No it didnt

"NagNav" love it!

I reckon that if you had the water low enough to get under Potter you'd then run aground on Hickling.

Wasn't the fuel duty put on because it's a leisure activity?

Should have taken the car. Forklifts rarely get over 45 even when the weather is good!

The halloween suggestion infered that I was using an inferior and therefore incorrect calendar rather than a proper superbly produced official NBN Calendar. Seeings as I am charged with the forum calendar project I will use any means to bring our stunning product to the attention of the members I hope you have ordered yours young lady?

Ah... guess I should have ordered me a proper NBN calendar eh?

17 days till Christmas? Yep, we're ready!

Well done Robin. Excellent news. My better half passed her test with one minor as well. This one.... The glove box door came open during the emergency stop showering the examiner in tampax (!) and then window winder handle came off when she wound the window down in the rain to see out at a junction so they finished the test with the downpour running across the rubber mats and her soaked down one side. At the end of the test the examiner told her she had passed!! 'Never' she exclaimed. 'You have passed madam' He repeated followed by 'I couldn't go through that again'!! He gave her the paperwork and left. Not another word.

She could over winter in the 'Pool House'!

Excellent. Ta Muchly

or the Broads

Hi Mr Nog. We have everything that has been sent to both email addys so far. I will sort out what is what as soon as I am home Friday (currently transporting cars up to the NEC hence the 3am reply from the M40! Cheers

Help!!! We are still waiting for 4 photo's out of the 15 announced as winners at the start of this thread. I am just trying to establish which ones are missing but can you all check that you have sent your piccys in ok. Many thanks

Fibreglass is polyester based so use polyester fillers for your repairs. Remove or sand the old paint off completely and then use a proper fibreglass primer to get a good etch or grip on the surface. (The reason your current paint is coming off is because fibreglass gelcoat is hard and so the paint lays on the surface rather than sinks into it. The proper primer holds onto the glass fibre much better) Once your fibreglass primer is dry you can undercoat and gloss using your chosen paints in the normal way

I deserved it.... what happened was... He bought a yellow (ish) Lada Estate. One night we nipped round and adorned it with the name of the local skip hire company ( stenciled in black paint and appropriately crooked for that authentic look of course) along with lifting hooks, a level fill line and 'no fires'then I think we filled it with black bin bags full of bubble wrap or something. The next day he came to work in his wife's car and a few days later the above mentioned advert appeared.

A friend once put an advert in the local paper with my number on it for a laugh. "Toilet rolls bankrupt stock. 50 rolls for £1." By day two we had to unplug the phone for a week and were still getting calls after that! Just a thought....

Peter speaks the truth.. he is a miserable old sod! Wise words though. Having spent the last 25 odd years on the outskirts of London (Lowestoft born and bred) I find I miss the convenience of the 24 hours society being near a city offers. The trade off for all that magical peace and quiet is everywhere is shut early or only open restricted hours or days. You need to get back in the habit of planning a bit better.

It's certainly not a Borg Warner. I had a meadows ( to be fair it looked a bit different to yours) which was noisy in reverse but kept going happily until we sorted it. If I remember correctly, it was bearings and the noise was caused by a gear shaft running slightly off true. If you went straight from ahead to astern it wouldn't always engage but given a second or two in neutral it was as good as gold.

Yum!

Shall I have a trawl through? If any members would like to suggest contact points and numbers on this thread I will have a collate over the next few days but it will need to be in the next few days... print time is close and I go away Friday!

'Cornucopia' ... just off to look this one up. Perhaps I'd better check this one (Allegories) as well?

We did, one Friday evening but for some reason, can't think why, an 18 foot fibreglass shark on a roof rack atop a Hillman Avenger had attracted the attention of the boys in blue. Anyway we were allowed to place it, photograph it and then had to remove it or be done for littering.... lol.
