Don't know if they still do it now, but our local water company used to sell garden compost. You can guess what that was made from!😀

Guys where can I find my 2 guides I made foe the Ford fiesta? One was on doing a rear drum to disc conversion guide and the other guide was upgrading the front discs to 300mm. 

 

Tried searching but cannot find it. Saw a guy on YouTube convert his Ford fusion into a ST using a fiesta ST engine and brake setup and was hoping he may have found my guide to help him

Thread for the rear but guide seems to be n/a?

 

Just received an email from water company...

Appreciate that Eric. That's a shame. Might make the guide again. Made a lot of views and helped a lot of people out. Made me think to look back on there yesterday when I saw that guy on YouTube do that conversion on his Ford fusion

Do like home insurance renewal at exactly the same as last year.  Saves the hassle of comparison sites!  

The Italian drivers certainly keepimg up there  reckless driving reputation. Help! Help! 

The speed limit signs are minimums and must be some hidden X2 speed limits they see. 

Just under 81 MPH seems a sensible speed 👍

If only we had a 'Motorist' party, perhaps Nigel Farage might like to add that on to his election manifesto.

Do like 34c when not in UK working.

Is it a dry heat over there?  Not like the sticky mess we get over here at 25c+?

Where we are is a dryer heat. Alot easier going . Cooler today by a few degrees . My sister is in Malta at the moment  and there it's 36c every day. My other sister meanwhile is  in the UK not suffering heat stroke but mini strokes. 3 in the space of a few hours. She had to wait until we were both abroad!! 

She sounds like she ok though . Probably brought on by dealing with our elderly parents (92,90) 

I do like a bargain!  

Vacuum broke yesterday so looked for the price on a genuine new part.  Also considered replacing the scent cartridge to make the postage more worthwhile.  Not sure it's worth buying the twin pack in this case lol.

I like slipping naked in to a freshly made bed!

 

 

 

 

 

Apparently the staff at Beds 'r' Us don't approve and now I've got a restraining order!

Wonderful feeling, getting between fresh clean cotton sheets !

I'm not sure which thread to post this in I hope it's appropriate for this one.

This below is a very scary thought!

For anyone needing new window handles, this website offers them with different spindle lengths in different colours, and even cranked left or right if needed.  Ended up replacing the others from here as well after replacing the broken one without the need for cutting anything.

I do like the mileage of the truck I was driving yesterday when I stopped for a break 😎😀

I really like that the government are looking after the tax payers money.

The new EV grant of £3750 will be of help to the general public, and enable them to join the scam scheme. All you need is to buy an EV in 'Band 1' to qualify for the discount, no catches !!!  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why am I not surprised?

Partner and my daughter picking up there used EVs today. Step daughter in the process of buying used EV too. Son bought a flash  mercedes petrol 12 months ago and I don't get involved in his servicing. 

Time to throw the oil drain tray away and all the engine oils I've acquired over the years.

You seem to be doing a much better job of encouraging a switch to EVs than the Government!😀
