I grew up in Little Common, parents still live there. If you've passed a house that had either a rotting Mk2 Golf, or a lichen-covered Scimitar, in the driveway, that's them.

Just spent the last half hour standing outside staring into the distance not really focused on anything in particular.

Currently drizzling and blowing a gale (well not really, but it's pretty windy by the standards of the norm for here).  It actually sounds like home outside to me.

I grew up on the top of a hill in northeast Scotland with very little by way of shelter around us - so "really windy" by our standards was "if you can lean fully into it at 45 degrees without falling over, then we'll agree it's windy..." - so it was usually pretty breezy year round.

You don't realise how much you miss things sometimes.

Not sure if that's made me feel more or less homesick...but I'm going for less for now I think...

Also have tracked down where a large contributor to the water getting into the van is coming from, which should save me a lot of guesswork now I know to look there.

Big day starting in about 8 hours, off to deliver the new Hubnut transport to him in Auckland. I Don't have any innerned access while not home so cannot track my travels. I have been hiding it on my driveway for a week but promised him it would not be revealed until he has the keys in his hand. Ian has his video at the ready to record it all !

Big day is complete, watch for forthcoming hubnut video, but he is very tired so may choose to sleep !

I don't care what he's done or not done, there's no excuse to key someone's motor, I sympathise with him and think it's a real shame he ends up having to rattle can it especially if he doesn't have the skilz.

He's done the whole car now. No masking up or anything. It's a really shitty matt black now with the odd shiny bit where he's had the nozzle too close. 

I'm not condoning keying his car or what he's done to it but he is a wanker as well tbf. Proper ignorant cunt who'll look you in the eye while completely ignoring you as you say hello a few times.

Show him this - it might cheer him up a bit

check out this fantastic photo in the Guardian today. Folk protesting in Lebanon. Looks like a photoshop or something from a computer game.

Just been given these by a mate who got to have a snout round the Corporation Tram sheds before they were demolished earlier this year and picked a few odds and sods up

Watched the rugby this morning, then swapped the valve on the header tank in the loft, fitted a new three way valve head and made up four jars of pickled onions and walked the dog in the rain. Not bad for a Saturday..........

Live shite spottage. 

Concerningly that parking job took about 6 mins. 

[Andyrew]

Backed into that post aswell . . .  Whilst it made me smile it concerns me that this person is driving.

It seems I own one of 'those' cars.

I just found a note on the windscreen of the 316, asking if it was for sale, with a name and a phone number.

 

Do I contact them to say no, or will they just assume no contact means it's not for sale?

Don't contact them.

Partner has sent me this link. Not bothered about the house in the slightest. How much shite could I store/hoard there. It could be my dream. She has £150k equity in her house and we could rent it for £700-£800 a month. No brainer. I've told her to get on the case.

Went to Sutton Hoo today with the family. Great day and learned a lot. The saxon king was called Raedwald. It's pronounced Radweld which reminded me of this place!

I went to Brighton yesterday to visit the (suprisingly good) Pusheen the cat themed Artbox cafe. 

On the way back home on the Daewoo we had to get some fuel.

Filled up, went to pay and the older chap cashier asked what pump. "number nine" I say. 

"Seventeen Pounds Something" he replied

"Sounds about right, three gallons" I go back with.

His eyes light up 

"Is that right?" he asks.

"I think so, 13.62 litres?" I said

His mind was blown. Kept talking about how amazing it was, I said that it makes working out the MPG easier if you fill in gallons and remember what you put in, I have memorized my 4.54 times table up to 10.

Seemed to make his day that one. Nice chap!

Got absolutely wankered on the works do last night. Wasn't feeling it at first, but it was a late one and a brilliant night.

 

Have also discovered where the water is coming in from the garage next to mine, should be able to fix it with silicone or concrete or something.
