I'm just glad I finally found a buyer for them.

Final item. Sorted.

£8.99, and I suspect these bad boys will be given many an outing.

What the actual fuck?

Ask me nicely and I might post up a photo of me in the full get up when we go to the do.

Bought the Tubliss system for the Gasgas. No more punctures and can run both tyres at 4 or 5 psi

And 2 new tyres. Mucho grippiness

Little haul from Amazon today...

Probably more use to me last week than in the future, but what else is money for of not for wasting on toys and tools

I’ve just ordered 61.8m2 of engineered oak flooring for the lounge and dining room with hopefully enough spare to put down in the smallest spare bedroom, wastage permitting.

Just booked womens Rugby World Cup tickets for Salford on Saturday.

It's a double header, Australia Vs Samoa and Scotland Vs Wales.

Nice treat for the mother unit

Rather spiffing Monte that we had in a restaurant a while back. Our usual wine wholesaler had it in stock.

Edit: should give them a mention: https://www.divineimporters.co.uk/

Technically they only sell to trade so Mrs G orders stuff in her company's name (but pays out of our account as she has more integrity than I do).

Check out their franciacorta. Top notch.

Got these at Xmas, only just got around to fitting, they're not half bad if I do say so

A pocket knife....

Which it turns out has a rather complicated & violent folding mechanism....

& that's why I've been sat here for 30 minutes bleeding like a stuck pig.. Small cut on pointy finger, ridiculous amount of claret.

Not so much a pleasing purchase but i passed my bike test in 1986 and today was the first time i have ever bought a break disk.

I usually just call them biscuits.

I feel your pain, we recently got a new Ninja kitchen knife set at work to replace the very blunt things we've been using for the last 5 years. I missed one in the kitchen sink washing up and stabbed myself in the hot water and it was like a scene from Jaws.

Salvage xenon headlight for the Gremlinette's Audi that got whacked by another car that sped off into the night. Only cost me £200 after I lost at cards to see who would pay for it.

Bit of a faff swapping all the ancillaries over, but it passed an hour or so that I would have only spent doing something more enjoyable. Got it back on the car and I thought to myself, 'Whilst I have the bonnet open I may as well top up the washer fluid'. As I did I noticed virtually the same amount pissing out of the bottom of the car as was going in the filler.

Obviously that took a whack too.

That's probably a write off then. Getting a washer-fluid bottle out of a modern car is more than likely an engine out and wing off job....

Inner wing was off yesterday and still I couldn't really see how it all fits together. Usually YouTube has multiple videos, but the only one I can find is a bloke salvaging a write off where half the front of the car is missing anyway. Not much help.
Bottle still holds some water, so in theory is an MOT pass as long as it's topped up just before the test. Bit cheeky, I know.

Crack an egg in it.

You're thinking of a radiator.

Or was it a bottle of hair conditioner?

Or a frying pan?

I get confused.

Well it's unlikely to make it worse.
