 You pregnant or something? Suddenly getting a craving for buns at 3am.....

Yes he is, this is an unusual case that has left experts speechless, a man has become pregnant after an incident with a fluorescent tube.

They are very curious about how the offspring will look and be delivered.

as seen in the recent posts in the New News 24 thread, I had an outing in REV today, to see @auntiemaryscanary who happened to be passing through London and wanted to have a look at REV  

 went through the Rotherhithe tunnel (which I funnily enough did about this time last year also!)

which soon had me at my river-side location  

Car park registration machine amusingly cant handle pre 2001 registration marks properly it seems! (or does it just automatically assume your a private plate wanker and knowingly space it badly for you?)

anywho J2O consumed and a good natter with @auntiemaryscanary later and I was soon back home  (I should of kidnapped @Zelandeth for the occasion, you would of enjoyed it as it was obscure-photographic-film-formats themed ) 

its great having REV like this, being able to just hope in with nary  a worry and be able to do things like this which I could not before

It was Minolta 16 based and my attempts at recreating the obsolete cartridges (they work but need some improvement)

but I have not really had a need to use the Dartford crossing or M6 Toll road, generally if I need to get across the Thames I go via the Blackwall (and Silvertown tunnel now, tho not done that in REV yet) which I am exempt from, or one of the Central London bridges, depending on where im going

If you are ever going to drive on the M6 Toll, let me know a date and approximate time - I live close to it so will try and snap some photos!

You mean this?

To me looks like the back of an illuminated one way sign.

looky what I managed to blag off of eBay the other day which arrived today  sadly its incredibly basic and critically does not contain a wiring diagram we could really do with for our own Harper Mk6, but its still very cool to have

 

I wonder why its just so basic, go back a couple years, and the Handbook for Stanley's previous machine the Argson which I got back in February was *much* more detailed! which I also upload here for @brummiejon and anyone else who has a Later Argson  or anyone who just Enjoys things like this like I do!

Always fun seeing yourself get papped like this  (and a good picture in itself too)

Coincidentally, The Argson Owners Club were papped recently...

That is a fantastic picture. Lots of contrasts between old and modern all over the place in it.

This week I have read all 400+ pages of this thread, and never realised that your number plate with one simple misspacing would look at home on a chavved up M-series BMW bouncing off the limiter popping and banging 

I also have to say I'm incredibly envious of your proximity to brick lane too! Now that I live in the Midlands its a 2 hour trip to pick some "London Bagels" (as my kids call them!)

Anyway, loving your determination to keep REV on the road, keep up the good work!

That revcomps place might give you some thousands for it 😂

I had a problem with our Daimler Sovereign S2 on black and silver number plates both in a car park in Guildford and Stoke Mandeville Hospital.

I suppose young software writers nowadays aren't interested in the history of reg numbers!
