Glue
After yesterdays super glue antics, I have today moved on to Pritt stick.

I hate it.

It feels rubbish, it's leaving lumpy bits on the back of pictures, and it doesn't stick properly.

What kind of glue is it if it isn't sticking stuff to other stuff?


Grr.

special glue. For special people.

The wrong kind.
PVA glue for example is crap at sticking magpies to brick walls.

A hot-glue-gun does it beautifully.

Nails
are the best kind of glue.

^^
I knew I was doing something wrong: nailing was proving difficult without a nail-gun, and I was fast running out of magpies.

Nails!
Fantastic!
I prefer using a pnumatic pinner...

We have more accidents at work using that than the other machines put together.

Pritt Stick is great
When I was in Year 3, a few of us tried to get high by sniffing Pritt Stick. We were given a stern lecture on the evils of drug abuse.

Magpies are hard to nail...
.. with nails..

Try putting in 2 nails about 8" apart, one above the other. then, using zip-ties (cable ties) secure the neck to the top one, and the legs to the bottom.

Feel free to change nail-spacing and orientation depending upon size and desired orientation of Magpie.

Nailing Magpies with a Nailgun
The image tickled me somewhat.
I hate magpies.
Only real avian ones though.

@ al
A mis-spelling of "pnumatic pinner".
( Cawl, Thu 8 May 2008, 11:47, closed)

Hmm
I may try gluing a magpie to one of my pages just to spice it up a bit.

It would be more interesting than street furniture anyway.

Shame I'm sticking paper to paper really. Sticking my hand to assorted items in my room was much more fun.

Don't forget the wings
Staple gun should do the trick

top tip:
never open a tube of superglue with your mouth.

@Kaol
Is it not 'pneumatic'?
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Thu 8 May 2008, 11:48, closed)

@CHCB
Especially if it's immediately before giving a blowjob.

Edit: OK, I am struggling to foresee the circumstances in which this could happen, but you never know.

Explain that one in A&E.

Almost as good as 'hoovering naked'

Yeah.
Whoops.

One of these www.nailers.co.uk/images/ace-0630-lg.gif .

Plug it into a compressed air line, and it fires headless thin nails.

Some guy here once fired one into his stomach.

I mean the organ not the area :\

It's "Pneumatic"...
... Trust me, I spend lots of my time working with FESTO. ;o)

@K2k6
it wasn't me wot dunnit, but it was like kissing someone with very scaly lips.

BUT, have the A-Team ever used one to make a rudimentary assault weapon that strangely manages to kill absolutely nobody?
(osok Rebel without a clue, Thu 8 May 2008, 11:53, closed)

@CHCB
That's just so wrong.


@Kaol I want one. I want one now.

And how stupid was the stomach guy?
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Thu 8 May 2008, 11:54, closed)

I'm not sure...
I liked the time they tied dynamite to hub-caps and made exploding frisbees.

That didn't kill anyone.

@PoD - He was pretty stupid. I may or may not be able to hit a can from the other side of the warehouse with one of those babies...
( Cawl, Thu 8 May 2008, 11:55, closed)

@CHCB
He's lucky he managed to prise his lips apart such they were usable for kissing, scaly or not.

On a related topic, I have today been making emergency repairs to my shoe soles using hot glue. It actually works very well to fill holes in the rubber thus preventing wet feet on rainy days.

However, I'm going to Germany tomorrow, and will have to buy a new pair of shoes as both my everyday pairs have home-made sole repairs which look suspiciously like I've been trying to hide something in there.

I don't see stinginess being accepted as a valid excuse by airport security!

@Kaol
I so hope you can hit them from afar. Like a nail sniper.

Awesome.

@K2k6 I tried to fix a cut in the side of my shoes with superglue. Didn't work so well, held for a day or so, then came apart again, and it's now almost 2 inches long.

Might have to buy some new ones soon.

PoD
I can... But for legal reasons I have to deny it...

About your shoe, superglue isn't good at being bent backwards and forwards, it'll snap.
Use hot-melt glue, or epoxy. They're much more flexible when dried.
( Cawl, Thu 8 May 2008, 12:06, closed)

I understand
I have to deny several things for legal reasons....

I was thinking either epoxy or a glue gun. Might look a bit strange walking into the uni workshop, taking off my shoe, gluing it then putting it back on though.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Thu 8 May 2008, 12:08, closed)

If you're at
An interesting uni, it won't look wierd.

Trust me.
( Cawl, Thu 8 May 2008, 12:09, closed)

Depends
What you class as an interesting uni.

Did you see my rant about health and safety earlier on? It refers to my particularly wonderful uni workshop. And to you.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Thu 8 May 2008, 12:10, closed)

Shoe repairs
Hot glue is better than epoxy. I tried the latter and it cracked.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Thu 8 May 2008, 12:13, closed)

I did see it...
But I was multi-tasking, so didn't reply.

By that I mean talking to happylittletulip and killing hookers on GTA.

Just do it.
Act first. Worry about fallout second. Run third.

You would appreciate the mention by name. And since you gave that advice, and you work in H&S, I am going to stick to it and blame you for anything that goes wrong.

OK...

Best excuse ever...
