RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted November 17, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 17, 2023 As mentioned above BBC1 is showing 'Children in need' which I and quite a few others are avoiding. Tomorrow night is going to be worse (IMHO) as its the final of Strictly come prancing. 3 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the gardening programs on BBC2 instead. I find the TV programme exceedingly naff, though some of the fundraising is rather impressive' it seems VK has now gone thru' the £5M mark. ION...... Bear's escapades with Templot are starting to get less painless; one thing I have learnt is that many (all?) of the so-called layout plans produced by well-known "names" in books etc. bear no relation to reality in that, when overlaid with templates to the same scale etc. it's just not possible to reproduce the formations etc. in anywhere close to the same space. No Sh1t Sherlock. And Finally..... BBC TV News got a whole lot more fun earlier - when a "Just Stop Oil" protest in London was being filmed, the BBC took the opportunity to film & interview White Van Man: "They're just a bunch of F <beeeeeep> ing W <beeeeeep> kers - if I had my way I'd mow 'em all down then back over them......." Seems like a plan 🤣 BG 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post TheQ Posted November 17, 2023 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2023 Sad to say its not the final of strictly come prancing tomorrow, it's just the Blackpool special, there a long way to go yet. Just back from the MRC, much fixing of electric smoke tubes done. Priced up a metal top to go over the asbestos using an online calculator.. 5 Deltics... Plus insulation which I would fit. Also looking at fibreglass coating, something I understand and could do .. Disposal of cementitious asbestos sheets varies from place to place. Some councils will take it double wrapped in plastic, no problem, Suffolk charges £80 for an unspecified small amount, cambridgeshire want £80 per 2 sheets. Norfolk just says no...

RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted November 17, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 17, 2023 Good evening everyone Once I got back from the Trafford Centre and I’d packed away all the shopping, I made myself a muggertea and headed downstairs to the office to do some last minute edits to the artwork for the turntable article that will appear in next months journal. After dinner, I headed back downstairs to print of a couple of photos, one of Vickie and Ian’s wedding and one from Mike and Sarah’s wedding, then fitted them in frames we got from IKEA on Wednesday. It’s something that we’ve wanted to do for ages, but didn’t have frames for them until Wednesday, so I’d got no excuse. Sheila is now delighted, so a few brownie points earned. 3 1 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quickly realised the Haynes Manual was, shall we say, quaint do I rearranged the way to do it.. job done and dusted without the need for bleeding the brakes. My best friend from school was a Mini enthusiast, eventually having a garage that serviced mine. He referred to the constant-velocity joints as "the clunkers". 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The selector was on the steering column and having selected the next gear you pressed the "gear changed pedal" which was where the clutch would have been on a normal car. The Riley Lynx was so fitted … One of my uncles had a Lanchester with that arrangement. I remember my dad enjoying it when he got to drive it. 15 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted November 18, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 18, 2023 Good moaning from a Charente where no rain is forecast today. That's a miracle. A good day was had with model railway pals. A bonus was that I didn't have to drive most of it. Andy and I shared transport. Today is another tip run day so after breakfast I will be loading the trailer then heading to the tip. Regards to all. Jamie 16 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps one of our more learned contributors could confirm? Until 1996** it used to be the case that if someone died more than a year and one day after being attacked in the UK then the person responsible couldn't be charged with Murder; that law has now been abolished - if the death can be proved to be the result of the accused intending to cause death or serious injury then they can be charged with murder, irrespective of how long ago they died. I suspect that's why, in this case they were charged with Manslaughter. But 2 years?? **2018 in NZ, apparently. 6 hours ago, Tony_S said: It looks like pea shoots.
