Things I do like

I do like hearing that Green Day are playing Glasgow next summer 😎

 

Hopefully it'll be better organised than the last time they were scheduled to play there...

I also like discovering the first band on are a ska/punk band called The Interrupters, never heard of them before but after listening to them I'm really looking forward to seeing them.

    I do like getting the all clear from the doctor further to a cancer scare.  Still got lots of problems in my life but at least now I've (hopefully) got a lot of time to deal with them.

  • I do like finally finishing a model kit I first started 5 and a half years ago.  It's a very special model that i was supposed to finish by the time the aircraft took her final flights across the UK

So I replaced my Sparco stubby aerial with an OEM Mk8 Fiesta one (due to the paint on the Sparco aerial changing colour), and the reception is much improved. No DAB dropouts on my commute this morning :thumbsup:

One of my FB friends shared that poster yesterday...I can't believe Fall Out Boy & Weezer are still touring!  😮  Still remember being called a 'greebo' for buying the American Idiot album back in 2004...no way was that 15 years ago! :unsure: :laugh:  

My new wheel arrived today. As always, superb price and service from Rates Ford. I'm looking forward to needing to change tyres now so I can replace the damaged wheel and try out a pair of PS4s :driving:

Probably my favourite GD album 😎 and don't think it was 15 years ago...... only 2 or 3 surely 🤔 😲

What will you do for the current wheel? I'm sure it's still in good condition for someone to buy.

Yes I'll sell it - should get at least £50 for it which will make buying a discounted new one cheaper than getting mine refurbed.

Whoop whoop! Tickets bought! 😎

Same concert on in Dublin, 

Work have a social club where a worker no 🤔an employee😉 yeah that's more accurate; 

An employee is more accurate because there not all workers😬; can choose to contribute €4 per week from there wages to the social club, 

Then they advertise these type of events in the canteen; if your interested you put your name on the list and they purchase the tickets only charge to €5 - €10 on top of your weekly subscription, 

I'm in it six years now; but I've only ever used it once to go to a Santa experience with the kids, 

Like helping out my neighbour today. Brought my mum home from the train station as she came a day later from Paris. 

Was sitting in the car and my neighbour parked up. I heard his girlfriend complain to him about a mark on her car. Went to them and asked about what happened. Showed me the mark and said wait a minute whilst I fetched my clay bar and water. Managed to take some of it off but then used a polish. After a few minutes managed to take it off. He was really happy and persisted getting me something but I rejected 😊

Would certainly recommend getting tickets for this event, they put on a hell of a good show 😉

I like when I have a clean out and find my old iPhone 6s which is still mint and works great a very surprised how fast it still, installed iTunes and all works A1.

I went to S9 which i still love but I do like how smooth the iOS is but I miss 1 big thing on iPhone, notification light if I miss a text or reminder which is not on iPhone.

iPhone XS is cheaper now i can see.

I like seeing this in Bristol today 😍

I like that cheeky green mk2 on the corner. It's surprising how they are going up in value

That MK2 is running over 450bhp! Absolute beast!

RS Direct in Yate, very renowned Focus RS specialists. Had an RS500 but I couldn’t photograph it as it was a customer car. Only thing they didn’t have was a MK1 and a Heritage edition.

Cool - I'll try to call in and take a look when I'm next over that way.

My Caterham is coming from Williams Automobiles a couple of miles up the road from there. You should call in if you're close by - they sell Lotus, Caterham and Morgan so their showroom has some really nice cars in it.

Further to my post in the "don't like" thread, I do like that the charger is now indicating amperage and the voltage is showing 12.34 according to my volt meter.  Maybe the battery isn't completely shot, but I'll not know until it has totally recharged and then been put under load.

Will definitely have to remember that when I’m next passing through, it’s about an hour and a bit down the M4 from me so not very far.

I'd still take the Mk2 over all of those Mk3s!  I'm sure the Mk3 drives well and of course the interior is nicer...but the colour and the shape of the Mk2 still wins for me! :biggrin: 

I do like finding an LOL O.M.G Surprise doll in my local Tesco selling for €39.99 

These dolls are going to be very sought after for Christmas; theres four different ones and there all the same price from LOL but some particular characters have been snapped up by retailers and now selling for three times there RRP.

81gpjF49qhL._AC_SX679_.thumb.jpg.1493e338b48116d8a2812b8bb736795d.jpg

Managed to get the character "Neonlicious" for €39.99 in Tesco 

I've spent €97.00 on Ebay purchasing one particular character "swag" brand new from a private seller as it cant be gotten anywhere yet it retails at less than half that figure.

81-ltuJe9LL._AC_SX679_.thumb.jpg.02381362e2ab6e71a6dc66c3367354b1.jpg

I'm delighted to have found one in my local Tesco for the proper retail price; I'm not reselling neither regardless of how much they fetch in December; 

I've purchased both of them for one of our daughter's for Christmas as shes a huge LOL fan, and has gotten her list in to santa last weekend incase his stock of LOL surprise items is low; shes hoping to be in with a good chance 😅

Asked for those two characters and the LOL Surprise Glamping camper van

Back when I was a kid though; toys done atleast one thing like transformers were a car and a robot; its unbelievable the toys that become number one these days; like "squishies" various every day items made of sponge;

I'm like "I tell you what kid; heres a sponge and a basin, squish that all you want while doing the dishes" suddenly the squishy isn't as much fun anymore 🤷‍♂️

Gave it a good clean yesterday after 3 months. Added a sealant and wax plus tried out this spray on ceramic sealant (car pro reload) I was given free from slims. DSC_0483.thumb.JPG.81007897b49155a59ff92504a6ab95ab.JPGDSC_0484.thumb.JPG.938e538108dc05179bf95f642d317370.JPG
