Tamworthbay Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I got my hands on a Yamaha guitar for £20 as there was a major fault with it as it wouldn't tune and stay in tune. Looking at it I couldn't see how there could be too much wrong so took a punt. A quick strip and clean showed that the springs underneath needed adjusting and now all is well.The guy is leaving the country so needed to clear out and mentioned he had some other stuff going, £12 got me a quality tuner, stand, set of new strings, a winder tool AND this amp:I just can't believe it, after feeling shit about the news about my eye yesterday, this has really cheered me up no end! (All his prices, not mine by the way and a really nice bloke as well). FakeConcern, privatewire, scaryoldcortina and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'coli Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Fancied a wee snack at work...I had one and a half slices left of a loaf from a fortnight ago, still with no green bits on it, so it goes into the toaster...and found some butter in the work fridge with a "best before" of 24 Jun on it, but still tastes ok...that'll do!

Richard Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I was working in a recycling place today and spotted three Dyson DC04s with the bit we need for ours. They are £5 a pop on eBay and the last one I got didn't fit because Dyson seem incapable of making two parts the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthbay Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I didn't, but I enjoyed the mental image of a Lancaster being used as a fighter.They didn't have much of a chance on that one and were rubbish on the ww2 songs as well as it turned out!

I've had 2 dc25s in this week with dead brushroll motors. The parts and my fee come to £75. However ebay have brand new genuine heads for £35... Thise wand latches are a different size from the dc04 or dc07, which may explain that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobblers Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I had some of these fuckers for my tea last night: They make crispy pancakes seem like a night out at the ritz. There was nowt in the freezer apart from them, and I only bought them to wind our lass up who was practically gipping at the sight of them in the shop.

M'coli Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 That would be E.Coli, (Escherichia coli) which usually in its benign form is what makes up a great proportion of shite, whereas M'coli has a soft "M" and sounds more like "mi" like in the mi-na-mi-na part of a Muppets song, and the coli bit should sound like a breed of shepherd's dog. It was my dad's idea as being a phonetic of our surname... cms206 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlabamaShrimp Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Horse, dog or tiny bacteria notings going to stop me getting those crispy pancakes now, cooking them far too much then regreting eating them! This week I've also had some jammy wagon wheels and some jaffa cakes after a fish finger sandwich. When you're poorly you can eat crap, it's the law. cms206 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Like the look of them hamwiches, I'd honestly demolish those. Probably in a sandwich. I like food but I'm really very much not a snob about it - I know good food and mostly eat actual proper decent food (I'm subscribed to a monthly "top quality meats" hamper delivery ffs), but I'm not ashamed to enjoy a 75p microwave doner kebab or a rustlers burger for lunch at work.But these are honestly way worse than anything. At the time of actually putting them in your gob they taste cheap but not that bad, but you pay for them for hours after. Tickman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I just like the idea of a hamwich sandwich. Those sub-quid doner kebabs are class, I love the way you microwave them with the "salad" in so you get green snot along with the brown meat substitute. cms206 and tinribs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Already this year, our town volunteer fire brigade has had to attend some quite intense calls but of the two I attended yesterday, the second one put a smile on my dial: Cat stuck up a tree! Couldn't get the truck close enough to use my first choice of extraction (squirt it with the hose reel) but sending a crew member up the tree with a pointy stick made the cat decide it was time to jump down to the safety of the tarp blanket below. Not before said cat took a horrendously long pee from the tree, accurately dousing the owners' Iphone, sat on a bench below! catsinthewelder, DodgeRover, eddyramrod and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
