Well, that’s tonight’s entertainment sorted.

The best dollar I’ve spent in a while.

Worth watching some YouTube vids too, such as the Parkinson interviews.  Always preferred Les to Dame Edna?

Been there, done that! ? I’ve heard the album before, but never had the actual record.

I need to dig out my Betamax and watch Les Patterson Saves the World and The Adventure of Barry McKenzie again!

You don't have CCTV in the workshop do you

I do but the camera was pointing the wrong way! What a let down.

The close ups of your forearm and your rug reminds me of mould hyphae that grows on stale bread and rotting fruit. Fascinating, in an appalling way.

Picked up the wrong aerosol to spray on stuff when trying to get a fitting out of a casting with a hot air gun. I wasn't using "fire" so wasn't being careful.

Massive fireball, no hair left on either arm, my 5 oclock shadow and nose hairs were wiped out, but thanks to my glasses, other than a sore face I'm unscathed.

Learned a lesson. Need a haircut!

Ouch......i can smell that from here!

That's cheered up an otherwise pretty grim day, is there anything Henry can't do?

My razor broke and now the blades won't stay on. It's a grin rather than a grump because it's my Gillette Sensor razor that I bought in 1992 and it's more worn out than broken. I've been buying Sensor Excel blades for years because they stopped doing Sensor blades it's that out of date. 

I've upgraded to a Mach 3 razor so now I've got an unopened pack of 10 Sensor Excel blades that cost £12 and four other unused blades (see below) any one want them for £10 posted? Send me a message if interested.

About an hour ago one of my work colleagues knocked on the door and presented me with a 1 litre bottle of Mount Gay rum he'd bought back from seeing his parents in Barbados. I only put a comment on his Facebook to bring me a bottle back as a joke.

Just heard a horrendous noise.. sounded like somebody trying to drive a car on 3 wheels, 1 entire corner on the ground, sparks flying and all.

Looked out the window.

I was right. A white corsa. one rear wheel folded up into the arch.

I admire the determination to get home and all.... but ffs, some things just need parked. ?

I went for my 1st ever eye test yesterday at 47. I've been using pound shop plus 1.5 glasses to read, computer etc. £30 later and he said your long sight is perfect and you need 1.5 glasses to read.

The grin is that there are no health issues and the structure and everything else is bob on. It's a big relief for me to know. I've never been to the doctors for around 12 years.

I'm now thinking of splashing out on some proper glasses with glass in them for a change.  I wonder if it'll make a difference.

makes a change from the monkeys ripping the car apart ..  !!

Put a pair of varifocal safety specs through your business though.

This story from the US made me laugh. Wonder if something similar is possible with the dear old DVLA? https://mashable.com/article/dmv-vanity-license-plate-def-con-backfire/?europe=true&utm_source=Benedict's+Newsletter&utm_campaign=82fd79214f-Benedict's+Newsletter+300&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_4999ca107f-82fd79214f-70499869&mc_cid=82fd79214f&mc_eid=692c3e2763

Seems to me whoever wrote that software needs a bollocking. What kind of badly-written code equates the string "NULL" to an actual null value?

I tried bifocals years ago.  They were shit.

Recently talked into buying varifocals "They are so much better these days"

They too are shit.  I'm using my old, scratched specs still, instead of the new ones. ?

Scored some new michelins on ebay for £90. No one else bid for some reason. Delivered 2 days later, well under half price. £12 postage and my local tyre place charges a tenner to swap them. Just over £60 each supplied and fitted.
My old ones are still 1.5mm above the wear limit but I like to swap them early.

I posted in the grumpy thread yesterday about my car needing new discs and pads but do you know what? My local garage are brilliant. I rarely use the car but I do need it on Friday and they were able to fit me in despite being busy.

 

They're honest, too: I dropped the car off just now and there was a woman paying her bill ahead of me.

 

"We've done the MoT and service, nice little car with no problems at all. We didn't change the cabin filter because you've only done a few thousand miles with it so the price is a bit less than we agreed."

 

Go on - tell me the last time a job cost less than you were expecting! I'm not expecting any plumbing jobs to appear here

 

Flomar in Lewes (East Sussex) for anyone local.
