As is the way they have other people to see but should find out one way or the other in the next few days...

Git,

Just don't wear your kilt out on Tuesdays, it's TV night in the big city...

Right now where's my sheep gone?
Don't hassle me
I'll get there at some time

Found a 1970s Ransomes 20" petrol Lawn mower in my shed at the new house when the previous owner did a very sh1t job of clearing up when he left... it was a non runner, but complete.

so decided as it was spring I would see if I could get it started..... Amal carb so corroded all the jets were blocked and the throttle slide woulnt move, no spark and fuel tap missing.

so a few hours with my AF spanners and its alive :D :D ......... pulls like a train with its 150cc Villiers/BSA side valve engine.


How sad am I that I should be so happy saving old tat from the skip!!!!!! oh hold on, that's what we all do with our storms :lol:

saturday afternoon, suns out, get the bike out for a real good run :thumbup: . 230 miles of pure fun ,but the funiest part sailing down the M2 heading home
sitting about 85 ish sails past a skoda and kinda to late to find out its a traffic branch car :( , so acts all normal and carries on with them just sitting back a bit. a further few miles on and of the slip road comes this cockhead in a Audi A5 cuts across infront of me and goes straight to the outside lane and sits about 90ish at least and the skoda pulls out past me , sits behind mr Audi who then thinks its a race, just about then the skoda lights up like a xmas tree with blue lights :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D .

god i smiled as i sailed past, the little things in life that brings a smile to my face... :thumbup:
the older i get,the faster i was :lol:
