Then what better way to do it than by crudely photoshopping some A-Team dwarves onto the advert. Not sure if the price is a joke too.

beko1987 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I found a kenwood chef at the side of the road the other day. Tonight we made a sponge cake Had been sat in the corner of the work car park for weeks. Was very random. Had it home last week and checked it and cleaned it etc, then I bought cookery stuff and we tried it tonight! It's missing the rubber mat under the bowl and the dough hook doesn't stay in properly, but bar that it's grand! myglaren, Stevebrookman, paulplom and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indestructible bits of kit, wouldn't be without ours, Mum replaced her with one of the new fangled triangular ones which was awful.Think I've got a spare ally plate that goes under the bowl if you want it?Sent from my Moto G (5) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go with the flow.... What is general cruising speed in this? Same engine as my T1 (but far better aerodynamic properties), which will pretty happily sit at 70 unless you're dealing with a hill or strong headwind. Like driving north on Thursday... Never ceases to surprise me how often I still find myself being held up by the general flow of traffic on the open road rather than the other way about...

loserone Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I might have a spare rubber from ours, we actually chucked it out as the gearbox and motor were fucked and it had been hand painted. If you're ever up this way you can have the stainless steel bowl from it, but I'll post the rubber mat beko1987 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't need the bowl, a stainless one would be good for light fluid jobs on the car I imagine though... loserone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandeth Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Well that just broke me, in a good way. Just in a room with probably a hundred people belting out Country Roads. Not sure why, but that's a song which has a huge emotional impact on me whenever I hear it live...at least in that many people nobody can hear how tone deaf I am while I'm singing along...

MrDuke Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Today I left work early, got in my C*rsa and tooled down the high street with Brand New Heavies blaring out at eleventy dB. I stopped outside the record shop and spent 20 minutes buying old vinyl which I shall be playing on my 70s Sanyo music system later on. Once home, I changed into some nice 34" jeans and am currently waiting for my Mum to cook dinner. I am literally 18 again. But bald.

xtriple Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I got my first Christmas present today, a calendar. Friend has done all the photography for it (dogs home/rescue/rehab centre) free of charge and so ordered a few for loved ones. They charged him a tenner a time for them even though he drove out to their premises multiple times and spent hours getting dogs to pose/sit still/look photgenic and then sorted out prints, organised printer and got the whole job done for them all for the grand sum of zero. Zilch. Nada. I know it's a charidee etc but seems a bit unfair to charge the bloke full price when he has effectively already paid for the whole run!

ChrisWilliams Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Just returned home from a works trip to North Wales, with 3 colleagues in a rented Ford S-Max. A top of the range thing with a diesel engine and automatic gearbox - the Ford version of the VW DSG box. And you'll never guess what happened... It lost loads of power going up a hill in the middle of nowhere in North Wales, the gearbox started hunting around but we crept over the brow, and somehow managed to coax it another 100 miles home. Maybe turning it off and on again would have sorted it, but maybe it wouldn't, and I didn't fancy risking it with three colleagues in the middle of nowhere. Anyway, the point is this: IT'S NOT MY PROBLEM ? xtriple, stonedagain and paulplom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring it on, I've got a bottle of gas I need to use up!
