How fucking cool is that? I wish my lad Bernard, wanted to be a mini me.

And obvs apologies if it's too politic.

He looks like he's been picked up directly from school for toffs just for that picture

No, prep school uniforms are far smarter than that.

[Wack]

I meant more like The Beano School for toffs

Speaking of which I managed to bag 20 copies of The Beano including delivery for £17. First thing my son has been genuinely interested in reading. I think that's a win!

Could be worse.  At least it's not a Mk1 Clio and a dolly.

This is Norman

He or possibly she is the only survivor of a nest falling off a customers wall in last weeks storms.  Hopefully it can fly away in a few weeks with the wild ones.  I hope it will take to eating insects as it is mostly eating mince at the moment.

[Fumbler]

Norman looks lovely! Hope he lives to fly in the wild again.

[clayts450]

Note to self : when getting thoroughly pissed off with a stripped screw to the extent even an impact driver won't shift it, put spectacles on, look at said screw and then identify it has a hex-shape and can simply be cracked off with a ratchet and appropriate socket.

Twat.

Maybe you should train it to try linguine.

I bet that was a spit their tea out moment as he went past 

I saw a transit car transporter with a vauxhall Movano van on it on the M62 at oldham heading straight for the weighbridge , but they weren't there 

If it was empty as delivered new I'd think he was 700kg overloaded

[mat_the_cat]

I've just found out that my best mate has got a pair of tickets to see the Pixies (we're both fans) which he'd bought ages ago and forgotten about! It works out really well for timing too, as although he's 200 miles away, it's the day before (and on the way to) another friend's 40th party near Brighton. A road trip, friends, a gig and a party - sounds like a  most excellent weekend coming up

I saw a bloody dropside/tipper Transit with a MWB Transit hanging out the back of it yesterday.  Wish I had a photo.

Wow. That looks exactly like the truckers place I stopped over at in Bristol a couple of years ago, except no TV and wardrobes looked like they had been found by the side of the road.

OUTBID! Wasn't looking forward to driving to... Cramlington!

Someone I know well had his four-year-old in prep school. Prior to their meeting his other half  had bought a ex-local authority house on the edge of what used to be Europe's largest housing estate. Negative equity meant that they were in no position to move at that point in time so little Jonny - with his floppy hair do, shorts, blazer, knee high socks and school cap - looked quite a sight on the way to and from school compared with the other kids in the area.

I posted this on another forum as a reply to folk talking about Barry Sheene, seemed to go down well, so here it is again;

 

Barry & I go back years.

There was the time I was driving home along the old A6 dual carriageway in my Cavalier 2, a pair of headlights loomed up in my mirror and obviously being a bit of a young twunt, I booted it & kept this motor car behind me until the roundabout, whereupon I dropped it down a cog & booted it once more. Sadly for me, the Toyota Supra behind, dropped it two cogs and with twice the cubic capacity left me completely for dead. I was a little embarass when the number plate read BS 7.
And in a further heartwarming tale of days gone by, when Barry used to race or do whatever he did at Donington Park, he always used to stay at the Donington Manor Hotel, he was often to be found behind the bar serving a few pints & chatting with the locals.
Although I suspect he recognised me as the nob in the Vauxhall.

What is making me grin tonight?

Sitting in the evening sun drinking ice cold beer.

Just come in to get a fresh one, and thought I would post this so you can all enjoy* it with me!
