That is prolly true, but do they export, quickly, to Frogland?!! ;) You might not believe what you can no longer get over here, or you can but at a heck of a price. A sump plug for instance. Price £1.50, post packing customs etc, around £20! But...

Is this a Mini or a Bini @kevstar ?

Having a coffee atm ive got the mini on axle stands to repair the exhaust flexi its off but the centre flange is missing so im just going to weld it back on for now as the new flexi comes with the centre section now. I can get a repair section...

Best of luck mate, it is almost tempting to take a sack truck with you when you go to buy gas!! I have developed a bit of a technique for picking them up as we need two at all times, gas hob indoors, gas BBQ out. But you need to be in working...

Connect it to a car battery twice? 12 + 12 = 24. ;)

I'll remove the wood they are stuck onto & take them home then have a go at removing them.

..shopping done, gas was got. Petrol was £1.34/L at the supermarket :eek: That's more expensive than elsewhere, they use the petrol pricing to subsidise the food price-cuts I reckon. :(

I once had a blood test just before going back to work (medical for the job) peeps thought I was a druggy as my forearm was so briused. My body dont like giving up the valuable red stuff :). J

Morning All. :D Slept OK, back is niggling all the time though. Grateful for small mercies. :) Shopping day, and I need to get a patio gas refill (that'll help the back no end, won't it? :( Have a great day. :D

Mornin' How are we all?

Oh for Maplins still being around. Are RS still trading? The relay will likely either have the operating coil or the contacts rated at 24VDC and 250VAC respectively or vice versa. I would guess that with 16A being mentioned that will be the...

Have to admit I did love The Sweeney though I haven't watched one in ages. Was part of a Sweeney fanclub at work! I've got all the Sweeneys on VHS and never got round to changing to DVD. The pilot 'Regan' was v. good too. I had a habit of...

Fink that is happening somewhere in India anorl.

They will leak oil down is wall.

I have to say I had read that the scheme might be being cancelled but by the time that happens it will be too late for our journey and its so cheap and easy to get that it was a no brainer. It is not possible to get through Rouen without a...

Well, W went to bed early tonight after we had a really early dins, so I have been spending the evening trying to find electronic components for those blessed thermostats you all know about. It reminds me of trying to chase down parts for old...

It has been cooler and rainy this past couple of days.

We also have the boxed set of the Sweeney. TV at its best, love it. I annoy my missus by shouting out the makes and models of all the cars we see on the screen!! I lovethe al;most total lack of political correctness although feminism is remarked...

Sorry for laughing, 🤣 🤣 🤣 but the Frogs have decided to cancel all the crit'air poop!!! We too have got ours, but I think that you wouldn't need them anyway. When we come over here we go Caen Ouistreham, Alencon, Le Mans, Tours, Chateauroux...

We have driven it many times but recently not for a few years. I hanker after those heady days when I could fill my van with diesel for €35 and get from Malaga to Bilbao on one tank... I think in 2001 we did the return journey to the UK 4...

There's another coal mine fire in Pennsylvania that's been burning since 1962. It's reckoned that it could burn for 250 years before all the fuel is exhausted.

Its regularly on NOW70s....

Rubbish is a real problem, a bottle in the sun is a real danger amongst dry grass etc. Lightning can also set fires as you say, especially 'dry lightning', doesn't sound like you have that problem today though :)

It captures an era now gone. Great seeing all those street scenes and its very funny of course. I've got the DVD box set and its an old one so not subject to 'cancel culture'. I once made my own box set by copying them all off TV (back in the...

Except in a flood ... ;)

Funny you say that I have lost muscle mass since taking statins so stopped them about a month ago also eating more now

Tremendous thunderstorms today and forecast for tomorrow had about 60mm so far so tank is filling up very loud thunder over head cat don't like it nor does the W got her head stuck in pillows, 🙉🙉

.... AGAIN! Just washed my car and the NDN starts up a saw in the back garden trimming blonde-ones off bits of wood for "perfect-fit" and the cars I just washed and the wife's that I just paid to have washed are speckled with wind-blown sawdust...

yes she said she couldn't find the vain which surprised me as I have them sticking out everywhere

The problem can also be caused when they simply cannot find a vein. W has this problem and they can only take blood or inject her in the right arm as she had to have a lymph gland removed from under her left when she had breast cancer. The least...
