About to head back to the UK. Not looking forward to it, the solar installation isn't going smoothly, both of my sons are behaving like incompetent teenagers (even though ones 21 in a couple of weeks and the others 22), I have a pile of jobs waiting for me that are all demanding and now one of the guys is quite unwell and unlikely to be fit enough to work tomoz. For some unfathomable reason I now have Annie Lennox 'Thorn In My Side' stuck in my head Run away from you Was all that I could do Run run run run

You are a glutton for punishment you just got rid of one leach and now you're looking for more

I don’t read most of the shite you put up … who you after … I know a man that can .

How can you tell if your house has been framed by a crew of lesbians?.... There's NO studs, it's all Tongue & Groove

More chance of him being on the sauce than on the bike!

Is it possible your ex remarried and their surname changed?

Possible but very unlikely. They all use independent systems with unique identifiers like barcodes for confidentiality. The trust I worked for used three different systems that were unconnected. Our local trust also has three completely different systems. Even when you had the person in front of you, name, address, DOB sometimes you still couldn’t find them on the system. It’s why the NHS can’t move away from paper, it’s a jumbled mess. Some of the GP services are linked but the NHS spent 6 million on a connected system that was abandoned and under investigation for wasting money!! If you knew the which GP practice group they belonged to you might be able to do it that way but basically the taxman is the only person with any reliable access.

Plenty of work around here to keep this Redneck busy for awhile... Currently waiting for compensation for a Permit drawing set I did for a local guy here....amazing that I moved 300 miles away & drawing business still comes & finds me. (2) motorcycles to assemble....2nd truck needs a fuel pump....work bench is still waiting for me to assemble the drill press I have....then I can finish my Ski's! This weather we're experiencing right now....perfect for the never-ending yard work....but NOT before I get a Ride in.

You're so fucking clueless and thick it's unreal. It's actually to trace somebody. Just about everybody here knew that except you.

Zzzac?

Persuaded the Super Light to fire up and headed out for a bimble with a friend on an 888 SPO. Back to the '90s! Beautiful weather and between the ride and a conversation we had I decided the SL is NOT going to get sold next spring. During this stop I got a text asking me to take some photos at a weddding that evening but before that my wife got us tickets to a show. So a busy day for me. Ok, fine, this all happened yesterday but I'm slow to post and who really cares when anyway?

Haha fuck off the pair of you

I'm only fucking around and i'd probably do the same in your position.

@Buckster .. he’s a monkey .. give me the details

So many loose ends in my life Fred.......and time's running out to tie them all up.

Just a thought.

No......they're all well into their 40's now. And I had custody of the eldest one anyway! Which was a rare thing to happen in the mid 80's.

Wow......great info Caroline! Thing is, I want to get a fix on where he is without him knowing.......cos I don't want to go in blind. I've been hunting since I came to Spain......no traces on search engines, social media, court listings, death notices etc. It's like him and the other two have disappeared off the face of the earth.

So you could some how ponce some more money from the place you slag off all the time

Best game so far last night , Wales were lucky in the end.

Looking at my pictures, I think my photography skills are outlandishly good these days, it’s only a matter of time before I get international recognition.

Bloody hell, now even I'm wondering if she has good tits

I seem to be in your crosshairs lately

No definitely not, well first blood to the cheese eating surrender monkeys

I got the long hooked end red hot with the induction heater and just rolled the hook down until it was a circle with a long nosed pliers and then trimmed it off with a disc cutter to make it a hook again if that makes sense and then dipped it in water to cool it down so the hook wouldn't be soft and stretch out. It needs to be a little shorter but the induction heater went bang so i just found a spring the right length on line and ordered that

In-between riding and washing bikes today i done a job on the dog I've been meaning to do for years. The side stand sits horizontal and when riding through deep ruts with rocks in it gets pushed against the swing arm, you can see the piece of plastic i cable tied on there to protect the swing arm in the photo below and also the wear on the foot of the side stand where its been dragging on rocks. I ground the side stand stop until the stand moved above the swing arm out of the way like it is on dirt bikes and shortened the spring a little and blowing up my induction heater in the process i think i will replace it with a better one as it's really handy. While i was at it i welded a disc to the foot of the side stand to stop it sinking in soft ground something i had done in the past but had to cut it off when i found out it was hitting the swing arm and then applied a nice lick of paint to finish it off.

You do pretty welds where they can be seen and strong welds where they can’t.

And the fact i don't care helps as well

All welded up now not pretty but its not going anywhere

It's like working on a 1970's Vauxhall
