If I may be humble and serious for a moment...
« on: 11 April 2011, 08:29:08 »

And I purposely bumped the 'OOF Spirit' thread as well - a thread I had missed (along with many others it seems ::)) due to being quite busy over the weekend.


I would like to pass on my sincere thanks to 2 members, a certain lazytinker and a certain chrisgixer, who gave up some days of their time to come to deepest Brackley to help get the LPG kit fitted to TBE. Also, to tunnie for giving up one of his days off, as he was in Brackley anyway.


Another thread asks what the OOF spirit is. Its when people are prepared to give up their time and help others for no reward beyond that warm feeling of knowing you have helped.


So a very humble, sincere thankyou to all 3 of you.  I am touched, and honoured.


(and don't worry, normal service will resume soon).

So is it running on fart gas yet, and more importantly did you use it for work?

It runs fine on petrol. It ran fine on LPG when we breifly tested it yesterday, before disconnection the LPG liquid feed and removing the LPG fuse whilst we have a ponder on the next step...

As well as the tools I do know about, would that include one of those screwdriver bit adapters that come in those HellFrauds sets?

...and curry ::) :D

But in all seriousness. Even in my fragile state it has been a really enjoyable long weekend. SWMBO commented last night that it must have done me some good (psychologically) because I seemed much more relaxed.

The slight fail aside, I've had a really enjoyable weekend and not laughed so much in ages ;D ;D

You are more than welcome for the help TB, it was worth the graft in the end :y

Splendid news - well done to the trio.  :-* 8-) :y

I certainly agree that this is but one example of the OOF spirit - but a very important one at that -  as this inclination to help in such a generous way places this Forum far beyond many others.

There is that... But it was really just a continuation of it ;D

I should add that my role over the weekend was predominantly as an advisor... I did manage to do a few little things but not a lot :( TB said he needed my brain more though ::)
