dollywobbler Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Just had a remittance advise telling me a sizeable invoice is going to be paid before Christmas. On the day my insurance renewal is due in fact! That takes some pressure off. beko1987 and xtriple 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_earwig Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I paid 8.85Kn for boggo petrol yesterday, that's a little over 84 new pence. Boggo diesel here is 7.84Kn, that's a little over 74.5 new pence. To put this into perspective, the average wage here is about 500 squid a month.

scaryoldcortina Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Today we had a work christmas outing. We went here.

scaryoldcortina Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Originally from spital tongues to the quayside, built to transport coal. Only the bit from under byker bridge to new bridge street is open to the public, the centre section under northumberland street is now a storm drain. I first found out about it around 25 years ago while helping do some research into the Hancock museum and the natural history society - the tunnel goes under the museum and there is a wartime entrance (it was used as an air raid shelter) in the grounds.

xtriple Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I brush painted a Ford Cortina MK2 estate (GT at that!) in Parsons 'Re-paint' a few decades ago. It was dirt cheap, Modena green and dried to a perfect finish! I was astonished at how good it came out 'cos I took fuck all care, no masking, naff all prep... However, I put some fuel in it before it had hardened and the paint ran off and landed on the forecourt floor!

From black to sky blue........it actually didn't look too bad from about 20 yards away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 My dad hand painted our Renault 12 in 1988 from Brown to blue. Only did it because the brown was oxidising and he'd basically t-cut the thing down to its last layer of paint. He used stuff called Cannons repaint as I recall (could have been the same as Parsons stuff the honourable Mr Triple mentioned earlier) and again it looked OK. Not a spray finish by any means but acceptable. It would have been better if he had Farecla'd out the few brush marks but he never bothered with polishing it. If I had a horrible old shitter I would consider doing it but might use a roller instead Vulgalour stylee. Certainly much cheaper than a respray Something that made me grin - on Thursday I was walking to my car in a Canary Wharf car park. The place was fairly deserted and as I walked back towards my car a Clio suddenly reversed out of a space making me hop out of the way. He stopped and hopped out, looked at me and gave me some verbal, I gave him a little back along the lines of "your car is quiet and your reversing lights weren't on, I had no idea you were coming out, etc". Anyway matey thought that my walking past his car was a major slur on his character or sexual prowess so gave me some more verbal and hopped back in his car. As I walked away I heard the scream of a 1200 Renault engine at 5000 rpm, a squeal as traction was lost twixt Tarmac and Ditchfinder, and I turned around to see this Clio rocket backwards and slam into a concrete post! Guy sat there hammering the steering wheel and shouting at himself, the world, and me. I turned away as he revved the bollocks off this little thing and screamed out of the car park. Best bit - when I got to the exit he was in one of the lanes screaming and shouting at the machine because it wouldn't let him out. I calmly inserted my token, my barrier opened, I turned to him and nodded as if to say "alright mate?" And drove off. I had to laugh, someone obviously had a bad day and anger issues but it seemed the world was really turning on this guy and he really wasn't dealing with it very well! And that children is what Karma does when you call an innocent passer by a "total f***ing retard c**t" for daring to walk through a car park to their car.
