eddyramrod Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 @Dobloseven is blessed with a musical family, and one of his offspring lives in Barrow. Said offspring has got "in" with a local church and is running a series of free concerts of assorted classical music. I've just come back from one. Lovely! The players (and one singer) involved are so damn talented! It's a privilege to be there when they're performing.

wuvvum Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I was thinking about wheel sizes earlier (whilst looking for front tyres for the Visa), and I realised that in my current fleet I have two with 16" wheels, two with 15s, two with 14s, two with 13s and two with 12s.

calebaaront Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Tackled the lights on the Trabi today so they now all work! I'm just ignore that passenger window fell off the runners. So I had to reinstall the window in the dark and pouring down rain.... Dyslexic Viking, Remspoor, Yoss and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSdriver Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 A customer flew in from Sweden today specifically to pick up a couple of pieces of acrylic for his yacht hatches. It was cheaper for him to do this including hire car charges than getting them made in Germany. myglaren and Remspoor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverFolkUs Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Found a person that removes headlight bulbs from a car prior to sale... Used bulbs for a fiver each anyone? 😂 They've probably skinned their knuckles fishing them out just to recuperate some of their outlay from 2 months ago when they had to spend out on replacement bulbs. Best bit is they've probably handled the glass with their fingers, thus making it pretty useless 😂 GrumpiusMaximus, J W Pepper, myglaren and 3 others 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobloseven Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Went to a concert at the eldest grandsons secondary school tonight. He did a clarinet duet and played the saxophone in a jazz group. He's fortunate to go to a school that places great value on performing arts.There was a huge amount of talent on show.The head of sixteen years left about 18 months ago, to end his career in his native Ireland and there were concerns things would slip in this area after his departure. Fortunately everything seems as vibrant as ever. A thoroughly inspiring evening. I'm well aware that not every child gets such opportunities and support to excel, but surely it's good that at least some do. myglaren, Remspoor, Wibble and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 My latest Midl of Lidl purchase. I bought it to chuck over the Visa when it's wet as the cabin isn't 100% watertight. I was umming and aahing a bit until I read the list of cars it's suitable for. AnnoyingPentium, loserone, GrumpiusMaximus and 8 others 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Jetter Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Sitting in a queue at a level crossing in light rain yesterday, I noticed the chunky 4x4 pickup behind me had his wipers going continuously (why?). Not only were the wipers keeping time with the Flying Pickets 'Heard it through the Grapvine' on my playlist at the time, they reached full travel exactly on the beat. I watched for a minute or so expecting them to drift out of time but no. Quite mesmerizing. DSdriver and wuvvum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
