So what have you done today..?

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by figaro, Mar 17, 2012.

  1. Hand sawn some logs up, I was cold so it warmed me up doing it the old fashioned way. Taxed the little Honda, then decided it was too cold to go out for a ride being as I’d only just got warm from the sawing.

    Mr Tickle arms. Probably explains my family’s history of producing goalkeepers

    Not my camper. I just thought it looked pretty cool and orange is my favourite colour.

    Edit: motorhome broke down on the way back (engine cut out) but with it being so ancient and therefore so simple, I was able to diagnose and fix the problem (air leak on inlet manifold) at the roadside

  3. There’s quite a lot of the two tone vans around.
    It’s a good way of individualising a van with a standard white finish
    Looks bloody cold, what’s the heating arrangement in your motor home?
     
  4. It’s got an Eberspracher diesel heater, which is an absolute game changer compared to a propane/butane system. I’ve had 27 degrees inside while it was minus 10 outside. The thermostat/control unit is also super accurate and so if I tell it I want 23 degrees, I get 23 degrees. Unlike gas it also costs bugger all to run, there’s no bottle changing faffuckery and I’ve always got diesel.

  5. The pink hat the person is wearing in the second picture looks just like a small child.

  9. I've never heard of snow stopping hard core golfers...







    Disclaimer: TBF where I originally come from snow is unheard of...
     
  10. It doesn’t stop some from doing it, but you can’t get a proper strike on a ball and putting becomes a farce as the ball gathers snow en route. It’s about as much fun as riding a bike on flat tyres.

    There’s a reason why the club has two snooker tables. ;)

  11. I've just spent the last hour trying to find some of Doris's paperwork that "I must have lost" according to Doris (the fact that I have no idea what she's talking about and have therefore never ever seen it in the first place makes no difference apparently)..........only to find it in the first place she looked, gives me an enormous sense of well-being.

  13. Stay Bachelored.....

    I can't believe a mate of mine is considering remarrying.

    Something I just wouldn't entertain.

  14. My brother was married for 30 years (married at 18 :rolleyes:) divorced when the kids were well into their 20s, rented a nice house, passed his bike test, 3 motorbikes, used to come on our bike trips, self employed working 4 days a week.
    Met another woman 10 years younger with 2 kids, married her. Now in full time employment also working weekends, 1 bike hardly ever used, never see him did come on our trip to France but only 4 days.
    When I asked why get married again my wife told me off! Now she understands.

  16. It’s only a light dusting of snow, resignation seems a little harsh?

  18. ET, does Doris have a sister? I was dragged to Waitrose yesterday with a list with 5 items on it; two of these were potatoes, another was breakfast cereal. I emerged £102 lighter; apparently it was all my fault because that included £12 worth of beer. I knew maths wasn’t her strong point, I didn’t realise how bad it actually was…
