Could somebody explain how "stay at the bottom of the ladders" (because I was sat on some planks layed across the conservatory roof fixing the failed flashing) translates in a woman's brain to "it's ok dear I'm only in the kitchen, checking the insurance policy, shout me if you need me".

 

Did you miss some of the words out

Why do people insist on having shit like this repaired? This is a 2006 Connect and both sides of the van are the same, the van is worth less than the price of the bloody welding...

Surely repairing shit like that is the whole point of this forum?

It's a lot worse than that picture to be honest, I've swept half the van off the floor, inner and outer sills plus about 4" into the drivers floor is rotten, I'm all for saving shite but a 2006 Transit Connect was shit when it was new and putting £500 into something like this is mind blowing

Did you recently do as you were told ?
- What would you like for your birthday ?
- Oh don't be silly, you don't need to get me anything!
I did that with my ex.
My 40th birthday she asked what I would like to do/want.
I said 'nowt man don't make a fuss'.
I got exactly that, not even a card.

The brake drums did not want to go back on to the sd1. I got one on but the other simply refuses to go back on - to top it all the cylinder is now leaking.

This hateful car does not want to return to the road - my mojo is going.

Do you have a thread for this lovely motor Bren? It’s a black EFi from memory?

so wanted to record something off tv

cant use mine as aerial is powered by usb and it only has one socket

so use the smart tv in the other room (jvc)

plug in usb - figure out how to get epg then look for prog and press record for later

i did test it by recording for a minute what was on tv right then

forgot about it till about half an hour ago *wonder if it worked

how on the small tv here you press source and flick down till you find usb whatever press and away

not this one - eventually found out it was in the set up menu (the bit you use when you first set up the thing) - also now its set up - my tv if you try to turn it off it gives option of turn off with or without recording and if its recording while its on theres a red dot in the screen

it was only £90 a fucking logik ffs - the all singing all dancing internet jvc doesnt do that the only way you know its taping is the on off light blinks like mine does

thats not very helpful is it fucks sake

not buying a jvc ever now

cunt!!!!!!!!!!!

*calmer

edit you know what film im taping??? scarface :D (you know the bit at the end where hes freaks out - that was me 20 mins ago :D )

edit 2 i think i might just buy a bigger logik with more usb's :D

ps cuuuuuuuuuuuunt

Gimme VHS any day check correct channel set time done, & they call it progress!

An ex of mine couldn't work out how a vhs knew what you were recording if the tv wasn't on

She was setting down to eastenders 1 night and the tv went pop

I said calm down,we can record it and watch it tomorrow once we get a new tv

But how does it know what to record if the tv isn't on? she asks

The recorder channel is tuned to bbc 1,recorder doesn't care if you can see it or not. It will just record that channel

But how does it know???? You could be recording anything if you cant see it!!!

It doesn't matter says I, TV doesn't even need to be plugged in at all

Well,that proper melted her brain

Instantly if you don't mind your eyebrows removed and everything tasting of unleaded.

My wife did that to me once.  Said nothing My Birthday is the day after.  Didn't say anything until the day after that. Went fucking mental.  Apparently I could have got her something. Anything. The day after that is Valentine's day.  She didn't want what I had bought her......that was 26 years ago. Should have realised.
