This is Hacker Public Radio Episode 4283 for Wednesday 1 January 2025.
|
|
Today's show is entitled Tollybone Repair.
|
|
It is hosted by Mr. X and is about 6 minutes long.
|
|
It carries an explicit flag.
|
|
The summary is, this is a quick episode about how I repaired vintage dog walking accessory.
|
|
Hello and welcome Hacker Public Radio Dance.
|
|
My name is Mr. X and welcome to this cheeky podcast.
|
|
I don't know what's happening but this is my tenth take or something like that.
|
|
I can't get my teeth to work for some reason.
|
|
Anyway, as usual I'd like to start by thanking the people HPR for providing this service to us all.
|
|
HPR is a community that podcasts a provided by the community for the community.
|
|
That means you could contribute to.
|
|
If we all gave a show, we'd have more shows than we'd know what to do with and it's very easy to send one in.
|
|
The HPR janitors and stuff have gone to a lot of effort to make this very easy for us to do.
|
|
You just had a cord button and something you've got, send it in and off you go.
|
|
I'm sure we'll be going with this episode.
|
|
So it's boxing day just now and I believe for a wee bit short and shows.
|
|
So I'm probably going to send this into the, what's it called, the reserve queue.
|
|
So yes, if you've got a show, send one in.
|
|
If you haven't done one this year, maybe the first one for this year, I don't know.
|
|
If you're also in shows that have more than know what to do with.
|
|
And if you don't send one in, you might get more of these at a DAF free shows.
|
|
So what's this show, what's it about?
|
|
So I have a Tully Boone as I call it, the Tully Boone.
|
|
And it's used when I go out walking with my four-legged companion.
|
|
You can look up the Scotsword to Tully if you're not sure what that means.
|
|
But it does come in extremely handy.
|
|
And it's quite an old Tully Boone.
|
|
The Hada, I'll send us some pictures so you can work with it if you don't google it.
|
|
And it has a holder that you can clip to your fellow companions' lead when you go out walking.
|
|
And I've had it for many years and it initially had a plastic clip on it and it broke.
|
|
And I think I fitted one of these with a carabiner, metal clip things.
|
|
So we fake when it's not a real sort of thing that a climber would use,
|
|
but it's a tiny miniature one of those.
|
|
And that lasted for a long, long time.
|
|
In fact, I think Mrs X said, oh, I think my granny was still alive when we bought that.
|
|
So it's very, very old. It's many years old.
|
|
And we were all nuts.
|
|
I couldn't repair that, I said.
|
|
So to actually know, the clip broke and I put that carabiner thing.
|
|
But then recently it broke again the actual clip that the whole, that the carabiner attached to,
|
|
that broke. And then hence Mrs X said, yeah, we're going to buy new one of those.
|
|
And I said, oh, we were all nuts, I couldn't repair that.
|
|
So I snapped off the remains of the clip that was on the body of the Tully Boone.
|
|
And they smoothed it out because it was a bit rough, catch on things.
|
|
And I drilled two small holes and then I pushed a cable tie through one hole,
|
|
attached another end, cut it off and on the other end as well.
|
|
So it created a hoop, a loop so that I could attach the carabiner thing to,
|
|
I think I should call it a carabiner.
|
|
I've got that wrong, it's a apologise.
|
|
But anyway, so actually I thought, well, there you go, I've solved it, that's fixed it.
|
|
But in actual fact, it hadn't, because the cable tie snapped shortly thereafter.
|
|
When my furry companion was unfurling his lugs by shaking violently after the walk,
|
|
I was landing on a pavement sort of thing. I couldn't believe it, there's one walk.
|
|
I thought, this isn't going to work. So I got a slightly thicker, I think it was a thicker
|
|
cable tie and it now works perfectly, I've had it for a good long while.
|
|
The only slight problem is that when you're fitting the new insert into, it tends to catch a bit,
|
|
so you can't fit a full bag dispenser thing in it, you've got to take one or two out and use them first.
|
|
But other than that, it solves a problem. So there you go, that's a five minute episode about
|
|
repairing my furry companion's tulibune. If you don't want to hear more of these sort of episodes,
|
|
why don't you send a show in? It's a apologise for it being a bit rough and ready, but there we go.
|
|
So I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a new year, and I don't know, I've got a chance
|
|
to post this, but to all the very best. If you want to contact me, I can be contacted at
|
