Cavcraft Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Doing/finishing this today... 18 mile bike ride, 11 mile walk, 7 mile (3 man) kayak along the canal. Laughably as none of us had rowed before, we just assumed the kayak leg would take 1.5 hours or less. As soon as we got in, we hit the bank on the other side to the amusement of everyone on the bank, then hit the bank countless more times along the way, rammed a few other kayaks and canoes, got overtaken by kids of about nine and people who looked well into their seventies and nearly went in a few times. I hated every minute of the first 45 minutes or so, then it just became a very tiring but massive laugh. Right at the end two women in their 50s tried to overtake us, hit the bank and went in big time, we couldn't help them for laughing but they were ok. TL:DR: Anyone who says rowing is easy can GTFO dave21478, pompei, STUNO and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthbay Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I noticed that if something slightly overlaps the bottle of shampoo my daughter uses it reads 'real kids poo' instead of L'Oréal kids shampoo.

barmatt Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Got one for each of the Grump and Grin threads. Grump, Having to work on a Sunday morning when you've already worked your day off this week and it looks like you'll be working at least half of your day off next week. Grin, Getting paid time and a half to work on a Sunday morning and the weather is shit so there's nobody around, which means I've been doing bugger all apart from drinking coffee, eating bacon and talking shite on here. Silver linings and all that. eddyramrod, myglaren, adw1977 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overrun Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Old mate down the road caught me in the street, earlier and gave me these 40-50 year old dollies.I don't even know the fella, but that was very kind of him. He said his son didn't want them, so I will add them to my Clarke collection. DVee8, chodweaver, Vantman and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

castros_bro Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Had a FTP the evening before a Gatwick flight, hole in the diesel filter housing sucking in air, found a Rover 25 Diesel filter and a bit of string as a secure mounting. Stanky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobthebeard Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 This.... Wilkinsons wet and dry emery paper packaging.Am unclear why the elephants.'A smoother finish when wet' depicted by some wrinkled and decidedly un smooth wet elephants. 'Especially suitable for smoothing filler and cleaning electrical contacts' leaves me similarly bemused, but amused. Although my latest 'nothing to lose' efforts at spraying the Oldsmobile in satin black is maybe what Wilkinsons cleverly foresaw. purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowperil Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 As part of getting the Renault Modus on the road I had to change both dipped beam bulbs, because the last time it was driven both had packed up.I had all the plastics off the top of the engine to put a new battery on and had read on a forum about someone who managed to change the bulbs "from the top" so I thought I would try.New battery on, turn lights on to see what was what and the drivers side is working, bonus!So I set to,trying to do the passenger side and got the cover off the back and was trying to figure the clip out without being able to see it,wiggling it when I noticed the bulb was on.I wiggled everything and couldn't get it to go out again, so cover back on and I shall drive at night praying to the French God of illumination.The other grin is the lorry I was driving three days ago caught fire today on the A47 and everyone got away unhurt. chodweaver and purplebargeken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 The other grin is the lorry I was driving three days ago caught fire today on the A47 and everyone got away unhurt.There were a lot of people whingeing about that at work this morning...

yellowperil Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 If it's any consolation I got caught up in the traffic myself. It really did make a massive tailback. The time from when the crew saw the smoke to the flames taking hold was very short, so they were very lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hooli Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I saw a real proper genuine Lotus Carlton in the wild tonight, not seen one for years. Still a bloody wonderful looking motor, wish I could afford one. John F and The Moog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hooli Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Can't beat a nice bit of crack to cheer you up... Anti-depressants always make me chuckle, I've never seen any that don't list suicidal thoughts as a side effect. Which seems to be proof they do fuck all as why else would you be on them? outlaw118 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
