MarvinsMom Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 been busy today. i have FINALLY got the frame sorted out for this t-shirt. it was given to me by a dear friend, maybe 15 years ago after they had been on holiday in Canada. i wore it the once, afterwards deciding that it was "too nice" to wear regularly, so, it got washed and hung up in the wardrobe. until earlier this week when it got brought out, and washed for a second time, as many years in the wardrobe had frankly not done it any favours and i FINALLY got a frame bought for it. ok, so i have had to carry the bloody enormous parcel up to my folks, and get me mam's help to properly mount it, and now all i need to find somewhere to hang it! and for the record, it is a Canadian National locomotive, and i'm thinking its a MLW M-420..... i think i need to get out more!!

I'm sure for most sparks, their retrofit nightmare is getting the board changed and all pretty, only to find that as soon as the upstairs lights are turned on, the whole house house goes dark and the sun is going down... Interesting, however, that it wasn't picked up during any of the dead testing that should've happened before the board was powered up but hey-ho. These things happen and happen they do. Exactly what happened when I had a new board fitted for my daughter, except it didn't happen immediately, only after a day or so, one room after another.

omegod Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Just taken the wife's focus for it's MOT and despite much fuckery I couldn't get the under seat airbag connector to play ball so the warning light stayed on during the test, tester comes out and says * Did you say you couldn't get the part in time " me confused as anything denies saying this so he repeats it 3 times ,despite me strongly denying ever having said such a thing 3 times ..............then the penny dropped " yes indeed I did say that " Passed with advisiories , you gotta love a flexible MOT man !!! I need to sort some solder connectors and fuck the joint off altogether chaseracer, dome, Minimad5 and 8 others 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crackers Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Operation BROWN CAR is "go" for tomorrow. I only realised yesterday that my breakdown cover (greenflag) doesn't cover it because it's 16 years old. That apparently also means my main car isn't covered either. Could be *interesting if the excrement hits the air conditioning on the M25!!! LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warch Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 This afternoon I finally managed to do something I’ve been wanting to do for nearly thirty years and managed to drive a Series One Land Rover. It was a nice low mileage example built in 1956 which my brother has just bought as an unfinished project. He has spent the last fortnight rebuilding the transfer box, sorting the brakes out and refitting the interior of the cabin. I was the first person to have driven it on the road in about five or six years. I think I have driven every model of proper Landrover, 1, 2, 2a, 3, 90, Defender, Td5 and Puma including a 16 plate last of line model that I nearly rolled in a quarry. I would love a go in a forward control but they are really rare now, although I did have a ride in the military version which was brilliant.

New POD Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 So mother in law's funeral yesterday. Where's the grin? She woke up in the middle of Saturday night saying her mum had been to see her and told her she was happy now and that she would be back again to make sure my wife was okay Daughter. Son and his Fiancee, came Sunday. And we had a lovely evening. Funeral was short but perfect, came back and had a buffet of mother in law's favourite food. Then we all went to the beach. Son and Fiancee went home yesterday, daughter goes home today. Wife is very calm and has actually slept through the night for the first time in months. Chat was mostly about son's new house, (survey came through whilst we were on the beach) and about the wedding at the end of June. My new suit was deemed very acceptable. Apparently I need a white shirt. I digress. Wife calm. I'm grinning. twosmoke300, Asimo, beko1987 and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New POD Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Also smiling, because we decided to redo our wills. The original ones we did 25 years ago, and had my brother in law as one of the executors and my sister in law as guardians of the kids. Given the stress induced personality change from dealing with his own parents wills, we've decided that perhaps our son and daughter should be executors, rather than a bloke whosr older than us. and they are a bit old anyway to be looked after by thier aunt. Anyway. Wife wanted to use the solicitor her parents had used for 55 years. I hate them. I've used them for 2 house purchases, and seen the quality of thier work with the probate/executor of my father in law. (I've had to print a few scanned documents for my brother in law as he doesn't have a printer- in more than one case I was printing out a copy of a copy of a copy. And found the original blank, online as a downloadable, fillable and signable PDF in about 1 minute. To me it proves the quality of the work.lazy) Anyway I wasn't going to argue. It's only 2 simple mirror wills. But I went on the law society website and ha.... They are not accredited for wills or probate... Doesn't mean they can't do it, but it was enough that my wife doesn't now want to use them.. Which means we can use someone who is accredited. I didn't have to argue, just present the facts.
