It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...

Disco has another MOT. Advisory is a bit of a "but it's fucked really!!!!!!!"

I've not crawled under it recently, but I'm sure it only had the usual chassis rear end slow dissolve. Haven't got it back yet, but where else do disco 2's corrode? MOT man covering his back if I flog it?

I saw a red squirrel this morning whilst out with the dog. Never seen one before. 

Where do you live. 

There's loads in the woods in L37 on the North West Coast .  So many that I was surprised to see a grey one on a Walk at Alderley Edge. Didn't realise that they were so big.

Are you sure they aren't foxes?

If I was a fox I'd disguise myself as a red squirrel ,given the amount of pricks on horses running round chasing me

Grey ones ? Definitely not the right colour.  More possum than canine.

Decided to go wild camping for the first time last night - Up on Kinder Scout. I know we're not supposedly allowed out of the house blah blah blah

Lugging 18kg of stuff up there in the dark was a slog but it was such a clear night, the view of Mancheste r was amazing. I've been up there dozens of times but never been able to see as far as this.

The lack of cloud cover does have is disadvantages, It was -7! I reckon it is the coldest I have ever been in my entire life. Absolutely worth it though, I will do it again soon.

 A few years ago, myself and a workmate Geoff were sitting in a van eating lunch. Jeremy Vine was on the radio talking to some squirrel expert about red and grey squirrels and the expert said there are extremely rare black squirrels but he had never seen one. 

Geoff says to me, there's one in that bloody tree over there! 

He was right, we sat and watched for a while, there were 3 or 4 of them!

Everyday is a school day etc.

They look a bit like rats with bushy tails to me though.

There's black squirrels all over the bloody shop in America.  Big fuckers too.

Just spotted this for sale if anyone needs an egg white separator

Today I was cheered up by a Landrover Defender.
It was very shiny and made a fantastic throbby noise as it left the traffic lights in a brisk but not undignified manner.

Being curious I plumbed the number plate into some websites (DVLA and carbaba), "Petrol 6162cc" ?
Shirley there is a mistook, 6.2 litres ?

No, you can get your Defender to become Corvette powered https://www.neneoverland.co.uk/special-vehicles/6-2-ls-v8-conversion/
FITTED PRICE at Nene Overland £34,995+vat

The extra grin ?
It was signwritten as a plumbers van!

I MoT most of these beasts.Because of the fancy automatic gearboxes they fit I don't put them in the brake rollers , instead have to drive them to test the brakes with a decelerometer. People always look when I hit the loud pedal . If the exhaust exits just below the middle of the rear crossmember then it is LOUD.

My dad tells a story of helping a new colleague decorate their house - late 1960s. Painting the living room, glen, the art teacher did a quick “ Rolf Harris” mural on the wall in brown paint. Apparently it took a dozen or so coats of white paint and ten years before you couldn’t see it.

When I was 18, over summer I fitted my nan a new kitchen and bathroom. I covered all the bathroom and a lot of the kitchen with that shite plastic T+G wood effect cladding from wickes. Every single panel is stuck on the wall with a cock and bollocks drawn in no-nails.

Watching UFO on britbox 

You know when a modern Sci-fi show finishes it takes 5 minutes for the credits to roll past because there's 60 people in each department 

Not on UFO

Derek pulls the strings and Bob tells him when 

Stephanie Beecham though
