Tell Us Something Really Trivial About Your Life (Vol 31)

[DickyC]

It hurts to say it but I think these have got to go. They have done their duty.

[Pericoloso]

All mouth and no trousers.

Trousers and no mouth.

300BHP/trousers.

May I point out that the torn aspect was the result of honest toil and is not a fashion statement.

[Pericoloso]

Toil ?

I don't comprehend or understand this word.....

That's got to be the back cover of the Springsteen album 'Born in the USA'.

Another bit of off the cuff '60s trivia.... when Ronnie Kray burst into the Blind Beggar boozer in Whitechapel one morning in 1966 to shoot George Cornell in the boat race he also fired a shot into the ceiling, it richocheted round the bar and finished up in the jukebox which was playing The Walker Brothers smash hit 'The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore', as Ronnie turned to leave the wee 7'' single jumped and kept repeating ''anymore... anymore... anymore...''. Well I did say it was trivial

I watched a Wheeler Dealers at silly o clock last night ,they were doing a Mercedes G wagen.

Needed a front bumper ,bought secondhand at 500 notes.

2 seals on a transfer box oil leak ,that'll be 15 notes ,for 2 little O rings of less than 1" diameter.

Is that G wagen tax ,or what ?

I would say if you chuck your jeans at the wall and they stick there like that, it's time to give 'em a damn good wash.
Apart from that, they look perfectly serviceable and bang on trend.
If you don't like the fashionable "ripped" look, you could always cut them down a bit, Dicky.

I just loved the smell of Castrol R at motorsport events.

Cue the Bisto Kids: ARRRRRRH!

I use Castrol R in the lawnmower as a homage to VSCC events

Nij, you tell it like you was there.

You were, weren't you!

Don't worry, I won't tell a soul.

Can I ask which shade of stocking you preferred back then?
I used to like "American Tan" but later I came to like a darker shade like "Barking Night".
I thought it better suited my personality.

Let me know when you're next about to mow your lawn and I'll come down for a sniff!

Converted?

The Crays and their cohorts used to hang around this area. Mrs P’s old house was a ‘safe’ house and their mate who had a place just down the road from me helpfully offered to burn down our barns ‘if they’re well insured’. Matey went on to burn down his place and another three mansions before being caught and doing a stretch in chokey.

Fun times.

Yes, the Triumph clutch is a wet clutch fed by small holes between the crankcase, so the main (in the frame) oil tank with R40 feeds the crankcase, valve train pushrods oil pump and I run a light weight Oil in the clutch.

I did this by filling the holes between crankcase and and clutch with aldrite.

FTFY

Whether it was more popular than Bromley-by-Bow or Canning Town is debatable.

I have to confess to using Castrol R in my mower too, Sundays wouldn't smell the same without it.

If I ever move to a place where I don't have a lawn to mow, I'll fry bacon in a drop of R instead. Important to get that 'fix'.




A stretch in chokey?
