3 bed semi-detached in the wrong part of Essex!

Building and contents £241, includes bikes up to a value of £2800 each (covered for damage while out riding as well).

Had an F86 Sabre fly low over my house twice today,lovely noise!

Also had some strange Captain Scarlet truck where he popped out of the side door.

Spectrum pursuit vehicle…

Captain Scarlet vehicle

It was really heavy and you could do some real damage to the other kids toys with it.

I had the Shadow green flying van thingy from the UFO TV series, loved that show but I saw a rerun and it looked weird when they are in the submarine and puffing away on cigars! 😀

I’ve had loads of Vespa’s and Lammy’s and always scorned modern scooters but that Scomadi doesn’t look half bad!

The one I always wanted was a Rosser Lambretta with a Yamaha 350 boiler engine, utter madness.

cchris2lou, I’m not on facebook but he is, I’ll pass it on. Thanks.

Aaaarrrrggghhhhh!!!! can’t get the rotten pics to show in the post, anyone help?

Ta

Hypothetical question; If someone had a ‘naughty’ copy of Win7 and is offered the upgrade would there be any problems?

Well, 1.7 million sign a petition to have another referendum so they get the result that they want, then when the result goes their way they’ll be another petition by the other side to get the result that they want.

Rinse and repeat how many times, that isn’t democracy.

We all had a vote, some voted, some didn’t.

What really matters is that you should have the power to remove the people who govern you

Tony Blair.

This…

Ceramics work best in high speed i.e. 20,000rpm plus, steady load applications

I asked a reputable bearing wholesaler whether I would gain from using ceramic bearings on my bike, they asked what RPM they would be doing and then laughed when I told them! Save your money was their opinion.

..the sun to die.

Hyundai’s aren’t much better. Daughter needs the sidelight bulb replacing on her I20, got to take the whole headlight unit out (and undo bits of the grill and bumper) as there’s no space to get your hand in to just remove the bulb!

I long for the days of working on a Mk3 Cortina!

Thanks for the replies, just filled in the Vodafone form and am now waiting for a code. After my past dealings with this shabby company I was surprised at how easy it was!

Don’t like the whole “you should be in the cycle lane” attitude, least of all from the police who should know better.

Getting more of this now that some of the cycle lanes in central London are opening, I’ve already had some ‘that’s your bit and this is ours’ comments while commuting. Some of the cycle traffic lights take ages to change and it’s quicker to use the proper road.

As for the copper, some are great and some deserve the pig title, same as any other cross section of society.

PS; telling a traffic cop to ‘lose the attitude mate’ does not go down well, I know this 😀

Leicester need to lose one and draw one of their last games, we need to win them all. I can’t see Leicester dropping two games out of four unfortunately, gits!

It’s the sort of site you get when you Google ‘trimmed bush’.

I reckon that the dog was the pussy in this instance!

My dog regularly gets a whack from the local cats and doesn’t learn that they have sharp claws!

Humour me here please people, I’ve skimmed this thread and it seems there’s no easy option.

What would happen if the government bought out PT (and possibly the rest of the steel making industry) as a supplier for capital projects such as road/rail/defence etc? They could supply steel for government contracts with the necessary adjustments in the contract price to reflect the fact that they’d be getting the steel free.

If Tata are losing a million a day, has anyone worked out how much would we be spending on supporting people by paying them benefits and supporting them with the problems that long term deprivation results in? If it comes out at around 365 million a year then it would be worth propping up PT.

Living in a part of the prosperous south in my luxury mansion sipping champagne with gold flakes in it and eating unicorn steaks (I **** wish!) I’ve seen what closing a big plant can do to the area surrounding it as Ford’s Dagenham plant, and the surrounding satellite plants, are now a shadow of what they formerly were, even in my lifetime. At least here though people have some other options to move into, what it will do to a place like PT where the whole area depends on the plant for its economic existence doesn’t bear thinking about. Some of the inlaws live in Scunny as well so they could be next.

Smells fishy to me.

Seeing as M+S caters for the older woman it wasn’t one of Manchester United’s potato headed strikers was it? 😀

Finsbury Park Rainbow about 1978, The Jam.

Went backstage after the gig and missed the last train home. Walked as far as Walthamstow marshes and kipped on a bench outside the Ferry Boat Inn and woke up freezing cold and soaking wet at 06:30, happy days!

That’s the worst attempt to draw a cock and balls with a flight path ever!

I reckon they were trying to draw the lower intestines.

No feedback for the last twelve months!

Thanks chickenman, how many rows should I let set before I do the rest?

THE most important aspect is ensuring you leave a 1cm expansion gap around the outside.

Yep doing this, that’s why the skirting (and probably half the plaster!) is coming off.

Why Mrs Spursn17 wants oiled is that she wants something with a bit of texture on it, the lacquered samples we’ve had so far are billiard table smooth.

This is what we’re looking at if it’s any help…

Victoria Oak

Thanks 40mpg

The idea of going for oiled is that I thought that it would be better for repairing any digs/scratches, I just know that I’m going to forget and mark it with my Speedplay cleats one day.
Also the french doors are our access to the garden so I wondered if the lacquer would show wear after a couple of years that couldn’t be repaired easily?

Isn’t the Evening Standard part of the Daily Mail group of newspapers? If it is no wonder it’s full of sh*te articles.

Back in the eighties I chopped the end of my little finger off at the first knuckle doing this….

just saying.

If Win10 is registered to the hardware what happens if the hard drive or motherboard go wrong and need changing, will I have to buy a new OS as well?

+1 for the Speedplay pedals.

A bit expensive at first but I very rarely get knee problems since I started using them. You’ll need to persevere with them for about a month as they take a bit of getting used to, but once you have then you’ll stick with them.

That Spuds one really was awful!

So how was that not a pen then? He jumped and raised his arm, ball hits arm and stops going forward. Sometimes you get them given, sometimes you don’t.

COYS

Is there any way to switch energy suppliers without having to pay by direct debit?

Mrsfry; thanks but he’s already got a domain and hosting, I just need a WP plugin that actually works!

Redthunder; thanks, I’ve seen that page but it’s picking one out that’s difficult.

Sparks 1974 Hammersmith Odeon (Apollo now).

That started me off going to live gigs regularly a couple of times a week, best was the Rezillos last gig in London (before the comeback tours) in a very packed Marquee club about 1978/9, The Jam in Paris was a blast as well.

Next gig is Lush in May at Camden Roundhouse, surprised I’m still at it!!! 🙂

Mrs Spursn17 is very understanding 😀

Google “lock snapping” so easy even burglars can do it.

Did this, now spent £150 on 3 of these….
