I never knew that the SU in SU Carbs stood for Skinner Union. Thanks for that Edd China.

Comes in. Looks around. Strong sense of deja vu. Leaves again quietly... he he

Amazing day on the 75th Anniversary Battle of Britain Mini Run. 28 Classics touring the WW2 bunkers and then pelting through London getting loads of toots and waves, and down to the memorial at Dover. Really, really great day and raised £6.5k for charity! Well done if you were on it. We all finished and no breakdowns in the heat! Will post some pics when I've sorted them :-)

It was, and they were a really nice bunch that took part. The memorial at Dover was so moving. Everyone should watch the film and think about what the Battle of Britain pilots did for this country. True heroes.

I love the one where Vic and bob set Eric up on a blind date. Vic's bedroom posters of takeaways made me roar and the magazines with celebs with huge noses that Eric was using to hide his modesty. i'm sad now :(

The takeaway posters - yeah. Just hilarious! Hope C4 step in and take it on :-)

Can't fault Lancaster for their quote this year - £150.00 fully comp classic insurance, £100 excess with an agreed valuation. Pretty happy with that!

How come I'd never heard of Poorboys Black Hole polish until today? The stuff's a miracle in a bottle.

It's compound filler. A plaster over a broken leg, but it does a good temporary job, especially if you apply it with a DA.

I know. Bought a couple of chrome bumpers at a boot sale that had all bloomed and this stuff has brought them up like new. Fantastic!

Had an emergency electrician out today because the consumer unit in the garage went bang. Covered under an emergency policy and they sent out 2 blokes I'd never had dealings with before (or heard of). Found myself bizarrly lying about the Mini and saying it was being sold later today - just don't know whether I can trust anyone these days to know there's a Mini in the garage!! ...Crazy. They seemed nice enough though.

Paranoia ....Never used to think twice about leaving my garage door open during the day. Now I can't shut it quickly enough.

Feel like doing something for charity involving the Mini. Don't know what though.

Thanks. Might just do that. Want to do something mad for an animal charity really.

Mini covered just over 400 miles in a day (about 25 of them with the boot hanging open so if anyone finds a picnic basket on the M4, it's mine).

Well due to the lack of picnic food, you clearly hadn't fed your right foot enough ;)

I think the 2 lardy friends and me, plus the shedload of food I was carrying may have actually played a part. Poor Mini didn't know what had hit it.

Last time i went to visit my Mum, she was going on and on about Derek and insisted i watched it. I thought it was terrible which is weird because she and i always have the same taste in comedy

Went to view a house today where an old man had died and hadn't been found for 10 days. All his furniture and stuff was still in it. One packet of cheese slices and some Branston pickle in the fridge. Weird and really sad.

:'0( my uncle lay dead in house for 5 days and that still haunts me to this day so reading this just brought it all back. So sad dying alone and then no one finding you for few days :'0(

oh no bless you, I work in the oxygen department at hospital & majority of our patients are 70/80s, hate it when they say "oh you're the only person I get to speak to" makes me worry about every one of them being alone!

Met one of those horrible Mini owners during my election rounds yesterday. One of those with the attitude that his was the best and yours was crap and wasn't interested in talking about any other Mini than his own. Boring!

Congrats, weird how some Minis fail/have advisories on the same thing every year isn't it? Mine failed twice on the number plate lamp years back haha
May 06 2015 08:18 PM -

He he. Shouldn't moan. Two screws and pop the new bulb in. On some modern cars it's mental difficult :-D
