Paper clips and zip ties

[BotusBuild]

I just found a lovely use of a zip tie. Couldn't get the bottom screw of the pipe clip in ....

Was the title meant to be *pipe* clips and zip ties? I had assumed not and was waiting for an exposition on the myriad alternative uses for paper clips (apart from temp. replacement clips on split-link chains and repairing my reading glasses).

just needs duct tape over the mouth to resolve the noise issue caused by cable ties

My forum signature in a different place as always “in life you need three things - cable ties, duct tape and WD40 - if it moves when it shouldn’t use cable ties or duct tape - if it doesn’t move and it should use WD40” 

 

I am partial to old Opels so it’s pretty normal for those cars

You're thinking shove the WD40 can in the mouth - because yes that would?

You trying to get me into trouble.

I find a good squirt on the soles of bare feet stops them running away.

@Pocster taught me that.

Bit harsh implying @Pocster is an 'odd drip' he may be odd but he is no drip or have I got that the wrong way round.

X-Spurt

X is the unknown, spurt is a drip under pressure.
