its going to be a bit draughty though? not to mention that the stairwells will stink of piss.....

But think of the parking, just need to build a "Get Carter" style 1960s box on the top to live in and a Mk2 Cortina to screech up and down the ramps.

Saved this from going into the metal skip at the local recycling center today.

Much too nice to be scrapped.

Still in vogue around here as vintage upcycled tables when you stick a top on them, I've done a few, the cheapest I sold was for £80, before I realised that I could get quite a bit more. Used decent tongue and groove boards with a 2x1 edge around, it helped that I could get the wood free as offcuts from someone who build sheds.

Three days and no water in the Maestro :D  I've risked putting some carpet back in it.

Slim possibility I may appear in the American media as a lighthearted final news item.  A Journo from the US saw a Reddit post my Daughter put up showing a video of me being assaulted by a Cat focused on my Blueberry Muffin and they want to call tomorrow to interview me about it.  I may end up as some sort of meme but hey, what was it Andy Warhol said?

Plumber came round and confirmed my diagnosis of the heating pump, and the hot water electrovalve is none too clever either. 

Sent his quote in and asked if I was about tomorrow so that's hopeful. Before he left he showed me how to smack it if I needed which I just have needed to as the heating clicked off earlier and didn't come back on... Smack smack smack and it rumbled into life, tempted to just keep the heating on tonight, so it doesn't stall and not come on in the morning. I've got 3 days of gas to use...

French buyers guide for the Marina advises corrosion as "catastrofic" 

Going by the state of my granddads marina I'd have to agree.

That article suggests not.  I've never seen one over there I have to say.

Can’t believe the dude they featured in this advert didn’t attract the aspirational Gallic buyers in their droves

Am sure they were: fewer doors, less metal.

Bit harsh compared to absolute wank like Fords. Were many Marinas sold in France? 

Marinas vanished so quickly. They were even manufactured here in portugal, and yet, i've never seen one on the road. It can't be because of rust, as there are still rust-prone cars like MK3 and MK4 Escorts being daily driven around here with no rot whatsoever

I'd love to try one of our diesel Marinas with a whopping 37hp...

Just signed a contract with a news agency giving them the rights to my video of me being assaulted by a cat trying to steal my blueberry muffin.  

Tomorrow I am going to try eating a pain au raisin near an Alpaca to see if that generates a similar result.  Might be money in this “Parky eats near animals” genre.  

Keep an eye out for “Packet of Toffo’s near horse”, “Mince and onion pie at aquarium” and the perennial favourite “Pot Noodle in vicinity of Chaffinch”
