The class is taught in Spanish as the only common language though the tutor has some English. There is an Italian, Turk, Ukrainian, South African and about 7 Moroccans .  The Moroccans are all young and so quick to learn……

Takes me back to the old TV days

A lot of local suppliers have shut down over the years, but try CPC (Farnell) RS Componenents and the the obvious EB  & Amzon if you cant get local.

Well, I did what I shouldn't do at the moment and laid on the floor and found the clip to release the bulb unit, before getting into the inner part where the bulb was.  Bulb changed, so another thing off the list before the MOT in January.

To think the Vx dealer wanted £27 to do that!

My MOT tester failed me for a Dip beam bulb a few years ago, he fitted me one and when the Test bill came in I asked about the bulb as ther was no charge.  all I got was see you this time next year.

Need more rear tyres, so only got 13 months from them

But how many miles.?

When I bought my Sylvia turbo in the 80's I managed 8k before the 1st set were bald and I was only running in the car from new.

Back to Luke, he lost the final, so his girlfriend will dump him now.

But he won £200K she might wait a while longer.

..... 
I have toys stored that my parents bought me as a baby,  .... and Scalextric set being a couple of them.
 ...

Likewise 

A lot of things have mysteriously dissapeared over the years and apparently my Brother & Sister know nothing.

Mamod Steam Engine and Decent set of Beer mats along with my Psalters Microscope.

Dont know if anyone will remember but from  the petrol stations I got the full Kings & Queens Busts collection from my Dad filling up with petrol.

Plus my Mum collected for me the Chivers Golliwogs (Full Set) Probably a very controversal collection by todays standards.

We are downsizing after a lifetime of hoarding

I think there are a few of us out there.

My Grandparents and my Mother were horders and I seem to have have followed the family tradition.

I have started a massive sort out as I can never find anthing when I want it.

One of my biggest issues is paper work scattered all over the place, car mags that date back to 1977.  I have toys stored that my parents bought me as a baby, Hornby Railway and Scalextric set being a couple of them.

It will be fun.
