Discovered in a bag we used on holiday a long time ago £6.95 - because I bought something similar in a shop in Ealing a couple of weeks ago for that money. Bit shocked at the price but we needed some and that’s all there was. Got it home and found it was made in 2009! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainrcz Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Today, after asking the Mrs an innocent question I learnt : "no matter how many times you ask me, I will never have any baler twine"I didn't bother to ask if she had any old pairs of tights to cut up.Every day's a school day and all that.Sent from my VFD 710 using Tapatalk myglaren and Skizzer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous user Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I have just seen a stupid advert for one of those credit check companies. It has a bloke looking sadly at his battered Mk2 Ford Escort, then checking his credit score, eventually ending up with an Audi. In reality he could probably sell the Escort and buy an Audi outright without borrowing. Shite Ron, paulplom, Skizzer and 5 others 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitsisigma01 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 If this lurgy keeps up I'll be OK, probably got enough booze in the house to stay permanently pissed for about a year, usually I don't drink at home but put me down the pub and I can do about 10 pints and a few shorts in a few hours....

xtriple Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Guy over the road works for Sainsburys. I have spoken to him a few times, always about cars, or the dogs. Today, he called round to ask if I need anything and if so, give him a list and he'll get it and bring it home with him after work.

xtriple Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 The guy over the road that works for Sainsburys has just delivered the couple of items I asked him to get. Bloody good service Joking apart, jolly decent of him to help out like that, I am very grateful. I did pay him and gave him a couple of quid for doing it.

STUNO Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Should be a grump, but I have a weird sense of humour. My "guy over the road" who doesn't drive, was trying to buy a loaf of bread and could not find one anywhere. next day I was in the supermarket and took him a loaf. I knocked on his door and handed him the loaf, he took it and said thanks. I went home and told myself not to bother again, it's going to get expensive. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Been impressed with our local Waitrose, and that's not a statement I ever expected to write given previous experiences with Waitrose over the years. They've implemented a limit on the number of people going into the store (it's a fairly small store), and a 3-like-items limit on purchases. This meant that we could finally get some of our staples, like a box of eggs, because there was actually stock to buy. We've not changed our shopping habits that much since this all kicked off, and we're fairly frugal anyway. Not having an oven - something we were lined up to get just as the lockdown happened - limits what we buy somewhat but we've been doing just fine with a little hob, it's surprising just how well you can cope with that and how reasonable the meals are, it just means smaller shops for fresh ingredients rather than relying on frozen ovenables. Probably not a bad thing, it means we're eating healthily. What's interesting is seeing how the little bit of common sense at Waitrose has really stomped on the stockpiling and allowed everyone to get a fair share of supplies. For us, it's invaluable, we can't stockpile even if we wanted to and are reliant on continuing as normally as possible. I'm still working full time since I work from home and that too has been a boon since I can pick up the financial slack from my other half's hours being reduced to barely 2 days a week now (he works in isolation too, just not from home). It's a bit strange having company through most of my working day and sometimes I do have to shut them out of my work room for the sake of focus, but mostly we're muddling through just fine. Realistically, my routine isn't all that different to normal, the only difference is I'm not taking as many walks or short drives for work related errands because there's no reason to, and no sense in doing it if I don't have to. Work remains much the same and, apart from it being eerily quiet outside most of the time, if it weren't for the news it doesn't feel any different to usual.

dozeydustman Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Currently watching a very early Wheeler Dealers when the premise of the show was flip a cheap 924 after End wobbed it up. When WD was about honest* home mechanic stuffs with very little in the way of special tools. Edd refers to a ball-pein as a specialist bodyshop hammer.

That could turn out to be counterproductive, in the sense that the business is rubbing its customers' noses in it simply because they have the privilege of going about when others cannot. Thought: if the McLaren has been hired, does the use of it for takeaway delivery not breach the terms of the hire agreement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to discuss potential and pop you on the waiting list though, should be open again mid-April. I'm not doing automotive art by commission at present, but most other things are fair game.
