to troll eh, you brainless ****wit.


Jerry is just the village idiot. HE claims that I am a troll because I used
a gmail address for the weekend when I was using someone elses computer.

Didn't you know that our Jerry is a domestic wiring expert, a computer
expert and now it seems an expert on torque wrenches and car manuals? The
guy is a ****ing undiscovered genius.


He should stick to naturism. I bet that get's a laugh.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember (Steve Firth)
saying something like:

I've worked on my cars for years now, the problem with these bolts is
that the torque is high anyway and there's very little movement between
sufficient and broken.


Yep. It is much harder to tell when enough is enough.

Jerky is talking crap.


No surprise there, then.

Irrelevant unless you built your own vehicle (and thus wrote your

vehicle day in and day out within the motor trade, and if such
problems were a day in-day, day-out problem the trade grape vine
would humming...

The fact is, only NVQ level 1 apprentices and the mechanically
illiterate numpty breaks bolts in the manor you described. :~(

So you regularly break bolts do you Grimly, that is what you are
admitting to if you agree with numpty Firth, but then I suspect
that the context lost out to your wish to troll yet again...

Yep. You are correct. I suspect that if you lock him in a room with mirror
within 5 minutes he will have called his reflection a ****ing ugly stupid
troll and then ask it why it was grinning like a fool after been insulted.

Well yes, unfortunately I do have the knack of exposing trolls,
like the idiot who interjected into a thread about warm air
heating recent thread [1] with nothing but person abuse simply
because I happened to ask the OP a totally reasonable question
and when it was suggested that he might like to offer his
(undoubted) experience [2] of such heating units he went very
quite - moving of to more posting more personal abuse in this
later thread...

[1]

[2] undoubted as he seemed to consider someone asking how the gas
burner was controlled if the heater had no 240v electrical
control unit as being a rather stupid question to ask.

Did I say undiscovered genius?

I meant to say genus of protozoa.

It is so easy to mix the two up when Jerry is talking ********.

Stop trying to wriggle out of your own slurry pit, the vehicle
*is* irrelevant, unless you are a numpty idiot who breaks bolts.
As I said, if there really was a production vehicle that had a
tendency for such a servicing issue it would be known trade-wide.

Liar, as anyone in the world can read for themselves, how can a

For some reason you keep running away from answering the question. You
made an assertion, more than one in fact, indicating that you know the
make and model of vehicle referred to. Now that you have been caught out
telling lies you are trying to run away from the matter.

Again.

No, he's not but you're obviously a stranger to the truth. Tell me
again, which car was I working on, you must know which one because you
claim to know it better than I do.

Or are you man enough to admit that you comment was your usual bull****

In these benighted climes, apart from taking the annual bath, what other
reason is there to take your clothes off?

Outside of a hospital anyway.

There's a naturist beach not that far from here. Mostly one tends to
think "put some clothes on" not for the sake of prudery but because of
the unaesthetic nature of what is on show. I've no doubt that Jerky is a
lens breaker.

Bought one today. It's 28-210 Nm at accuracy of +/- 4% ('if used
correctly'). Comes in a nice blow-mould case (as depicted). Made in
Taiwan.

Looks fine, I haven't tried it on anything yet. It appears to be very
similar to Toolstation's example and only a few quid cheaper:

so probably not worth making a huge detour for.
