fraser.innes.3 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I actually have a cortina void bush removal tool. Crazy or what? Did your dad make that? Banger Kenny, UltraWomble and beko1987 3
New POD Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Considering the entirely unwarranted personal attacks levied against my by a small core of vile bullies, I think ive been remarkable constrained and polite. I doubt any of them would have the balls to stand in front of me and be so vile. Baffles me why people get off being a cunt on the internet. I am a Cunt in Real Life, but kind and friendly on t'tinernet. I learnt to Weld aged 18 whilst a HND student in Engineering at Coventry (Lanchester) Polytechnic, where every Wednesday morning we would walk down to Coventry Technical College, Butts Road Annex, where we would be taught fabrication and welding. Then aged 19 I did my year in industry, where one of my projects was to make a projection welding machine, weld 2 pieces of component together in stainless, and another was to devise a better method of controlling an automated tig process, and another was designing a way of repeatable way of testing the strength of a weld sample at the start and end of shift. Later as a Chartered Engineer in Lucas I got involved in electron beam welding and laser welding, and for fun I learnt how to lead load (at Nuneaton Technical College in Evening classes. I borrowed my brother in laws mig welder and replaced sills, A panels, one wing and the whole front panel on a mini, but To be honest it was not a great job. Then nothing for 18 years, when I replaced the back of the sills on a mk3 cavalier, as practise for the same on the mx5. I used a gasless mig, which lets face it is about as shit as it gets, but patience and a grinding wheel, and more patience results in something structurally sound. Quite frankly, I'd pay someone decent money if I could trust them not to bodge the job. brickwall 1
beko1987 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 That looks like one of those tools that sits around getting in the way and being useless 99% of the time, until the 1% of the time it saves the day like a champ! I like tools like that...
Pillock Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 It's like that a bit, but we have a secretary who wears a mini skirt and she has her glasses on the end of her nose and puts her little finger in the corner of her mouth a lot.Why do I have a horrible mental image of Trigger in a mini skirt?

scaryoldcortina Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Did your dad make that? No, my dad was a teacher I found it in the boot of a cortina I bought once, and figured out what it was for while changing the void bushes it failed its MoT on. fraser.innes.3 1

garbaldy Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Also, while we're on the subject of being twats, I never apologised for teling you to sod off last year, garbaldy...Sorry that was rude and un called for.Did you? I can't remember that but then again I've been called far worse so probably glazed over it. Partridge 1
Partridge Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I think my actual words were "In the nicest possible way, sod off."
xtriple Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I thought 'Old Fart' was one of the regulars taking the wee wee! No? When I was active in the TRF I was asked to write a letter for the newsletter that was a bit ' angry of South Devon' and so I did and really played it up and enjoyed every minute of it. The secretary liked it so much he posted it on the forum and then gave me a second log in and ID... ooooo the trouble! As the posts got more and more angry I responded in ever more ridiculous and outrageous ways so that someone would twig it was a wind up... Very few did! Even after I 'outed' myself for the fiendish perp' some folk still went on and on about this guy. It was fun for a while but quickly got tiresome.... Banger Kenny 1
Louise2cv Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Well. This is a bit weird.Radio 2, Vanessa Feltz sits in for Jeremy Vine and discusses PREPPING. A coincidence? Or is Old-fart really a man of influence?Anyhoo, tune in, and if we hear someone raging about gold bullion, we might be able to put a voice to the posts. pompei, Uncle Jimmy, John F and 1 other 4
xtriple Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Didnt know you were a TRF man !I was indeed.Love the lanes, the gentle amble through the countryside, smoking my pipe, stopping every few minutes to take pictures of pretty things Or, riding my trusty Husky with a load of loonies all intent on running over you when you inevitably fall off... Trying to read the sat nav and negotiate a rut a foot deep while never 'footing' . I was quite active down here and used to lead out rides most weekends. As is my way, I made myself unpopular and was a complete prick (backed someone who was completely wrong and was never really forgiven even though I changed sides pretty sharpish) and while I stayed in and did my bit, the love had gone. Couple that with the fairly strict warning from the Doctor that one more off and I'd be in for a ride in a helicopter, I gave it all up. Absolutely fantastic group of people, great organisation and I hope they succeed in keeping the lanes 'open'. explosive-cabbage 1

UltraWomble Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 You are all bastards I'm sat here giggling so hard they have called lone of the psych doctors to come and see me.What do I tell him?Sorry doc it was this thread about welding on a white car forum where someone posted a picture of Trigger in a miniskirt outside the staffroom.Oh aye. They will be getting the largactil ready before I've finished that sentence Banger Kenny, trigger, Craig the Princess and 1 other 4
garethj Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I learnt to Weld aged 18 whilst a HND student in Engineering at Coventry (Lanchester) Polytechnic, where every Wednesday morning we would walk down to Coventry Technical College, Butts Road Annex, where we would be taught fabrication and welding.Me too, the weekly bus trip to Tile Hill was a pleasant change from walking into the middle of Cov. I think I was there around 1990, 91 but things are pretty hazy. I do remember that I started at Cov Poly but by the time I'd finished my HND and Degree it was a university. Good work on the banning, if the Facebook group teaches us anything it's that keeping the mong quotient manageable is very important.
