Anyone see a pattern forming?

Ah yes! The type of people that you admire!    So here's a few more that should fit Gixer's pin up pattern! 

Simon Cowell, Katie Price, Justin Bieber, Piers Morgan, Russell Brand and Ed Balls!   

If anyone can think of someone who would fit the pattern and should grace Gixer's bedroom wall in poster format, feel free to add to the list! 

David Wally I ams?

I received this offer in my email today, and it looks a good deal - unless you know better?
Anyone had experience of TalkTalk?

All three, Chris, plus his disastrous stint as a judge on BGT or X-Factor, whichever.
Who or what is a Rooney?

I suppose I'm the only one who thinks he is as UNfunny as Morecombe and Wise?

Your method worked for me, Al, when I had a similar problem, but I had to push down and pull up on the bonnet alternately until eventually sprang up properly.
The cable is dead easy to adjust, as I found from the guide on here.....

Get this slime to show you ALL the aspects/features of several producrs, wasting as much of his time as possible and lowering his earning potential, then speak to his manager, saying that he has lost the branch a sale - then as he has shown you what you need to know about the products and you know what you want, go elsewhere (discounted online?) and buy it!

Omega General Help / Re: I need a fat pickle fork joint splitter. Does anyone make one?

« on: 24 March 2014, 11:35:28 »

I haven't popped a ball joint for ages, but a technique that always worked for me involved the use of two hammers (remember the old joke about "bricking the camel"?), with the larger hammer, say a club hammer, behind the joint and aiming a sharp, firm blow at the front of the joint with the other hammer.
The pin always popped!

Utterly gorgeos motors - they really look the part!
The book is on my wish list, Sir.
I am reminded of another independent sports car company who operated from Witham when I first moved here....do you remember Ginetta?

The system seems lenient on everyone except motorists - but then, they make loads of money out of us!
Doesn't a life sentence mean a whole life one, now?

General Discussion Area / Re: Leaking over flow

« on: 21 March 2014, 16:32:16 »

Last year my overflow pipe in the loft froze after a similar leak and then the main tank overflowed - into my son's bedroom!
I replaced both the Portsmouth valves in the tanks with Fluidmaster units and they are much quieter and fill more quickly.

« on: 21 March 2014, 16:26:05 »

There are SO many of these scammers, asking for your personal details for verification.
Please be sure that no legitimate organisation will EVER ask you for any such details, and will always address you by name - "Dear Customer" is a dead give-away.
