Having been on the receiving end of an angry house cat I can confirm that they can be a fast moving ball of very sharp knives. Very much not to be underestimated, particularly if not wearing full body armour.

    People used to use a broom to detect hydrogen fires in (scientific) equipment. The fire normally being hard to see. I'm told that you would wave the broom around the equipment and when it burst into flame you'd found your fire.

    Probably not an easy repair. Could you use a thin shim to keep the springs and driver pins in the body, with the key pins in the bible? May need to have the bible at the right angle and most of the way pushed home. If the springs aren't too strong, it may just work. - doubt you can break it much more.

    Alternatively, drill out the plugs in the body and tap the holes for grub screws, then you can repin it easily.

    I'm sure this would be very much appreciated, but on the grand scheme of things, shouldn't our government have far more pressing things to concern itself with right now?

    I hate to say it but maybe Kier should learn from the headlights and try dazzling us with his performance.

    Yeah, I don't understand why we keep pushing for foreign investment, it's a bit of free cash today for us to be thoroughly shafted every day thereafter.

    well I do understand, the piggies need their noses in the trough.
