O'fishal announcement:
Eye fink it be right and propper to take this opertunity to advise eye has been editing me photo's eye put on this ere website. The word HippoPhoto has been edited in. Eye has also edited me photo's to hide ma beloved hippo's registration plate. Eye has done the same to me youtube video's.
I thought it was because you have the front half of one hippo welded to the rear part of another. Thanks for putting me right :p

Looks a bit like this

Well, it stopped raining so, as both cars were off the drive decided to give my new metal detector an outing.
Pleased to say that it does work on the gravel drive.
In no time at all I had found a screw and a piece of flattened copper pipe about 10mm x 15mm. Then eventually came a piece of rusty steel about twice as big in surface area, (very thin), another screw and a nail.:):)

No lockable wheel nut socket and no chain to go with one of my axle stands together with its pin clip thing. Which I was hoping to find, but i know where the screws come from, the rear light clusters on the Disco! I will be sorting out the tools etc in the back of the Disco so hoping still to find missing stuff.

The tyre place found 3 out of the 8 missing wheel nut covers, hmm! And I had left it 2.5 degs out on the tracking when fitting the new track rod, so £35 later it is straight. (Always seems a lot of dosh for that.)
Enjoy the rest of the day peeps!

I have been frustrated for most of the afternoon with a spreadsheet tool (Wot I have written) to calculate frame weights for tubular steel frames. I kept not getting the answer I knew to be right. After several Anglo-Saxon words and phrases had been expended I finally twigged my Schoolboy mistook. There are not only 2 sides to every argument there are 2 sides to every opposite pair of sides in an oblong or square tube profile. Sorted! Now it all works and the calculated values match the actual values of real tubes. #sillyoldfool :D

Linky didn't work, got it from Amazon, it's called a Voilamart Metal Detector, it's waterproof to a certain extent. It takes 2 x 9 volt batts which don't come with it.
There is a one for adults that only costs £8 more. No tools needed to put it together. Comes in a pretty compact box.
Amazon product
See if this one works.

Have just put up the pic of Kate with her supposed "work" up on Nextdoor!
Counting down now to how long it'll be before it is deleted, I am banned or both!
Well it is still up!!
Lots of people think it's funny, some wanted to go on about the monarchy and politics.🥱🥱🥱
and inevitably I got told off.
Surprised really!
I got chucked out of Mumsnet, surprisingly Nextdoor seem to be made of less fussy stuff!

Just removed it as one wimmins decided to let drop what she thinks Kate had in the hospicle.
Many of us speculate, as do W and I. But I coudln't allow the names of actual ops to be posted.
Shame!
