Sounds like a good autograph session there Peri.

It's funny how people react to certain things, Mrs Bobbers falls over when ever there's blood, i fall over when ever there's needles, V6 "binds up" with anything gory, Jim starts foaming whenever Penrose is mentioned!!!!

I've ordered a new genuine Rover power steering pipe, clamp and belt from Rimmer Bros, £37.49 delivered, not too bad i spose!!

Afternoon all.

Norfolk is doing us proud, the black cloud was give the slip around the Thetford area and I haven't seen the bugger since. Thank the Lord.

The fridge magnet business is causing some consternation though, our fridge is one of those built in things so the magnet won't adhere to it naturally. I thought of bolting a sheet of steel chequer plate to it, Mrs B reckons a bit of blu tac might be more aesthetically pleasing.

Any thoughts?
Hi Bomma,
Good to hear you've left the black cloud at Thetford. They could do with a bit of rain to dampen down the countryside around there to reduce the fire risk.
.
Regarding Mrs B's Blu-tac suggestion: I don't think it is up to the job of holding steel chequer plate to a built-in fridge door.
I would stick with the bolts if I were you. 8mm x 30 CSK 10.9 grade should be perfect.

It’s great that I can mobilise and move around on crutches, but at the same time, going for a pee in the middle of the night is a bit of a production. I can’t just hop out of bed (well, as only one leg really touches the floor presently, I suppose that’s exactly what I’m doing).

Anyway, bladder is back within NOL and I’m back in bed. The hospital blankets are very thin, but surprisingly heavy for their thickness (or thinness) they are also very efficient at keeping one warm.

Night all.

Sorry, V6!

It is a bizarre reaction to have, if you don’t mind me saying?
Don’t mind at all Dibbers, you can say anything you want it’s a free world so just carry on and I’ll convert the kharzi into something else as it’ll become redundant. Suggestions welcome - TT shrine? Command Centre?

I would like to apologise to Bomma for specifying needlessly high grade bolts to attach his fridge door chequer plate.
I may have indulged in one pint of gin & tonic too many yesterday evening. drunk

8.8 grade will do fine.

I regret any inconvenience or extra expense incurred. Sorry Bomma.

Carry on chaps.


Redundant khazi?

How about using it as a munitions/ absinthe store?
It should already have the appropriate warning signs on the door:

WARNING!
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS WITHIN
PPE to be worn at all times.
Rubber footwear only.
No naked lights
No magnets.

NO SMOKING

Reminds me of some graffiti in a public toilet years ago:

Stools Weighing More Than 5lb Must Be Lowered Into The Pan By Hand

By Order of the Borough Engineer

I remember seeing "I can see you....." on a toilet door once, I will admit I did have a look around after reading that!!!

We went to Morrison's for a nose around, managed to spend £107 without really trying!!!!
