Unusually, you misunderstand. If I read out all the names it will take us until Volume 41. They know who they are. And they will pop in if they are minded to.

If they are minded to? What kind of talk is that?
Someone woke me from my slumber.

Is it cake time yet? I want some jelly with mine.

I can't get Peanut's oil filter off, it's deforming rather than unscrewing.
Get your bike chain round it, Bobbers! wink
Or a decent strap wrench. Never fails.

Jelly with mines?

Sorry, chap, Hal 9000 says he can't do that.

If you're desperate, I'm sure Bomma can supply you some custard and a cluster bomb. That should open the pod bay doors. wink

There was one time I tried that and rotating the stabbed filter with the srewdriver almost ripped the filter canister into two jagged halves.

If it fails, you are left with bugger all to get a substantial purchase on. And an undriveable car. frown
I don't recommend it.

You got all this from a Peanuts cartoon?

Chunky! My dear chap. How nice to see you just prior to our move to our new home in Volume 40.

Meet the new volume
Twice the old volume

It's a bit like the Tardis, innit?

Big on the inside, small on the outside.

Like a reverse Bobbers! wink

I went for a short drive in that ULEZ land of that London today ,last day before charging , the sign positioning is odd , seems you are able to drive into Cheam [not east] on the A232 from the A217 but you cannot go right towards Cheam [north] from Cheam village .

I would have thought mayor Greed would have put cameras at the end of The Mad Mile where Surrey becomes London , road splits , A217 to Cheam , Morden , Wimbledon etc and other way is the minor road to Sutton , all inside ULEZ ville , to avoid , a U turn would be required to stay in leafy Surrey .

It might be a trap !

I raided Morrisons and exited with a lot of pasta sauce on offer .

A bloke in Cheam looked at Amanda the Panda whilst I was sitting at the lights ,he smiled .

He might have suppressing laughter at the clown in the clown car .

Next trip for Amanda will be to Hampton Court next Saturday to meet Mr George . partyburger

Once the filter is split, then you can use a wood chisel to gently tap round the last bit of the filter to get it to unscrew.

PS, I'm no longer in a field.

Are you soaring high above it, like Simon Duprée? cloud9angel
Good man, you're really getting the hang of it now! thumbup

Make sure you maintain your airspeed on the downwind legs.
It's all too easy to think that because your groundspeed is rather fast, you cannot possibly stall.
It's an elementary mistake-a-to-make-a!!! eek

Nice OG Panda there Witters .
I read somewhere that the slots in the plain front panel can be either on the left or right on the MK1 [141] depending on which engine is fitted .

I’ve just power washed the back of the *pickup* out in readiness for the Bordeaux excursion next week.

  • Sids sleeping quarters*
I’ve also fuelled up ‘le Planer’ with Pineau ready for the leap. Can someone give me some sort of countdown please as the elastic takes a fair bit of twisting and Madame M struggles with the Pudloc these days.

Well Magoo, I make it 44 more persts to launch.

It all depends on who makes an effort now.

Who will be officiating over the proceedings? We don't want any argie-bargy as we are taking off, most are mere elementary flyers.
Its only fair that Raquel takes up the rôle of responsible adult.

Where is Scrump anyway? He seems to be adopting a low profile these days. scratchchin
Will he be getting his big chopper out in readiness for transitioning? yikes

Ah! I see Battert is towing the trebuchet out of the big hangar with the Lagonda.
I presume that's for the use of anybody who doesn't fancy going by hang glider.

Who has been allocated the responsibility of towing the Sunderland behind their glider, after all it can’t make it under its own steam.

I would like nominate Bobbers as I gather he his travelling in his green mankini and blue neoprene gloves as a safety precaution.
