Learn something new everyday?

Tip:  Here is a secret!  But it's time to blast this one wide open!!  Tell your friends!  Next time you're at a party randomly introduce yourself to someone and tell them... When removing a sump plug from a car to drain its oil the correct tool to use is a hex socket of the right size...

IE a ring spanner is no good...  After using all manner of implements yesterday and finally going down in the cold night in the hope the bolt had contracted and still failing- i learnt this this morning from the very Prince of mechanics himself: Rebore (yes that's really what people call him)!  Anyway now let's see if i can make it work today with the right tool...

Time of posting is 9am; 30th May...

Just noticed in your profile that you like Bliss, by Mr Carey!

Great choice - haven't seen the movie yet but I'm sure Barry Otto nails it.

Hail yeah!

The film is really visual a lot like the novel... most cool. Honey Barbara grew on me; i did not like her at first... I have read a lot of Carey's stuff; Bliss is the best, but his short storiesa recomparably good IMO.
