Yup, last time I saw this I was too young to buy it.

Bleddy hell ... aint seen that since forever ...

Must have been getting rid of old very old stock.

Munching bush in the garding.. Curtings will be all atwitch

Easier to catch for the barbie..

Look what I found in Tesco yesterday. Haven't seen it for ages.. Is rather nice..

Nice having the rain eventually land in Manchester I missed the old wet stuff. Even the lowbrows Mancunians, were beating the trees in thralls of joy hooping and hollowing.

It hammered down last night, mixed bag of sun n rain. Njoy yer day peeps. If the rain keeps off I might be able to swing some spanners.

Funny yer should say that. Eye finks there's about 5 or 6 visiting. T'other night when eye were wotching me garden from me kitchen door there was constant munchin from a bush that grows ont both sides ov me fence fer a good 10 minnits. Eye fink...

They must be the fattest squirrels in the land. Or they are hiding the nuts somewhere.

Small amount ov rain over night. Collected about 30L. Onto me second bag ov nuts this month. At that rate they is scoffin over 3kg per month. Might be as high as 4.

Lovely sunny day today, for a change. Off in a short while to Lautrec, the town that has lost most of its pink garlic harvest a month away from picking due to the hail. They are having their usual festival and this arvo a soap box derby. Hope it...

On another fred someone asked me if I had a brother called Ollie. took me a while to make the (sort of) connection. Stan and Ollie. and they were never even meant to be brothers.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Morning All. :D A bit dull and overcast here today. :( Going to see the MIL in hosp this arvo with the Mrs. Can see for myself how bad/good she is. :) The Nurse said yesterday that she was due to go down to theatre today for another...

Overlord show yesterday. Check out the bomber engine.. Can't upload the mp4 of it running though, sorry..

Yup thats the colour.:cool::cool:

My dad suffered with "mental health issues" all his life after his fiancée died, from TB possibly contracted from him, when he didn't even know he had it. I once came back from holiday to find he was in a mental hospital. The docs there told him...

I had a girlfriend in Lille who owned a white Renault 4. They were so common that she had the sense to stencil a small but easily visible design around the radio aerial just above the windscreen, made it much easier to find in a car park. Pity...

My misses had a pink jag, never seen another one the same colour. She lost it in a multistorey carpark. 🤣 🤣

Here is a little poem "wot I rote". There is no cause for alarm. I had a brief black dog moment the other day that had me sink rather low for a brief time; and it made me reflect on how we are conditioned to respond to such moods and I thought...

They just look so cool on the road. Biggest regret of my life. Buying one for £5 and flogging it for £10 to a scrap yard, feeling I had been a real clever dick/Kevstar!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣 Mind it was pink 😋, the engine sounded like a bag of bolts and...

She was very serious when it came to bedroom antics. War and Peace she would not have had to have brought round as I already had a copy. And when it comes to the bedroom all it would have been any good for would have been as a soporific! My...

Oh here I got a pic to get out my phone from today. :cool::cool:

Have done a tiny bit of digging and it turns out that the 3.4 really does seem to be the one to get, if you can. https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=140&t=1556516

Why did she bring round a copy of War & Peace. 🤣 🤣 Sophie loren was in the film "les Sequestrés d' Altona" ;)

Why on earth would I make such a connection? I have never heard if it!!! I haven't read every flipping book in the world, not even War and Peace or the Kama Sutra, despite a Gfriend bringing her copy round one day and leaving it under the bed...

Tut tut Mr Steamer...... Oliver La Farge.......... I thought you of all people would have made the connection. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laughing_Boy_(novel)

Funnily I had heard that before, about the crims preferring the 3.4. Weird to hear it confirmed. What he didn't mention was the sheer luxury of the interior. Love it and wish I had one again!
