Thanks Paua,will do.

Now is this scrap or any value chaps please? Yes I'm looking at you Bobbers!


As others have said, sadly not, unless you have a little backstreet machine shop locally they may be grateful for the cutters, virtually everything else is scrap.

Does anyone know why there's a tank in the middle of the lawn???
Tank? Depends which one you're concerned about old boy.

There's a six foot fish tank which Battert's in the process of cleaning out, it's going to be used to house the TT Tarantula Display Team.
Or there's the old Centurion battle tank, we've had to move it out of the hangar so we can drag the Sopwith out in readiness for the forthcoming Triivton Air Extravaganza.

I have been preparing stuff to send to a big exhibition in Manchester this week and one of the companies that is borrowing equipment from us, the contacts surname is Trivellato.

I'm not making this up

Had a busy weekend. I bought some of that GTechniq ceramic spray someone recommended on here and have been coating the TVR in it to try to stop it getting so many stone chips. Interesting stuff, noticeable when I went to open the boot and found my hand slipping off the lip.
It will do nothing of the sort sadly, the only thing that will lessen the impact of stone chips is paint protection film. Ceramic sprays that are available 'over the counter' so to speak are more about preventing UV rays from damaging the paintwork and causing the topcoat to degrade.
But agreed, they do add a slickness to the paintwork
Oh well, it's added a deeper shine, and it was resprayed as the original paint faded terribly, and I had it resprayed in the same paint...

Hello mateypeeps.

Did I see Bobbers mention a fishing contest on Trivton Canal? Isn't that where Bomma stashed the, er... you know, "volatile" stuff? Did all the anglers make it home with a full complement of limbs?

I might go for swim tonight but certainly not in that there canal!

Fishing contest on the canal? Waste of time I'd have thought, there's no fish in there. None I've ever seen anyhow. Plenty of other stuff in there mind, just no bloody fish.

Could have been the Police underwater search team buggering about again I suppose. They're often down there pulling out dead bodies and stuff.

Police Underwear Search Team?

Fearing at least a reprimand, I'll buy new.

I used a silicone sealant on mine the other day, there is a picture round here somewhere - brought it up in a lovely shine it did

Apologies for missing the parade this morning, I was engaged in intensive Robbopopping outdoors for most of the ante-meridian, then after delivering Robbopoppetlet to Nursery, came home tomorrow the front and back lawns.
Just in time, as it's just started to rain.

Off to pick up the little 'un now and entertain her until her Daddy come to collect her after work.

No 400 mile round trips involved though, Dicky is far more committed than me. bow

Laters! wavey

We were getting worried about you, Glenners. Again.

We need Matron to have one of those GPS collars attached to you, so we know where you are. You seem to keep wandering off recently, it's a bit of a worry.

Anyway. Tea and afternoon Digestives consumed, Up! cleaned, 16,000 steps clocked up, the rest of the day is mine. I might sit out on the balcony, watching the boats.

Hasta la vista. Or something like that.

*snigger*

As glenrobbo constantly wandering off, I reckon fitting him with one of those tracking thingys is a great idea!!!

I have a small dilemma, it keeps trying to rain and is a mixture of sunny spells and dark clouds, do i risk walking down to meet Mrs Bobbers???

Bugger, that'll take more than a couple of 4 x 2s to put right.

Yeah, but it might rain. What then? The only time it has got wet since I bought it is when I wash it.
