We were leaving on holiday in a few hours when a strong wind blew an upstairs winsow shut (single pane), breaking the glass. Made a few calls for emrgency replacement, finally found a guy to do it in an hour...£149 for a 2 ft x3 ft window pane installed.
Best wishes to both of you and hope you are driving again soon. It is scary what happens to us as we age and usually when we least expect it. With me it was my heart, discovered on a routine examination Triple bypass within 3 weeks or I would have been pushing up daisies. The surgeon said, "We...
We went to an "ABBA" tribute band peformance. I was really looking forward to it.
The instrumentalists were OK, but the "girls" were well over the hill and 2 stone too heavy. Seats were good but as above, nobody was seated. I can only stand for a few minutes so I was sitting down while...
I know the feeling. Every time we have sold the "second" car (mine), after a month or so I start getting fidgety and fussing for my own car again. I am 5 ft 11 and the Mrs, is 5 ft 1, so one car is seldom satisfactory to both of us. We now have a new Juke which she loves, to me it is a hard...

Hey! I'm and old man and my p*** smells like roses!
Seriously, over the years (60 odd) my cars have been targeted by many a vandal and/or thief in car parks. In the USA I was more concerned with my personal safety, being an old white man in a suit I was considered fair game. The same...
I left my CLK320 at my local garage this A.M. for A/C service. They did the job but say a bigger problem, still does not blow cold. They think it is a bad wire (16 yr. old car) or a "control unit". They don't want to charge me labor for searching for the problem and recommend taking it to an...
You have already sprayed one so you know the drill. As above, prep work and dust free area are paramount. While home on military leave many years ago I painted my mother's Oldsmobile in the garage with a rented spraygun, turned out very well, I thought. It was a 10 year old car, quite faded...
I somehow missed the first two series but after this one I am a fan. I am a self confessed nit picker in TV and film dramas, to my wife's annoyance and the ONLY thing I would question in the final episode was the shot (2?) from the bridge into the RR.
It looked like a couple hundred yards from a...
This brought back memories of California in the 70's and the beginning of positive discrimination in hiring and university admissions. Equal Oppotunity Goals (quotas) the teaching of Ebonics (Black English) as a separate language in some school districts and Race Relations classes for all...
Very sorry to hear that; there are no words that can comfort you.
We have lost 3 in the last 8 years. Last one Lucy we had for 16 years.
Now have 10 year old JRT/Corgi who is a barrel of fun.
FOUR FEET By Rudyard Kipling
I have done mostly what most men do,
and pushed it out of my mind...
