the first bit is related to the fact I have a big book of Engineering facts nuts and bolts ,,you name it

its what I do

The second bit is related to the fact that my nearly ex * if it happens again she will be )

fed me some sort of Italianate food

when everyone knows after a nite on the piss ,,,you need eggs and bacon

if you want to , post a clear picture (close up ) of the break in the bolt and we can tell you how it failed also a side picture to to see if the bolt has stretched

Metal when it fails gives you a complete history of itself and they can even trace a failure of an aircraft down to a small crack millimeters long
