Found this in a charity shop book recently, used as a bookmark. March 1995. No trace of the Volvo online, sadly.

^I never knew he was a kwik-fit fitter

 

No wonder he looks a happy at the thought of checking your ball joints and testing your shockers

Is this a sign from above to wash the car more often?

 

[Guest Hooli]

I have started to wonder about taking a £100 total shed and putting it up for £800. Then accept the first £350-£400 that is offered.

 

Isn't that how most independent car sales places work?

Picked up a 1979 book of the future at a boot sale

 

I'm particularly looking forward to the Olympics on the moon in 2020 but they're going to have to get a move on to get it ready in 2 years

Still laughing about the supercharged 'bad arse' mini featured in the eBay tat thread

One of the internal doors in the bakery needs renewing.  We've known about this for months, if not years, it's probably original to the building, which is mid-Victorian.  So I said I'd keep an eye out for a suitable door in a skip, as new ones simply don't come in the same sort of size.

So round the corner from me is a big old pub being converted into "serviced apartments."  I noticed a few weeks ago that a big old door had been left outside on the site and thought it would be about the right size.  Conveniently, it's across the road from one of my deliveries.  So today I asked.  Oh yes, it could be available, £20 sir.  (Which I'm totally sure went straight into the bloke's pocket, but ok, I don't begrudge him some salvage.)  So I finished my round and went back to the bakery to unload and pass on the info to my boss, Brian.  He couldn't get his wallet out fast enough!  "Would you mind going back for it now?"  Not at all Brian, I'm on your time and your diesel so it's fine by me.

Went back, saw the same bloke, collected the door and paid him.  Bloody hell that door's heavy!  It is exactly what we needed for the bakery, but it'll need trimming down before we can fit it.  I wonder who will be doing the work?

I like the look of that book of the future, my nephew loves that kind of stuff. Let's have a look and see if there are any on eBay ?

 

Hells Bollocks - how much ?

 

 

I'll keep an eye on the charity shops then

Got a stupid collection thread planned involving two countries, two cars and a train and around 700 miles

Wow I'm rich beyond my wildest dreams I paid a quid for it

[loserone]

Bloody hell, my rents have a bunch of 70/80s Usborne books, I wonder if thy're all like that

Think I've still got one entitled The Countryside...... Actually not a bad book by today's standards.

I fucking love charity shops, proper shops are boring, all the same, you never know what you'll find inside odd smelling business rates exempt establishments.

 

This was priced at £8, fuck that, but wait, it's an everything half price day! Might just clean my car now, even has soap for bird shit, comprehensive.

 

 

£1. Dated 1993, which is just fine as there was nothing left to learn after 1993, just silliness. Utter silliness. 

 

 

Behold the quality of content. White coats with breast pockets of multiple biro occupation. These guys KNOW what they're about. Not in the slightest are they ignoring scandalous panel gaps whilst debating VHS v. Betamax.

 

 

Look at this definitive who's who list of what matters, albeit with a few queer looking tyre aspect ratios.

 

 

I'm ashamed to admit I've only owned 3 of the above, I'll have to pencil something in the empty spot at the end.

 

[eddyramrod]

I've had 9, but then I'm old, so I had them when they were cheap!

[vulgalour]

Grandad, Grandad, wake up!  It's time to go home!

 

Wha... WHAT?  I'm awake already, stop POKING me!

 

First though, I just need a little drinky, then we'll be good to go, kiddo.

 

 

 

Grandad Six off for it's MoT tomorrow now Mike's sorted out the electricity problem.  Lazy starter motor to deal with after that.

[hairnet]

Er, what?

Utterly wank Compaq pc

[Cavcraft]

Some right frothing at the mouth coffin dodger at work was going on at me at work because I had the gall to put a fucking cardboard box in ‘his’ skip.

Just watched him piss off through my binoculars and have gone back for three wheeliebins full of waste.

Pick the bones out of that one, wank face.

[DodgeRover]

Expect tyres and asbestos back in yours to return the favour?

[Parky]

Wife has a friend coming over later and asked me to tidy the house.

 

Tidying has consisted of many cups of tea, two episodes of The Grand Tour, and a sandwich.

 

[Datsuncog]

^^ Sounds bang tidy to me.

Spray pledge on the phone handset. Soon as she answers the phone she'll be impressed at just how thorough you've been.

 

My sister got through her teenage years with this "chore".

Don't forget to spray it on the door post at head height as well

Save time, squirt her straight in the mush when she walks through the door.

I don't think he will win, not with the cars Cav can get hold of.

Cut back an ash tree in the garden, very long branches, so as per stuffed them in the local wood (ash grows there so no foul play on my part). Lo and behold, lying there in the bushes is a wheel arch liner from a random GM. Funny that, I'm missing a liner on the PTSD - it's only a bleedin' perfect fit, innit ?
