Just a reminder clocks go forward in the small hours of tomorrow so we lose an hours sleep

Twice a year I have to think carefully when setting my oven timer for our Sunday morning freshly baked baguette. Luckily I have a degree in engineering. And a hammer.

What you need is a beer hammer.
Hammer one side, beer bottle opener the other.

Came in very useful when I was dismantling a DJM 71. If you look closely you can see the tiny double ended motor with its two yokes.

That is so true, and apart from moving house, that's exactly what I do. But seeing as I'm in hospital, I guess I've even done that this year. I'm not sure it's this weekend here anyway!

Not that it means much to me - in the words of Phil Collins, " Just another day in dripadise" :wave:

I hope you all remembered and no one is still operating on the wrong time.
Anyone got a dashcam fitted to their car (nudge, nudge, wink, wink ;) )?

Got most of mine done easily enough, but the one on the cooker was a bit of a beggar - managed it in the end, though;
