The Oldies Thread

[royalblue66]

Not really yet, but as the percentage of infected people per 1000 of the population around me rises, I will review this.
We've all decided to be prudent and will sadly avoiding potentially germ laden grandchildren for a while.
But in general, more like not jumping into lifes mosh pit morning and afternoon if I can help it.

Think I will go for a pint.

Breathing in clouds of vaporized flux from the welding I'm doing as I make the missus some gates for the garden. Due to the virus faff and a cough she's working from home ffs. Not so ill as to stop looking around and coming up with ideas.

(Was a good reason to use the mill though )

Ah, the old stick welding fumes, remember it well.
Remember the golden rules
Don't look at the bright light.
Dont touch the hot end.
Sparks will always get - up your sleeve, down your neck, in your glove and in your shoe.
As will chipped slag...especially stainless, pings every where that stuff, but the weld looks really cool

Or are you a mig man.

Worst fumes were when welding galv, you had to drink a pint of milk a day to combat the fumes damage to your body.

Mig .... gasless mig for me.

Yesterday a spark of molten steel found the tiny gap that had opened in the finger of my glove resulting in the phrase "arsing f--cking, spitty hot [Poor language removed]!"

There were no real hyphens used in that phrase.

Are the oldies on here self isolating ?

I am self isolating in the pub, but those other selfish barstewards keep turning up as well.......

I’m 63 with 2 stents and an icd, I’m in pretty good shape, I’ve got an exercise bike and some weights which I use 2/3 times a week. Should I self isolate, kids and grandchildren think I should.

Always reminds me of being round at my Grandad’s house.

other customers....

Nearly as bad. But having worked on the other side of the counter, I can't find much good to say about the customer and or general public in a collective manner, however finenthey mey be on a one to one basis...you've only got to look at all the empty shelves.

I think you would be wise to , maybe you could speak to your GP or cardiac clinic for advice

I think we are all getting letters from the NHS telling us to do so early next week......I’m going to have to close the pub and just use it myself, it’s the only way I will be able to get a pint....
