Watching a couple of vids on YouAdsTube and saw these.

Flexiny: crusty sills and unable to jack it up? Not when you've got deep dish alloys and a block of wood handy:

A Scottish comedy sketch show called 'Chewin The Fat' featured a couple of neds (Scots chav) annoying a couple of 'teuchters' (highlanders) whilst they're trying to show the beauty of the Highlands. The neds drive an Astra GTE:

Nope that is Gevulde Koek. Maybe in English a pastry. But still one of my favourite Dutch sweet eats. Lecker

My defender features the same stalk, although mine latches down to give an intermittent wipe, so something must be possible.

As I understand it the delay is built in to the relay and can be retrofitted to older/cheaper landrovers; perhaps the same may apply to other BLARG products?

The premise is taking the piss out of the quite staid and earnest presentation style of Tom Weir on the programmes he made for STV like Weir's Way.

I think this was filmed in the late 90s/early 00s. The Astra GTE was still a cheap fast banger for chavs/neds as the Impreza/Ford RS is now.

Cheers, never knew that! I had a quick look at Weir's Way and it is indeed a quite staid and earnest programme. Nicely done. Something I would have called a "Sunday afternoon" programme that I'd imagine older folk falling asleep in front of just before/after the Sunday roast is done. I vaguely remember Sunday television often being quite staid then.

The boy passed his driving test yesterday at 4.30. 2nd attempt but at least it's done tf.

[loserone]

Now he can take himself to the jobs? Is he getting his own van?

[paulplom]

 Nah. He needs to start looking for a new employer pretty soon as he qualifies in June and there's no way on earth I'm paying plumber's wages.

Apprentice minimum wage is about half normal minimum.

[paulplom]

I'd buy him a car like I did for my daughter at Christmas but he won't be able to afford to insure it 🤣

Loving the 'cuckold' chair in the disabled toilets at Morrisons. 

Nothing better than being able to take a seat right next to the dear wife whilst she takes a shit for the ages. How wonderful to be able to give comfort (and even hold her hand) during a particularly difficult delivery.

Such a considerate move from the management who should be congratulated for such a progressive attitude.

Old

Vs. New! 

Would have been nicer if it wasn't raining all the time but I've done my 4th cambelt change now and the engine seems to still run fine!

Sat having breakfast at our hotel in Stockholm this morning, looking out of the window and a Skoda Fabia does a 180 handbrake turn on the ice to park up outside.

It wasn’t brilliantly executed but you’ve got to take the opportunities when they arise.

And then there’s this. 
 

My brother needs it.

Ideal for S&M by the looks of the kink resistance.
