richardmorris Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Watched blue thunder live. As publicity stunts go, not bad, but no Tesla to the stars! Beats Beardie Branson for class though - taking up the ex mercury 13 astronaut. I don’t think there’s ever been a bigger signifier of a mid-life crisis though, getting divorced and flying to space in a giant dildo. warch, louiepj and Tadhg Tiogar 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirton Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Some may have noticed it's gone a bit scorchio so having extolled the benefits of an air to air heat pump heating system in the heating thread in the Open Forum I thought I had better check the reverse - the cooling. IT WORKS. Previously it has only been on cooling at installation and at servicing for short periods, and it's back off. I don't do hashtags but #smugoldgit possibly hits the spot. Unless of couse running in reverse so to speak means 4kw of electricity in for 1kw of cooling, never checked that end of the equation. garethj, LightBulbFun, myglaren and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myglaren Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 A nice fresh MOT and service for £165 New tyre £50 (bleb in the old one). Apart from fuel and the dreaded tax and insurance, not bad for a year's motoring. Shame it all fell this month though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the figure was the reverse, air conditioners wouldn't nearly be as popular! I'd love to be at work this week in my air conditioned site office, but no.

Joey spud Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 As a day job i go around the southern counties testing and repairing garage equipment. The other day at a fast fit with a lot of blue and yellow in their branding a young spotty youth asked if i could check his torque wrenches. I was expecting a couple of cheap Sealey or Teng ones but these beauties appeared. It was a shame he couldn't afford the AA batteries to go inside them... dome, wuvvum, twosmoke300 and 6 others 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me "Yes that's right" Agent "Would you like an email receipt?" Me "Yes please" Agent "What's your email address?"

Spottedlaurel Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Some of this should be a grump, as tracing an ABS fault on my Camry is proving to be something of a challenge and at present I'm contemplating just flogging it and the spares car off for scrap/export. Anyway, looking on the bright side..... Whilst at the local electrical specialist who were unable to help find the fault on the Camry, someone stopped to talk about the Laurel which I'd driven there. Turns out he owns a pair of later C32 models, one of which was something of a local landmark when it was owned by a stock car racing family for years and years: This was back in 2006. It sat off the road for some time until the chap I met eventually bought it and a spares car they also had. He paid a remarkably modest amount as the guy was keen for it go back on the road rather than get banger raced! I still have the engine and 'box from the similar Laurel I owned and then scrapped some years ago, so he can have that off me - very good timing with the house move coming up. P.S. The CF was a 6-wheel LWB conversion. They also had a SWB CF van fitted with a twin rear wheel axle. mitsisigma01, LightBulbFun, Datsuncog and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVee8 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Today had been a good day,nah a great day. When I started working in my current job I joined the car draw, x amount of money deducted from my wage and evey month a Nissan Micra was drawn. When Sunderland Nissan stopped producing the micra, it turned into a cash draw. Well today I won the cash draw, I found out at 9.30 this morning I had a production trial meeting at 10.00. I have no idea what was said in the meeting to busy buzzing..It's also our summer shut down, so i'm on holiday for 2 weeks wuvvum, privatewire, beko1987 and 18 others 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
