My leccy garage door working first time after I fitted it. I'd never seen it work as it was 2nd hand & I've never fitted one before.

Countering out earlier grump, my company received some samples to analyse yesterday in the normal post ( lots of lovely stamps) from a Nigerian university along with a fat envelope. Envelope contained several sheets of carbon paper which were wrapped around many, many £20 notes. I am sure we are the only company in the uk getting money out of Nigeria! My colleague went Straight down to the bank today. Well he said he was....

Considering the rest of the ad I wouldn't be surprised if the MOT expired in November...

Got Dad's day presents.  Bought self a bottle of SIngle Malt - Indian, no less - tasted first and it's very nice.

 

Going to Dad's day car show in Looogabaroga tomorrow in my death trap (as Ma and pals call it) AMC.  Finished fitting new slightly less shonky exhausts and brand new rear shocks about an hour ago.

Got a boost pack in to work for repair the other day. Usually the batteries are shagged but never anything dramatic.

I've no idea how they manage to do this. Even as it was it still managed 8.5V into a 300A load tester

And everyone thought that lovely Nigerian prince who emailed was scamming people , he's sorted himself out and sending the money back now

Shpock user in reply to my advert for a mobility scooter for £100:

 

'50'

 

Me: don't know what you mean???

 

Them: '50 scooter'

 

Me: I haven't got a 50cc scooter, it's a disability one, it's electric?

 

Them: '£50 scooter' 

 

Me: no idea what you're on about, I haven't got a £50 scooter. 

 

Them 'ill giv u 50 for it'

 

Me: Jog on.

 

Haven't heard from them since, scooter now sold.

Popped to a local show earlier and saw a 2cv limo, it looked as if it was crafted with cake and then iced

 

I had to woolard it (it was a bugger to keep my balance as I was stood on one leg as my foot wasn't actually on the bumper)

Spent some time shooting clay pigeons this morning with Ben. Great fun. I won too :)

 

He has bruised cheek caused by shotgun/him not holding it tight enough.

 

I WIN!!!!!!!!!

Car show was great - best bits were - some kid moaning to his Dad "but there was only one Ferrari" and another when his Dad was saying how great the V12 E-type was "I'd rather have a classic Mercedes".  With any luck (and if I live long enough) I might get that E-type after all.

 

Star of the show had to be this bloke though -

Everytime I see your Sierra it reminds me I miss mine.

Went on a bike ride with Mrs_Pillock.

 

Grin? She's got a kippered pelvis, something about a tendon not doing tendonny things and it all just flops around. She's been having physio recently, and they reckoned she could cope with this - 6 miles later they were right! So now we're on the lookout for bikes plus a shed to put them in :)

Just taken and passed my LGV theory and hazard perception tests.

 

One step closer to owning a shite lorry!
