As far as it takes for you to understand the water cycle.

What goes up?

[MikeR]

just wondering if the first storms of the autumn will blow in the right direction for me .....  despite comments about the state of the tree nothing has been done ..

suppose a new green house and shed would not go amiss ...

[twosmoke300]

So really we all need to use the hosepipe more so it all evaporates and makes rain ?

or stop being so fucking  condescending?

Have you looked up how not to be a condescending dick?

Neighbours rat sized dogs barking all evening 3 hours of it and it appears they have fooked off out and dogs living in garden recently- no point in doing anything about it - as neighbours other side no doubt will call dog warden soon enough.

Incidentally you can use the hosepipe if you have flowers less than 14 days old.

I'm guessing you're 44 years too late to the party.

It's very of its time,  1978

I must've been about 5 when I first saw it and the 'rebellious' element was intoxicating. I also well fancied the bad Olivia Newton-John,  not the 'nice' one.  I blame that,  along with Tallulah from Bugsy Malone for my bad choice in women throughout my life. 

I'd probably have been better with a Blousey Brown,  although you can find Flo Dugger Garland who played Blousey on Facebook and shes a Trump lovin,  gun toting conspiracy loon so maybe Tallulah might've been the better option,  even if she did prefer birds.

Not sure if this is a grump or a grin.

The wife took the old Granvia in for a mot and it failed on "brake pedal anti slip provision worn".

So I cut a bit of ribbed drawer liner to shape and "Tiger Sealed" it to the pedal.

OEM fix right there.

I had the hump with this tbh it was rubber coated and still securely fixed to the pedal I was tempted to run a few lines of weld across the face of the pedal but couldn't be asked to drag the mig down from the shed.

Went shopping, forgot the shopping list.  Wanted a yard broom for my son.  None in but spent sixty quid on odds and ends anyway, then Aldi, just a few bits including milk and orange juice.

Then petrol. £77.

Got home and the milk has leaked out all over the back seat.  Pressure spray and wet vac fixed that but half an hour I could have done without, then all the cardboard packaging soaked in milk.

Put everything away and watered the gardens then wondered where I had put the car key, not unusual.

Left in the car on the street

I always thought it was weird in that John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John were supposed to be teenaged but looked about 32.

[outlaw118]

Not entirely sure of this has been covered elsewhere, I used the search thing, and then got bored....

 

BUT

 

WOT DA FUK has happened to the £5995 Dacia Sandero? 

Curently looking at a new job with car allowance, essential user payments and all that shizzle. So, I thought I'd have a white, black bumpered. no hub capped Sandero.

Went online, found this: https://www.dacia.co.uk/vehicles/sandero/configurator/summary.html?conf=https%3A%2F%2Fuk.co.rplug.renault.com%2Fc%2FBABVm0AhhAiIGIH%2FAlcQmiuI

£12595 boggo spec, ie no options, no metallic paint or even a fucking spare wheel. 

Yeah, it's better spec, and "upgraded" or "facelifted" or some horseshit, but I don't want that. 

I want cheap, misery spec, I have no problem with keep fit windows, or lack of alloys or central locking FFS.

So they've doubled in price.

Greed or taking the piss out of the supply and demand theory I learnt about in O level Economics?

I never looked past the selection of 1940s and early 50s Yank tanks.  Especially the pink Studebaker which appeared at one point - which character owned that?

[SH1TE]

Betty Rizzo, played by Stockard Channing.  She has what I think is probably the most moving solo on the soundtrack: "There are worse things I could do."

[Pieman]

If I was a Grease character, I'd have been a geeky outcast type, and owned an Edsel.

Olivia Newton-John was 30 although Travilta was “only” 25.  Stockard Channing was 35!
