I Joined the gym at the arse end of last year i go 3 times a week, i feel much better in myself for the exercise and the gaining of strength, ive lost about 2 stone in flab as well, my body is apparently 8% fat now

Well done on the weight loss, 8% fat is bloody low - Roughly where a pro cyclist is at the end of a grand tour such as the TdF

Yes I know I didn't put the lap joint bit back in but who'll notice when it's filled and painted?

Self-dentistry rocks!

I've attacked a broken rear molar in my lower jaw that was cutting my tongue with a rotary engraving tool in the past...it was a good 12 or so years before a dentist saw it.

Why was it broken? There was an impacted wisdom tooth breaking it up!

I pulled out a rear molar with some curved pliers, as I kept getting infections under it, and it became loose.

I accidentally clicked like on that post when browsing on my phone earlier.

 

I feel that I should just confirm that it was totally accidental and I'm not a complete thick bastard like laddo here who thinks it's fantastic news that American companies will soon be able to pour glowing green industrial waste into rivers and stuff.

"green industrial waste".........."rivers and stuff"................where are you getting your strange ideas from.???

 

"thick bastard like laddo here".......???      One of the two of us is misinformed.............one of us is not.

 

This is the grin thread, it would be good if some folk remember that, ........and not get offended........ because they happen to have a different idea of reality.

 

Research, Study and Learn.................I suggest basic Science to begin with...............and yes..........I'm grinning.

Yes, I know nothing about basic science. On your advice I'll go and read about "basic science" and I'll get back to you when I've read enough to make me think that, actually, 99% of independent scientists are wrong, and it's the oil companies who are right - we're taking too much care of the planet and that it's a good idea to pollute it even more especially if it can make a lot of money for some companies. 

I probably wouldn't wait up for me though because it might take a while.

The BBC Radio 4 adaptation of Lord of the Rings. The scene where Boromir attempts to take the Ring from Frodo is almost certainly my favorite and IMO much better than the films, which almost seemed to rush the scene like they were getting short on run time.

I have to like your post....................your still a erm a buddy I suppose .............I just wish people would please try to glean some very substantial facts via learning from study............and sort the chaff from the wheat...so to say.........Oh, and substitute the word company from the word government............and 99% scientistsLOLOLOLOLOLOOLOOLOOLOLOLLOOLOLOLOLOOLOLOLOLOLOLOLL.  Research my friend.

 

 

 

Still laughing on the grin thread. :-D

Ragged senseless for a day and half 300 miles

 

Used just over 6 gallons

 

Caned it up the n52 private race track saw 4 cars and Audi that followed me thru kells disappeared in The twisty bit after that :)

 

1.2 apparently

 

And the sun came out as I dropped it off

 

But this at 8am - the reason I didn't use the bike

 

P5b spotted this morning coming other way near delvin

Back door sorted! Rick came round, collected it and took it away to attend, just returned and all is once again spot on. It's jolly useful having a good (great) painter on retainer :)

 

Especially one that seems to be quite keen to get away from the wife and kids, even on a Sunday!

My new phone handset: every time I have to write a "dash" symbol, it auto-completes with "-144-gl-auto"!

I'll wave to him if I see him on my travels. That can only be NZ - modern Hiace on awful rims and ropey Legacy with primer coloured front bumper were dead giveaways.

and on his travels - wanaka now he spots this :D

This happened today, 400K and still going.

Even more amazing is that I've done 300K of that and not died of boredom driving this DW8 "powered" van.

Impressive, what vehicle is it?

Oprah Winfrey is there atm, maybe it is hers. It does qualify as rare here.

I got my hands on a Yamaha guitar for £20 as there was a major fault with it as it wouldn't tune and stay in tune. Looking at it I couldn't see how there could be too much wrong so took a punt. A quick strip and clean showed that the springs underneath needed adjusting and now all is well.

The guy is leaving the country so needed to clear out and mentioned he had some other stuff going, £12 got me a quality tuner, stand, set of new strings, a winder tool AND this amp:

I just can't believe it, after feeling shit about the news about my eye yesterday, this has really cheered me up no end! (All his prices, not mine by the way and a really nice bloke as well).

Fancied a wee snack at work...I had one and a half slices left of a loaf from a fortnight ago, still with no green bits on it, so it goes into the toaster...and found some butter in the work fridge with a "best before" of 24 Jun on it, but still tastes ok...that'll do!

I was working in a recycling place today and spotted three Dyson DC04s with the bit we need for ours.post-168-0-11211100-1487699262_thumb.jpg

 

They are £5 a pop on eBay and the last one I got didn't fit because Dyson seem incapable of making two parts the same.

Just got every single pointless answer for 'battle or Britain aircraft' :-) Glad to see my pre teenage years weren't entirely wasted.
