Tayne Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Got to be a fellow Sheffielder as they are definitely Vic Hallam houses. Grew up in one on the Scowerdons. Just an empty field now where ours was.Aberdeen actually. The houses are a little more interesting than those but presumably from the same time period, mine was built in 1970.The original tennant bought it off the council in 2006 and lived here until he died earlier this year.

Tamworthbay Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Saw a dark red Mk1 Cortina estate today, it was driven by a guy in his early 20s and judging from how it moved and sounded it had been breathed upon more than a little. Back end was full of stuff so good to see it earnings it’s keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadhg Tiogar Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Yep. Drive down there quite a bit taking the shortcut from coisley hill roundabout to frecheville. Makes me sad to look around but it was really run down by the time the area was cleared. Wonder if that's now going to be left as open parkland, or have new developments built on it?

purplebargeken Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 For some reason this popped up on youtube. I haven't seen this since I was a kid. I remember watching this on TV in Germany. Lovely to see it again It makes me smile but also a little sad as my sister, mum and dad pee'd themselves laughing at this. Sadly all three are now gone. Damn Yay for Miss Sophie and James. myglaren, STUNO, Skizzer and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve only heard of it through a Paul Merton series on black and white films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Yes, it is hugely popular in Germany around Christmas, or was anyhow. I could email my brother in law and just say 'Miss Sophie' and he would instantly crack up Nice to see it but very bittersweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 The more I think about Dinner for One', the more puzzled I am, there was no reason for this to pop up on youtube, I've been watching Hope for Paws and Hubnut videos.

Pillock Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Saw a smiley transit earlier. The drivers side front wing was gaffer tape. Top to bottom, front to back, no visible metal.... Just carefully arranged black gaffer tape. Really neat though, the shape was perfect. purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skizzer Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Yes, it is hugely popular in Germany around Christmas, or was anyhow. It’s still going strong - although it’s New Year rather than Christmas. For Christmas it’s Drei Nüsse für Aschenbrödel, a rather camp Czech Cinderella film from the early 1970s. It’s sort of equivalent to the Sound of Music only not a musical, and without any Nazis for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Ah, thought it was one or t'other. I was only a kid when I saw it last. Drei Nüsse für Aschenbrödel - never heard of that. Now something to watch later in the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Was cut up yesterday by a Peugeot 307 with the number plate EN15 FCE. It looked like Penis face. I lol’d. I was also overtaken by a Mazda Xedos 9 yesterday which must have been the first one I have seen since 1998. Made me wonder where all the Xedos 6’s went too...

Parky Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Anyway in other news.... Three of the Leon’s doors had stopped opening on the remote. It wasn’t an issue if it was just me as I could access the car with the key, but if I had passengers it wasn’t very convenient having to reach back to open one of the back doors from the inside. Plus if you can’t open the doors from the outside, it’s an MOT fail. Some research suggested it was the actuators in the doors that were playing up. Replacement is fiddly and I couldn’t be arsed with all that. But then I stumbled across this vid https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qWYkjlcR1Ws Drill a small hole in the actuator? Fill it with WD40? I was somewhat cynical but it only bloody worked!. All it cost me was the skin on three knuckles grappling with brittle sharp edged trim, the lugs of which are now greased up to make future removal easier. Super cheap quick fix but Christ my hands hurt now! somewhatfoolish, catsinthewelder, DeeJay and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remspoor Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 ^^^^^^ watching that video makes me cringe. Why use a screw driver it can damage the plastic. for few pennies/cents purchase a set of these. oldcars, myglaren and adw1977 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I actually do have a set of those so didn’t do any damage to the trim. I know what you mean though. Surprised he didn’t suggest lubing the clips to make future removal easier because this fix isnt a permanent one so the trim will be coming off again in a few months. Nothing worse than pulling at a ten year old piece of plastic, undisturbed since leaving the factory and wondering if the clip will yield or snap as you remove it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
