That's a wonder memory for that period, the following day there was a Porsche GT3 sitting in the same place but not as nice as the above.
Ripped out a kitchen today and found newspapers from 1986, it's always great reading old stuff how things were back in the day.
The people who purchased a house from Lady Nasher and myself @25yrs ago held us to Ransom on a couple of things being done, and were generally a pain in the rear end for months holding up a whole chain of people moving with petty and stupid requests. One of the things they wanted done, and kept holding up exchange for, was the lino replacing in the kitchen, despite telling us they were going to rip the whole kitchen out and start again as soon as they moved in. I brought some dark red printing ink home from work and left a big pool of it to dry in the middle of the kitchen floor with some bare foot prints leading to the back door before covering it with the new lino. We also took some of the cupboards off the wall after we'd emptied them and used a paint brush to create some nice sprays up the wall before putting the cupboards back.
Well, wheel-gate update, after speaking to customs today. My wheel probably on way back to the Fatherland. My day today spent on phone to customs & emailing Germany asking both to talk to each other pronto
The clutch reservoir was empty! What, did someone steal my fluid??? Topped it up now I can get neutral again. Took the bike to Spa to get a (BMW) oil filter socket (that fits the Hi-Flo HF153). Went the long way.
Saw the Physio this morning and have been referred back to the senior clinician for a steroid injection. Finally convinced him the physio exercises for my ACL are exacerbating the problem with the tear in my anterior meniscus Went to a COVID booster walk in facility to be told they have been so inundated with walk in requests, they have had to revert to appointment only ........ and they are fully booked until Christmas. So much for the reported poor booster uptake, certainly not where I live. Anyway, ended up getting an appointment for the end of November through my GP surgery. Other than that, a lazy afternoon enjoying retirement Andy
You over rate the crap! Stripped out a hand built kitchen to replace with a Modern Kitchen. Chip board MDF shite. Looked good! Almost cried taking out the Old 1970 solid wood carcasses, pencil carpenter marks and cut joints. Solid worktops and superb finished metal work handles. Tried to convince my son that a deep clean up and refresh would scream quality. You want it cheap? You get it cheap. Just don’t use it.
Well in my case it wasn't cheap at £1600 for a very small kitchen that arrived on one wooden pallet, with trade card for just two w/tops and less than four base carcases / fronts handles, 3 x drawer boxes , kickboards etc.
Never mind the sheep price we’ll get to that later! Wickes do a far better deal. £1k normally gets me a complete kitchen with appliances. Although for kick boards I use their white gloss shelving as the price difference is a massive saving.
I used all DIY Uk outlets and i think the prices have increased in recent times for all those players, but next time i'll try yours & Magnet.
Took delivery of a Monster Superb service from Lee of Moto Technica and Suzy and Clare of Quick bikes
Driven 200 miles to stop in a hotel, out for dinner with colleagues tonight, meetings tomorrow and Thursday then drive home, first nights away for work for a longtime.
