Right, down to business...
i saw something that amused me today..
i was delivering to a new builders merchants yard in leicester....
i was unloading my bricks with my hiab, and the old muslim bloke was whizzing round on the forklift moving them.
as i'd got about 3/4 of them off, suddenly it dawned on me...
they had opened the yard gates that morning, and pushed them right round fully open onto the fence... then they had offloaded 2 artic loads of ton bags of sand & put them in 2 neat stacks right in front of the gate, then my bricks... so 80 odd tons of stuff were plonked in front of the gate....i decided that it wasn't my place to say anything and as i drove off at 4:30 i was wondering just when they'd realise that they couldn't shut the gate & what would hit the fan when they did.... i reckon the old lad won't have made friday prayers tonight......
I was happy today when i went for my hospital appointment regarding three painful extractions i needed doing (two of which ive already had to have done in emergency situations at my dentist due to pain) and the dentist there informed me that ive not actually got dry socket on my second extraction, its just (in laymans terms) the stand-in who took my second tooth out may aswell have used a jcb to take it out and left it a right mess with exposed bone in my jaw, but he has cleaned it up and its closed a little more and feels ten times better and i now have bugger all pain!!
Bearing in mind ive had epic toothache/pain, ear, head and eye-ache caused by this, and havent been sleeping pretty much at all for nearly two months now, im over the fecking moon :d

I marshalled on Rally GB back in (I think)2001, that was good. Out in Cardiff at night til late then a couple of hours sleep then drive out to stage(Designated driver) and cooked breakfast on the gas stove out the back of the van whilst the gravel cars go through before it all kicked off. Ford's gravel cars were awesome, caged up white Volvo T5's that sounded great. Access to the service area and the drivers.

i'm starting to think about sticking mine back on the road until i can get that sodding corsa running, cos the lack of fun is driving me mad
Do it Mike, ive been giving serious thought to selling both my astra and my nova and going on the hunt for a cavalier turbo (which i do still really want but cant afford) but when i take the nova out and either see the looks it gets and how fast it turns heads, or give it large on some back roads (hitting the limiter gearing down for corners or coming out of them with the back end stepping out a touch, that sort of thing) i think to myself, i cant possibly get rid of this as i love it too much lol

spud, the trouble is that it got pressed into daily use at very short notice, and i really need to sort a lot of stuff out on it. some of the electrics & fuel system are a bit of a lash up, the engine really needs taking out so i can tidy some stuff up, and there are a couple of rust spots that need nipping in the bud... its a bit impossible to sort them when you are jumping in it at 4:30am to drive to the yard & then maybe don't see it for 3 or 4 days at a time..
anyway, i finally hit the jackpot on bits for the corsa engine, a yard in the next town had the right engine in, so i robbed it quite a bit...

just where did you get that version of religion from???
if they were door knocking, then fair enough, you can tell them the way to go. i'm not religious at all. my mrs is, and the kids go too.. the church of england spends time teaching people to be good neighbours & be kind to others, and live a good life, so i don't mind if my kids are polite because of it.. remember, the victorians decided that you were a child until 16... most places in the world have a lower age...
which is why that teacher took that 15 year old girl to france, cos you can do a 15 year old girl in france as much as you want....
and not be arrested for it... he is being done for kidnap, which when she says she wanted to go, will really screw things up..

tell me about it... weekend nearest the longest day... 3 peaks challenge.. me & the other driver were bitten to buggery by midges in the ben nevis car park... the climbers were in 6" of snow at the summit...
was 3 degrees here on thursday and bazils another few hundred further north than me,i bet it was like at least -16 there.
mowgli, im hoping for good snow up the cairngorms this year to get some good snowboarding done,
Andy, its not been under 1 degree yet, but it will be soon i guess, just hope this high pressure stays a while longer to be honest
andy, i'm in leicestershire.. about 3 miles from the exact centre of england (in a field 1/4 mile north of the MIRA test track at nuneaton to be exact) in the summer, we had a hailstorm that caused £50m damage in our town alone, and 3 weeks ago had a sharp frost.
in 1976, the year of the legendary long hot summer, in july, we had a blizzard. ok, it only lasted a few minutes then melted really fast, but screwed up weather is a british thing.

Good choice mate!
Thanks Edd and Jeffrey
I'll get more pics etc today,
Yeah I'm seriously thinking about scrapping the GTE and silver GSI now and selling everything,
Bloody typical isn't it ! I spend years collecting parts and just when i have everything to start I get a text simply saying " I've got a gsi you'll want to buy "
Typical!
It's got 60k miles on it and still it's all pretty standard including its C16SE,
Wheels, exhaust and windows are the only changes on it,
dont scrap them im after a gsi/gte project.
There not so much a project Andy, more restoration,
Both need full boot floors and rear chassis legs,
Both need front legs too, quarter panels and bulkhead repairs too, I'll get pics of them though if you have an interest mate as I would prefer not to kill them if possable.
Oh aye its a resto im after mate.pm me some pics of the worst areas.Worth a look.
No worries mate, I'll get pics sorted for you,

I dunno mate, im hoping my dad had recorded it for me as im at my sisters at the mo and forgot, the jag was the first one, the guy had stayed up all night painting it, and as mario backed it out of the booth he managed to twang the back lower valance on a six pot lump that just 'happened' to be sat there doing nowt in the middle of the floor lol

*Cue Bernie effing and blinding* I need to see that ep then.

When Edd and Mike were buying and *cough* restoring on a grand, there was some quality bodging. I remember the Capri. Edd blaming the heat for ruining the lacquer. Love the lass that bought it mind. I surely would...
Beetle and Campervan Crisis are good I agree, only one of the two Beetles is though. That 70's 1302? thing they barry up just makes me laugh.
I also thought the Splitty was named 'Dipsy' because it had been to Keith Robinsons favourite company, didn't think it would have been on the reg. (Hadn't seen the prog at this point)

there is a pub in tottenham were me and my brothers have been going for years, there has always been this one guy there that never liked us for what ever reason, he gives it large to everyone about how hard he is blar blar blar even tried calling me and my brothers out side a few times :roll: we always left it out of respect to the landlady and landlord that we know really well and get on with, plus we dont go out drinking looking for fights thats :gay:
well to cut a long story short he tried to call out my younger brother last night and finally got what he wanted after god knows how many years drinking there, my brother went outside with him and smashed him to bits busted nose split lip and a nasty gash on his head, he is in a right state, i know this shouldnt make me happy but it just does its been a long time coming lol
