Also, from another Sainsbury's, just to remind everyone supermarkets hate all customers - we're all probably stealing.

Here's a new thing at a local Sainsbury's. Why are there these weird sliding things in front of the chocolate? No, it's not to make it harder to get chocolate because we're such gluttons. It's to make it more difficult to shoplift by sweeping product off the shelf 😳

What am I bid for this fabulous period piece? A high end Alpine stereo, with DVD player, sat-nav and 6 disc MP3 compatible CD Changer. Fully working and complete with all leads. Rejected by my children as there's no streaming.

Fort Walk around St Helens Fort this morning. You walk out from St Helens Old Church when there's a low tide around 0.6m for Bembridge Approaches, then you walk around the fort on a ledge Start the walk 30 minutes before low tide and don't hang around. Great experience, will repeat again

Doesn't look too big in the picture, does it? There's nothing to give much scale in the picture. We did collect it yesterday afternoon. It dragged the two blokes who were selling it across their garden to the trailer. Those wheels have 22" tyres on them. It's huge and moderately terrifying.

This is the partner machine to the two wheeled plough. It's a Howard Gem, which would have been a market gardener's prized tool back in the 60s and 70s

Diamond Hell @diamondhell.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

I'm collecting this with a mate who has bought it later today. The excitement is real. It's a two wheeled plough which apparently runs. It may even 'do it all day' @smithandsniff.bsky.social

Tonight I have done work for which I am not qualified. Anyone who knows me will know I am not a fan of 'trim' This is definitely trim. It has been recovered. There are issues around the sun visor apertures

Yes, that - it's specifically to extract diesel injectors from modern engines. 50% success rate on this Renault Trafic, until the Chinesium nature of the air inlet pipe fitting overcame it.

This evening 50% of the injectors were extracted. Hurrah! Great tool for £65!

Hey @quietriotpod.bsky.social @pimlicat.bsky.social @sturdyalex.bsky.social is there any way of stopping me having to confirm payment every month? I subscribe to other creators, on other platforms and the payment just goes out every month? 🤷

A rummage through my workshop litter and this looks like the likely shape of a slide hammer tool, to give them a bit of aggro tomorrow

Injector clamp bolts successfully removed after the top of the engine has been marinated in penetrant and ATF. No sign of movement from the injectors, so they're soaking for another night

Diamond Hell @diamondhell.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

The scuttle panel leaks water into the top of the engine, which furs up the connectors and corrodes the injectors into the head

Never live and have a business at the same location. Lenders cannot compute that. We have an 'agricultural' mortgage from a lender who was happy to lend on the basis of the land value in 2019. This application was supported by a business plan. We've executed the plan, they won't let us remortgage
