Painting a panel that has been scrupulously de-greased, a fish eye appears in the paint yet any over spray will stick everything else in the workshop perfectly?
A load tied with a rope works lose, yet the same rope left on its own in a box will tie its self in knots
Gremlins or Dark Forces?

why in your box of odd nuts and bolts is there always one less than you need.
any irregular shaped object, when dropped, will go down the only hole in the floor and yet a perfectly formed golf ball will try to avoid doing the same thing. |

Not only ropes are self - knotting ....
portable tool cables, download and extension leads do exactly the same .....
and we've got one of those gremlins in the workshop that hides tools, and peices of the job that you have spent time working on ...... once about a third of a railway carriage side hid itself in plain sight ! _________________ Saluton. mi estas fervojistino, kaj vi?

| It all due to that bl@@dy bloke Murphy and his laws. Same ones that say that toast always falls butter side down and even on a day when there is not a cloud in the sky, it will rain the moment you finish painting the gate etc etc |

They are guaranteed to land on the wet bit, aren’t they?  _________________

Ha ha... I can relate to that, a couple of years ago with the original 2k paint, flies couldn't get within 10 feet of a car when its was being painted, they would just drop dead, with this new 2k EU compliant stuff they buzz round the car as happy as Larry, and then land of the bit that's just been painted
Something else to blame the EU for!!!  |
