The cheap as fuck tripod came for my cheap ebay 50w Led's, so I wired it up here and there today

Its bloody bright! Want it for filming but I also see the potential for outdoor winter car swearing tasks

Might need a more waterproof switch though

Cable taken from this fucking stupid thing

My box of stratocell packaging sheets arrived earlier and I set to in maximum giffer mode drawing round the shambolic contents of my tool chest drawers, followed by cutting out with a stanley blade (like middle school DT) resulted in THIS

In all 12 drawers. lovely and OCD'd into place and no more rattling around and mixing the sizes of spanner up. immensely satisfying.

But...

 

That space could have had MORE TOOLS in.

Yes they are staying although they may well change colour along with the front grill to red or vivid green.

Also very much staying  is the Ivor Serle rebuilt 1275cc Midget engine,the Sierra 5 speed box,the Marina Disc brakes and the uprated suspension.

Will that not melt when the tools with oil and fuel residues touch it?

Quite possibly, yes. We'll see. I think this stuff is quite plastcky, moreso than polystyrene anyway.

[beko1987]

I've just had the strangest parcel... 

No note, but full of hdi fuel and oil filters... 

Either

A - thank you kind stranger (no note) (or I've forgotten a PM) 

B - if someone's put the wrong label on a box PM me! 

Again, don't know who it's from but my spidey senses presume this is a good place to start...

Just got this email  , for a second I was wondering what'd I'd done

but nothing with my name or vehicle reg on why would they be emailing me 

I'm sure £12.24 buys a decent car where the sender originates from, maybe they though £48.96 was far too much to ask to be serious,  that's a car and a speedboat

Got the exact same with the same reference numbers etc.

I'll leave it in your capable hands to pay it then 😉. 

[hairnet]

also if you google the number tfl comes up as well as 'these numbers are fake' etc

[yes oui si]

Having to get breakfast where I can due to being quarantined, so no duck eggs, half inch bacon slabs or local sausages and puddings for me... It's whatever could be got at a shop and left on my doorstep. 

Small victories, bonus fruit pudding.

Winner!

I received that HMRC penalty notice too, although they managed to spell 'penalty' correctly in the message, the subject line said 'penality' which didn't make it look too convincing, although compared to one I had from 'Loyds' Bank a few years back it wasn't a bad effort

You know you live near Bradford when Facebook's advertising algorithm thinks one person would be interested in all 4 of these things.

How long have you been a super flying / successful scrapyard owner, looking for a new ‘on site’ guard dog kennel, while worrying what people will feel about your acne? Or is that just your FaceBark persona?

I fear you have been keeping things from us Mr Dave Q, if that is your real name...

[beko1987]

Went into Robert dyas earlier, and saw one of these in the cheap bin (ex display) 

Fancied trying one for ages, so picked it up and once the cheap shit app was sorted, it plays with my Google home nicely, and emits not half bad light either. 

Went on ebay just now and bought 2 more for not much more than the £7 one above, for the 2nd front room and hall light... What a bargain*

But they want to give me money, I've just had a text telling me there is an income tax rebate for me.
