:clap: i quite liked it, Berni

this thread has made me chuckle a fair bit. :yay: cheers guys Berni

i did..... i spent more than russ for a change i got my US uniform which looks real dead smart & then i treated myself to some proper scaffolding to go underneath http://www.lamagia-lingerie.co.uk/what-katie-did/192-maitresse-bullet-bra-set open at your own risk.YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED :schocked: please note this is not a picture of me wearing my purchases but of a rather more slender version of the female species. so now i've showed you mine you have to show me yours. ;-) Berni

newish house with lower ceilings advantages are changing lightbulbs,painting walls & ceilling. dissadvantages are limitations with lightshades & potential decapitation if ceiling fans fitted, swinging cats can also be classed as a dangerous pastime with lower ceilings berni

i'm not quite what can be classed as lady material in fact i am unlady material so that rule doesn't count :-D as for the fighting talk i have this notion that as long as russ can touch the ceiling he can change all the lightbulbs i require ;-) i'll stick to scrubbing floors, with my accident record it is much safer Berni

being a mere female i'm not sure what a light bulb is let alone how to change it :angel: anyway thats what i got married for :whistle: i saw that loo seat in the sunday paper & thought the designer must have a real boring life to have come up with an idea like that. :dunno: and have you decided what is old yet so i know which catagory to put myself into at 38 i could start up the tweeny group, not young & not old just in beTWEEN :tup: Berni

we are going to try & meet up with commander at St mere aglise but the itinery hasn;t been finalised as yet so i am not sure of the logistics.] they were enthusiastic about the green machines but with the other events planned it will depend on how things work out . a hopeful Berni

:schocked: :nono: OH DEAR OH DEAR OH DEAR i don't even think i want an explanation for that one Berni

welcome from another ungirlie girlie,we are out here but you have to look really hard. life would be so dull without the green beasties to work on & take to shows. it is such a hard life sitting in a filed surrounded by friends with a never ending supply of beer. ahh roll on the summer Berni

welcome to the institution, i have invested in 1 of them glo toilets that light up green if the seat is down & red if the man of the house has left it up. ( not sure what colour it is if the full lid is down though) i also have an MW. make yourself at home Berni

we'll be there sunday dressed up like michelin men. it is supposed to be soooooo cold. the coldest stoneleigh i've been to was a few years ago now & it took my windscreen water bottle till evesham to defrost. look for my pink shoes guys ( they have 2 inches of insulation) Berni

so rowan, i have to find out what my adoptive show son gets up to by reading it on the internet. tut..tut...tut... :lipsrsealed: Berni

Hi Andy , It sounds like you have tried everything . What happens if you pour a little fuel down the carb and then turn her over ? If she start's then its fuel or lack of . Take the spark plug out of No 1 cylinder and then bring the piston to the top , check at the distributor to see if the rotor arm is at no 1. What sometimes happens is , the small drive cog at the bottom of the dizzy has a pin which locates the cog to the dizzy shaft , if that pin has snapped the cog will move but not the shaft in the dizzy ? Hope this helps . Cheers Russ

as soon as russ gets a few minutes i'll get him to read the above & see if he has any more ideas. i know we had some new bits & 1 of them was faulty so even though we had replaced it it still didn't work, i can't remember what bit it was but russ had to take it off, send it back & the replacement worked fine. maybe a possibility? Berni

folk in the 'normal world' think i am insane to be in this hobby & folk in this hobby think i am insane for being in the 'normal world' ( well only on a part time basis) what is wrong with an upside down garfield anyway, he seems perfectly normal to me :dunno: berni

update on a phone call i recieved tonight, he is also paying for all 49 people to go into all museums & the 360 cinema. he deserves a bit more than a pat on the back, mind you he did say his staff now think he is fantastic & morale in the office has grown tenfold. berni

last night we had the first of many meetings with a company called E4 based in Bristol who are owned by a really decent chap called Gerard Magee. Gerard saw the tv news bulletins back last year about Ted portlock who took money off many legion members for a non existant pilgramage to Normandy for D DAY 2006. it was only when my dad turned up on my doorstep, on the friday they were supposed to have left,absolutley beside himself with fury & disappointment that i heard what had happened. anyway Gerard saw the news about the court case & as he owns a corporate tour company said to himself that he could take everyone instead. so here we are at the first meeting with , as it turned out, me being the only other person in the room who has been to the Beaches making suggestions on where to go & what to see. it was really good in the respect that because we will be the only ones on the tour we can go where we wish & because of the circumstances of how it all came about mr G said 9 of his tour guides will be with us as well so it should be fab. so, he has now gone away with a list & will put together an itinery for the tue,wed,thu. the wednesday will be unbelievable & i will have a big pack of tissues in my pocket because we are starting off with a service in Bayeaux Cathedral at 10am followed by a ceremony in the Bayeaux Military Cemetary. then 17.30 at Arromanche for a full colours service. WOW I feel so lucky to have this opportunity & judging by the sense of humour & cheekiness of the over 65's the trip will be unbelievably memorable there is so much to say i can't work out what to say & in which order but the upshot is Myself & the other legion members owe a huge thank you to Gerard for offering his company & services for free to make up for the upset of last year. i will post more as details come through . Berni

i also found a live round it was under the weld rim on the inner wing of my series 3, was having a good old scrub down just after we bought it & on pulling out years old mud out came a live round, i was the first registered owner & my lannie had served in Northern Ireland according to the release papers so who knows how the round came to be there.
