Its an activity only ever seen in TV adverts, where a bloke can be seen pushing a hoover around the house. Fools wimmins into thinking it might be reality, and they go and buy one.

Were you a government advisor in your working life by any chance?

White with frost but sun shining
At least I left the car facing into the morning sun save scraping
Putting roof lights on a strip of sheet stainless for the truck save drilling multiple holes in the roof
Must say it looks pretty outside, xmas tunes on the wireless an all that
Stay thawed out all

I still get a kick out of being able to converse and make jokes in two languages, just wish I could do it in more.I now understand why I used to fall asleep in languages lessons
You are confusing languages with linguistics. No matter!
This is only "baby linguistics". Real piece of pistachio!
My final linguistics module, "Descriptive linguistics of French", there were only me and one other student, the rest funked the course.
All lectures, reading, writing and exams had to be in French. I did OK in it, but I went into the loft a few years back found my file of notes from the course in my own handwriting and didn't understand a single word!
By far and away my toughest course. We spent a lot of time studying what this guy thought about basically how words were strung together. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_de_Saussure

I think a lot of us do that most days.
Wish I lost weight when I did it, but no, I look in the mirror, still got a gut!

oops, just discovered there really is a word "stanage"Stanage:
From the old French Stanagere : Misoperation.
A “Stanage” is any situation, item or process that departs from the normal path associated with it 99.9% of the time.
To “Stanage” something is to attempt to carry out a task but to fail at it in some obscure way but provide reams of detail as to why it “should have worked” by undertaking the chosen method.
Some thing or process that has become “Stanage’d” is thought to be synonymous with the American term FUBAR.
so I think this all needs a rethink!

I'm still waiting for your squirrel, with his mate, to run up your trouser-leg, then for one to say to the other,
"We'll have this one now and keep the other for Christmas!"

Another plumbering day over (outside tap replacement). A part that had to be removed, is a backplate - a fitting which has a flange which the tap screws into, attached to a section of pipe which passes through the cavity wall for connection to the indoor plumbing. So cut the pipe where it connects under the kitching sink, so that when I release the flange outside, it can slide out. Releasing the 3 screws holding the flange to the wall was a struggle, it has been there for over 60 years and the screws didn't want to budge. Tried drilling and grinding the heads off with some partial success (along with a few naughty words). Ultimately resorted to a method used for delicate jobs on a tratter - club hammer and chisel. Finally got the screw heads off and the flange cut off with a hacksaw, and pulled the pipe through from under the sink. Should get the job finished tomorrow.

Looking very pretty!Just got roof marker lights to fit and wire up
Did you not get the urge to fit the sort that change colour and do sequences and stuff?
I don't know of any that would be OK to work outside on a vehicle.
But if you could find some that would be cool, or you could put some ornery ones n the cab.
Still lovin it though!

Do you still have to insert a section of plastic pipe as a separation from the outside? ?Another plumbering day over (outside tap replacement).

What would the purpose of that be? Frost protection? - I am fitting a lever ball valve as a drain down point so the pipes will be empty during winter. Nothing left to freeze up.
