MOT fail / six-pot rant

then for the rest of the fortnight pie & chips from the Kingfisher
takeaway.

 

Aye... I use it on seals etc when doing a spot of plumbing etc.

<googles>

Nice - used it for scuba, I take it?

 

Given my penchant for SOBs of late, I think maybe a tin is in order.

 

Oh, you were referring to Big cats. I see. Now.

 

I've got a can of the spray stuff in the garage. I've found it's
generally great for making a mess but not so good for lubricating
anything smaller than a wardrobe.

 

Nah, they'll just encourage some kind of turf war between the boar and
the foxes and let them sort each other out.

Now, when a kid on a bicycle gets caught in the crossfire, *that's* when
they'll napalm the forest.n

 

The need to reintroduce the boars' natural predator. What could go wrong
with a pack of wolves wandering around Puzzlewood?

 

Gauls?

 

+1

I've even sunk so low as to spray a bit in the lid and use a brush to
apply it where it's needed.

 

I have a tub, had it 3 years and barely made a dent in the contents
despite rebuilding about 25 sets of calipers.

You try finding Red Rubber Grease anywhere locally - near impossible.

Top Gear, Flitwick. Four doors down from GLF.

Sachets and tubes on the shelf, occasionally a tin - but they'll get
you a tin in an hour if you ask 'em.

 

I quite like the bumpy bits. I'll have to find an opportunity to try
the place unaccompanied.

 

The bastards never told me that when I fucking asked them for some 3
years ago. I got it next day from the MG Owners Club via ebay

It may have been the result of having a word with them after your
experience. They always did have, which is why I sent you up there.
They had tubes the other day, 'cos I saw a hairy mechanic buy one
instead of three sachets.

 

Tut tut. My tube of Copaslip is still going strong after 30 years at
least.

 

*ding*

They've had it in for three days now, knowing full well that I'm meant to be
on the midday ferry tomorrow. I call at 5:15 today - "Er, it's not ready."

Right. Fucking cunts. They claim it will be ready at 9:30 tomorrow morning,
but I'm going to have to book the ferry much later as I need time to sort the
luggage etc. It had better be discount city, I'm not being funny but it's
fucked up the start of my holiday.

- What with the Internet, it doesn't take long to feel like one is an
- expert on any subject these days.

 

I see no reason why not. You live a much more abrasive lifestyle than
I do. The fact that you're skinny, fit and healthy doesn't outweigh my
drinking, smoking and boderline obese life of leisure, I'm afraid.

 

Ditto, bought mine in around 1989 and it's still full. When it gets used
I just take bits off the inside of the lid.

 

We're going to Keswick for two weeks on 03/09.

Got anything else to recommend?
[/QUOTE]

Ummmm Keswick itself is nice enough and you can walk down to the lake
and get a cruise around it. I'd avoid Bowness, we drove through it to
get to Keswick and it was absolutely heaving, although it might be a bit
quieter by then. Lakeside and Haverthwaite railway was ok, aquarium at
the lakeside end is worth a look.

Other than that there's lots of walking to be done.

We were only there for 3 days and it rained each day so we just mooched
around, boy wasn't very well so that curtailed anything too exciting.
