  1. It's simple Bob, with that formula you can calculate how long a wooden leg needs to be to sit on comfortably whilst stuck up your arse 4 inches and leant at an angle of 70 degrees
  2. Taken me forever to figure out a simple hypotenuse calculator, yeay yeah I know Pythagoras theorum but on surveys I'm not able to measure the upright length just the width from the ground and the angle in degrees of the roof by placing my digital spirit level on a rafter My first spreadsheet formula was flawed and I was buggered if I could figure out the issue hypotenuse = width/cos(angle), eventually I realised that spreadsheets need radians not angles in degrees, then it hit me after and hour or two of playing with the functions "DEGREES" and "COS" etc that maybe there's a RADIANS function, and there is, formula is now hypotenuse = Width/COS(RADIANS(angle)) et viola, it works Now to scrub all the chalk markings off the living room wall before the Mrs see's them

  9. Well, that was just fucking stupid Drove up the Black Mountain to get some scenery shots, it was full of wankers everywhere blocking the roads so they could play in the snow, soooo I had an idea. "I know" I though to myself, "I'll head up Betws Mountain, that won't be busy", I know a short cut through route I used to take on the dirt bikes when I came off Rhiwfawr and headede up Baran Mountain. so off I set, I very quickly realised it may not have been the best idea I ever had, especially in my Shitroen C3, asx the first obstacle I remembered I always encountered on route was a sheet of ice across that always forms when it's cold, sod that though I know it well enough to get a sensible speed up and skaet over it, job done, this is a very trick and tight single track road with just enough room for one car and in places it has sheer drops one one side and ditches the other, but persist I did, please with myself at getting up some of the snow and ice covered inclines and round some of the 180 tight hill turns on single tracks, I was just 5 minutes from destination when I encountered a long steep hill so I got as much speed as I could muster trying my best to not let the wheels spin but alas half way up it just wouldn't grip any more, FUCK, I had come down similar sloaps to get where I was, I managed to very gingerly revers down the frozen slope and got to a point that was a tiny bit wider but not really enough to turn in, I managed it anyway by reversing the rear end as much as I could up a bank but then had to gather grit from the river in the small valley in front of the car placed the grit in front of my front wheels (its a front wheel drive POS), hit the accelerator so the front end slid round to the right rather than going off down the valley and into the river, whooo hoo, job down, continued back on the road I came down juft to find another hill too steep to ascend, FUCK again, nobody here no phone signal. I began to liitterally scrape the tarmac with a windscreen ice scraper and only had about 200m of it to clear LOL, fortunately before done some other cars got stuck too further down so we all chipped in and got one car up at a time, one of them had been further along the route all night (twat), eventually got home, frozen hands and not one fucking picture. Here's the route, have a ball and do a street view imagining it covered in frozen snow and ice GPS co-ords for start 51.761599, -3.880478 GPS co-ords for stuck point 51.765916, -3.927134
  10. Like Bob say's XF Freewing similar to the DR but with twin ports and a counter balanced crank, it was still a vibey thumper though.
