Weeds. In the patio. Grrr. The rest is looking good. Apart from. The grass which I cut too short.

To be fair your garden couldn't be more diametrically opposed to mine. In my defence I like neat and tidy and fucking hate gardening.

imagine how much fibreglass is in the important bits

We like to call it glass resin composite.  I mean if it's good for ocean going sailing boats, it's good for a barge.

Shame it wasn't £9,000,000 but it's still one in the eye for the lying wankers

Chris Packham awarded £90,000 damages in libel case against website | Media | The Guardian

Not about this case specifically, but I never understand how people of any persuasion don't realise that making unsubstantiated claims will just weaken an argument. Even if these guys have any sensible points, now they're just going to be ignored as propagandist wankers

 

As an aside, my person opinion of Packham has always been that he's a dickhead, but I can't imagine ever wanting to make up a smear campaign against him

I think he's brilliant. His autism is possibly the reason some people are unsure of him (not saying that's the case with you) and he's a proper champion for wildlife/animal causes. The fact he gets up the noses of the inbred fox hunting twats is the icing on the cake.

Finally after 4 months of legal to-ing and fro-ing we have exchanged contracts on our house purchase. Completion date set for 27th June.

Can’t wait to get out of this rented craphole now.

Brilliant, well done. Rental, binned!

It wouldn’t be so bad to stay here if the landlady actually made good the defects we report on property inspections. Also turns out the property inspector hasn’t been informing the letting agent nor the landlady the repairs needed doing.

I'm just glad that he won the case. However much I dislike someone, I'd never want to see them treated anything other than fairly under the judicial system

if you dont want something known why would you do something that means theyll crawl all over you because of where you did it

Just watching car SOS on C4 , the Opel manta

For the first time ever I've seen someone I know on TV , Terry at the electro platers , they're a great bunch of lads, I used to take truck parts up to be plated , they're just off the A1 north of Hartlepool , probably too big now but they did used to do one offs

A mate was doing an escort , I said if you give me some parts I'll get them to plate them

He wasn't happy when he got them back because they showed up the rest of the car they were that good

I remember when he was on TV in the 1980s with huge spiky hair. Seemed very cool then!
