    Of course - you let yourself become a target when you entered the fray on dry Weetabix. You only have yourself to blame Dave! ;P

          Excuse me. I eat all my cereal dry. I particularly like crushed up (to a powder) Weetabix mixed with a couple of spoonfuls of sugar. :)

            It was just the one that got stuck! Mate fixed it though, with the help of a tungsten carbide hole saw and 4 hours of mind numbing drilling on the nut.

                    Diamond. :-D That is why it took 4 hours with even a drill with tungsten carbide tip. That also explains why he paid so much for his car.

                              I much prefer dryer cereal to the toxic sludge produced by milk, and I also happen to like dry Weetabix with sugar, but for practical reasons I normally lubricate it just a little, with yoghurt. It doesn't soak in and make soggy.

                                        I don't know, By I tried to drill them with normal titanium drill bits (new never used ones) and it barely made a dent in the surface.
