And get that bird feeder pole vertical. Even allowing for camera being at an odd angle, it looks off compared to other  things.

Looks like it’s been fitted using Barry’s spirit level.

And it’s Kimbers that’s at an odd angle, not the camera.

It was level to begin with but we have some "large visitors" who land heavily and its slowly toppling! Namely Pigeons, Jays, Magpies and even a crow or 2!

Mate of mine was clearing out his Travel Agents and said he had found 3no Goodwood posters and did I want them. Thought that might be cool once new garage is done. Just checked on eBay and they are going for circa £175 a pop 

[Sparky]

I believe you promised one of those to me, during the 5th bottle, at Edge Hill.

[Dan E]

I don’t think we had a 5th! Or did we? 

[Sparky]

TBH I have no idea what happened that night.

[Dan E]

@JNW3 got us drunk, we were the innocent parties that is how I don’t remember it 

[Kimbers]

Pfft I don't believe that having drunk with Sparky a time or 2!

[JNW3]

I still blame it on being a school night and getting over excited😊🍺🍷

Just been having a look through the Elite workshop manual posted by Bib's.

When is he last time you saw an exploded view of almost every part and showing how they work and how to repair them. Would any mechanics from say the 80's on wards know how to fit a set of brushes to a starter motor or dynamo. Those pages alone are worth keeping for those of us who work on the older more genteel model's.

Been looking for a deal for my wife as her car is getting close to 30 months old of a 36 month agreement and POW! Peugeot have hit the market for 3 days only ith £6000 off 208 Allure Premium 5dr on PCP. That means with no deposit, 3 years £189 a month. However the dealer has offered me £1500 above her settlement figure on her Kia so that makes it £149  month! that nothing! Happy Days, deal done.

What made me Happy Today.

After sorting out the fuel and timing issue with the Black Elite she is now starting off the key for te first time in about 18 years as far as I can tell by her history. Result for LotusRescue. She is now heading for an MOT on Friday although officially she no longer requires one, but it will be a bit of reassurance for her next owner. Happy Day. ☺️

And yes, the belts were changed.

What is they say about some people falling in shit and coming up smelling of roses. You never mentioned the bonus of the money saved on Wendy's car can be spent on goodies for the Evora. Ooops, maybe shouldn't have said that.

From that ^^^^ article:

"Migration pits southern Europe against the north.

Italy and Greece smoulder with resentment at having been left alone to deal with migrant arrivals. Meanwhile, northern countries blame the south for not patrolling their Mediterranean borders better and for having, at least in the past, enabled migrants to "slip away" northwards towards richer Germany, Austria and Sweden

Migration slashes the EU from east to west too.

Newer member states from Central and Eastern Europe never signed up to the post World War Two "all for one and one for all" vision.

When it comes to EU solidarity and burden-sharing, they are fervent non-believers. They determinedly turn their backs when Italy and Germany plead for migrant quotas."

 

So to decode the speak there in those quotes. Europe is in jeopardy because:

1. Southern European countries that have been lazy and poor in paying for their own existence through inefficient tax collection and blatant tax avoidance have expected and demanded that the hard working north pays for them.

2. Countries who joined from the the East have just expected the wealthy nations of the West to pay for them to have more  nice things for no effort.

The net result is that you could argue that Britain, France and Germany are expected to pay for, or make up everyone else's shortfall and when we say enough it really pisses those everyone else off!

Remind we again why brexit is so bad? LOL.
