I'm walking to the station and there's a chav shouting in the incoherent way that they do into a phone. I get closer and can hear "do it then I dare you. Do it now". 

He then starts doing all the chav hard man silly poses that they do and punches the person on the phone. Despite them not being there or not being able to see Mr hard or feel his 'powerful knockout punch.' I keep walking as he tells his opponent to stay down if he knows what's good for him.

Got overtaken by a speeding Audi with the Reg TWxxWAT well made me laugh.

I just love this flipping van, it got me up a massive gret hill with cars abandoned here and there and back down the other side, then I had a shower and a shit and a kip in it and the following morning drank some coffee and then drove straight to work. I think I gave spartacus off here £2100 for it - I don't think I've ever got nearly as much value out of any purchase in my life.

My Steve bell print. First thing I’ve ever bought that arrived in a wooden crate!

Number 34/50.  Maybe in a hundred years it may be worth more than I paid.

Don’t suppose they had any Ford imperial red by any chance?

Looks like the Range are trying to fill the gap left by Halfords reducing their paint range, so good for them. I have a can of that Ford Sierra Beige (not a colour used on the Ford Sierra, logically enough) right here as it's one of the colours I use for my model truck fleet.

Halfords in Swansea has Ford Roman Bronze and friends too — plus legendary BL hues such as Applejack and Pageant Blue.

Just stumbled across Flamin' Hot flavour Cheetos in Morrison's... haven't had those since I was last in Iowa...that was in 2009!

Many things I don't want to see arriving on our shores from the US...but personally this is something I'm quite happy to have found!

I needed some matting for the back of my van and found a guy on ebay selling stuff made from recycled tyres that was originally fitted under astro turf pitches.

It's a bit sandy but at £22 well under half the price of a chunk designed for stables.

Charlie the chunky Beagle was on hand to supervise the cutting to size.

That'll do nicely.

And had enough left over for the back of the car.

O, we don't flood in Henley-on-Thames doncha no?

No her madge's finest Jubilee River keeps all that nasty flooding in check down near Slough. Maybe some influential types who don't want their finest Wiltons getting mucky. If only those poor damp buggers in the rest of the country were as lucky, eh?

I bet he got out and thought thank fuck that fiat was there 

 

Doesn't work in all situations though

Straightened up and cleaned this little radio. Need to order some new parts to get it playing properly again. It's been around the world, spent many years in Africa and then came back to the UK. It's all worn out.

Edit: Also as an interesting historical side-note, if you look closely at the left hand scale, there's a couple triangles (between 6 and 7, and again between 10 and 14), which are very Cold War- those are the now defunct CONELRAD positions on the dial- if all the radio broadcast was to be shut down to prevent enemy aircraft using the transmitters as direction finders, those were the two common frequencies you could tune to in order to determine when imminent death was going to occur.

Stolen from Twatter, which was stolen from Faceache.

Wonder if the rear wiper motor seized up due to water ingress?

Wish I'd kept my best man on a lead too.

I passed my driving test 10 years ago today! 

I'm on my 12th car, which to my aunt seems alot, but on here I feel like I've got a very tiny dick...
