That was my 1st thought but according to Mrs Wombat it’s “too far” from Kings Cross to the Science museum

Cook onions (use what appears to be the right amount and then double it), make Gravy, add the former to the latter, serve and enjoy.

Other recipes may differ, IANAC etc etc

Two elderly ladies of the Joan Hickson as Miss Marple type were sitting a few seats away from me on the train.

As they walked past me to get off at their stop I heard one of them say

“…and it was about a foot long and as thick as my arm…..”

I assume it was a description of a tree branch as they’d been talking about gardening for most of the journey

Could be good if it comes with all the lights & sirens fitted.

As an aside, my sister’s ex-boyfriend worked for a company that fitted the reflective stickers to emergency vehicles. His job title was Vehicular Conspicuity Specialist 8)

Ernie, have had a drive in a 63 plate Mazda 6 estate, it is indeed excellent (I currently have an 09 Mazda 6 hatch) but the Superb is significantly less expensive and IMO just as nice to drive.
Would quite happily have another 6 but the additional pricetag wasn’t worth it just now

Duffer I’m looking at a used one so list prics isn’t an issue.

Thanks for the quick replies.

My only concern is that as the rear seats don’t fold completely flat the boot space may be compromised for carrying a bike inside but I guess I’ll find a way of making it work.

Or a soft, strong and absorbent printer paper….

*Makes a mental note to pop into Waitrose ‘for a pint of milk’ on the way home*

That’s nowhere near a pint…..and I’m not sure its milk either

Excellent, thanks, need to get a card for a GoiPro Hero, the manual specifies Class 4 for video but they appear fairly uncommon but you can get Class 10 cards pretty much everywhere

Not wishing to hijack a thread but…..has anyone tried mounting a light and a Gopro to their helmet?

Would 1 to each side to balance the weight work better than trying to fasten them both on top?

we see lads doing wheelies …..it’s about getting a balance

Slightly paraphrased but looks like a fairly clear statement…..

How do you pronounce gillet? gillit or jeelay

Mrs Wombat has made me remove my “Caution, Ebola Virus” sign from the sweet jar….apparently it’s not in good taste (whatever that is)

As said above, LOVE / HATE on your knuckles – job done

Unless you work in a catering related occupation in which case you should have B, T, L, S on the fingers of your left hand and O, U, I, M on the fingers of your right hand so when you lace your fingers together it spells BOTULISM :D

Reminds me of a limerick from my schooldays that I can’t repeat on a public forum but suffice to say it started..

“There was a young lady called…”

What’s the point of that?

Does her partner have 3 hands or something?

This is exactly the situation that the high speed long bunnyhop was invented for 8)

You still haven’t found what you’re looking for.

Can’t beat a bit of Edgy humour

pleather

Is that similar to Pleblon ™?

“I know what you thinking, I can tell you there’s plenty of room for two sets of golf clubs rival drug dealers’ bodies in there.”

Have you remembered to tick the “I don’t want any bloody U2 dumped in my account” box?

FTFY

This would be me

Popped in yesterday for some lunchtime grub and grabbed a tuna crunch bagettebaguette and thought I’d have a BelgiumBelgian Bun to go with it.

FTFY :wink:

Edit, Double post

Cut some 15mm pipe lagging in half lengthways & shove it in the slut

The idea that the level of excitement in our lives is somehow dependent on the car we drive is pretty pathetic.

I agree.

I want wherever I am to be a nice place if at all possible, be it on a bike, in my house or in my car. I’m not after stimulation or excitement from my car, I just want to feel that I’m in somewhere that I’d chose to be rather than somewhere that I have to be

I’m not saying there was any trouble over this, it was more that she was surprised at the (modest IMO) number involved….apparently it means she can buy more shoes though

It’s possible it might be 2 more than when they were last all together in 1 place, it looks as though my strategy of Divide and Hide may have been uncovered :oops: …..fortunately she didn’t look in the roof space, If she’d found the “spares store” I’d really have been in trouble

I see the point of MPVs, I have had a couple of Zafiras (a 51 plate and an 03)in the past and found them to be hugely practical but essentially a dull place to be.

I’m, not looking for excitement but I don’t want to feel as though a bit of me dies every time I get in the car.

I am looking at changing the Wombatmobile (see what I did there? :wink: ) but not for another 6 months or so and have been met with blank looks when I’ve spoken to car dealers about 7 seat estates. As I do in the region of 18k miles a year a 4×4 isn’t really an option as the running costs are simply too high on all the ones I’ve looked at.

Incidentally, the 504 familiale was a brilliant car, I took my driving test in 2.3 non turbo diesel one, the look on the examiner’s face was a picture when he saw it parked in the test centre carpark :D

Anyone who describe me as their Coworker.

I’ve never orked a cow in my life and resent the implication that I may have done so

I’ve less fewer tats and more hair Jamie, but close

don’t forget vent pipe to allow the air to escape during use,

The chap next door forgot about this, his greenhouse nearly exploded with the back pressure, fortunately for him he got away with just a couple of cracked panes….lucky the door was open and this allowed the pressures to equalise without serious damage

EDIT Although it was very funny watching all the worms and moles being fired into the air out of their tunnels when “Large Mavis” from number 37 had a go on it :lol:

Well surely you need quite a large gap underneath as the surface of the trampolene must come down quite a bit when jumped on?!

*whooosh*

Beat me to it…

When we decided to get a bigger trampoline I did away with the digging entirely by simply attaching the disc of mesh directly to the lawn with tent pegs through the metal loops…don’t think anyone noticed 8)

Nice and firm that option Wombat, surely you earned money from Harry Hill with the confused expressions of the kids…

The upgrade was financed entirely by Mr Hill’s excellent programme

3m diameter, about 700mm deep

No need for all that work, all you need is a post hole borer and to sink each leg of the trampoline into the ground until the rim sits on the surface.

That’s what I did….it had the added bonus that once I’d finished making it into a safe environment we didn’t get all the neighbours’ children playing on it any more :wink:

They pay for themselves fairly quickly, you get £250 off Harry Hill for each video of someone launching into the shrubbery*

*launching into the shrubbery isn’t a euphemism (in this case)

They’re not as well built as I thought if that bloke with a hose can do all that damage in 20 mins

Done it

No I havent just moved in. My neighbours give me Christmas cards

Are they Australian?

They have Christmas in the summer so they may have got a bit confused with the seasons being different here in the UK
