Been painting the hall today. Had a patch that kept coming up darker than the rest. Thought it was the remnants of an old damp patch. Gave it 3 coats and then the sun went in and I realised it was a b****y shadow!!

On the bright side, the wall got a good coat of paint. :)

This whole not sitting in the middle lane law hasn't caught on has it.

Neither has keeping to left hand lanes when slower than other traffic - constantly come up behind slow cars and vans in a right hand lane then other drivers undertake to pass

I have just spent a day learning how petrol vapour recovery systems work. I was totally surprised that it was actually really, really interesting!

Lies. It's utterly dull and you should bin the system :p

Long shot: Does anyone have responsibility/knowledge of supervising fuel deliveries in petrol stations?

Damn. Watched the first episode of Broadchurch this evening and now frantically having to download the previous series because I missed it. Well, that's my weekend telly sorted then!


Miniminx71
Woohoo! This time tomorrow I'll be landing in San Francisco for the start of a mammoth 5 week roadtrip across the States!! Have a great Christmas everyone!

Four of us (and meeting up with another two friends who live in Phoenix). We're spending Christmas Day in a log cabin at the Grand Canyon and then wander back up to San Francisco for New Year. So looking forward to it.

Does anyone make a decent alloy wheel brush? Second one I've bought and I might as well be using a metal file with a Brillo on it.

It's a bit embarrassing when you offer a visitor your biscuit barrel and they pull out the one you took a huge bite out of earlier and then put back because you didn't actually want it.

No weekend plans this morning. But now dragging the Mini and Bongo out of hibernation for some 'camping' in Tenby. Either going to be fun or really, really crap.

It will be fun! Enjoy!

I done a roofing job years back near Tenby. Little place called Fresh Water East?
Nov 14 2014 08:38 AM -
Miniminx71
Yeah, have a Bongo. It's old, tatty and done 160,000 miles but it's just fantastic sleeping on the roof.

Generally, how long do tyres last? Not talking about wear - the rubber in general. How long can they stay on a car before they should be replaced?

-
matt050990
I think it's also dependant on how it's stored. If it's in rain etc then not as long as in a dry garage. Also if it's got any weight on it while flat.

Manufacturers recommend 6 years. I'd say longer if it's been kept in a warm, dark room

So, 17 years is a bit too long then ...
