    Lumens factory e series kl1 head rattle help.

    I bought a couple of lumens factory e series heads a while back and tonight went to put a couple of torches together using them and noticed one of the heads rattled. If I grip the spring and turn the head clockwise it stops it from rattling but it easily turns back and rattles again. Obviously...

    Bionic body parts

    Here in the uk if you get a hip replacement on the national health you get a plastic one cemented in to an oversized hole and it is this bond that normally fails with time. Go private you get a Ti one that fits like a glove that will out live you.

    I have been doing mine for twenty years or more. Use clippers with out any attachments and the little lever set to the closest cut. Do this once a week or so.

    A hat thread

    Raggie, I think everyone has the right to an opinion and am happy to debate someone who’s opinion differs from mine. And always remain polite and civil even when they may begin to be angered by the fact I have a different opinion from theirs. And if it gets to the point they then become abusive...

    A hat thread

    The whole cultural appropriation issue is a joke. A couple of years ago a young white women posted some pictures of herself online wearing a beautiful traditional silk Chinese dress. She was trolled and accused of cultural appropriation. Also Jamie Oliver brought out a jerk dish and was accused...

    Sunglasses

    in the past I splashed out on expensive designer sunglasses, but there’s days I wouldn’t bother as they soon get sat on, trod on or lost. I now mainly only wear sunglasses (amber) on motorways at night as the glare of oncoming vehicles can dazzle me.

    Non flashlight Battery help.

    The original batteries were NiMH so are the replacements. I emailed the company I bought them from and they said they would be fine. Very worse case scenario I may have shortened their lifespan slightly but they doubted even that from one charge cycle. They are in the phones now and charging well.

    DOGS

    My dog passed away just before Christmas. And up until now the longest I have been without a dog is two weeks. I still have the cat, who is great but it’s not the same. I will have a dog again no doubt, but not right now as I can’t afford the insurance on two animals right now.

    does the human body learn to accept warm or cold places to live?

    Here in the uk we are not used to long hot summers so the moment the sun comes out people go mad and strip off to bask in the heat. I was out shirt on covered in factor 50 wearing in a hat similar to that worn by the French foreign legion with a long back and sides to protect my neck. Everyone...

    How many flashlights have you collected

    Pretty much my experience now. I’m in the process of cutting down and it is grating selling torches in brand new condition at much less than I paid for them. But I am trying to declutter and only keep the few I really like.
