In the time it would taken me to read that I’d have been in the rear end of the nearest truck!

Now this is what i call a decent fathers day present.

A 1/10 scale Tamiya Brat.

Men of a certain age will understand.

Cheers Son.

Just looking at Vans on Ebay

There was a time when £75,000 would have bought you some Italian exotica , not any more , a very quiet LDV with no payload I'd guess if it's full of batteries

 

[Tamworthbay]

LDV went bust years ago. Has someone bought the name up? And if so, wtf would you do that?

[Wack]

Crazy isn't it, a transit would cost 30% of that money , 35k buys a lot of diesel 

[wuvvum]

My Maxus cost me less than 1% of that.  With the number of miles I do in a van I reckon I'd break even shortly before my 256th birthday.

The MR2 made it through but the Picasso's electrics sh*t itself before it freewheeled in to the water, stranding  its four occupants.

I went to Scarborough, in Oxfam. North Face boots for £5.99? Really? 

I'm a 9 and these are a 8.5. But I'm taking them no matter what. Tried them on and they fit. 

I then spent £7 on cleaner and rewaterproofing spray. ?

 

Hopefully you can see before and after.

This at the tip:

Followed by this at the seaside:

[Wack]

Boot sale this morning was like a new eastern European country had just joined the EU and they'd been coached in , I've never seen so many there.

Every boot had 30 people trying to get in it as soon as it was open,  they'd then offer 50% of asking whatever that was 

One guy picked something up said how much , she said £5

He said, I give you £1 like he was doing her a favour 

Her reply 

Fuck off 

Billy Connolly was right, fuck off is the universal language because he did just that, fucked off like he'd been slapped round the face 

 

 

[wuvvum]

Optimism.

[DoctorRetro]

My 7 Yr old son is obsessed with all things Marvel/Avengers/Superheroes etc. 

But he insist on referring to the villain in the Avengers as 'Vanos'

?

I think he's on to something... 

[Tamworthbay]

It’s been a funny old year to say the least, some shit news, of which the cancer of my 29yr old nephew and severe illness of my nieces baby being the worst. The nipper is recovering well after a heart op a couple of weeks back and heard today that my nephew has had the all clear. Thank fuck we have our NHS.

Watched “Foxy Brown” the other night.  Pam Grier woke feelings in me I no longer thought I had

[Wack]

She barely aged between the early 70s and the late 90s because she took great care of that body 

I cant believe Jackie brown is 22 years old, where did that go 

 

[Parky]

I know, it’s like the world kept ageing but she didn’t.  She’s a whole lotta woman
