Coprolalia Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 They're also bad long term as lack of use will weaken the muscles and worsen arthritis symptoms.When I was GPing I would tell the old dears to get rid. Mr A Lawrence and purplebargeken 2

xtriple Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 I went to the 'pain clinic' a few years ago and there was a locum instead of the usual blike, this 'locum' (he was about 65 and utterly useless) spent the entire time trying to sell us one of these wonder machines that would cure me entirely for £3K. Told him we were skint and concentrate on his job rather than try to flog tacky crap. I do get 'cranky' when I hurt lots. Todays grin: I just went and bought electrickery on the key (saves bills ) and got home and went to put the key in the meter, £00.02 left! Talk about cutting it fine!
Parky Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Mr Lawrence, quality work there! The very ethos of the forum! eddyramrod and Mr A Lawrence 2
fordperv Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Well it's handed over, Thought she was going to have a heart attack The Moog, yellowperil, DSdriver and 27 others 30
vulgalour Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 That's the happiest picture I've seen in ages. I found the mystery graunchy noise on the Princess today. It's just the exhaust knocking on something, so that'll get fixed when the new exhaust bit arrives sometime this week. purplebargeken and Cavcraft 2
beko1987 Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Now see how fast she can drive it until the balloon vanishes! purplebargeken, stonedagain, DSdriver and 1 other 4
Exiled_Tat_Gatherer Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 The shitehawk has landed, at last (7yr old has already claimed it as his car!).......... once I find the original SD1 delivery thread - I'll update and keep it all in one place. (Search sukks! and I've lost the bookmark somewhere) FLat tyre - bollox...... She wouldn't fire up though - to be investigated tonight.New garage leased so a big move to sort in the coming week(s) - grin as it should fit 5 cars at once - grump is there's a shitload of stuff to move to get going! purplebargeken, CGSB, Coprolalia and 12 others 15
Cavcraft Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 It's cleaned polished and everything is in place they are 20 miles away 20180305_125047.jpg That's a brilliant photograph (the handed over one) and as our besty Vulgalour pointed out, the happiest picture in ages. A young female relative of mine took her car to a 'well known' chain or car purchasers recently. She hadn't told them about the EML being lit, so they offered £1,200 less than they said. Anyhow, a new appointment came, we stopped round the corner first, plugged the FCR in and the light went out and stayed out during the inspection. beko1987, Exiled_Tat_Gatherer and dome 3
Exiled_Tat_Gatherer Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Just sent the GF the photo's of the Lada - she's half French, half Polish...... and she loves it. I think this evening I may be able to explain me being MIA on my brithday to collect a £50 T5 estate....... here's hoping.If I don't show up online tomorrow - check all nearby ditches!

We also got mrs fp aunty over from Holland as a surprise for her mum, so shortly after the car was handed over mrs fp aunty from Holland walked in with one of her other aunties and it all erupted again, she deserves it chodweaver, SierraMikeHotel, DeeJay and 11 others 14

Roobarb Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Remembering the advert, (because of some of the songs) and then watching it on YouTube. ^^^ May contain some sheep in a Renault 5.Baa Baa Baaa BaBaBaran! Hang on sloopy! Clever Trevor! Parky, Tadhg Tiogar and Datsuncog 3
Parky Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 The old "What's yours called?" Campaign. That was a good one! I remember one where Nicholas Parsons was driving one like a loon around a car park. Just as he was about to reverse into a post with the door open a guy woke up and yelled "SARAH!!!" prompting his partner to ask who Sarah was. This advert would invariably have been followed by one for Insignia After Shave or Gino Ginelli ice cream so would place it around 1987. "Insignias got everything, shampoo to shower gel, deodorant and after shave, the one all over smell" Those of a certain age will be humming that all day. You're welcome! Roobarb and Tadhg Tiogar 2
AlabamaShrimp Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Bit of a long drive from 'Bradford' for chips http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05zd5xg Its one of Wakefields more expensive chippys but they are nice you just have to make sure to ask for them in paper not those stupid boxes! Bonus fact! That bloke taking the order used to drive a Mini. God only knows where he put his wheelchair in it.
oldcars Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Got a couple of phones on Gumtree. Chap texts asking if it still for sale. Yes, he replies he is more than happy with the £80 asking price. Can he collect now. Text address and he pops round 30 mins later. No twixs, no deep fat fryers, no posting to Uncle Bert in Whales. I could hardly believe it. eddyramrod, somewhatfoolish, clayts450 and 1 other 4

At secondary school in music class we had to revamp Christmas carols for a project. We did 'Oh Little town of Bethlehem' to the tune of the Insignia advert. Went in pretty much perfectly. I still sing my version at Christmas rather than the boring original. Tadhg Tiogar and somewhatfoolish 2

Datsuncog Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 ^^^ This is one of those that ad jingles that likes to escape from long-term storage and pop itself onto a neverending mental loop at about 3am every couple of years. I'm guessing I'm about to be stricken by another bout of it in around 14hrs time... Tadhg Tiogar and Parky 2
Exiled_Tat_Gatherer Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Perry Mason, Case of the desperate deception, they're in France........ Espace Mk1, 3 wheeler, Uno, Mini - loads of chod in the chase scene....... plus a very young Kim Thomson - what's not to like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC0fcaQ4YsU Edit - maybe in the Ebay moments - but not really all car related... so wasn't sure - sorry Mods.

fordperv Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Was at the gym earlier and a lad I went to college with who I had a lot to do with his old man as he was a proper old school mechanic we knew (got to know his son by accident) he walked in with his dad, why did this make me grin I hear you cry, the last time I saw the lad and asked about his old man he told me he was ok physically but is battling with dementia, when I went to say hello his face lit up started laughing and smiling gave me a huge hug then pulled a couple of spanners out of his coat pocket fiddling with them as he was talking to me, his lad said do you remember him to which his reply was "How could I forget him" him and his lad didn't stop beaming It made my day Mr A Lawrence, alf892, dome and 21 others 24
