If you superglue the rubber back onto the metal bit of an engine mount it only lasts about 4 miles, so out it comes again tomorrow.

This time I think I'll have to weld it back together.

I followed a Rimmer Bros truck through Bidford-on-Avon this morning, about 9am. He headed North on the A46 and I headed South, towards Evesham. I wonder what he was doing (other than a good 20 above the prevailing speed limit....)

I second that, I thought it was a bunch of beer bottles? Perhaps a Cider?

Hmmm, no direct answers .........

Did you know that its quite common for blokes camping at Le Mans to build a wall with their empty stumpies? One built on the Houx Annexe site in about 2002 by 7 blokes over 4 days averaging a crate of 24 per head per day might look something like this.

Now, I'm not the worlds greatest expert on beer walls but I reckon from the overall shape there may have been a classic car enthusiast in the party that built this example. Perhaps I might venture that he could even be a fan of 70's British saloons....

Now that's engineering!

Those chinese could learn from this

I did not see a ghost tonight, which in itself is not surprising because I dont think I ever have, perhaps I will tomorrow night.

Isn't the bottom of a pint beer glass nice to see? No? I thought not as well. Another one please!

If this day went any slower it'd be going backwards.........

Its cold outside (okay so you knew that), my truck is parked outside on account of it wont fit in the living room but i refuse to go out and defrost it till the sun comes out and it warms up a bit so please dont have any plans this weekend of breaking down in Southampton.

This steak sandwhich is tastey.

Well my plan didnt work, ive just got back home, oh well only another 24 hours on shift before I get some beer drinking time.

I was going to say thanks to tinweevil, but I can't because that would go against the spirit of this thread!
It would be nice if the temperature rose above freezing today.

Glorioil is a Texan company which specialises in technology to:

improve and increase recovery from mature oil wells and to solve complex problems associated with the production of oil, gas and water.

That really appeals to the petrol-head in me. Which was unexpected from a company founded in 2005 by Dr Pachauriwho is also Chairman of the IPCC

It is rare indeed to receive any good news from large faceless organisations. However, opening a letter from one of the worlds largest insurance companies to read that they owe you a refund of £130, and that the money will be in your bank account on or before 23 December does indeed fit into that category.
