Spooky. I was about to type the very same about you.

Wahay!

I haven't played this game since I was about six.

My turn then.

No, you're the weirdo.

A fundamental consideration in the gear design process is the gear profile or technically, Gear Tooth Profile. Now, there are two types of Gear Profiles, which we will study in which the Involute gear profile is used preferably by engineers.

The gears you see in the gearbox of your cars, in rotary parts of robots, and even in toys are designed using the Involute Gear Profiles. There is another profile used in mechanical watches and clocks known as Cycloidal Gear Profile.

The Herringbone Gear is my favourite I reckon

From war-torn Vietnam and Kurdistan of course.

My eye was immediately drawn to that one too Sweep. Lovely isn't it?

Quite like the worm gear.

If only because worms are ace!

It does beg the question if you can afford 25k to move, then that may get you a decent chunk of a house in Vietnam? 

Might set up an office out there.

Much outdated mate. You only see them around now for replacement parts for ancient models. Improvements in bearing technology over the decades put paid to the need for gears which produce no axial thrust. Single helicals are much simpler (and therefore cheaper) to produce.

Disappointed that they include spiral bevels but no mention of hypoid and zerol.

Understandable in your case matey. The gearing equivalent of the Ford Model T.

That comment could be taken several ways. What do you think she's saying?

Seems like there are some decent Labour MP’s after all. Or has he been ‘radicalised’ by the far right?

They never had it.  25k is money they owed to the traffickers for getting them to the UK and paid back via years of menial, illegal or sex work. 

Non swimmers, getting in a packed dingy to cross one of the coldest and busiest shipping lanes in the world.  People that desperate and reckless weren't giving up because of a ridiculous, ham-fisted, unworkable, Rwanda scheme.

I doubt they knew of the scheme.
