My renewal is due next month, and the price is going up by over 28% with my current insurer. A quick check, and that's among the cheapest policies. I've had no claims for 10 years, and have never had any points, etc. Try NFU for a quote, had no problem with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid metal, threaded at each end, about 75cm long. it's a retort rod - screws in to a metal base and is used to then mount various pieces of scientific equipment to construct linear experimentation structures not sure why the top end is threaded too, though, maybe for mounting a bap on which you can snack should your analytical processes take a little longer than anticipated ? if you can also find the thing that's one up from the bottom in the image below, you're laughing, because it's like a mechanical dinosaur claw - you can piss about for a bit pretending to be a 'mechanodon' or some other fantastical mechanical dinosaur type thing - grrrrrrr ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheels will be held on by nuts at either end, or part of a pedal bin that lifts the lid up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Looking for the name of the black female cook/chef that on TV. Sometimes does quiz shows too. I think she won one of the cookery programs from commoner to celebrity. I've exhausted Google search to no avail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
