Since you work in a B&Q superstore, would you know if they intend to stock
blades for the Bosch PMF 180 multi tool? I saw the tool on sale in the Gillingham superstore, but no blades and nobody knew nuffin. I can buy them on line at RAI, but they are a PITA to deal with, website is a nightmare, no e commerce, they call you to get card details & it takes 5+ days for the goods to arrive. -- Dave The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |

Not sure how your local branch is laid out but where they display the blades for the jigsaws and power saws is where we put our blades. The sanding triangles should be universal with most Bosch sanders. If they haven't got them in stock right now they should be getting them in future. When I next go in, I'll get the item codes for you to wave at the BnQ staff. TR |

And it was at Senlac Hill not Hastings. What is the Magic Circle? Is it like the masons? Most people have heard of The Magic Circle in London, but there are magic clubs all over the country. Some call themselves 'Magic Circles', like the Leicester Magic Circle, others use different titles like the Medway Magical Society, The Chester Guild of Magicians, Farnborough Association of Magicians etc. The London Magic Circle is simply the oldest and London based, other than that its just another club really. The HQ is a spectacular building http://www.themagiccircle.co.uk/main_nav/index.php -- Dave The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |
