So, how do you explain the "just going for a look" has changed into "just bought it, pick up next week"?

Just bought a BMW R1100, was just going for a look, honest. :---)

Indoor karting is bloody good fun but there WILL be a painful price to pay over the next few days. Arse.

Oh dear, I has bought something else with 4 wheels, an engine and lots of other bits. Now I must sell things with 4 wheels, an engine and lots of other bits.

Anyone fancy a taxi or an MGF?

Today I travelled from London to Norwich and back. The amount of time spent in Norwich was 25 minutes. I wish tenants would figure out the difference between damp and the effects of condensation. Still, the weather was nice.

Noisy buggers! Maersk used to operate them from BHX a few years ago and I haven't been back since they were withdrawn.

If it doesn't take off with an ear bursting roar and trail of black smoke then it's not a real airliner :mrgreen:

Stuart,
Please apologise to John for having to change the points, coil, and condenser, 'cos it sounded electrical to me! :oops:

Anyone else get those days where you go out to get something and end up coming back with something completely different? Just popped out to Tescos with Dad, and ended up going to Wickes and buying a 17-bit mini 240V rotary drill. Neat bit of kit too.

shuffling around in the garage last night, in the dark, when I was whacked in the face so hard it took me off my feet. Guess who stood on the rake? Guess who has a black eye? At the time I didn't find it funny. Now everyone else can laugh :lol: :lol: Theres a message in here somewhere.
