That's just for suspension bushes, brie is for electrical items

It's official, my ZX needs a new starter motor.

Have you tried wiggling the key in the ignition? I thought my ZX's solenoid was gubbed until someone suggested this - I've not had to pop the bonnet and bridge the starter solenoid for yonks now... (tempts fate!)

I have literally no idea what Game of Thrones is, other than that it's some sort of TV series.

 

what you mean game of thrones isnt a game on farcebook??!?

[Cavcraft]

Remember Penguin vs Puffin?

 

 

TBH, I've never tried to eat a book and read a chocolate bar.

It's a crazy Japanese gameshow based around toilet humour

[Parky]

Actually Penguin vs Puffin sounds like a particularly lame remake of Alien vs Predator.

 

Or a much more enjoyable remake of Kramer vs Kramer.

I concur.

Not really a serious grump but I want to moan about the quantity of desirable cars available for sale on here at the moment (BMW E38, Lexus LS400 etc) when I am trying to be disciplined and sort out the shonky cars that I already own rather than getting distracted and buying something new. It doesn't help that I have savings in my bank account that are earmarked for boring house stuff but would be much more fun if spent on cars.

So did I, instead I now have a decaying Bentley on the drive, therefore I agree it's a good* idea

[Kiltox]

Cheers to the cunt that scuffed the rear corner of my van today and didn't have the balls to admit it - possibly even in the work car park

 

Fucking arseholes

[purplebargeken]

^^ Nice. Not.

We all have to sit a test at work (even though I've been there 10 years) to indicate if we're thick or not. I've just been going through some of the questions and there's steam coming out my ears as my brain hasn't worked that hard in 25 years. Shit like algebra learned a school eroded by 25 years of missile strikes loaded with beer and whisky,. I've just sat looking at the questions trying to remember long division.  No calculators obviously.

 

Not only that as i'm the only senior member of staff in I have to supervise everyone else doing it then my one has to be supervised over skype from HQ. I hope they don't mind swearing and sobbing.

Twat!

 

My grin post was how much I'm enjoying driving my scimitar about having not used it properly in years

 

I just checked my mot

 

My mot ran out two months ago

 

Doh!

[Parky]

Give Princess Anne a ring, she probably has some blank ones lying about for hers

[mercrocker]

If not, just write 1420H on two bits of cardboard and affix over your number plates.

[michael1703]

Stupidly I even had it on the ramp yesterday investigating a clonk and everything is good.

 

Just got to unseize the right hand wiper wheel box

[bub2006]

What the hell is wrong with the Birmingham area? I've had a delivery and collection in min worth and solihull. Strong smell of shite just off the m42 in minworth,av crash further up the road too. As for driving to Solihull I've had folk cut me up,pull out on me and run red lights. I'm in a bright yellow lwb sprinter with a Luton body on so not exactly incognito either.

[chaseracer]

Unfortunately, this is normal...

[bub2006]

The driving or minworths shitty smell?!

[Heidel_Kakao]

The driving or minworths shitty smell?!

 

The smell is due to Severn Trent water's sewage works being located in Minworth. My Granddad used to work there, you get used to the smell after about half an hour or so! They used to have a railway that crossed Water orton lane as well

[bub2006]

That explains it. Something else making me grumpy though. What is wrong on here lately? Since the EU debate thread on the other forum who h bought out the worst in some folk the atmosphere has changed. There is a lot of sniping and back biting going on. We all have common interests so can't we all get on? Wouldnt the sensible option be if you dont want to get on with folk though is to ignore posts or read them and dont bloody reply with bitchy comments?

[Heidel_Kakao]

Just goes to show that the old adage about never discussing religion or politics holds true. I read the Brexit thread but was never tempted to post in it at any point. It's probably the keyboard warrior syndrome a bit as well, everyone got on perfectly well at Shitefest but that was face to face interactions!

[MarvinsMom]

my like is for the pic of the narrow gauge train, and not the shitty smell, if anyone wondered.

My ignore list quadrupled because of the Brexit thread. I probably ended up on a few ignore lists myself. I get on with far fewer people on here than I used to.

[bub2006]

I've not blocked anyone nor do I know if I'm on a block list. I just can't work out why folk can beso nasty. If you don't want to be right don't bloody comment is how I see it. Or ignore thread if you see something you don't like.

When / if my ignore lists block off half the forum, I'll quietly sack it off. I hope it won't come to that.

Hopefully everything will go back to normal soon.

 

Hopefully.

 

(By the way, I still haven't read it; some things are best left unopened, like that draw in Alan's room in "I'm Alan Partridge".)

You say this now...   

[Inspector Morose]

My mate in Redruth has got some of the wagons and pointwork from there when it closed down ( the railway, not the sewage works).

 

They still faintly smell of shit. He uses them for transporting the horse manure from the paddocks to the pile.
