@Maurice - very nice. Is there significance of the “lightning” second hand, or just a styling feature?

The watch is anti-magnetic and I guess Rolex added the lightning bolt to emphasise the fact. I don't think some of the earlier models had it though.

Lovely watch

The Daily Mail once lifted something I posted on boatshoes and printed it as a "source".

She must have been in a bad place but to be honest it didn't come as a total surprise to me when I heard the news

I've bought another bike :oops: https://i.imgur.com/Mz8q9DV.jpg A Trek Procalber hardtail 29er which is a first for me at that wheel size. It has something called an Isospeed decoupler which allows the seat down tube to flex slightly as it isn't solidly fixed to the top tube. I haven't ridden it yet...

Our bird table and solar lighthouse have both blown over.

Aldi and Lidl both have their versions in the shops this coming week.

Good choice, it's a classic.

My neighbour had a new one for a company car for a couple of years and he moaned about it constantly. According to him it was under powered and the worst ride of any car he'd owned. Looked nice though.

7 update - having read the fault codes it's looking like it's the glow plug controller rather than glow plug(s). Which is good news as it's slightly cheaper, and doesn't require me to strip the intake system down ! It also explains why the car went from perfect to bag-o-shite in one step. With one ...

Needs sound

The Vito steering wheel is a horrible plastic/rubber thing so I’ve been keeping an eye out for a leather replacement but haven’t had much luck. I decided to get a standard wheel and send it off to Royal Steering Wheels for a re-trim. It arrived this week and I fitted it today, very happy with it. ht...

Christ on a bike :shock: Funny you should use that phrase - I just got some of that as part of my BIl’s birthday.... https://i.imgur.com/0i7Urt5.jpg :lol: Any good? That reminded me of "First We Feast" on youtube, a whole series of slebs eating spicy wings (I'm sure you've seen them if you're a hot...

Surprisingly Swinton Insurance are very good for my supercharged mx5. The online quote page has a tick list of modifications you fill in then they send you a price, all very simple.

One of the finest films ever made is on Film 4 tonight at 11.20pm, Dead Man's Shoes. It's grim but unmissable in my opinion, Paddy Considine is on top form.

Because we're all racists

I didn't realise she was mixed race until I read an article about her

This is the sort of semi affordable car that piques my interest and I think the last car to do that was the Clio v6. Be interesting to see what other manufacturers do.

The motorhome (Fiat Ducato) is due a cam belt change, it's the first time I've owned a vehicle for a long enough time to need one. It looks a right pain to do so I shall let a garage have the pleasure.

I couldn't remember but since trawling through the photos on my phone it was VX220 and VW T5. I've had loads since and now have the supercharged mx5 and Mercedes Vito so quite similar.

You need more roughage.
