Was thinking about getting this particularly as a tyre inflator for the car and caravan.

Any thoughts?

£100 seems a bit OTT - aren't cheaper devices available for that sort of usage?

I have a similar one, I find it useful. I also have a couple of 12V pumps, one in my wife's car and one in the caravan, but none of them seem to last if they are used regularly.

I suppose it depends how many tyres you have to blow up, or if you have other uses. I do three cars and the caravan at the same time with a 20 metre airline.

Oh hey that sounds like fun Manatee ! I'd like a 20m airline attached to a compressor. I've been wondering about the best way to deal with next door's cat when comes to crap in my hedge. That'd sort it once and for all ! Here kitty kitty...

Do you mean 'No country for old men'?
The captive bolt pistol used in the film would certainly discourage kitty.Maybe a little OTT.

I suspect they don't like it up 'em.

I have a paraffin gun as well. Haven't tried it yet but might work for cleaning the bike if I load it with the citrus degreaser. Or on the cats.

It is possible to buy dried lion dung at some garden centres. This makes UK moggies thing there is something much bigger around. Another device is a garden spray on a pole with a movement sensor so cat gets sprayed on arrival. I was going say motion sensor and spayed instead of sprayed but I thought might perceived as vulgar so I didn't!

Cats don't seem to like getting wet.

The problem is they're so damn fast, but once you get them it is a suitable deterrent (even Pat may approve).

Would you like to have a small wager on that?

You've lost that one Duncan:)

A washing up liquid bottle filled with clean water is the best deterrent for a cat, only their pride gets hurt!

But why anyone would want to.......

To prevent the unconscionable little swine from crapping in my herb garden. Even a cat lover could understand that, surely?

I'm allergic to the blasted things, don't even have to eat a whole one for it to affect me.

That hair regrowing potion Minoxodil/Rogaine/Regaine? or similar sees cats off for good.
