Please all wear name badges as there is no way I'll remember who is who after all these years.

Tom, you'll be fine mate.

If they want to 're-launch' that thing may I suggest East Sussex has a few suitable cliffs!

Yes you!
Everyone knows it is actually the Thetford Weekend Amidst Tents.

Date is somewhat fluid atm the it seems, though first weekend in July is being promulgated.
It involves a field, tents, beer, bbq and lots of pointless chat as far as I can make out.
In other words, every ex-serviceman's dream

Will be there even if I have to push start it :lol: Tom I think the last time we met was 13th July 2011. I am looking forward to seeing you again in much happier circumstances. I may even bring a tent and partake of an ale with you. (Unless you're still on the Cinzano and lemonades of course? :xd: )

Are you sure you haven't got all the plug leads on one place to the left or right of where they should be?
Ask me how I know.

Right on my doorstep so could nip down and meet up for a while?

Hi Martin

It's the Angel Inn, Larling - assuming we get some interest!

Bloody hell! I can walk there!!!!

Yeah, you can still do it with a bigger bit of poly bag so it goes round it. Hi Martin, do you mean allow the poly/clingfilm, etc. to 'sag' underneath the level indicator/gubbins, so you have a sort of U shape in effect, which then comes up and out under the cap/threads. Yes. I wouldn't trust cling...

Well I stand corrected but I've still never had success with that method. Not much use on a master cylinder reservoir cap with a fluid level indicator I would have thought, Yeah, you can still do it with a bigger bit of poly bag so it goes round it. The system has to be sealed to stop leaks, so tha...

It would be about as effective as the other old wive's tale of putting clingfilm over the reservoir. Call me an old wife then, as I've done that countless times since I first started back on my old Mk1 Escort. Fill the reservoir to the brim then a poly bag under the cap and do it up tight. Basic ph...

WD40 is not penetrating oil it is Water Displacement fluid and it was the 40th formula, hence the name. Just for the record, I agree with your definition of the original WD40, however the name has now become generic for more products in their range and they now do a Penetrating Oil in spray form as...

WD40 do one now.
Worked well on the seized suspension bolts on my Z4 the other week.

the non-covid death rate has been consistently higher than the 5 year average for about 6 months and is affecting all age groups. Or maybe it is still covid, but either people can't be arsed to write it on the death certificate, or have been instructed not to? They used to say opinions are like ars...

I decided to look into this myself and I've discovered that 100% of people have died of lack of breath!

No self-respecting fish is going to hang around while you're crashing about though is it?

So here's another theory: Mother Nature decided to do something about the over-population by hoomans, who are killing off all the other species in their way. The sneaky hoomans thought they'd be clever with their little syringes and beat Mother Nature. But she was a step or two ahead. Ready for that...

But , if the cops came to me and said Di had been a victim bla bla bla ........I wouldnt tell her . I just cant see how she would be better off knowing. Hypothetically, of course

Aren't you just skirting the issue?

But guessing from the nature of his demise, no good at 'drifting'.

Maybe what you need is something to generate sparks in the engine bay to keep it warm?
