I'm going down to Southampton, to help Captain Pugwash clean his ship on the 4th :D
I'm short of 100ft of solution and 2" vac hose
I have emailed someone local to me, but as a back-up is there anyone either already going there, or somewhere along the way, that could lend me the required hose?
I'll be going down the M1 from Northampton, round the M25 and then down the M3
The only complication would be that I'm likely to be passing by quite early in the morning!
Cheers :)
-
Jim if you want to make a small detour i will lend you some :D
-
me too, cool cuff conectors though on the vac hose.
failing the diversion, you could check the tacca site for possible guys on your route.
-
Thanks Derek, had already had a quick look - not possible to tell from everyone's info who's got the right kit, i.e. TM hose.
I have a few options open but might be calling on you for a bit of help!
Cheers :)
-
Dave the Hose is in Watford if you want to buy some Jim
;D ;D
-
Hi Jim,
Ive got some you could borrow. I will be there anyway.
Oh btw, the best route for you would be the A43/34, much quicker.
Fran.
-
How much hose you running?
-
I have some but I'm the wrong side of Southampton if you get stuck call me.

Jim,I live in Silsoe,Beds.I can lend you 2 inch hose/solution hose if you still need it.07545 150902.
-
got plenty of hose here if you want to borrow it. Also have a rx if you want to take as a spare just in case.
-
Jim, I've got 50 foot of both if you still need it I'm in Basingstoke
Edit
Push send and then text arrives! Jim's got it sorted now everyone.
-
Thanks a lot guys, having spoken to Simon today I think we will have enough. Really appreciate the offers, thank you :)
Fran, just as a back-up if you wouldn't mind chucking 50ft each of vac & solution hose in your van that'll set my mind at rest :)
Also if anyone's got any vac hose joiners they might be needed! Not sure I've got enough
-
damn me Jim it will be easier if I just come down there and do it for you :D
-
Your gettin more gay than Billy ;D
-
Impossible :)
-
Jim can't you pull out some intestine or sumat :o

Funnily enough Shaun that's exactly what I've been doing for the last hour, plucking and gutting pheasants!!!
P.S. I'm only plucking pheasants cos the pheasant plucker's late!

Talk about doing it the hard way.
Cut off legs, wings, head. Cut down the back between skin and meat then peel the lot off in one go over the legs.
Did 2 on christmas day!
-
But then you don't have the skin to stuff butter and herbs underneath whilst cooking.....
At least that's the excuse I've been given, if I had it my way I'd just put them through a blender and make soup out of them.
My Mum is the master pheasant chef, I just take them round and they appear on the table a few hours later with lots of nice roast potatoes and veg :D
-
we have thousands of the bloody things pheasants that is
there was another shoot in our woods today, the guy who runs the shoot grew 9000 of the bloody things just outside our house, still cannot move for them
-
So you're not the feather pucker but the feather pluckers son ;D
Shaun
-
My dad's a bit of a plucker at times, yes ;)
Hector my dog has just read your post and she wants to move in to your house tomorrow please, apparently!
You wouldn't need to walk her, just let her out in the woods for a couple of hours to chase all those lovely pheasants around!
-
Whats this forum coming too ? first there billy and his small blower now jim with his short hose ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Whatever next, Craig "tinynozzle" ? ;)
P.S. (from when this was a serious topic) Thanks Fran, I didn't realise the A34 was dual carriageway all the way down to Eastleigh, that'll save a bit of time and diesel :)
-

Downside..... plenty of speed cameras along that route
-
I don't go fast enough to be worried about speed cameras! So long as it's a 70 limit most of the way I don't think I'll be getting any letters in the post :)
-
round Oxford when you first get on the A34 is the worst bit for the cameras Jim, after that it is pretty much plain sailing (excuse the pun) til you join M3 at Winnall.
-
What machine you using Jim ?
Tony
-
Guys,
You do know the speed limit on dual carraigeways for any van that is not car derived is infact 60mph on a dual carraigeway!!!!
This is the kind of thing you learn when you get caught speeding and have to do a driver awareness course ;D ;D
The cameras arent that bad anyway Jim, I drive Bournemouth to Northampton all the time and rarely see any!
Good luck guys,
Fran
-
Fran, aware of the limits but the cameras can't tell the difference between cars and vans :)
Tony, I'll be running dual-operator with RX-20s off a Puzzi 100 ;D (will take the blue wave in the van as backup/spotter ;) )
-
lol ;D No just wondered with Simon asking for porty users.
Cheers Tony
-
I'm doing a restaurant, nice easy peasy one for me :) Simon's attaching an extra RX-20 and one of his guys to my machine, 1,000 sq yds dual tooling in a 5hr time window!
I think I'll pop down the ships' galley, see if I can pinch some of Popeye's spinach or something!!!

Ah easy.
1,000 by 2 guys = 500 each
500 by 5 hours = 100 per hour or (10 yards x 10 yards) per hour
Stop wimping and get on with it ;D
-
Haven't you realised yet Neil!!!! Jims a bit of a Gay!!!!! :-* :-*
Pink Sebo at the ready!!!!!!!
;D ;D ;D
-
Actually, Billy Small Blower, I've taken the sebo off the van for tomorrow - time to man up!!
Neil, productivity with the RX will be much higher than that once everything's running but there's a faffing about factor to be taken into consideration I think.
Belinda will certainly be put through her paces tomorrow (don't tell anyone, that's what I call my machine)
