fk right off!!! £195 for a 1kg tub of grease?!?!? I pay £1.93+vat for 400g of lithium complex, and occasionally splash out on £10 tubes of calcium sulphonate complex, but that's just ridiculous!

I think buying that would win this thread outright.

I have one of these that I inherited from my late grandfather though the 'detail' has clouded on the main body of the pen. The cap and base are still fine. Do they have any value, can I get it repaired? Is it worth it?Oh, and mines green not blue!

There is a pump mechanism inside Vacumatics which usually needs replacement after 70 years and they internals of the pen will need a good clean. As long as the nib is good then the pen will be worth a service, it will cost around £25 and the pen will be worth more than £50 when it is finished.Oh, and mines green not blue!
Good to keep as a family heirloom but there is always a ready market and strong collectors interest for these pens if you wanted to sell.
Please contact me if you need any help.

If it's easy to do so, strip away all the grease from bearings etc and refresh with a good calcium sulphonate complex with EP (extreme pressure) and AW (anti-wear) properties. I rely on it to protect million pound machines in extremely harsh environments, it'll be more than sufficient for your car!!!

Bought some 'Creed Aventus'. Got plenty of other fragrances laying around but this one was something special.
My god does is smell so good!
I've all but run out of my bottle of the stuff - I need to buy more but I'm baulking at the prices now. For the price of replenishing my Aventus I can buy some decent power tools.My god does is smell so good!
I've just accidentally bought a Black & Decker 18V Lithium battery cordless hammer drill in an Amazon Lightning deal for £48.99, despite already having a perfectly good Bosch non-hammer Lithium battery drill and a mains-powered hammer action drill.
Thing is, the Bosch is pretty useless as a drill in anything other than soft materials like wood or plaster, and the mains drill is rather heavy and unwieldy.
