I was more high fiving for menthols aha.I cant roll to save my life. But good call on the Richmond Superkings pog, the only proper (if were being pedantic) fags.I tell you what makes me happy, getting a 6.95 box of chocolates for £1.50 for being a day past best before, and there was no bloom. Win.And I only have 2 more days of college thank god. Its been pretty hectic.

News of much greatness from the Cavette houseold:

 

Been working on the missus and sneakily hiding a certain someone away when people came to collect her brothers and sisters.

 

I've managed to work round swmbo and we're going to be keeping this young lady...

 

 

That's the greatest news of EVAH as far as I'm concerned

[Mr H Sceptre]

Thats a BIG WIN Cavette.

That is superb. And very accurate too. Scouse Paddington Bear pretty good too

This cheered me up a lot today. Everybody on the planet should listen to this(even if it is a bit long).

Right now it is snowing in Copenhagen; that gives me a very nice warm feeling inside

[Mr Lobster]

Just been over to Yorkshire and back tonight - about 60 mile round trip. It's snowing, councils haven't been gritting so its sticking and everything is very slippery.I love this. Takes a bit more effort, concentration and precision but you can still make reasonable progress and have the warm glow of satisfaction and a bit of pride at still being able to drive in more challenging conditions. Moar snowz pleez.

Got told from a mate: seemingly someone at his works had been telling the world and his wife he didn't need or want to join the union, and how he could 'stand up for himself'.Now, for a reason I honestly don't know he wants the union's help. They have told him they can't help and even if they could they wouldn't

[brammy777]

I love how cheap old car books are on amazon, sure the 1p plus postage is a bit of a scam but oh well, you cant get them cheaper anywhere else.

this scarcely-believeable story happened to someone you dont know, who works at the same place as your mate? You must be jumping for joy at that fantastic outcome then, what a result .

for me its when i say to my kids, now when i was your age/////////

I think that’s a bit strong really. Precisely this scenario has unfolded at my workplace in the last month. In lieu of signed minutes and witness statements though I suppose that’s scarcely believable too. Happy Christmas.

Making me happy - getting home from Liverpool in 4 hours, despite (a) Getting stopped by the motorway wombles in a road-block on the M6 for half an hour( Having to make an emergency piss-stop (see Grumpy thread)© Having to stop again 5 mins later when the washers ran out of fluid(d) the A14 & A1 being particularly snowy pretty much from Catthorpe to Poggleswade, slow & steady won the race. Now having some time with the Poglets. Though I fear the boost from 2 tins of "relentless" and copious cigs is going to wear off shortly.... ...Zzzzzzzzzz

My poiint was, who gets excited about generic stories of mild misfortune happening to people they dont know, for reasons the dont know? Its like someone saying, 'I was on the bus earlier and I overheard a stranger saying their mate had tripped on a banana skin a few weeks ago, HA HA HA HOW HILARIOUS IS THAT'

There's more to it than I can go in to on here. Whether you chose to believe it or not is as relevant to me as what you had for breakfast this morning.I found it amusing because I'm a proud union member.What I'm doing explaining myself to you I don't know. I'll go and take my tablets now

[Lankytim]

But Cavmad, all unions are useless arnt they? Except you can have a union rep present when you get fired for gross misconduct or similar.I unions need more POWAH.. but not too much, obv.Different topic..A few weeks ago the driver door handle on the Audi stopped working, forcing me to gain access through the passenger door, lean across and open the drivers door. By the time id got round to the drivers side to get in the door had usually slowly swung closed. V amusing for bystanders.I finally got round fixing it a few days ago. Took the door apart expecting to find a rod had popped off. Nope the handle casting had bust. Ive got a set of spare doors from a donor Audi 100 I broke up recently. Typically every handle was buggered and hanging off or held together with self-tapping screws... all except the drivers door handle. Which turned out to be brand new. RESULT!I can now access my Audi through the drivers door using my BRAND NEW- UNBODGED door handle... and im very pleased... so pleased I went into the garage last night just to look at it.Now all ive got to do is replace the heater matrix. I drove to Bristol and back this morning. and it was frigging cold! (no snow though)

[Rusty Pelican]

Lankytim , if the door handles are the same as the Golf ones they are totally useless , had two give up on my old 80 , Snapped one clean off pulling the door too hard

[Lankytim]

I had heard they are utter guff and break easily. Its the second handle ive replaced since Ive owned the car. They look identical to MK2 Golf and Polo door handles so I wouldnt be surprised if theyre the same.

[Cavcraft]

Union at our place are shit hot Tim and very helpful.

I have to say as an ex shop steward, I have never been anything but disapointed and let down by the unions I have had an assosiation with... to the extent I will have nothing to do with them anymore............

Buying 1:43 models. Due to general work crapness ATM I have decided to buy myself the two 1:43 models I've been wanting for TIME. Some searching brought them up at a decent price, these being an Ebbro Mazda AZ 1 and a Norev Isuzu Asso Di Fiori (Piazza concept car) to go with my Diapet Impulse.Set me back just shy of £40, but I don't really give a toss.
