No-ones gonna nick it, so leave it running and go make a brew

Exactly, who would would want to be seen driving a Punto? 🙂

Don't get one like the Pete got in Gavin & Stacy.

He maybe mistook it for Kylie

Yep man boobs, to promote a t shirt.

This is free & very good, I've used it for over a year

I'd imagine the current tenants lease is void due to the carrying out of illeegal activities within the property? Worth a look down this avenue…

Not according to the agency, but I suspect they would say anything.

Police have to put it back to same condition it was in before the raid.

I total agree, but the police say no.

My friend spoke to the officer from the drugs squad dealing with the case today & he said it was her responsibility to repair the damage they caused as in a drugs related case they are entitled to gain access any way they want, he also would not say if they found anything or not.
They could have been totally wrong & have no evidence & these people who have not been seen here for quite a while may be innocent, yet my friend has to pay for the damage they did, I find this very hard to believe, what more can she do?
She is out of pocket as it is as the rent is in arrears, she cannot lease out the property to someone else until the present lease is up & it looks like the tenants will never be seen again or pay anymore rent, so she is reluctant to go to her solicitor for advice, she said she will try the citizens advice at the weekend, anyone any ideas in the meantime?

Asda sell ones for £15, not made by Nintendo though

Michael Hutchence played bingo?

Priceless 😆

I only sold my 1961 S2 SWB about 4 years ago. The Series 2 was only made for 3 years & they are very rare, I had owned it for 18years, I loved it, for the first 10 years it was entirely original, I then got into serious offroading, & converted almost everything to be competitive, It went from a 2lt diesel to a petrol 2.8lt V6 Ford Cologne engine, ford transit front leaf springs onto its rear, I fitted, sports seats, wing mirrors, a wiper for the passenger side, I even fitted seatbelts, which I had to remove every year for the MOT as they were not legally fixed. It went like shit off a shovel, The speedo read 70mph max, but I could get it to go about 1-2inches past that mark, must have done a ton, very scary, especially on cross-plys, brakes were uprated to LWB drums, so brakes were still shit. When it was diesel max speed was 50mph with the wind in your back.
It was just a big boys toy for me, but I did loads with it, very versatile, & tax exempt, wish I still had it & had not done any mods.
My wife once said I loved it more than I loved her, I told her I loved her Mini Metro more than I loved her.
I am missing it, only last week I was looking through the net to see if I could pick up a S1
I have always had a car as well(mostly 4x4s)so I always could choose the level of comfort, I wanted to travel.
I recommend a series Landy if you enjoy tinkering, spare parts are readily available & cheap, drawback is fuel, mileage wise about I got about 18mpg when diesel, depending on wind direction & 15mpg when I stuck in the 2.8 petrol engine (aerodynamics of a brick).
Your more likely to get a decent S2a than a decent S3 due to Rover using crap steel in the 70's, all the S3's will have been re-chassised by now.
Unless you are prepared to love your series Landy, steer clear, get a Ninety they are much more comfortable.
I have also owned 2 discos, both of which were shit.
I'll have to end my love story now as I am almost in tears.

Almost forgot to mention the best bit, you get to wave at other Landy owners 😆

My missus is a "traffic engineer"

What's that? A lollypop lady?

was a gritter and plough driver in the peaks for 5 yrs[/quote

What a great job, why did you give it up? You get to sit on your arse all day, your boss can't sneak up on you to see what your doing & you get 11 months holiday a year (slightly more than a teacher).
The month you do need to work you could always use the excuse that you could not get in for the snow. Any jobs going? 🙂

All of the above but only if you own a BMW

I think you guys need to meet up in the playground after school, next time it's open that is.

I would not recommend a heat gun on a frozen pipe.

If you have heating on in your house, I cant see the pipe between your tank & shower unit freezing, yes the water is colder so the unit has to work harder to heat the water to preferred temp, which means a reduction in flow.
I reckon it could just be on it's way out & the colder water emphasized it, they don't last forever, though Mira is a top brand.
When you turn on an electric shower it is always hotter initially as the water the shower is heating is water that has been in the pipes inside your house which will be at a warmer temp than the water in the tank, the last time you used the shower it had been set for heating the water coming from the tank. The time would depend on the distance the colder water needs to travel.

. I had 3 schools to listen out for on the radio; my own, and my 2 kids.

Mothers are getting younger & younger these days 😉

Never mind this, just heard on the radio that the indoor ski slope in Mankester is closed. Because of the snow!

I've seen Glenshee & lecht ski areas close loads of times because of snow,it's the roads when there are a few thousand people there already which is the problem. Three of my mates were once snowed in at Glenshee for a couple of days in the late eighties, cheeky fookers were selling hard boiled eggs in the cafe for a £1 each.
A local garage owner died trying to get out of the lecht ski centre when they closed it, he got stuck & kept his engine running to keep warm, the snow blew in around his car & the carbon monoxide did its worst.

Seen a few in Skye, loads in Orkney, a few in Shetland & a couple in Knoydart, suppose I don't appreciate how fortunate I am.

I don't think the NE of Scotland has had any more snow than normal, it has only lasted over a longer period & being getting topped up, my garden is not any deeper than it has ever been.
In recent years I've had deeper snow in my garden, but has only been lying for about 2 days before it started to thaw, so yes it does seen more like a season.

The bottom paragraph in the article reads.

Before they can remarry, the couple first need to finalise their divorce to annul their first marriage.

Mental or what?

Just move to O2, I was with Vodafone since I first got a mobile, I did not want to leave, but wanted an phone. It was much less painfull & bother than I thought. I just wanted to stay loyal to vodafone who were great over the years, I have found O2 are just as good, it really makes no difference who your loyalty lies with, they don't seem to care either.

Welsh hooker one was class 😆

He' do well to stay up this season, as an outsider I think Burnley have a better chance, I reckon a bad move for him long term, he should have stayed in his Premiership apprenticeship a little longer.

West Ham, Hull & Liverpool are all going to be in the hunt for new managers shortly too, possible Birmingham too as it won't be long before McLeish is poached away, I predict Big Eck will take over at Man U when SAF retires.

Stand your ground if you feel it is all his fault, you appear to be being reasonable, get him to repair the skip damage if he hired it, if you hired it then I would say it's up to you. I kinda get the impression you hired the skip & he just said "put it there, it'll be cheaper for you", if that is the case then it's not his fault, you could have put it somewhere else, but then he would have charged you more.
Get him to get the plumber back at his expense.

+1

No, he said just a few months back, which would have been Autumn

If schools are closed there is less people traveling, so less congestion on roads. Going to work during school holidays is much easier than going when they are not.

What's happening here?

People actually watch University challenge?

Is Bamber Gascoign still on the go?

Who's next for the chop, I reckon Zola followed closely by Benitez.

I was going to suggest a Les Paul Standard, but realised you mean an axe 😳

Ok, you convinced me, I'm going to stay grey.

What about botox then? 8)

This is what I do for a living & reckon you are going about it in the wrong manner by notifying him & paying him as you did.
If I was in his position I would have preferred you spoke to me about it & I would have offered to rectify the faults if I felt they were my fault, even if they were not I have still done what was required if it was not too costly to me.
Putting things in writing seems aggressive to me, you cannot beat talking face to face about a dispute,if that does not work then put it in writing. The rad size is not a big thing, I'm sure he would have fitted it foc if you supplied a new one to replace the one he fitted, after all they're not expensive & it cannot be his fault if he followed the spec on your drawings.

The skip thing, well it may or may not have been his fault, you need to decide with him, who hired it , you or him? did you say where to put it? Is it just a couple of slabs or is it tarmac? would it be costly to put right? do you really think it is his fault? why did you not state your concern at the time or mention it as soon as you noticed?
If you really feel it is his fault, then stick to your guns, if you feel it may be partly your fault & they guy has done a good job, give him a break.

Getting things ironed out at the end of a job all depends on your relationship with him throughout the job, if you were a nob he'll likely tell you to go forth & multiply & shove your grand where the sun don't shine, but if you had been nice I'm sure he would bend over backwards to help you, that's how I look at it, I've never had to experience the first example.

I always suss out my customers during our first meet & if they appear to be nobs, I don't hold back with the price, generally I don't get the job for the obvious reason, but if I do, it would more than cover me for the reason you first stated.
I do also consider that if I don't get a job it could be that they think, I'm a nob, after all it's a two way street.

If the next time you get a quote & you feel it's excessive, you now know why. 😆 Always be nice to your tradesmen, ask, don't demand, unless they take piss.

Just for the record, I have no grey pubes yet

I have always said "Grey hair is better than no hair"

I like to think I look quite young for my age, I still buy trendy gear & all that & am always well groomed, so yes, I would like to look younger, as I presume does everyone, but dying your hair is a bit drastic.
My bro in law does, but says he doesn't, only difference is he did it from the beginning of going grey so no one noticed.

My wife & my girlfriend are both screamers, so I reckon I've found it

I remember a Martin Lewis article about how & when to barter with them, can't find it though, have a hunt here[/url]

What's the Dutch got to do with happenings in Denmark? 😳

I'm surprised Kill Bill's not had a mention

Angela's Ashes, seen it about 8 times, but it's not been on for a couple years.
