Further to the moderator pulling the thread due to it degenerating into something it didn't start as, and the many requests for continuing the jolly theme:

Haha, top effort on the gas bottle!

As an aside, what was the reason the last one was pulled, was it just the dirty horse pic or did I miss something. Just for future ref so I don't fall foul of something smile.

As you were

A snapped cambelt can cause valves to meet pistons and snap the cam shaft carriers off in the head - wrecking the cylinder head. The cambelt and tensioners should be replaced on or before the manufacturer's recommended intervals. Happened to two of my 1.8D vans a few years ago.

Shining example of potential dampness in older property constructed lower than surrounding levels and giving rise to penetrating dampness. Oh dear the poor owners - silverfish everywhere and potential wet or dry rot.

The house is in a valley and has been flooded a few times, the last time a few years ago the water was level with the 1st floor windows!

Can I point the obvious defect in comprehension of the expression "sailing close to the wind!"?

Or is this a case of PH following in Sony's obvious failure of Nerve?

Or am I making the obvious defect that will get me banned?

Goggle strap should always go on the outside of the helmet.

PS sorry for the topless pic.

NSFW if you work in a convent with the PHers who complained about the previous thread.

Fencings a bloody disgrace - if I lived next door I would knock on the door and have a word immediately.
