New POD Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 It is now 10:30 in the morning and apart from te odd foray outside for a wee, both dogs are still under the duvet with me! They have changed sides though and I now have the 'bum' end of both rather than the more acceptable 'licky' end, but they have kept me warm all night. It is absolutely pissing down and there is shopping I need (Jumbones for one - angry and hungry dogs sleeping under my duvet may not be a happy experience!) and I still have no transport. Do I wait until it's raining less and try to fix one of the cars or get a taxi a couple of miles, or admit to one of my friends that I am a pathetic arse and beg for a lift? Decisions must be made!Lickey End? Between Bromsgrove and Longbridge ? M'coli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 At my Dads, with my Sisters and Step-sister and brother rooting through a packed and well filled drinks cabinet with full bottles of the usual suspects at the front, but a lot of bottles of 'I don't know what' at the back... One of the bottles at the back of the cabinet was 'Lovage - 5.3% vol' which according to the label needs brandy for it to be okey dokey... I then find a quarter of a bottle of Tesco Napoleon Brandy at the back of the cabinet... Lovage and Brandy is for WINNAZ!!! :-D :-D ..........

beko1987 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Was the charity tractor run today in town, and of the 1000 or so that went past, the best was some old 70s one, looked like shit and as he went past he made a bit of a gap in front and booted it, emitting the most wonderful clag cloud! clayts450 and LightBulbFun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyrew Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Receiving this picture of my scuffy Suzuki, It's been on a driveway in east London Somewhere whilst I did work on a person's sj who's got health problems. His was stored there before so a switch of vehicles whilst I worked on his made sense. Sadly the quick turn around on his sj has turned into a year waiting for a part. In that year my sj has attracted some unwanted interest from undesirable people and it became a concern that it may end up going missing or being vandalised. I asked a mate if he could help me and today he went and collected it and has taken it to some secure storage near him.It seems it's been damaged by local youths and the keys lost so he cut the steering but it's safe now.

Datsuncog Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I was idly thinking earlier that the overcoat I wear to work in winter is looking a bit threadbare, and with the pockets now worn into holes, I probably ought to be thinking about a replacement. It was just a cheap thing out of Next and I've been wearing it for ten years, so there's no sin for it (as my grandmother would have said). I followed MrsDC into some hellish vintage-retro-steampunk store in Belfast earlier on, the sort I used to frequent myself back in the day but have eschewed for many a long year because they became infested with naught but modern retro-flavoured tat, at eye-watering prices. I left with an original, hand-stitched Crombie overcoat in nearly new condition (one loose button). For £3. THREE POUNDS, PEOPLE. FOR A CROMBIE. I'm in shock.

Saabnut Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Courier turned up when he said he would, did not complain about my track, loaded 5 wheels and a Vauxhall engine in and still smiling. Reckoned wheels would be at destination (Preston) later today and engine in Bristol Wednesday. This guy mostly transports antiques, so is very careful, and will happily take fragile stuff like body panels or glass. Based in NE Scotland but covers the country, happy to pass on details. So rare to be grinning about a courier! chadders, wuvvum, LightBulbFun and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobthebeard Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 The Honda Accord was clearly in a good mood this morning. No clunks whatever from the suspension and the clicking/creaking clutch pedal was as silent as a fish on the way to work.I washed the car yesterday, so maybe that helped. purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
