Black Sabbath 'War pigs'  @ about 11

Having a music night

Look up black sabbath live in Paris 1970, there's videos on YouTube, tight performance and mental drumming

Speed with Guy Martin on Ch4 now.

saw this lovely bus last night

 

 

another grin is the speed of post from Hong Kong, I ordered some wing mirrors for my capri and they were here in a couple of days

The internet is a peculiar place inhabited by strange people. Where else would I get gems like this from the Princess forum after the recent light install update.
 

Im sorry to say this because you have put a lot of work into this car it is a shed the best thing you could do with it is crush it it should never be allowed on the road.i know you wont like my comment but its only my opinion. any way good luck with your prodject.

[purplebargeken]

Cunt can't spell project. 

 

Please provide a link so we can rip the piss out of him

[fordperv]

so a rivet counter doesn't like what you are doing to your car vulg, that says to me you are doing the completely correct things to it, keep it up and really upset them

[vulgalour]

Meh, no need to white knight, this is in the grin not the grumpy thread after all.  It's more the fact someone would tell me in the same breath to scrap my shed and to carry on with the project.

Don't care if they really mean Range or Land....

I know my punctuation leaves a lot to be desired but he is a knobhead so can not construct a sentence! Carry on doing what you are doing and see if it annoys him even more!

[Kiltox]

prodject

[Skizzer]

Golly. It's a big leap from "I don't particularly share your enthusiasm for the style of your car" to "it must be destroyed by the authorities."

 

And so many internal conflicts and self-contradictions in one outburst: there's a whole psychology textbook right there. Ah, the joys of one-model owners' clubs.

[TataBobu]

I want the same sort of thing but for a tape player! They seem to be not made though

 

What, those? They are made, but too pricey.

[purplebargeken]

No need to white knight indeed but I would like to say my piece and take the piss out of him slightly 'cos the insurance companies are making me want to kill.

Decided to run the Pug 206sw of much cheapness in for a MOT to see if was worth fixing or just scrap it. It only went and passed with no advisories and the tester commented its in really good nick underneath! I might get the aircon leak tested know and see if thats fixable as the it always seems stuffy inside with poor airflow through the vents.

Pollen filter is probably clogged if there's poor air flow

[dean36014]

I pulled that and it looked Ok. Might treat it to a new one incase its a rubbish cheapo one.

Been doing loads of overtimes juggling extra cheese boards and incendiary cactuses (or whatever I do for a living) for over a year trying to get the money to buy the derelict shed with land, water,  more spare sheds, orange trees etc. in the foreign sun, got the agents to sort the paperwork after finding a load of errors then put in 3 offers in 18 months and all rejected, now got the full asking price and booked to go BUT some tit of an agent has taken someone else's cash and given them my paperwork. 

 

Ooooo  look there's a structurally sound stone built windmill for less money and a short moped ride from where they hold the surfing championships.

^Not a like for being pissed about, but a like for the windmill (although I'd hate the stairs)

[Vantman]

On Saturday I went to Deal to a bus rally celebrating the old East Kent bus company,whilst rummaging through the vast amounts of photo's that certain stall holders have I came across a photo of a pick up that I used to own. I felt rather pleased with myself and parted with 50 whole pence---

I was back at work today after a week off (depressing). So I thought I'd take the Panda for a spin to cheer me up. What a laugh it is and on skinny Fiat 500 wheels too. I don't think i went over 60 once either. It just rev's so freely you think you're going really fast then you look at the speedo and you're doing 42mph. Also it was a nice sun set over Arran.

Was going to cost £470 to insure the Civic, chucked the whole fleet's details into Admiral Multicar and have insured all three for £740! Also they're all together so I don't have the hassle of trying to remember what is insured, with whom and when it runs out.

 

Thats £370 for the Civic, £200 for the 1850HL and £170 for the 1300! Just got to stay out of trouble now as I hear Admiral are shite if you actually need to claim...

[Pillock]

Show me an insurance company that isn't. Not Crashing is always a good plan though.

[Kiltox]

Admiral were excellent when I wrote off a car a couple of years ago in an accident that was totally my fault

[cobblers]

I've got CCTV at home and I keep an eye on it while I'm at work because of problems with the neighbours.

Anyway , late afternoon I clicked on kitchen cam and saw the dog sat on the chair our lass dragged in off the garden last night. Which means they've worked out how to work doorknobs as well as handles (I changed the handles to knobs) because we usually keep them upstairs if we're both at work.

 

It's bad news cos they really can't be trusted in the kitchen or living room so I was expecting to come home to a destroyed sofa and the bin turned over etc etc

 

Anyway I walked into the house and there was no scene of destruction - the sofa was fine, but one of them had found a bag of coffee beans and ripped it open, it was all over the floor in the living room. Absolutely shit myself because it's deadly and they love it, so I picked every bean up and weighed them, 196g out of a 200g bag. Turns out thats about 10% of what's really bad news for 9kg whippets.

It was pretty easy to guess which dog ate them:

He's just about calmed down now after doing 7 shits.

 

[xtriple]

I have successfully cut my smoking by 50% for over a week! This may be pathetic really, but it's a major achievement for me. Today was a 'bad day' and I may have crept over the arbitrary figure I have set myself for fags for the day, but guilt and fear of bankruptcy seems to have me back on track tonight.

Just went to buy an oil filter for the Mazda. The lady in front of me wanted a new bulb for a tail light. She then got all upset because the new one the assistant put on the counter beside her old one was different ." It's not black like the one I brought in" was the substance of the problem.     

[purplebargeken]

Jazzed up on Java eh?

[Supernaut]

After my grumps yesterday evening I went for a drive.

 

I left the house just before 8pm and got back at 10pm. I went over the Cairn O Mount in the dark, which was interesting, and got some random experimental (i.e. shit) long exposure photos at the top.

 

On the way back into Aberdeen I saw a hilariously borked 08/09 plate Mazda 2. The only working brake light was the high-level one. The reverse lights were illuminated as if they were the tail lights, and when they indicated, the corresponding brake light flashed. They were utterly caning it along the A90. I was doing an indicated 80mph and they were just fucking off over the horizon. I caught up with them once the speed limit dropped to 40mph, and was behind them for a couple of miles, laughing the whole way.

 

I've seen similar on old transits because of earth faults, but the lights on this Mazda were lighting up perfectly clearly, not like an earth fault.
