MOT fail / six-pot rant

Sachet? Poof.

Get a tube, man. Or better, a tin. A tin should see you out and then
it can become an heirloom.

 

Get with the times old man - JIT is where it's at.

 

Yeah, until you need the product at 10pm on a Saturday, when you've got
a need for that vehicle on the Sunday. Or at five pm on Sunday, with a
trackday Monday.

I like to have stuff in stock.

 

Thankfully I'm not /quite/ that disorganised.

 

Am I alone in not liking the Lakes area very much. Ok for a walk, or a ride
through out of hours, but otherwise it's utterly packed with ramblers and
mouth breathers and is unbearably twee. It's populated by the sort of people
who wanted a 10mph ban on the water FFS.

And the weather makes Scotland look tropical.

 

I'm going to will my pot of copper grease to my son.

 

Last couple of times I've been for a walk in the Lakes, I've covered
15-20 miles and only seen a couple of people. Like anywhere that
involves "the great outdoors", you simply need to avoid the bits that
are easy to get to.

 

Very ding.

We have the same thing in the New Forest. The dog walkers cover an area
about 500m around each car park, outside that it's basically empty.

 

Fraser's.

 

As I alluded to.

I'd always go up the Scottish west coast by preference TBF.

 

There used to be loads of RUPPs around here where you'd only ever see
the occasional 4x4 or trailbike. They've been lost to the undergrowth
forever now thanks to the vehicle ban.

Meanwhile the Ramblers who instigated it continue to trudge up & down
the Ridgeway in their thousands, same as they always did, completely
oblivious to all the other trails they've destroyed.

 

I would promote the re-introduction of big cats and bears now.

 

Silicon is great for rubber seals. I use it on the seal for my Ikelite
camera housing.

Silicon grease for Butyl rubber it wont make it swell or soften.

 

No I am not over keen. Ended up visiting a few times as the ex was for
some reason fond of the place. I just found it to be a bit dull.

 

Well, me of course. I shall use it on my hair.

 

Be careful for what you wish.

 

Yeah, right.

If I had a fiver for every time some organised bastard has said that to
me, four days before the event, I could have collected thousands of
oily fivers eight hours prior to kickoff.

 

I was careful with that lower case b

 

I threw mine in the bin when I discovered that you can steal cans of
the spray on variety from work.

If you think back a couple of years to the team ukrm/team ixie
Donington barbeque we wasted a couple of cans spraying it into the
fire.

 

They've just been talking about the wild boar in the Forest of Dean on
the news. Apparently attempts to control numbers have failed, so
they're just gonna leave 'em to it. Until the first child attack of
course, at which point they'll napalm the place.
