DIY Scout badges

Kids can do that in their sleep. Most of them get a new phone every year.

Yes, bootable floppies, with drivers to let them use CDs for more stuff. Very handy.

It's only fairly recently that I found an equivalent to Norton Commander for Windows. I've been using Midnight Commander on my forays into Linux since I started trying to use Linux.

Fine for the home stuff with J - and the scout hut has toilets so we can do that for the group badge. Ta.

Changing a wheel is a good idea. I have the use of an portable compressor and a flat parking space outside the scout hut. I think I would prefer to us a trolley jack.

Scouts now cover the 10 to 14 year olds.

Some pictures and (B&Q) instructions might give some ideas - in:-

...and most do not recognise the early signs that maintenance is needed. Squeeky wheels on pushchairs, sticking drawers, stiff taps, etc.

I get annoyed when I go to my daughters' houses and find things that need a minor fix and they haven't even noticed.

so you keep a can of WD40 and a roll of Gaffer Tape in the car?

[John Williamson]

Are you implying that there are people who *don't*?

[Bob Eager]

And presumably some 3-in-1 in case something needs actually lubricating?

[The Medway Handyman]

Careful, I may have to bring back the WD40 Liberation Front....

[ARW]

I wonder if Pulse & Cocktails sell a 3 in 1 lubricant?

You're a nice guy, no matter what anyone else says. ;-)

Take kids to toilet. 'Now, today's task is to put your hand down the toilet and clean all the congealed shit out.' :)

Give the other kids that wait around until the one has done whatever something to do.

I recently provided entertainment for a bunch of kids by providing a block of wood, a box of nails, a few hammers, and an older kid with pliers to straighten the knocked-over nails.

Bunch of the sprogs had never hammered in a nail in before, and did so with enthusiasm. And they didn't even notice they were learning a skill!

A pallet and a bow saw might also work, providing firewood as well.

Fitting a plug is rarely necessary nowadays. I used to enjoy fitting a nice new plug to my latest purchase.

Unfortunately there are so many variants of ballcocks now that it would be hard for a young person to apply what is taught on one - to a totally different one.
