What's the point ?? 🤣

I don't see much point, but the standard model takes 2 Euro pallets, the Maxi takes 3, and that takes 1.

Clueless on the top two and still no idea who Jay/Simon might be.

I'm clearly a fake Brit.

Found the Fonze mirror. Father inlaw and his mates were fond of an annual beano to the horses. After loosing the bulk of their money they would hit up the market and buy an assortment of gifts for the family to ingratiate themselves to their families when they returned home pissed and skint as fuck. 

Ange says he used to buy up a right load of old tat. This however is fantastic.

Almost forgot..... The AirB&B owner is a serial Volvo botherer. 

2 Polars as dailies..... 

And this 244 gt (iirc) resto almost finished. 

He has a barn full nearby but he was away - the wife admitted she's lost count if how many he has now. 

I told her about this place - but km not sure she'll let him know 🤔😁

Nope, but just watched the vid. Kinda vaguely remember seeing it before, but I wasn’t aware it was a’thing’ as opposed to  just some cantankerous old twat

First decent bit of sunshine so I'm sitting outside reading. Neighbours have decided to tidy their garden.

Mrs Neighbour - "Have you got you old shoes on?"

Reply - "No, not yet".

Mrs N - "Well put them on now".

Reply - "I'll do it in a minute".

Mrs N - "Do it now".

Reply - "OK" in a grumpy voice.

The Grin factor? - Is she talking to her 10 yr old child? No, it's her husband. 😄

I read an interview with him. He seemed fairly philosophical about it, although bemused that millions of people have watched it. He realises that he said some stupid things which were a mistake. He also said that there was a lot of winding up of him first that didn't make it to the final cut, somehow.

Update:  Review complete.  It will be removed.  Poster contacted.

I remember reading your post but didn't see anything controversial.

 

But

I can't see a post of mine which Sheefag has liked.  Clicking on the notification takes me to your post @Talbot.

Mega confused.

As am I, as the post I removed was from another member.  If Sheefag liked one of your posts,.I can see no reason it wouldn't take you to the post in question.

The post I hid had no likes or reactions, and isn't even adjacent to any of your posts...

Dunno.

Round a mate's last night, talking to his daughter (late 20s, hairdresser).  She was telling me that she'd spent several hours that day replacing a front lower arm on her Audi (2003 A4 Avant) in advance of its upcoming MOT, and she was complaining about what an utter bastard the front suspension is to work on on those cars.  She also replaced a rear arm which was a piece of piss by comparison, although she did say the bush on the old one fell to bits as she took it off.

There's still hope for the next generation I reckon.

🤣 the ferry was less than 300 euros in the car return

Flight to belfast and car is 120

[hairnet]

and on similar theme

have flight for essen and was gonna use the train

but db is worse than here for their timekeeping (how is that even possible)

and theyve been having strikes where the planes do too on the same days (!) i hope that doesnt happen

so i rented a car and they didnt charge for a one way

saves a lot of fecking about even tho its twice as much as the trains might have cost BUT i can do wuppertal in the morning before essen

Spring. Here to stay. Looking forwards to sunshine for two months, and then to scorching heat.

[Metal Guru]

This could equally go in the grumpy thread.

Slight damage to car ( wife obviously has no idea how it happened ), so need a paint spray and therefore need colour name or code.

Torch batteries dead, so too dark to find tiny plate hidden somewhere on the car , so I try to Google it, via registration number.

First up a paint supplier. Fill in reg, up comes “we’ve got you colour”, without adding “but we’re not telling you so you have to buy from us” FRO!

Then I spot WBAC, saying they will tell me the colour if I tell them the reg. So I’m  thinking , that’s useful , thank you WBAC.

Fill in the box , press enter.

”Your car is red”. WTF , I know it’s red ffs, it’s sat outside my door , a big red thing, can’t miss it. I’m colour blind and can see it red! I want to know if it’s Volcano red, chilli red, or Brothel light red.

It’s red! Useless bastards!

Both motos still broken and no insurance on the Berlingo as of last night due to it sneaking up on me and online quotes being double what it was last year. 

Why the grin? Well it gives me the chance to use this;

Engines a bit smoky but its made the ferry quicker than the Berlingo due to respectful swift progress and lack of number plate.

Quick rest now then on to Waltham Forest. How my body holds up to 30 miles and a days graft remains to be seen. Wish me luck.

Love it. I had the same bike back in the late 80s/early 90s and then another rusty one which I never ended up fixing up a few years back. 

Have you owned it for long? How does it ride?

Yours look a bit hotter. Where that pic was taken, the forecast for tomorrow reads a maximum of 7 degrees, and -1 the following night ... I've just seen it, the last hiccup of winter. I hope I'll have some fruits from the ones in bloom, and it won't kill all my newly planted trees
