What made you happy today?

[turbojolt]

It's just daft terms these Southern fairies invent mate. You know the same ones who cry about a sprinkling of snow, when the norTH is under at least 2' of it everywhere. lol

im from north london mate, i just live in derby lol

[turbojolt]

obviously you dont need to add the bread bit but they are rolls here, not cakes or buns or other northern gayness.

cobs round here :tard: didnt know what they were going on about the first time they said it to me, was thinking why would i want corn with a bacon sandwich :wtf:

[Andy]

Cobs?
Lovely,im sweating bread......err no......

Yup, thats probably what the strang feeling is, too much blood in my alcohol system :eek:

[pottersrebel]

[L14MNP]

Bender got.arrested for similar.

Chug, chug, chug!

[turbojolt]

really late night/early morning driving is the mutts nuts, no one else about, crack the window open a little for that cold breeze, i love it havent been able to go for one in ages :(

[Spudly]

Too late I'm in bed now, work in morning and no beer tomorrow either as ill be playing taxi for the rents!

[brainsnova]

On the way back from Glasgow my exhaust started blowing big time when the throttle was applied luckily I was 10 mins from my house and got it home to find the pipe to the egr had snapped off lol all fixed now with a blanking plate

[L14MNP]

Blanked off ftw. No glow plug light then mate?

[brainsnova]

I blanked it off years ago :thumb: it was the exhaust feed pipe to the egr blank that snapped. No glow plug light when it happens on tddi but comes up as a fault on the Tdci

did an early morning blast about 5.30 am after being inspired by Clarksons bit on Top Gear in the CLK Black. Haven't went out to waste 30 quid of petrol in a looong time. Good fun up over the mountains, but my over enthusiastic cornering with the TC turned off fcuked up a rear wheel bearing on the way home lol

[16v Nova Kev]

What made me happy today was. that I took my ferrets out for the first time and they did well

[mowgli]

/\ did you bring them back after?????? lol lol

well. i mended our log splitting machine & sorted out connecting it to run 3 phase leccy instead of a tractor power shaft.. ... it has trees put in one end & logs come out the other.... so that was nice... then i sorted out all the mistakes that our office managed to create in the last month, and finally, i fixed our telescopic forklift's quick attach mechanism, which was due to abuse/neglect, and fitted a complete new exhaust system to it...

then i ate curry & am working my way thru a selection of real ales... and avoiding watching the a team film.

[Spudly]

and avoiding watching the a team film.




Dont avoid it, its really actually pretty good!


My dad hates the a team originally but loves the new film after i made them watch it a few weeks back lol

[16v Nova Kev]

/\ did you bring them back after?????? lol lol


Yep 2 went out and 2 came back. Never bolted any wabbits tho

A series of unfortunate event's that inevitably makes it so I can sit here without a bruise or bash typing this! :)

[Hobbit]

Well was yesterday but meh, watched some unlimited bangers at Arlington last night (Edd should watch it, lots of ford tat Granadas got killed lol) mixed in with 1300 stocks, so lots on nova's chasing civic's all topped off with a huge fireworks display.

Looks like my perfect night out lol

[turbojolt]

rather then being all english about the garage (aka. moaning about it and doing fook all about it) i decided to give it a good sort out, and was rewarded for my efforts

i found this, which i beleived to be missing and they wanted 40 quid for it on ebay :d

We went to Hamsterley. Was nice to see the newest red DH finished this time. Last time I came bombing down, and was met with loads of vans and barbeque carry on. Braaaake!

Sounds like you had fun dude. :) Never been to a bike jumble before! Nice grab on the Klein! Building a period one?

We just did some local trials, but as im sure you will know, wet leaves, rain and gloopy mud really take it out of you, i think we did about sixteen miles but id say 60% was uphill, offroad, and im waayy out of shape and had a bit of a struggle with it, but the 1993 lava dome performed flawlessly, barring the bit on a technical descent where i ran out of talent (used to sus forks and not used to rigid) and lost the front wheel on a wet root, ooh, hello bramble bush :cry:

My right arm now looks like ive had a word with mr krueger lol

Dunno what im doing with the Klein as yet, but it was epic cheap so i couldnt say no :d

[L14MNP]

Oh yeah, I can relate. Today my mates Specialized was on semi slicks, and with SPD's, so he kept stopping on the technical stuff and a couple of times I fell off/front wheel slipped under me as I wasn't expecting him to do what he did.

I was overprepared today for a change. Too many layers! Sounds like you chose a different way! lol

Diggin the old school Kona btw!

[Spudly]

I was out in my work trousers, a t-shirt and my trusty png hoody, was fine but i got real hot so rolled up the sleeves on the hoody, just before i took a forray into the bramble bush, damn lol



This was the steed of choice for today....

Although it now has Xlite stubbies in anno blue, and panaracer fire mud pro's on, did really well on the muddy climbs, couldnt keep the front end down though lol

[L14MNP]

Wow! That's a very welcome blast from the past!

I used to have a translucent Crud Catcher too. lol

Well they cant look the same if you can tell for a start, theyre different colours you dingbat :p

[Edd]

Spud, ain't you got the seaports too high on them bikes? Look like there only in few mm lol

I once snapped a frame doing that

[turbojolt]

I'm just twisting your nun-chucks you dingbat, best bike i had was some all alloy framed thing, was so much lighter then the other stuff i was use to but never been much of a cyclist

[Spudly]

Spud, ain't you got the seaports too high on them bikes? Look like there only in few mm lol

Its because im tall, and have long legs, the caldera is an 18" and the lava dome is a 19", they equate to about 17 and 18 as kona's have dropped top tubes dont they lol

Both posts are in the frame well below the insertion marks on them, thats one thing im wary of is damaging the frames, as it will be hard to replace both of them in my eyes :eek:

I aim to please :d

[Royston]

Pleasure is today....

Dropping off some paperwork to my neighbours, proving that a strip of land behind my stable block, which they believed was theirs for the past 23 years, is actually mine:d

When they dismissed my statement that the land was infact mine, after telling my father that I had been trespassing on their land.lol

Really funny as they suggested that another stable (which is on the boundary and has been there that past forty years plus) was in their opinion encroaching over the boundary, by 32"s)
maybe it drifted a bit:roll:

Neighbours :wtf:

I await them confirming I am correct...................might be a while:d

[mowgli]

is that law intact where if someone can prove they were maintaining a piece of land for 12 years uninterupted, then they get to keep it......

[L14MNP]

Cake.

Getting a letter from EDF saying I've passed the first stage for a Technical Operator position at Hincley Point power station, I can smell more cash lol

[Royston]

is that law intact where if someone can prove they were maintaining a piece of land for 12 years uninterupted, then they get to keep it......

It exists, but there are legal obsticals, they believed the land was theirs, never been a dispute till now, I do wonder if they will try that tact, but all the documentation is clear, I think they have shot their bullets, and have now been shown incorrect, claiming squatters rights now will look lame as they thought it was theirs and said so

We moved in 4 1/2 years ago, the land registry reflects the land as it is now, and it is what we signed for and I have land registry/documents from 1919 on.

we once had a clear up job behind an indoor bowls club.. because of existing trees & planning rules, they had to leave a 3m wide margin behind the building.. some kids were setting fires.. we had to fell all small trees, clear scrub etc, and basically re level it..
we totally removed several 'extended' gardens.. but we did leave the slabs & furniture in each persons garden. the plot was L shaped & when we were round one side, 2 lads were trying to light the pile of wood round the other side.. we chased them off.. later on the dad of one of them appeared playing hell up about us moving his garden.. so we pointed out that the 2 lads who were the cause of it ran back into his house... that solved the problem

a farmer friend ploughed a field that had been set aside for a year next to a housing development, and smashed about 20 illegal gardens up....they tried to get him arrested....he got them done for trespass & fly tipping

i have a distant relative who works at williams & at a family do the other week, he was telling me a tale about red bulls abilities with carbon fibre.. he'd heard about some sort of clever chip that was able to alter the characteristics of a cf component. a red bull sponsored snowboarder had something similar in his board... i'd heard they had some clever stuff to do with understanding cf on a molecular level, which is how they have managed to beat the 'stick a heavy weight on the front wing' deflection test, yet run their wings lower in the race...

my eldest daughter got herself grounded after deciding not to answer her phone having gone off to her boyfriends house after meeting him in town (they are 14) without anyone knowing about it...leaving my mrs & me in such a state, we were about to call the police & report her missing, it was not funny at all

the last 10 days have been a game of cat & mouse involving her stealing phones, DSI's & laptops from her sisters to keep herself connected on facebook, and as an example, she would be in bed for 11pm, and when i get up at 4am to go to work, i'd find her asleep with yet another device in her hand, & connected to fb.. seriously, if she'd put as much effort into good causes, the world would be a much better place...

my happy is this...

i've never bothered to use facebook because i have no interest in other peoples toileting habits....but tonight, i managed to hack her account & change the email addresses & passwords. so she has no contact at all with the outside world via any form of media apart from our land line & she needs permission for that..

Luckily for me, I never go anywhere fancy. That couldn't have happened to you at a worse time, could it! lol

I plan to finish it off with some of the paste polish. I will be sure to buff it all off!

Hopefully, I have turned a 50+ quid steering wheel into a 100 quid one. Well, as long as it resembles one, that will do me.

Went to deliver to the parts dept of the local car supermarket (Motor Depot for those who know it) and one of the apprentice's there has an XE'd corsa GSi, he collared me and asked if i wanted any bits from it for my nova as he is breaking it.

He asked first..


"Do you want to buy a set of speedlines for your nova"


Me "Ive got a set of five already"


Him, "Oh, what about some FK coilovers"


Me, "Already got some on"


Him, "Oh, do you wanna buy a redtop"


Me, "Mines a 2.0 16v already"


Him, "Oh, what about some uprated coolant pipes"


Me, "Full set of Roose Motorsport ones fitted"


Him, "Oh, not anything i can sell you then.."


Me, "Sorry" lol




Properly amused me :d

Ive got FK blue's, theyre alright but to keep a decent rideheight, (and not on its ringpiece) ive had to remove the helpers, and they make a noticeable difference, theyre a little bouncy on undulating roads, and tbf im thinking of going back to proper dampers and fixed springs, as with the helpers in place the platforms catch the backs of the tyres, i could refit the helpers but id have to run it scene low, and i dont want a smurf hanged on my towing eye thankyou:eek:



Edit, sounds like theyre the same as Rich has found them^^^^

And that doesnt bode well for them having the helpers back in, looks like ill be looking for some proper dampers again lol

[Hobbit]

What do you do sit around waitng to be called out, while sat at home?

Put longer rear springs in then... only about £10 per spring from faulkner.
If its bouncey then it sounds like the springs are too soft as is the damping :( Hard springs and soft damping FTW

'Satching' the daft tart who decided to stand on the corner whilst I was already pressure washing my car.

Initially I thought she wouldn't hang around, so I started doing inside the arches, wheels etc to stop her getting the backlash, but then she started tutting to herself and giving me the evil eye, so I went back to where I had been - the roof.

Move you imebicle! I was outside the house, and there was no reason for her to stand where she did (when someone is already there), not like it's a bus stop or something.

Her Springer Spaniel enjoyed the water in his direction though, as he licked the mist. lol

go on..... how did this happen??

[Hobbit]

Well there was a drain backing up and flooding a water course, day shift driver turned up early afternoon and took 4 4,000 gallon loads out, I took over at 6pm and continued to pump out, 40mins to load the truck then pop round the corner to tip down a free flowing main drain. By 9pm I had managed to start emptying it quicker then it was filling. Then my boss gets a call saying what I was doing was illegal, and that if I continued they will call the police. So we reported the complaint to Thames water, and I wasted best part of an hour explaining to different departments the situation. Was obviously told to carry on pumping and 40,000 gallons and a few hours later I had got the drain down to the bottom. So at 1am (should've been 00:00 had I been left alone) I switched everything off and had a kip. Kept checking every hour but it didn't start filling again. Day shift took over at 7am and hopefully I got enough volume out last night, so when the peak flow happened at 8am he could keep on top of it.

Makes me laugh, some people just flush the loo and think it just magically disappears... :wtf:

[turbojolt]

maybe they didnt realise you was dumping it down the right drain?

[Hobbit]

They couldn't see me, they were just worried about the noise if the pump.

ever heard of dennis nilsen?? he killed 15 young men..he got caught cos he rang up the council & complained about the drains... he'd been flushing body parts down the khazi...........


i also had the job of building a footbridge over a brook that runs thru hinckley's biggest park... and all i can say is that builders really don't check whether a drain is storm or foul on the 70's estate next to the park when they do kitchen extensions... the smell of laundry & washing up water was almost unbearable....

More along the lines of amused as hell, rather than happy.....




Was driving down cleveland st earlier on today in my van, and there is a section that goes to two lanes, one goes straight on and left (lane i was in) and the other turns to the right, im pootling along, and i was aware of a blue rover/mg 25/zr thing behind me, then comes an almighty roar of induction (from said mg/rover 25/zr) it went "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" and made a fook load of noise, but didnt change speed whatsoever, it crawled past me (i was doing bang on 30mph at the time) and limited just as it got by me, only to slow and stop side by side with me when the lights went red, properly amused me as it made the noise like it was flying by at 70mph, and it was sooooo feckin slow!

I looked at the driver who thought he was :cool:

And i just gave him a look of lol


Really tickled me :thumb:

[mk1nova_rich]

lol I saw a Rover 25 a couple of months that sounded very similar. It went past and had a sticker on the bootlid...'youve been Rovertaken'

A month, for £120??????? How the feck do you live on that lol, we do that a week :s

[turbojolt]

it only me and her indoors lol

[Southie]

That's crazy, me and the missus spend £200 a month from Asda... saying that about £100 is on beer lol

[turbojolt]

i normally pop back and pick up some other bits later in the month but thats the main of it, ive stoped drinking during the week (again) so ive got 1 cupboard filled to the brim with low calorie tonic water aswell lol

[turbojolt]

i make food strech as well, my mum taught me how to cook on a budget, so a chicken becomes 3 meals the 3rd normally being a nice broth or soup which helps alot and when i make a chilli or curry i will freeze loads

[mk1nova_rich]

I dont get how people spend so much food shopping, buy whats on offer and put a bit of thought into it...most people buy waaaay more than they need and bin loads

Indeed it does,im back at the gym and on a weight loss BS so went shopping today and it cost nearly £20 more than buying pizzas and the like.And i didnt buy any alcohol whatsoever!

[brainsnova]

I thought I'd sort a leak on my Grandads heating as I was about to leave, ive been decorating his room,clock said 1.30am . Went under the floor to check if there's enough microbore to cut the leaking soldered joint part of and pull more pipe up to reach the valve, done that refilled and bled and no leaks yay.

[Edd]

i would be happier if you found some sunny d that tasted like it use to, the new stuff is horrid

We make Sunny D, we have just gone back to a recipe that is very similar to the old stuff, so look out for that, the reason it changed was that the Food Standard people said there was too much sugar in it lol

bbc highlights are ok
yawnfest ? you been watching last year on repeat ? lol apart from vettel's few in a row its been excellent imo, last race in Austin was epic imo

[Hobbit]

Has been a great season imo. Shame Ze German is gonna win again but there is no doubting he is a good driver. As for watching on sky, even if I had it I would rather watch it on the beeb.

[Stuart]

I've had access to Sky Go to watch the F1 on there, I tried it and couldnt stand it even for qualifying, back to the BBC for fantastic coverage even if some of it is 'only' highlights' (feels like they only skip 1 lap though lol )

[Edd]

BBC is better i agree, i always watch it on there if its live, they have had a few years to refine their coverage

Sky is a bit poor imo, but it will get better, the bloke commentating with Brundle is a complete tool tho, always shouting and talking over team radio, he needs to go lol Georgie Thompson makes up for it being a bit crap tho lol

[mowgli]

on the beeb:
quali takes 1hr
race usually takes 1 1/2 hrs, except for monaco...
post race twaddle takes 20 mins..
then eddie jordan takes some lsd & tries to explain his version of the race..10 mins..
job jobbed

but on sky.... they keep on at it, describing some infinitessimally small thing to drag it out to the next ad break.......



edd, i have fallen asleep watching three races this year....

valencia.... it was a 2hr drivers parade
monaco wasn't up to much tbh
what surprised me was how good the abu dhabi race was this year....
and the austin race was rather good..funny how making a decent track adds to the fun

[Keif]

Virgin gave me Sky Sports free for a weekend.

It was an F1 weekend.
After starting to watch the Grand Prix on Sky, it got turned over to the BBC.
Saved me considering spending the extra for SkyF1, the coverage is not up to BBCs standards at all.

As for the season, it's been the best for a few years.

[mowgli]

yeah, but its a shame its down to tyre management & the drs thing...

i actually miss the balls out racing like when hakkinen went head to head with schumi.....the drivers might get 10 full speed laps in a weekend now... its a bit like sportscar racing now, you hear the pit radio telling the driver they are on schedule now.....which means they are driving to a set time limit per lap...
