There's  a Wimpy in Farnborough. I was in the area for work last autumn and recently went back for a weekend and the a Wimpy is still there.

One in Aldershot too,although it's not a separate shop,but is the food court inside the shopping centre.

Inexplicably, there is still a Wimpy in the centre of Huddersfield.

After years of beating the shit out of stuff in the vice or on the aide of the bench I recently bought a decent sheet metal folder after many years thinking about it. Tonight I decided to give it a go on 4 mounts I need to make. 

Turns out I can't use it to get two angles at different angles so out with the BFH and vice.

Just seen an Astra van for sale, £20k.
Fucking hilarious.

Depending what was in the back, that could be an absolute bargain. 

[xtriple]

Got the offer accepted on my Snap-on Die Grinder bits - £90 for 4! Oh well, Kyle should be happy, or not!

Been back for years. Only normally Graham ..  

 

It was a Sunday of Stourbridge finest - pwei, neds and stuffies.

 

 

Highlights of weekend include the legends that are the Sultans of ping, sice, Jim Bob, Tony Wright (including flogging me vinyl from his car boot (Corsa for those that care)) and the wedding present

 

Disappointed by Bob Mould, cast, lighting seeds and Babybird.

 

 

 

I now seem to have misplaced my jumper

 

 

 

Wow, I haven't seen the Sultans of Ping since their support act was Radiohead.

[The Moog]

Probably best band of weekend....

You sure you didn't do a @binhoker668 and sell it to one of the band members?

A typical Friday in the western isles.

I posted over on the Open Forum about the struggle I was having, learning my script for the play.  Well now it's a Grin.  We've finished the run and nobody (especially me) made any glaring mistakes, and the audiences of over 100 every night loved us.  I'm knackered now because I went to the after-show party.

I had misgivings about that, and was only planning to stay for an hour or so, but I got talking to a friend of one of the cast.  Until 3.30am!  No wonder I'm knackered!  It was like we had our own little corner and never even noticed the others leaving.

Finally been given a date that we're supposed to be getting the keys to the new house, predictably in two weeks' time, it's the 9th of December.  So the 14th of December is likely my actual moving date and I imagine that's going to be all sorts of fun getting a van for.

Unless, of course, the 9th rolls around and the solicitors decide it has to be another two weeks and then, because of seasonal disruptions, it actually can't be, and the whole thing rumbles on into next year.  This scenario is what I'm actually expecting.  Still, I'm supposed to be optimistic about this and this is the grin thread so yay, moving house finally I guess.

im not sure if this is any good for you given how frequently things change for you

but would it be possible to prebook the van in advance? or let them know your coming around that date so they can have a van free for you?

failing that, embrace your true inner shitter, and buy some shonky old van off ebay or something

I did wonder what the story was, because the timescale was right for it to have been Fenella, the Holmfirth tiger. Wrong markings though.

 

 

If you get chance, do read the book. If nothing else it proves that truth is surely stranger than fiction.
