Must be my lucky week (for a change)

If you know, you know... 

No hammering and no heat. No power tools/impact guns etc either! 03 plate Audi A4, doesn't look like it's been touched recently. 

I don't like having to extract those when they're seized... I don't think anybody does!

Hopefully this chap will be ok , he was very small , vets found fly eggs on him and strimmer marks on his spines , was curled up on the pavement in the middle of the day

There is just something nice about opening up that prickly husk to reveal a nice shiny conker!

Not goona lie, when I first glanced at that picture before reading the caption I thought you were holding an unusually shiny dog egg.

Its a live stream, so there probably isn't a lot happening.

Because by and large we agree with her?

Why haven't the English seen through David Cameron Theresa May Boris Johnson Liz Truss yet?

As an expat Scot living in Wales I was never that impressed with her to be honest and her views on Indy. Having lived here through Covid and watched the machinations of just how little consideration that the UK Gov (UK = English?) has given to this Principality then I too, by and large, agree with here as do my remaining family in Scotland who were never that bothered about politics.

Sorry - got diverted by Scottish Stuff.....

Happy today, Bini passed MoT again with no work beforehand (just oil/filter/cambelt/alternator belt and a wash). 

Only 4,000 miles in the year as we're now both working from home - wonder how long it'll keep going?

Lol, I install these at work (with a proper keypad though!). I was told the price of them once- £1200. They're bloody durable things however.

[High Jetter]

IIRC they were used as emergency phones, it's the sign that's wrong.

My driveway/garden line up made me look back and smile today as I was walking to the front door

Spotted at the Nürburgring. Head gasket on the dash as a trophy?

Get real. Wee Krankie is as bad as any of them, except any time she’s found out , it’s “ the English bastards are to blame “ and half the country (well 49%) believe her. They’ve made as much a mess of Scotland as the Tories have of the U.K. and they’re only in charge of about 1/4 of it.

What a well reasoned argument. I'm cured! I suppose I'd better vote for labour or whatever now.

Bought a bicycle front mech from eBay. 
6 days later it arrives second class.

The cable clamp is cracked. Visible wear behind the bolt. That's not safe as it could let go. The crack isn't fresh, there's corrosion in it, and it lines up perfectly with where a cable's been rubbing against it. 

Jumps straight on the defence, no refunds. Seller knows he's sold a duff part. I question his motives:

My cynical hat is firmly on. Bluff called.

Seller's tripped up and tacitly admitted he sent a duff part, as he's doubtful the crack happened in transit, but also is aware that the area in question is susceptible to cracking. This doesn't add up, and is certainly not 'bad luck'. 

Bluff called. 



HA. No further message, no requirement to return the part.

Got a little treat today sat at lights when a Commer PB camper appeared at the junction right across from me.  As it set off to a chorus of period exhaust parps, words such as matronly, ungainly, and ponderous came to mind.  Absolute treat tbqh.  The funny thing is, it didn't look quite the same as the other white Commer PB camper I spotted in 2020 so I wonder if there's a serial offender locally.  I do hope so.

My Granvia got used as bridesmaid transport today which was funny as it had seven old radiators in the back of it yesterday.

It's a useful old bus.
