It's because Land Rovers are cursed, everyone knows that.

Just don't name one Christine.

I once looked at TD5 Discos.

The stories of the oil pump drive gear falling off the end of the crank put me off a bit.

I have an SDV6 with no problems at all apart from the fact I don't like it. I had a V8 a few years ago with the same bhp, the V8 was much nicer.
I find the SDV6 has a narrow rev range where it makes decent power, this means loads of gear changes and possibly stressing it too much in a 3 ton car.

Mr’s S was 65 yesterday.

I was looking for somewhere nice to take her for lunch and I remembered discussing the Fazenda restaurant in Edinburgh. They have half a dozen scattered about the UK.

It’s described as an authentic Rodizo dining experience. Basically they bring big skewers of meat to your table and carve slices off directly onto your plate. I think there’s a choice of 8 different cuts at lunchtime. Any number of sides that you want.

You have 2 hours to eat as much as you want/can and they keep coming back and offering more cuts. A carnivores dream.

It was great and certainly a different dining experience. Not cheap if you throw in drinks, sweets and coffee at the end but an experience nonetheless.

I'm an office wallah now and my hands aren't used to any sort of physical work, so I've got little cuts everywhere and they're very sore. I might have to hand my northern man card in and become a southern poofter.

Same here - 4 days of solid decorating plus a day of lifting and shifting ready for the flooring guy, including moving a slate bed pool table, my legs and hands and in pieces. Looking g for the hand cream as we speak, I've gone soft (or softer still as a southerner!)

Make gloves not wor (n out hands)

Edit: and it never ceases to confuse me why people don't use strap-ons
knee pads

Did you go to George St. We keep going in to meet my sister and Bil for a meal and use a different restaurant each time. I picked Fazenda once but my sis never fancied it as she eats so little and thinks it wont be VFM for for her. Wife and me keep meaning to go ourselves.

It was my Mrs S's birthday too. I bought her a frog.

That’s the one we went to.

Mrs S and I don’t eat much either as a rule and it definitely wasn’t how you’d define value for money. 2 settings plus a shared sweet and coffees was about 90 quid including tip. I had 60 quid in credit on my card from refunded duty from the handbag I bought her in Barcelona so it wasn’t quite as painful as it might have been. You’d need to have a health appetite to get VFM.

I will say the staff were all great. Mrs S likes her beef and lamb blue and although they don’t officially do it that way they made sure she got the rarest meat they could get out the kitchen. We were stuffed full after they’d been round half a dozen times.

I’d say go got it.

Went to the Dentist to get my crown glued back on. But it can't be done as its snapped the part of the already broken tooth it was attached to. Options are removal and live with a gap or an implant at C2.5k!

I'm saving that link. I lost a tooth last year and was told by my expensive-enough-thank-you-very-much dentist that in implant was expensive, if they could do it. If not, they'd refer me to a specialist, who was really expensive. Think 'new bike' expensive.

I now have a gap.

And no new bike either.

Many years ago I needed a new crown. Quoted about £500. Enquired who they bought the crown from. It turned out that it was initially sourced from a lad who just turned out to be Penny's brother. One free curry later and I had a shiny new crown.

The dentist's face was priceless when I turned up with my own crown for him to fit

Had a tough 3 hour french class then drove for an hour and a half to see a gyne. She couldn't really help, so that sucked. Just got to keep on keeping on and accept that getting old SERIOUSLY sux big ones

French lesson was good tho!!

I've been saving the link myself, that's why I had it to hand. I'd only just got my adult choppers when a face plant into a bench in the school playground playing football demolished them, I was around 9 or 10 at the time. I used to be a reasonably handy bicycle rider, several race pile ups have added to the damage, throw in some dodgy 1970's dental work and now at 59 it's time for a trip to a dental clinic that can fix things.

I have to post something to amuse me - I'm peeved, old and fed up with not being able to shift the weight that''s randomly appeared (despite the same diet and movement etc).

So glad someone didn't resist (Kinda sad it took an hour tho - this place is slipping!! )

Got out of the shower and Mrs. Gremlin exclaimed, 'What's wrong with your arse!'.

I mean, how should one respond to that sort of unexpected outburst?

She urged me to look in the mirror, which I did, and I have what looks like German measles spots all over my arse cheeks, exactly where my shreddies would be. No idea what it might be, doesn't itch or anything. Must be 'contact' related but no change in washing powder or owt.

Anyhow, a photo is available if anybody wants to volunteer a diagnosis.
