If one of my household told me they were getting a Beemer I'd kick them square in the nuts. Breakdowns involving self igniting egr valves, limp mode due to gear change position faults. Most of the older ones along with some mercs and VWs are being bought up by the immigrants and chavs who promptly remove the DPFs turning them into even more unreliable polluting bags of stinking crap. Most cars built between 1996 and 2006 were some of the best ever, that has long since passed.

Or a pug, or a fiat.

I've seen this. Not exactly a well functioning family are they.

I had a bit of black guttering screwed to the wall once. It hid everything perfectly although I did have to buy some longer leads. I've now got our tele where the old fire place was and put some drain pipe with a 90 at each end in with the brick work. Once again I had to get some longer leads but there's not a wire in sight.

Thanks for the ride Pedro, excellent report. Felt a little emotional for you reading some of that. My favourite pic.

Exactly what I said before deleting everything I'd put in there.

Just collected Mandi from the train station. Says she's very tired after chatting to a gay couple till 3 in the morning.

This is like that large chested woman in the bar you get talking to, you get to cop a feel but they're now coming out.

No just a 4.

So was this when the table almost tipped over.

Bit neater by the time I left.

Walked into Simons shed to this,

Is that just tea bags?

Thought you'd taken a back seat from rugby, health reasons? If so be careful, we're all getting older.

I knew a local builder who had some classic cars many moons ago. He'd cut squares of carpet to put under each tyre, he said to stop the contact with the cold concrete. Don't really understand why but it seems lots of people do it. Prob more important now with the modern less resistant compounds.

Can't imagine 5 inches is fun for any bloke.

Yes to carpets and a battery conditioner. I too never normally bother with all that but it seems so much more unlikely they'll be emerging from the sheds over winter so I should consider some measures. Mandis CBF and my tracer both need MOTs but it's a bit chilly out there so might let them expire and sort later.

Mandi just said, "I'm going to check the trains are running ok or you'll be taking me to London.

Getting itchy knowing there's a few miles to travel, I'm like that too.

Never enough onion.

Didn't watch as hard as you.

Christ Bob, grim reaper stuff.

Something wrong with your phone.
