What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Fumbler]

Mishmash of Protect and Survive, other public information films, and a hint of Look Around You. It's brilliant I think.

From where to where?  Were there any restrictions at the border?

No restrictions just crossed the border by car and back. Said to be an outbreak in both Lisbon and Oporto.  Went to the airport but only saw two GNR (cops). One was smoking with his visor half up.?

Took eva to school this morning, and on the way I passed a skip with some bits outside. Got 2 things

One is this very comfy chair

I'm sat in it now and it's ideal for taking to the fod/here and there. 

There is another thing but ive not got that out the car yet

Free beer if you can get to NE22.
I'll serve.

[beko1987]

2nd find! 

Little bit of mouse nibblage underneath

Missing one of the retaining nuts though

But my stepdad said he would see what he has in his box of stuff, and my plan B is 2 tidy 10mm nuts and bolts, set it to dead flat, and drill 2 holes, then always take a 10mm ratchet with me when setting it up. 

The cover is just about to come out of the washing machine, if it survives ill crack on. I've wanted one for ages, having slept on one before they are mega comfy. If I can get a free one going enough for occasional use that will do! 

[Floatylight]

Wonder if he gets many takers?

Bed thing is fucking comfy! The cover survived a 45 minute 30 degree wash fine, so I put the cover back on the frame as it'll dry better being stretched a bit, and bodged the broken pivot with cable ties temporarily and I've been lying down on it for half an hour, oops! 

Saved £120 too looking online even if I just end up bolting the pivot together and assembling on each use.

My old man found my old Minolta Zoom-8 cine camera. Battery holder is bad and it appears to still have film in. God only knows what's on the film, I think it was in there when I bought it. 

Know anywhere that develops super-8 film still?

Have you a vernier to measure the thread? There's bound to be a generic substitute. That said given the retail price it's worth contacting the maker to see if they sell bits.

perhaps one for @1970mgb maybe? I know he does quite a bit with film photography so perhaps he knows a place that can do Super 8 film still?  (or knows of someone who might know!)

Italians know how to do it properly and with style.

[Borsuq]

Working on cars, even if it's doing really small jobs, always puts me in a good mood. Went on a small supplies run, gave the Polonez 3 new wiper blades and blew the air filter out with a compressor. Filter looked pretty much new, but was full of dandelion seeds.

Gonna have to get round to giving it an oil change one of these days. Oil is pretty fresh, but I'm not that happy to run it on 15w40, which is what the previous owner put in it. I think 10w40 or even 5w40 will be more suitable.

If that's anything to do with the YouTube channel of the same name, I must find out what they did with their Citroën SM  as it has all gone quiet over there. 

[eddyramrod]

Saw this on Monday...

I would guess it was blown here by some of the winds we've been having.  Had quite a good view down into the cabin, where even the coffee cups on the table were still upright and undamaged!  That alone made me smile.

It is, the SM has been in the background of some of the last few updates but hasn't been mentioned. That doesn't mean nothing has happened to it though.

No I've not got anything to measure it, so it'll be a crap shoot. 

I'll wait until I get paid and see if I can get a replacement part first, I've found another place that does 'spares', then plan B. 

Realised I need the thing assembled properly as the frame sits a bit bent, so the cover isn't on as straight as it should be. But that's fine, it's put away now for another day. 

Sitting on my other chair as I type though, it's mega confy

Get a small piece of paper and wrap it round the thread. Give it a good squeeze and some slight rotation, and you'll have a perfect sample to take to the hardware shop.
