  1. Could I have some information on the Escort please via PM if it will be for sale?
  2. Selling. I will be keeping the blue MG 1100 and the roof rack off the Fiat and the remainder will be roffled. £1.50 a ticket or 4 for £5. If someone would like to kindly run the roffle they can have 4 tickets for free.
  3. The parcel has been received. Hoping to go through it tonight if I get chance. £8 postage and they only live a couple of miles away!
  4. Yeah I’ve seen that but don’t fancy it! There’s one with chips in too 🤮 I’ve also seen Christmas dinner in a can but don’t think it’s real.
  5. A colleague has just mentioned that he picked up a full english Fray Bentos pie from B&M!
  6. I ordered a not cheap kitchen from B&Q on the 24th October but it only arrived on Saturday as one particular cupboard was out of stock. One of the smaller plastic pieces received was broken into 2 so I went to B&Q the same day to arrange a replacement which arrived today (delivered by them) broken into 3 pieces 😂 Also, my dad’s a time served joiner and he ordered it and he’s fitting it. When he’s gone through the stuff that’s been delivered he’s realised the young lad he dealt with in B&Q has ordered a lot of wrong parts and the correct replacements will only arrive on the 20th December 😩 I’ve got over £700 pound back so far though for the incorrect parts!
  7. I only bought them for this... The rest can go in a vice 😆
  8. I’ll check when they arrive 👍🏻
  9. I paid for a job lot off eBay last night, buy it now. Any 'gems' amongst them (these weren't my era so not fully clued up on them)?
  10. I've heard of women flashing the clam to the driver via the rear-view mirror.
  11. I've been meaning to start this topic for a while, not sure if something similar already exists. I know there's a couple of taxi drivers on here, past and present. Do you have any interesting stories to share? My taxi journeys are pretty mundane but I always try to make small talk, I just hate awkward silences. I try to go beyond the usual 'have you been busy' and 'what time do you finish' bollocks. I've had a couple of journeys with the Mrs in the past where we've been properly pissed and cannot even remember getting home 😬 Anyway, a quick story from me as a passenger from a couple of years ago. Not too far from home and the taxi driver indicates and is about to turn down a one way street. I let him know before he does so and he simply says 'no problem' and spins the car around and proceeds to reverse at about 30 MPH the full length of the street!
  12. I thought Pete Doherty had a Jag?
  13. Could you undo the bags and put all the ones you want into one bag 😁
  14. I’ve just spent the last 4 days doing a 1000 piece jigsaw and today I finished it but there was 5 twicers 😩
  15. Some quality* die-cast found in the 2p machine yesterday. Put £4 worth in a different machine but came away empty handed.
  16. I'm thinking that's a re-paint. The bumpers appear to have had a touch of black paint and is that orange on the wheel?
  17. I visited the hospital to attend an appointment last year which was the first appointment I was aware of. When it was my turn to see the nurse she was a bit funny with me about missing my 2 previous appointments. It was the first I'd heard. Do they make you an appointment but fail to notify you. Another one, a year or two ago, I received an NHS letter one day and when I opened it it was for an appointment for 2 days before.
  18. That’s tremendous! How big is it? Swap for a plastic Ritmo?
  19. Why, just WHY! FFS Imagine them in the motor factors explaining what they wanted 😆
  20. Was talking about this film before in work. Years ago I got free tickets to watch a play of it in the local theatre. The prop used in the main car scenes was an XR3i convertible!
