Okay, there's one perk to having to remain indoors ,

A Strong cheddar and raw onion sandwich. 

Its Been many a year since I last had one and it too requires isolation and distancing from others after consumption for at least 48hrs. 

There was a bloke that worked for me about ten years ago that used to eat raw garlic. Terrible going anywhere in the van with him.

Car multi cover insurance renewal due today , so why the grin when your paying out money? Well i rang the renewal hotline went through the details.

Do you have any other insurance with us he asked,umm i think home insurance,I'll just check he says oh yes you do.So he gave me a £34  discount for both cars so £68,off bringing the cost for both to just over £500..

No traffic means I can block the road with gay abandon to sort out my big logs:

Came from the felling of the monster beech tree on the right, and the quickest way to cart them for splitting / storing is to hoy them off the bank and chuck them in the LR. Still literally tons to shift.

Went to the hospital for a check-up on my hand and its making a full recovery. Celebrated by driving home!

Just the bad breath, or did he have some other odd habits too?...

Laughable as only pride was hurt (and a little chod). 

Driving home from work on Friday night (med device company, so on skeleton staff), I came over the bridge onto the island I live on. 
Weirdly, just to my right as I came over the bridge, there is this huge explosion of water followed by a similarly huge tidal wave. Took me a second to realize that some guy in his car, came flying around the corner (30mph limit) and saw a stopped car in front of him, took to my side of the street, lost control and dropped into the lake!

I pulled over to check the driver was okay. Ran over there to his now floating car. I could see him struggle with the door but I shouted not to open it and to wind the window down. 
‘You okay?’

’Shit! Shit, shit, shit!’

’You okay...?’

’Er... yeah, I think so’

’You must have been hacking on there’

‘Er, no... I think it was the summer tyres’ (Quick thinking there by Mr Amazed)

At which point a boat that was in the bay started powering over to him. I turned around and left, snapping these quick pics on the way.

I have to say, his troublesome ‘summer tyres’ probably have flat spots on them now! 30mph my arse!!!

 

here he is on his Polish vacation

I dread to think how many hours worth that is!

Still, can’t think of a better time to do it.

He was fecking useless at everything to. I had a two year old 2005 fiat ducato at the time. I asked him to drive so I could eat my chinese. I looked up at we were flying through these bends (60 limit) jostling us about.

I asked him why the fuck are you going so fast!! His reply was 'We're only doing 30'.

He was looking at the fecking rev counter!!

Its the normal Kirby Suds-O-Gun, but I raided the bathroom for bubble bath so it doesn't fuck their skin up. Infact I've just got a few bottles down now. All left over from when amy moved out

And I may have dug the hose out for my Heritage 2 so they can have one each tomorrow... 

Gonna be very anti-social but very fun! I've also got firm plans in my head for a massive upgrade in the summer but I'll keep quiet on that for now

I aquired an 80's Adria caravan last year and spied this equally 80's all singing all dancing Sharp RG9500 screwed to a cupboard inside it.

After a quick clean up i wired it up on to a battery charger and the radio works just fine but the tape side of things is a bit on the slow/distorted side.

Also in the van were these 30w speakers with built in tweeters that can be swivelled around by rotating a thumb wheel.

80's coolness or what.

And while i was scratch arsing about for things to occupy me i re found a pool ball gear knob i bought from a lad off here a few years back.

I got it for my Subaru but it didn't feel right so i put it somewhere safe and i found it again today and it fits my old Hiace just right.

I paused the TV t go downstairs to put  on the oven

Quest are showing the first series of Wheeler Dealers. 

Ed looks about 12 and Mike isn't even obese. 

Better still, they bought a reasonable mk1 Golf Gti for £650!

these are the wrong alloys (steels)

gearboxes are problem on early volkswagens (golf had been out 30 years - beetle in uk 57)

theyve always needed to sack the researchers or at least the script people - annoys me
