Oh well that's ok then!! HANG ON A MINUTE!! The last time he decided to brew one of his "concoctions" didn't he manage to blow a sizeable chunk out the side of the old stables?!?!?!?

No Bobbers, that was Bomma trying out one of the Rapiers from that batch that were past their 'sell by' date.
We can't blame Battert for everything, you know.



...or can we???

Funny, I was sure it was Battert's "mixture" that was responsible, mind you Bomma is quite handy with the ordnance from time to time!!!

I'm back from over there,where they put garlic on corn flakes.

But not BACK back.

Shame he’s not so ‘handy’ with the stock rotation.

Should the things he’s got in the Hangar sweat like that?

ION. Today I will be mostly driving south, Blackburn to Hertfordshire.

Been Shanghai’d again to do PB wife’s stuff!

[glenrobbo]

Hertburn to Blackfordshire?

The sweating is not a problem as long as the droplets don't fall from a height greater than 12" onto a hard surface.
That's what Bomma told me, anyway.


PB wife's stuff? Are you having to masquerade as his wife, wearing all that basque and fishnet stockings and stilettos and stuff?
Hope he's rewarding you well!

Um, well the last time I looked the Rapier's were stacked 4 high, which would make the top one around 40 inches off the floor!!!!
Basque and stockings????

[Bomma220]

I do my best with the stock rotation. It doesn't help that Battert insists on moving stuff around too, it can become a bit confusing at times.

Anyhow, there's nothing in there that's likely to detonate prematurely.

Possibly.Probably. Maybe. Whatever.

Not this week!

Having to take her clients to their signings, gets a bit busy & interesting for a few weeks & I get to take the ones that command good advances.

Pretty sure some of them have me as part of their rider, you know the sort of thing.....

Rose white bed linen with a minimum 90 thread count, Champagne @ certain temperature, only yellow & orange smarties, Jim AK & a Bentley!

It’s how I imagine it works anyway.

On a different note. Peri said he wouldn’t be around for a few days & I wonder if he’s replaced Fabio. I was passed by some sort of Bavarian motor vehicle bearing the moniker S13 N*M on the M66 earlier

I'm having one of those days Today, bugger all going right, just got petrol all over my hand so that now stinks, found out I don't have the 10mm square plug socket to change the oil on my lawnmower and despite everything We've put in place MIL is still causing problems!!

Stop scrolling then, Matron's warned us enough about doing that sort of thing.

Try a gentle browse instead, it should prove a lot more rewarding.

Plug socket?

[Bomma220]

I've just settled down with a nice cup of tea and a Hobnob to watch 'Pointless'

Remember the girl I've mentioned before that I met in Cyprus who looked a bit like Rachel from S Club 7?
There's a girl on 'Pointless' who's wearing a very similar dress.

Uncanny.

Brought up at the end of the era of Make-Do-And-Mend I am unable to scrap a car without checking cubby holes for coins. You may think it petty. I think of it as free money. Today was a good day; all four cars I took to the breakers had money in them. One had the owner's parking money - six one pound coins. All the old pattern.



Missed a bit. If I'm collecting directly from owners I check for and return anything I find. One chap - and I meet this quite a lot - talked himself up during our conversation. If I ever write a book about my time in second hand cars I will advise readers not to tell the driver, the salesman or anyone else involved your life story. This guy wanted me to believe he was a hit man. If ever I needed anyone taught a lesson or even rubbed out, he was my man. There would be nothing left. No evidence. Nothing. As I loaded his car on the truck I went through it and found quite a lot money. Fourteen or fifteen pounds spread about. As we parted I held out a fistful of money for him but he started to reach for it and then pulled his hand back. "It's not a spider, is it?"

Hard man, hit man, disposer of bodies, arachnophobe.

Yeah plug socket, you know, a socket, 3/8" or 1/2" drive socket with a sump plug 10mm square on tother end!!! DUH!! I don't have one which means i either up end my mower and let the oil drain out the fill tube or i buy a sump plug socket which i'm probably only going to use a couple of times!!!

Bobbers, how about using a 3/8" square drive ratchet or T-bar and/or extension? Just a tad less than 10mm, but you could pack it out with a bit of tape or shim.
