Antibiotics make me grin!, After literally telling my Mrs to kill me last week as I was in that much pain, I'm now back on full form, what an absolute bloody miracle they are.

She's still gonna kill you though... Just wasn't last week!

It seems you have. Well spotted!  Trying to stop his Allegro’s bonnet flying off by the look of it.

That reminds me, I owe @Tayne a drink...

If @Mr_Bo11ox gets his hoof on with the horsebox he could open an entire mobile branch of the barber shoppe group...

How often do you get interviewed from the driver's seat of a 1986 MG Metro?

Got the bookshelf in as well, a true pro

I hope there was something for the perma-triggered to get excited about on the shelves, a sneeky copy of Mein Kampf, one of Irving's books on the Reich, Mao's little red book, vivisection for the amateur, that kind of thing.

Idriveaclassic has done a test on my former neighbour's old XR2.

Lovely car that was.  Looking even better now tbh.

Gave son a covid hair cut yesterday. Not sure if he's happy or not.
A bit like the mona lisa smile.

Were you aiming for the coconut effect?

He's too busy on guard duty for that. He's keeping an eye on the van.

My grandmother had a pair of Staffordshire pottery dogs that sat on the windowsill like that.

This made me grin this morning, sorry for the crap pic from the dashboard pocket before the lights changed, I bring you, a plastic pig with reversing sensors! (And a hand brush painted stripe from front to back)

He spends most of his time there. It's a job in itself cleaning his snots off the window. Strangely though the only person he barks at is the window cleaner. He's not phased by the postman or delivery drivers etc.

Good to see that it's still around. I used to have the pleasure of regularly seeing it on my way into work and he'd be heading the opposite way.

The talbot express facebook group is always a laugh - the lengths people will go to avoid fixing something. Give me fucking strength! The side repeater is 18" away from the indicator, there is line of sight between them. "Nope, instead of running a short length of wire, I will fill and paint the holes on both sides of the van and have no visible indicators.

A few weeks ago someone fitted JML touch lights and AA powered fairly lights all around the inside of their van and was dead pleased with herself, it was apparently "easier than finding a new fuse to get the normal interior lights working".

 

A few weeks before that some decided she didn't like cupboard doors on her motorhome, so she simply unscrewed them all and gave them away immediately.

More from the talbot express facebook group:

 

These are from someones "How to guide" on repairing scuttle rot. He's filled the whole thing with expanding foam and fillered over it. I don't think the wiper mechanism will have room to move, he's just literally spunked tins full of it up from underneath

If anyone else out there is getting as pissed off with MS teams meetings as I am, I’ve just found a neat little trick...

Take a picture of what is normally seen in the background of your video. Load it into your backgrounds and show it. 

Get a gif or similar of someone talking (I used a glitching version of Max Headroom) and pull it up on your phone.

Put the phone image in front of the computer camera and the software drops the background of Max and imposes it into your background!

Raised a few smiles in an otherwise boring meeting.

 

All in need to do now is find one of those apps that has an image and mouths what you say.

I was thinking of using a glove puppet next time I have to use the camera in Skype meetings. Or I'm sure I could get a string or something to work Carruthers' jaw

 

[Roobarb]

You could always take a quick video of Carruthers and play it back in front of the video (with backgrounds turned on).

One guy in the ‘office’ has one of those googley finger puppet monsters with wavey arms in front of his camera.

I always new this about sparkys
Local van while out walking the dog this morning.

My history teacher was called Mr Carruthers! I think he died a few years ago. Hopefully it's not the same one!
