    Scotland's North Coast 500.

    Le Ann Lundon did it as well for BBC Alba iirc. Broadcast in Gaelic, but lots of it in English when speaking to people. And car choice ?? New style VW Beetle (but not a new, new registration) different choice to say the least ... We (SWMBO and myself) enjoyed it ...

    Damn car parks and ******* drivers!

    Eh? Apparently I need to enter a 'proper message' ... I would have, but for the connection going skew-wiff!! And was about to say ... Plenty of space, and someone parked next to me in an otherwise empty car park ... His lady friend opened her door onto my side step, he heard the thud, and...

    Damn car parks and ******* drivers!

    MITSI L200 with a sheep cover on the back ... similar thing. Supermarket car park, axle to axle lengside steps, plenty of space either

    Tatoo v Bracelet - Medical Emergency

    I now take anticoagulants amongst other stuff, and opted for a medi-band (made from silicon) bought from that well known auction site. It cost around a fiver, shipped from Australia! I did think of the tattoo option, but felt that when circumstances allowed (i.e., in company of family, etc ..) I...

    First signs of Spring?

    We're Cheshire, near to Manchester Airport .... already have one fully in bloom, and several in the same tubs due in the next few days. All were planted at the same time last year. They were quite sheltered admittedly over winter, but are now on show and we're chuffed!

    Who's growing a beard

    @lisa110rry - Oops! Lisa, sorry. No, I got pushed back due to the guy who arrived by helicopter, bringing his own 'parts' with him. I'm now due in this coming Wednesday. At least that's a vote of confidence in my Surgeon. He's doing the work on behalf of a different health care trust...

    Who's growing a beard

    Hi All, Yep, Lisa, as Chris says….. Entry site for the op. I’ve got bypasses and a heart valve for replacement, so (or at least my surgeon does) preps up in advance. Donor sites for the bypass surgery goes along the lines of leg 1, leg 2, arm 1, arm 2 …. Then panic, I presume. Rather...

    Who's growing a beard

    I’ve currently got shaved legs, lower arms, and chest. Tuesday saw me being prepped up for heart surgery, which was cancelled as I was heading down to theatre. The person that took my place was having a heart transplant, so fully understand why. My chest is noticeable, but not yet itchy...

    Tree stump grinding

    Met him once, saw him on stage three (I think) times .. We should still have some of his albums back at home. Someone has uploaded several stories onto You Tube, if you want to annoy the family .. :) Sadly, another one stepped over to the other side, mid-ish 2000's

    Grammer and Spelling

    I’m like gIzzE ..I prefer it to be written correctly, but ultimately, as long as it reads ‘OK’, I’m happy. And I DO NOT (oops, sorry ….) like things (especially full paragraphs) in block capitals. I’ve even ignored something on that well known auction site WHERE THEY ADVERTISE IT IN CAPITALS...

    Wooden House Gates

    We bought and fitted a 6’ 6” high metal pedestrian gate from Cannock Gates also – 18 or more years ago. Painted over the production finish with Ronseal (I think) black 'ironwork' paint (like it says on the can!) …. Thick as pig sh*t, absolute pain to put on, but two coats and no obvious rust...

    W202 C250 TD Air in Fuel Pipe

    Several years ago, after speaking with local indie in Stockport, I went to main dealer. Cost-wise it was literally only a couple of pounds, and was the correct size. From memory, the correct one has a fairly narrow cross section. And … undid the screws, expected a little resistance, but found...

    At what point do you call it a day?

    @Rory Hi - Not sure exactly where in Cheshire you are, but I've been advised to use S.P.R. Autos in Stockport in the past (by someone from the nearest 'local' MB dealership, of all people ;)) as well. S.P.R. are on Carrington Lane, so just off the M60. The guys there are ex MB Macclesfield. I...

    Amsterdam recomendations.

    I’ve been for work and product launches with resellers a couple of times. One occasion, one of the female staff wanted to ‘see’ if the red light district really was like we said. Off we went. She linked arms with me as we had eaten, drank beer and wine with the meal, she was a little tipsy, and...

    Driving in icy conditions

    The Tesco dotcom fleet use Michelin Alpin tyres (they may have changed since I did some project work for them, though) which are either a winter, or an all season tyre (not sure now). These are changed at between 3-4 mm tread depth, also. Although - couple that with a preselect gearbox, rear...

    Tell me about Volvo's

    Goodly number of years ago I was working for a courier firm in the IT department. Went over to Northern Ireland whilst the troubles were on (several times, and only twice had minor ‘issues’ … but. The General Manager for the firm came in to work one morning, complaining about the ‘little bar...

    Nasty one

    Realised that I know the road and roundabout also.... the last bit into the roundabout tightens up. Sad, very sad, but over near work (Aberdeen and the shire) we've had a number of road deaths in the last couple of weeks. All leading to grief somewhere (one being the brother in law of a chap who...
