Picked up 3 litres of 15w40 diesel engine oil on the way home from work for £5.97.  Cheapest I've been able to buy oil in a while.  Would have bought more but that's all they had.  I'll go for a snout round the other branches tomorrow to see if I can nab any more.

Roys of Wroxham, so probably completely useless to anyone who doesn't live within about 15 miles of Norwich, soz.

[Pillock]

I bloody love Roys and his unending desire to take over the whole town.

 

Is Miss Roy still going? And Roys Toys?

I bet it was a tough meeting where they finally had to let McDonalds use their own logo instead of branding it RoyDonalds.

The car I taught myself to drive in (off the road) was exactly the same age and spec. At the time it was about 8 or 9 Year old and covered in rust. Massive hole in the floor behind the drivers seat where a bit of string round the sill holding the handbrake cable up to name but one.

 

Got a Spanish mk1 in the garage that's not the greatest. The boot floor is a patchwork and it needs new rear arches and the corner behind. Might get one one day.

I have only had experience of one Spanish built one, it was a gold 1.1 L I bought it as an m.o.t fail from a mate for £20 as I needed a few bits and bobs for doug, the thing was rotten as buggery but it had lots of useful spares which kept a couple of mk2 on road for local folks.

 

I showed mrs fp the picture of your pop plus, she loves it

Ah okay. When you said branches I thought it might be a supermarket deal or something.

My Epson is apparently wireless. The 18 inches between computer, modem and printer seems to be insurmountable.

I would have better luck trying to send a signal to the Mars rover and getting it to print my stuff for me.

Roys Toys were last time we went. The main shop is a magnet for my missus whenever we go down that way.

That used to be our day out... Lived in a student house in Norwich with a girl from uni and the young vicar-girl who slept on our floor had a blue Nova saloon. She'd take us to Wroxham for a Maccies and we'd loiter for a while, despite there being signs all over the place saying NO LOITERING.

 

We were like that. Wacky.

 

I wonder what became of Charlotte, the goth vicar. She was brill.

On a similar theme, I'm watching the original Prime Suspect.  Chod-tastic! http://www.imcdb.org/movie_98898-Prime-Suspect.html

nice day for a run out in god's own country.

Got my 'cheat' box back from Dave earlier, all repaired and much upgraded. Watched TGT and was disappointed for the second time in this series only one decent bit (by the stupendous Mr May) but then watched 'Passengers' which was rather good. I have also decided, after much debate, that J Lawrence is a bit of all right!

 

Also went to the garage and had a word with the blokes digging the road up (yes, pretending to work on a Sunday... sat in the van actually, but close...) and they will be gone by the weekend they reckon so I should be able to get the car out... maybe. Good news is: my painted wing vents are a perfect colour match and so I now know that the nearest colour to Bentley Brewster Green is, Morgan Connaught Green. Who'd have thought it?

Swear filter lolz. The swear filter on the blue forum has changed my 'rocking horse shit' line into something way more eloquent.

Had a 900 mile round trip this weekend to go to a mates funeral near Dundee (obv that's not the grin) we decided to take the Ford xploder as it would be ultimatley more comfortable for a long journey than anything else we have / could borrow, it returned a not too terrible 24.8mpg at 70ish mph. Quite pleased with that.

Ours is even worse- my ipad has more chance of communicating with the dead than our printer.

Just been to A&E (swollen tissues in my wrist) and although the queue was stupidly long, I was in/out in what seemed like no time.
