Indeed it is.  Any good stuff in the lab that could be put to use?

Loads, mate.

Calorimeter, viskomat, climate cabinet, Instron universal testing machine, geological microscope, XRF (these are mine), plus a whole bunch of other stuff for making cubes. Our cube crusher is from the 70s though!

How big is the climate cabinet?

(we replaced our cube crusher 3 years ago, old one was also from about '75)

1000 litres. It's a Kambic one - we chucked out our TAS one as it was mince. Bought in 2021.

Also has CO2 if you're looking to cure stuff in it.

Could be with the low emission zones predominantly affecting diesel and petrol vans, there have been a spate of write offs and unexplained thefts?

I look forward to 600 vehicles belonging to Glasgow City Council to mysteriously all get torched in the same depot.

I'm half expecting an interjection from our Texan correspondent. 

Maybe finally found a subject he doesn't know everything about. Or maybe his google is down.

Even more technologically advanced:

Curing Tanks | Controls Group

A couple of tin baths would be easier to source and then someone to weld it all together.

Waiting on some highly specialised very very important equipment coming at work. Was ordered in March and its supposed to be here early May. Still not here. Contacted the "go between c**t" and hes informed me that they orders will be here week 26-27 or week 30.

Just give me a delivery date you chuntering twat.

That’s sub-optimal, and sounds like they’ve adopted the auto industry approach. The last two-three years, when you order an item for a lot of vehicles, it can often be on back-order. The little ploy they’ve started doing is giving you a date 4-6 weeks out as the expected production/arrival date…then, when that arrives and the part doesn’t, “oh, sorry, production delay, it’s now due (insert new date 4 weeks out)”. Since 30th week would be the end of July…

Yep and yep.

I can check on the CO2 but we did buy it for curing mortar samples.

Right Sheldon and Leonard, Laboratory Geeks thread for this pish!

someone asks "are New Balance/Asics/Hoka/etc any good?"

how much you willing to spend/what type of shoe you looking for/is the shoe for running, walking, sky-diving etc etc?

might as well ask are shoes comfy........

If on social media it is obviously just for likes/comments, with the usual dullards responding suggesting trainer x he just bought for £25 are the comfiest things he has ever worn.....
