nowt wrong with a bit of frivolity, but as I am new here and you might think I am making it up......

You Brits have some lovely, lovely words. What can you tell us about "Rorting?"

 

[Bri in Chi]

So, when it's finished, it's linished? That makes sense.
Your gonna get along just fine in the cantina

Thank you for the in-depth linisher seminar. You have added a new vocabulary word to the cantina cannon. Stick around a while and you'll see it propagate prodigiously I promise. You may live to regret this, but that depends on your sense of humor and tolerance for sarcasm, and longevity. I think you might possibly be up to it. We are always testing each other here. The average grade is "C +."
BTW, Do you know what "gobsmacking" means?

 

[Thomas Linton]

Is it only the British who linish? Nooooooooooo. They do it in Oz as well.

That's very interesting! Over here (in the colonies ) we just call them belt grinders or belt sanders. Here's the one I use. http://www.cootebeltgrinder.com/index.html

Linisher = Linear Finisher?

Of course we don't use them for sanding or grinding our belts. So it is a bit of a misnomer on our part.

Here is one linisher of mine, recently modified to run so slow that I can see the grit on the belt, almost Notice the sheave arrangement. The motor runs a 1725 RPM so it really crawls with great torque. A much safer way to linish, IMO. - Having almost lost a thumb to this machine years ago :grumpy:

Well I am gobsmacked that linishers did reach the colonies, but you forgot what to call them. I guess one guy got too close and took the eagle off his Harley Davidson belt buckle so he called a belt sander and the name stuck?

Never heard of 'rorting'. Would that be something like snorting in the raw?

I like 'Linear Finisher'. So the last man on the production line with the finest grit be the 'linisher finisher'. And if it was the footballer, crisp (chip) salesman he would be 'Gary Lineker the linisher finisher'. Try saying that after 20 bottles of Budweiser, or 8 bottles of real beer like Molson Canadian

Welcome to the Cantina/Psycho Ward Andrew. You're already one of the bunch.
I can see you can hold your own safely and with tacked, er tact.

Molson Canadian is okay. I never turn down a free beer. I drank a Newcastle Brown Ale a while back and found it quite good.
The Alaskan Amber found in a few states is enough to move to Alaska for.
