Funny! Actually had me chortling. :lol:

Just taken delivery of a '05 plate Nissan Primera. Tomorrow I'm being fitted for a pair of slippers and a pipe...

No problem there, had done all my chores and had a pass for the day. No bike :( The GT Safety Bicycle wasn't ready in time. :cry:

Looks like I missed an excellent weekend :(

Correctomundo. They had a core selection of colours available for £60, including BRG. It's hardwearing and looks pretty good.

I've used Henderson's for bike frames and car wheels, though I've seen all manner of stuff hanging up. Can't really comment on price - I got charged 60 notes for a steel frame to be blasted and powder coated, don't know if that's good or not. Quality of work is excellent. The bits that...

today I nearly got killed by a pr1ck driving a 205 up London road who decided to use the bus lane as a short cut without checking to see if it was occupied.

Think it's 10:30 Sat Morning - which car park though? Looks like I've finally earnt a pass - Fence built/windows painted/sink replace. Only a day trip though :( Now. I need to finishing building the GT. :)

Speaking from experience, suck it up and try and channel it into something productive. Normally I'd say finding another job, but as you point out, not the best of times... :( Similar(ish) thing happened to me years ago - I won a two week snowboarding holiday for two to Colorado whilst a shift...

Smart looking bit of kit, great price. I on the other hand have just took delivery of an eBay chainring, described as 'used', better term would be 'damaged'. :evil:

Drink-driver jailed over cyclist death Only five years.

...or blow holes in your existing stuff (speaking from experience). :oops:

Productive weekend saw the GT Safety Bicycle partially built. Still need to source a few bits and pieces; brake cable inner, front mech, new pads, seat post (the one pictured is wedged in with cardboard) etc. Dependent on parts should be finished mid-Oct. :)

I'll take the following, PM on way :) Shimano Acera FD-M330 bottom pull, 31.8mm, all works : £3

My Grandpa bought a Bentley in the thirties, eventually had to scrap it but kept the number plate. Bringing it back out of retirement many years later on a succession of cars through the 70s & 80s. It was such a familiar site in Ayton and the surrounding Berwickshire countryside that he was...

Sounds like flirting to me! :shock:

There's something to be said for the weedy door pillars you used to get in the old days. Not much cop at saving your own life (though the pillars on an old MGB GT did the trick when I rolled it on the Kelso to Leitholm road), but you did get a better view. :)

What!?! The butterfly garden? Finally finished! :D Did I mention it was 25m long?

Always fancied building my own sea kayak using the copper wire stitching method, just need a long enough shed. Couple of sites of interest: Buying the plans. Instructions. Example build.

Need to pick up more slats from MGM timber tomorrow to finish it off, but the hard works done. Putting in 15 stobs with a post driver nearly finished me off. For the record I hail from the finest border toon: Kelsae!
