A Tale of Two Titties

I do, try driving a nail into it or even pulling a bent one out, guess how it bends in the first place. Queensland roofs are a special for that. Even the rub the nail through your hair on your head fails. It takes a hole to be drilled and then that burns out bits.
 
I reckon rubbing a nail through the hair comes from the days when blokes used hair grease like Brylcreem, Pomade or Dapper Dan. Those products were basically just oil or fat with a bit of scent added. I don't reckon clean hair would lubricate a nail. Probably won't work if you're bald either.
My dad had a block of wax that he'd rub nails on. But I dunno if it made much difference when hammering them in.

Oh No!! Have we taken another turn on this thread? Not sure about giving a handy sheep a little rub..........................:censored::LOL:
Husband walks into the bedroom carrying a sheep.
His wife is in bed reading a book.
He stands at the foot of the bed and says, "See honey, this is the cow I have coitus with when you have a headache."
The wife puts the book down and looks at her husband. "If you weren't so stupid" she replies, "you'd realise that's a sheep, not a cow."
"Well" says the husband, "if you weren't such a presumptuous bitch you'd realise I wasn't talking to you."

I’ve burned a lot of “worn out” power pole crossarms, all strine hardwood. After a few decades on a pole it can’t be cut, drilled, split or broken, but it sure burns hot.

Although it makes the sheep smell a bit while they’re drying out in the lounge
 
Cam, Never mind worrying about me not keeping up ( re rotax, 10 pages to read is asking much of a pensioner, wrinkled wince ), anyone whom no loads a compound starter motor is a worry, if a must do, 1 sec or less on applied voltage. As for locked armature ie stalled current, "wood test" ( hard to believe anyone is serious doing that ), none but the brave, takes less than 5 minutes to install a starter on a triple, must be me, not of the enlightened folk.... think about the cross section size of the 4 brushes passing +600Amps let alone the commutator copper segments under the brushes, serious abuse of pensioner age starter motor.. Placard demo... " free pensioner starter motor abuse".... or you can pay for it if has entertainment value...j.

A lot of people have naturally greasy hair. No need to add.

All this talk of 'pensioners' and 'hard wood' - sounds like a sales symposium for Viagra :)

Indeed the phrase "stop it or you will go blind" has been vindicated, Silendafel and Tadalafil have brought the high prospect of blindness to the fore..... what is a lad to do, blindness awaits no matter the choice, perhaps take up wood working and remove old nails for kicks... have done it all, am no spectator, never have been, regards to you Haggis, choices await you, j.

It works on a needle when you're sewing leather.
 
Does California Poppy also work.... looking to my learn'ed friends here.... please only those whom had that era hair poison applied need enunciate, my curly hair was a target for the promise of dead straight young man rectitude, it was resisted with much verve in the day, do not let my RnR hair pull back deceive you.... the curls remain, long after hair or nail lube have declined into history...j
 
I arrived at the tail end of Brilcreme, my awaking arrived when I made contact with a Demountable Highschool building window leaving a very uncool greasy slick. That was my last application in 1969 and it was freed and grew long, resulting in plenty of clashes with those tiny minds in authority. You might think Men's hair was controlled by the Antichrist and was never worn long before in human history. The good old days were heads hardly ever were removed from most over 30-year-old arses.

It's a pity you don't have a friendly electrical guru in Bathurst who could make a house call.
If I lived nearby, I'd offer to have a look at it - not that I consider myself an 'electrical guru', but I can fix most things electrical.

BMWs have a reputation for being reliable, but I've had to sort electrical issues on several mates' Beemers. They seem to do electrical things a little differently to everyone else, which makes maintenance a bit more difficult and costly than it could otherwise be. As an example, you'll find a bunch of non-standard electrical relays on BMWs (the factory must have had them made to order). Of course, on older bikes, those special relays are now no longer available, so you have to work around the problem by re-designing the system to do the same job using standard "off the shelf" relays.

I've never been much of a BMW enthusiast. I've never ridden one that wasn't boring as bat shit, but I've only ever ridden the boxer twins. Maybe the Rotax engined singles are a bit more exciting.

Nope they are not remotely exciting and I can say that with a minuscule amount of authority.

The upshot of my smoking engine: sadly the last service, which was done by a local service centre team, must not have realised that the engine had to be warm to top off the oil and filled her with 4lts of oil 🙈 the hot oil, as I understand, has apparently been seeping out burning bits and bobs. Apparently that and the wiring that was damaged has now been repaired.

Blimey Jon, Silendafel and Tadalafil? I thought they were characters from a JRR Tolkien book until I googled them.

Indeed Cam, a life of diversion and technical details, you also in your field of endeavours i dare proffer. Having to learn the correct pharma names of mixtures and compounds was essential, in particular Psychotropic and Anti Psychotropic medications going back to 1982. Knowledge is power. j.
