Clive Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Not the best job to be honest...but looks much better...now he has the job of making good his mess....numerous screws in the wall that he used to hold up the cables.....and he has to remove the trunking that goes up the side of the door......keep him busy...if daughter can get him off of FIFA football game for a hour. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 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. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'll be home cooking a 5 dish meal for her sons and getting hammered. Or, @Slowlycatchymonkey, going on a big multy day motorcycle ride around the UK too busy to take two pictures and post a ride report!

So..................... spill the beans then ................. anything exciting Nope, nothing exciting, soz At some indeterminable point around Christmas everyone decides to either clear their desk or realises “oh shite this has to be done by next year” - cue flurry of work and don’t get to bed til well after 1am every day, last night 2am. Snore. Exciting was the ride to the airport out on exposed viaducts in the mountains with torrential rain, thunder, lighting, hail and a sky so dark it was like night. Thought about sacking it off but as Pedro kinda guessed boys excited I’m coming home and booked an everyone home banquet for Friday And am British so in my DNA to do stupid shit, didn’t book a car and rode to the airport anyway. Todays ride was hairy. Gonna buy some super reflective gear 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Taking Maria’s 316i to the portuguese MOT, first time it’s run in two years and feels like it never stopped being a daily driver. Class car! Also the radio has difficulty picking up most stations and the best one is classical music, which adds to the classyness 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one I was talking about as I gathered from your posts that you were less than impressed with it.
