Been buzzy. Filled screen wash with Halfords lime berry flavour only got 20L left now

I've got blackcurrent in mine. 

Did you buy in bulk at the sale price £2.48.

No I missed that.  £4.99 for 5 litres of blackcurrent concentrate, which will last for ages as I'm stingy with it!    It's too much like cordial for my liking though, so keep it away from the kids!! 

You kept them quiet...

Not mine!!      Just general advice to those who forgot to use a condom!

Make sure you don't drop the rear bush bolt into the subframe which is very easily done!    Loosen it and either stuff a rag around the gap or tie a bit of string around the bolt so that if you do drop it in the hole you can pull it out. 

It's a complete PITA retrieving it if you do lose it in the subframe!

I'll see tomorrow when it's all dried out, but yes I might have a very clean patch!   

Should be good though, it's dark brown with a speckle in it, so it hides a lot of abuse!

No it's a place that I rent out, where the tenant did one and left it in a bit of a state.      Hey ho.... 

Anyway the ice worked a treat! I made a big block last night in a marg tub, sat it on the gummy patch for half and hour and then gave it a good scrub and it's all come out! 

OOF to the rescue once again!!!

I'm in Dorset at the moment, Steve....if you need more spit, me and swmbo will pop over

Thanks Tony, but I'm in South Wales, which is a bit of a way for a spitting party!

I read somewhere else that olive oil breaks it down.... 

I thought she died years ago. 

I must have read that wrong then.  It probably should have read that Olive Oil is broken down.

The last thing that struck me was MrOmegaMan's presentation of his Omega including wonderful landscape and medieval fortresses in excellent condition.

We keep those handy in case we ever need to subjugate the Welsh again!

I think I'll try the ice before the spit....   

Keep 'em coming lads!! 

Cut out a square foot of carpet with a sharp knife and replace it with a piece from under the sofa.

Not such a sharp tool.....     

Got a nice block of ice in the freezer.    Maybe I'll spit on it and then ice it!

Ebay is fine if you use the classified ads, I don't bother with the auctions anymore.    It's a lot cheaper than Autotrader, but not as cheap as Gumtree!
