Can't believe you haven't measured it.

41 x 29 inches. 

I measured the back seat before I went to get it.

It’s actually frightening - they seem so completely unaware that I doubt they’re fit to drive.  Not to be all “omg think of the children” but it’s a busy pedestrian thoroughfare (doesn’t look it at 9.30am admittedly) and it could quite easily not have been a cone they hit. 

Or they could be thinking 'it's only a fucking cone'. Some people have a complete disregard for cones and either move them or drive over them, depending on which car they're driving.

My new job involves servicing and repairs on compressed air systems along with a bit of tool calibration and yesterday i came across my first one of these.

Known as an Excalibur because of its blingy handle it can measure from 650 to 1500 Nm and is priced at a very modest £500.

Trying to get it to click at 1500 Nm when car wheel bolts are around 120Nm had me pushing down on it with both feet nearly off the ground.

I know we like to moan about Euro carp hearts, but in case anyone else still uses them they have a big DFS style ‘sale’ with payday50 as the code, just got £50 off rear brakes for the V70. Its a bit better than the normal 30% they do most weeks.

Hmm there no longer seems to be any worry about people setting fire to their clothes and getting first degree burns because they stood too close to the fire  to look in the mirror.

Maybe because I'm from an age when there were open fires and highly flammable dresses and nighties

Walking along beside a main road earlier, I heard an unusual sounding exhaust note.  I scrambled up the grass bank and just about managed to pap this:

A LWB Austin Pikey still working for a living. 

Then about 20 minutes later it drove past me again, having unloaded its trailer. 

So much more interesting than a Series Landy.

Nice pic of the beach, sea, and overcast sky. Very moody. You could get lost just staring at this pic, you can almost hear the sea rolling in, then the sound of the rocks and pebbles as the sea pulls back out again.

Nature is beautiful, just look at it. Immerse yourself in it.

 

Look again. 

It's the bottom of a car door.

I’m sure no one here will have a problem with you wearing dresses and nighties

Only yesterday was there a comment on radio4  about comedians running the country, and I said to my colleague that the only comedian I’d want was Eddie izzard. He then suggested al Murray, and we both decided that Harry Hill should be health secretarY.

You will be aware that Ukraine elected an actual comedian as President,  while Italy arguably kicked the whole trend off by propelling Beppe Grillo (another comedian) and his 5-star Movement into political prominence.

Satire has never had it so good.

Some of them probably have similar quantities of wob hidden deep down!

One of the nearby busy roads a local 'trader' always has some shonky shite up for sale, run of the mill shit.  At the moment it seems he's gone for a bulk buy 

There's no less than 8 tired looking zafira B's lined up on the grass and communal car park.  And that's just from A quick glance as I drive past.
