Decided to give the Mazda a good polish.

Quite pleased with the result if I may say so

And again today. Went out for a walk, took the camera to catch a Volvo which has been sitting in the driveway of a house for the last year at least, fully equipped with a rear bumper that stuck out where the rear window used to be. Got the camera ready as I approached, then stormed the scene of the crime.

The bloody driveway was empty.

It says a stupid price. On that she is 100% correct. Everything else? Less so.

Did you catch the show on the Beeb following the Chinook display team?

Pilot was throwing it about so much it would exceed it's design limits (5g/75° flight level) and would go into Computer says no..mode

Magical self-fixing Jaguar brakes.  Big grin.

They're just lulling you into a false sense of security

Danny Kent.

I wish Danny hadn't strung it out so long though, he was in a different league at the start of the season and then became a petulant kid in qualifying and handicapping himself

Mega win today, I was at the municipal waste recycling facility dropping off a duvet that had been puked on and a mouldy kids car seat and saw a chap unloading a very tidy looking mower.

 

I mooched up to him and politely asked if it was broken, 'no' said he, it runs fine and cuts grass properly but the self-propelled bit had given up. I asked if I could have it if he was going to bin it otherwise and he happily agreed.

 

Got it home and extracted the elderly petrol from the tank, slung some new in there and it fired right up - ran a little smokey for a bit as I think oil had got into the exhaust (they all do this) then cleared right up. The deck is in superb condition and I've modified the sprung flap (fnarr) so a grassbox I have fits - sadly the original one had just been slung into the 'household waste' thing and the council grunts looked unwilling to extract it for me!

 

I spent the afternoon by topping up the oil and sharpening the blade, then removed the gubbinz for the driven rear axle so its just a normal push-a-long now, but what a nice chap - He could have told me to fuck right off but instead has given me the mower for nothing and I should be able to turn it into a nice £50 now its been cleaned up and fixed.

He's managed it though: he can learn from this.  I really thought he was in the process of "choking", & it's not impossible that after his struggles in Moto2 it began to seem too easy...unless it was manipulated that way by the owners of the telly rights.

I've heard of them being called Shithooks due to gearbox issues...

[michael1703]

I hope his next attempt at moto2 is more successful, will be interesting to see him scrapping with crasher lowes

[320touring]

Had a chap come up to me at Crail to say "I read your blog-nice to see the rank taxi in real life"

 

LOLZ FAMOOSE

My Dad posted a picture of me and my brother in his Mk3 Escort in about 1990. I'm in the backseat.

I popped to a car meet earlier with a mate, the police had the whole area blocked off and they were checking everyone's car over, whilst waiting we were watching them go all over chavvy motors for defects finding bald tyres etc, we had a good laugh with the police who were standing by, when it came for them to check my mates car he had a sidelight bulb out which he didn't actually know about, i got one from the saph the officer saw it work then I had the bulb back and put it back in, they came to check my car did a light check and that was it, i wished them a good evening, I was more than happy for them to check everything as they wouldn't have found one defect.

The dog. And fireworks. Really makes me grin.

 

She just doesn't give a shit at all. (I suspect because she was rescued from filton, so probably grew up to frequent small arms fire.)

 

It's been like the battle of the somme round here with non stop fireworks since thursday. Flash, bang, flash bang bang.

 

She will look up at a huge one, and then carry on. The rest make no impression at all.

 

 

That's nice and all but what really makes me grin is the reactions of other people.

 

"OMG you shouldn't be walking her with all these, she'll be scared" ->  Doesn't look scared to me, having a sniff in the leaves there.

 

"You cruel man, subjecting that dog to this". Um.....

 

Thats just walking down the street. Oddly enough didn't get one comment at the organised display, but did get an awful lot of filthy looks.

 

Can't they believe the evidence of their own eyes?

And on a similar note, but a bit out of date - the "don't leave dogs in hot cars" mob.

 

If it's mega hot, then no, on both those days we'll not take her.

 

However, if its less than low 20's we will leave her in the car. Normally in the shade. Always with the windows open, never for very long.

 

Left her like this for about 20 mins this summer. Come out of the shop and there is a concerned* member of the public waiting to berrate me.

 

"she could die, you're lucky the rspca aren't here yet, they'd break your window to teach you a lesson"  

 

unlikely, all 4 windows are wide open. - they'd have to shut them to break them

 

"But they dog could die if it gets too hot"

 

Or she could jump out of the, erm, open windows. Or if she really was in trouble you could open the unlocked door.

 

 

All the while the dog is just sat there, visibly very happy. 

 

So vigilante gobshite then goes to shove their hand into the car to demonstrate how unbearably* hot* it is in there. Now that the dog did not like, not one little bit. Made me grin though. 

[xtriple]

Phebe, for all that she is terrified of people is not phased in the slightest by noises or fireworks or anything really, just people, and Chester for all him being a fat useless poof is not bothered by them either! We went out the other night and all three of us watched the display without the slightest bother.

 

However, Chesters predecessor Leo, used to absolutely freak at the fireworks and I used  to have to wrap him in a quilt with me and stroke him non stop.
