Morning, Humans.
And Ropey.
Had a few sherberts last night, by few I mean loads.
Where does 'Sherberts' come from when referring to booze? I've often wondered. (Not really often, more once or twice in over 30 years)And Ropey.

In the olden days the indigenous Indian tribes that lived there used to brew their alcohol from the natural springs that flowed down from the Rockys, hence it was referred to as Mountain Water. In the 1920's I think it was, Herbert Basset the third invented the Sherbert Fountain in Virginia (I think they are still made even today), and it quickly became a favorite sweet of the local Indians. Trouble was that most of them were pissed when they went into the shops to buy one and one day a local shopkeeper said 'here's an Indian from the mountain after a fountain, must be drunk again.' And his assistant said 'sherbert fountain?' And term 'sherbert' has been associated with getting drunk ever since.

Biggest question is, will Phil Rudd be on drums, or in the clink?
In other news I think my hearing has recovered from Machine Head last Tuesday....
Glad to read you can hear again, great 'gig selfie' BTW. Never seen one of the band, the entire crowd and the venue before.
Yeah, it's a pretty neat thing to do reaLLy

I've always assumed sherbert dip - nipReading your description, I was there with them in the cheerful noise of the Works, sharing their optimism and admiring their pragmatism while steeped in the smell of hot engine oil, Connolly and cutting fluid.

I'll be in the garage as well. 
Plenty of space in there from what I've seen.If Santa brings me an entire kit for an Ultima GTR800, can I get it delivered to your place?
Maybe you could put it together for me over the holidays?

I've been meaning to ask for some time - and can't write short enough search criteria - has anyone ever woven a shape in glass or carbon fibre prior to applying the resin?
Follow that? You picture lads laying up glass mat where each piece of mat will have an edge and the structure is weak at that point or, to strengthen it, there will be a bulky overlap or a second application mat laid perpendicular to the first to build plies of mat. What I'm asking is, has anyone ever laid strands of fibre the whole width and length of the contours of the mould to effectively weave the entire shape of the structure before the resin is applied? To knit a balaclava in carbon or glass fibre and then coat it in resin would be very strong. Then do it for a car body panel.

If you have a mould, vacuum bagging is your friend. Google some YouTubes of it. The kits are now quite cheap.Follow that?
