My missis thinks it's weird that I got excited about my new trolley jack arriving. But you lot know it isn't.

Today I watched my first ever episode of Downton Abbey. Really not my sort of thing so I've never bothered. Have to say, it's really bloody good. And Maggie Smith walks off with the entire thing whenever she's on the screen.

Phillips Racing Vision 200 or Osram Nightbreaker Laser 200.

Scotch locks! That's the bunny. Yeah, I don't like em either but I need one for a very specific job. It will save me a couple of hours of fiddling.

You lot will know. What are those electrical connectors called that you use to splice two wires together. You push them down and they cut through the insulation to make contact with the wire then you put your second wire through the top of it. They have a name and I'm buggered if I can remember it.

I took two grand out of the Nationwide in December. Few ID questions and that was it.

And I just found out that the 2.7 diesel in the Jag is the same engine as the Disco 3. Which is handy, cos there's sod all S Type videos out there but shedloads of Disco ones. Those are super cheap if the quality is any good. Never heard of them before.

What tent did you get? I'm waiting on the sister in law to post my Durston Xmid from yankland. Buggered if I was paying VAT and import duties on it.

I was partial to microdots in the early nineties.

Happy new year, peeps. Let's hope it's a damn sight better than the last one.

Cab of the truck in Helsinki about seven years ago.

I'm watching Big Fat Quiz of the Year and I have to say, Rose Mattafeo scrubs up well.

If this was yankland there'd be lawyers queueing round the block at Kev's gaff.

Vista was a massive resource hog. 10 is just 8.1 with a different UI.

You shouldn't be anywhere near the internet on Windows 7. There hasn't been a security update for it for two years.

I couldn't find anything I wanted to watch so I put Die Hard on. Best Christmas movie ever.

I always assumed that MoT requirements were the same across the whole UK. You live and learn. I wonder what other differences there are.

A speedo that doesn't show mph won't pass the mot. Lad at work bought a car in Dublin, drove it up here, re-registered and tried to mot it. Failed cos the speedo was just in kph.

Michelin Cross Climate 2 if they do them in that size.
