You have steroids in steak, how large are your Moobs?

Please don't tell Tel that there is also something wrong with his real ale also, as I don't think he'll recover from the double blow.

Changed a faulty rheostat on a machine the other day, on a 1930's/40's intertype, containing a mercury switch. There are actually two of them, the larger one controlling a heating pot for the molten lead and the this faulty one for the 'mouth' to keep small feeder holes hot to the letter mags. I managed to get a used replacement from a printing trade engineer. Note the really flimsy hr cores..to allow mercury switch operation without interference.

mercury can be safely broken down but doing so creates a nasty byproduct called mercury fulminate and the police dont take to kindly to people having that stuff.
