more videos please (actually go THROUGH the drive in - please)

It's like they used to be. Pull up out front, get out, go stand by the window and wait. Doesn't make for exciting footage. Plus, they're on vacation for the next few weeks.

I can't look even remotely at mine! Plus side, it makes the dark light! 

Can't comment on the fuse as I cut some mega overkill flex offa shit extension lead so it has whatever it has! 

Have thought of putting a connector in the cable though, it's too much to stick on my cheap tripod. Would be neater to wrap it up somewhere else... 

Infact that's given me an idea... 

With all that kit are you going to start venturing into low budget porn, as well as the vacuum cleaner porn?

Followed the link when it first came up and thought they looked like value, as the lights were cheaper than new bulbs for my existing lights outside my shed, both of which have blown. Thought I would order 2 for there, then added a third to replace the one on the house. Then thought these would work well IN the shed where I needed more light. So I ordered 10 (I am doing this right, yes?)

Arrived Saturday and quality looks very good, will start fitting them soon....

This is a bit of an odd one. I was searching Google Images for something entirely unrelated when I happened across a picture of a good mate's bike...........

Very sorry to read this, I knew of Boo through Flickr but didn't realise the sad reason as to why his uploads had stopped.

It was my birthday at the weekend - I'd been joking around saying that I didn't want a birthday cake, I wanted a birthday pie instead - nephew gm came up with the goods :)

You deserve it. You're only 60 once.

Nice, I'd be happier with a birthday pie! 

My mum said I've finally become old as I asked for a water butt for my birthday... And I was only 33 in September...

My new work light courtesy of @beko1987.

It turns the room from dark into broad daylight. Unbelievable for the money. I joined two together and added 15m  1mm flex with a 13amp plug.

What size fuse should it have?

There's a camera in it -  beko knows what you're doing every time you turn it on :D

knobheads , the ones that cant park ..

went to the farm shop o the way home , it has a field for a car park ,one with a fucking duck pond and a big greenhouse , get the size !

so I parked my car with its arse end towards the shop door so I could dump the sack of spuds in it .

paid the dosh , then got the spuds and walked out to 3 cars , mine , a blue one yards away and knobheads parked up the side of mine ,with  the "6 inch gap " .

he saw me coming with the spuds , I dumped them in the boot , he did not look at me , I squeezed between my old car and his nice new white one .shhhhhzzzzee 

banged his mirror ," whoops"   still did not look at me , opened my door and squeezed in , leaving the door open towards his drivers door ...

put my belt on , started the car , looked at him , he still did look at me ..was staring out of the windscreen

shut the door and drove off , he then moved his car ...

I hardly lead an exciting life these days.

That's the retort I used to use when I had a Huawei. Any poor bastard assigned to spy on me is going to have a hard time! Even Google struggles showing me 'relevant' ads, and Facebook! 

I'm not privacy secure or anything, I'm just very boring!

The giveaway is the wipers on the camera car. Aston Martins are deathtraps in the rain. I got overtaken by a DPD Sprinter on the road between Stowe and Cheltenham on streaming wet roads last December. I was bricking it on every bend, if I’d been in my poxy little E Class diesel rather than the clients brand new DB11 V12, I’d have been going 20 mph faster even on my Chinese Ditchfinders.

After what seemed like forever trying to find another car to replace the daily Fiesta, I finally hit the jackpot yesterday morning.

I initially went to view another car but he said ‘I’ve got another one here exactly the same, you can try both if you want’.

So I popped over and ended up buying this....

Yes, another Fiesta! It’s a 2006 1.25 Zetec Climate with 112k on the clock. A full year’s ticket with a full service including timing belt change (done about an hour before I drove it), a brand new coolant bottle and new headlamps as the old ones were incredibly cloudy. There was a book pack plus a stack of receipts for previous work done - and I’m 95% convinced it’s had a new clutch recently as the bite point is very low. Drove perfectly with no noises or rattles. 

Picking it up Saturday.
