  1. I feel sorry for Rosie! She has sworn off the juice for SIX WEEKS! So she will miss the Club House clean out the bar party.
  2. Before taking out, try putting in, Slick 50 gear box treatment. Works an absolute treat in Landy's and the Dodge. Only needs to go in once as well.
  3. Well if Heaven has an L.E.Z. and/or Congestion charging! I'm buying a shovel!!
  4. What part will Jack play? :cool2:
  5. Never did find out. Only that it was harmless. Remember the 'Germ War' scare of the same time? Anthrax through the post. That generated some funny calls as well.
  6. Petro Patch, that's the bunny! Useful for a fair sized hole if you tack some ali mesh under it, or wrap round a screw and insert in hole.
  7. My son was born three months premature. Now he's twenty three, six foot one inch, into Land Rovers, TA RLC and costing me money! I intend to get old disgracefully and disgrace him! (Revenge will be sweet)
  8. Life= 100% fatality! So may you all live forever, die happy and be in haven before the Devil knows your gone!
  9. There are various liquid sealants that slosh round the tank. There is also a stuff called Petro leack or Petro fix. It comes in a small bottle and is grey. You use a specially impregnated cotton suplied with the stuff. I've used that and works very well. The other one I always keep a tube in the box is Plastic Steel. It comes in a clear plastic tube. The stuf has a grey outside and black inner. Breack a lump off and knead till it is a regular colour. I've used that to fix a inch square hole in a sump, worked perfectly.Far superoir to Plastic Padding as it sets under water and is more tolerant of dirt and oil.
  10. Yeah mate! The Proffesional and Advanced range have the same liftime garuntee as Snap On and a lot less cost. The guy at Halfords said they do get some returned with the ratchets gone. I've never had that problem. The ratchets are five degree so need very little movment to work. The best things I've got are a set of Half Moon Ratchets, they get into the places other ratchets won't fit.
  11. A few minutes of pleasure.....................:undecided:
  12. Won't be burning any witches. Can't afford the fuel!
  13. Just had a 6mm thermostat housing stud go on me. :noyay:The stud extractor I had wouldn't go small enough.:banghead: Fortunatley a quick check on the net Halford's Advance Stud Extractor set. Four sizes 12mm 10mm 8mm and 6mm. £22.99 a set . Bit bullet scared moths out of wallet. Put 6 mm on with 1/2 inch drive ratchet, one quick twist out came stud rust and muck as well! :yay::dancinggirls:
  14. In 1978 during February there was phonemenal snow fall on Exmoor. It all came down over a Saturday night. To give you an idea of the depth700 feet up the side of the hill, and I was walking along the house at first floor level. As you can imagine transport came to a halt, except I could get out on the horses. One farmer was cut of for three or four days. The first help he saw was a helicopter landing . He was much relived, till it turned out to be a load of reporters! They couldn't use anything he said. Local legend was that they did manage to get the helicopter above 12 bore range before he got back. As for stupidity. Sunny Tilbury, one Saturday afternoon. A strange green substance started to bubble out of the drains at one of the multi story car parks. Police cordoned the area off, local radio started broadcasting the end of the world, people were escorted in to get there cars out, local Trumpton on full aleart! In the middle of all this muggins was in the control room, sods law, the main Force Information Room was shut for viatl work and we'd been farmed out round the local staions. Frantic 999 cal from a woman. She'd got thsi stuff on her shoes and feet, was she going to die? Being practical I asked how she got covered in the stuff, the area was cordoned off with cones Police Do Not Cross Tape and all people were being escorted to the vehicles, by a safe route. Her reply 'Well, I saw all the tape, but didn't think it applied to me! So I just stepped over it!'
  15. The story came from a reliable Gurnersey Occupation scource. The intial clue was from the actual person who drove the vehicle into the tunnel. Trouble is you know the sort of polotics little rocks generate. The last reliable report I had was that negotioations were in progres to do a thourgh survey of the area. Steve, most stuff was dumped in Hurd's Deep, which is north east of Alderney. Amongst other things down there is the J class Yacht Westwind, formerly belonging to Tom Davis. Major Seargent, took photos of his operations, with Ward La France's dumping guns over Les Landes. CIOS Jersey have recoverd some. An enormous job, I have photos of the kit Martin Garnier and the guys used to get them up.
  16. I think the second one is at the back of what is now Quennavais Parade. Near the Railway Walk.
  17. Mash, most are rumours and wishful thinking. This one though is under investigation. Found these photos.
  18. Possibly one still in Gurnersey under St John's somewhere.
  19. Welcome Berni! All sorts of old heaps get on here. Take me for instance. :-D

    Sure enough! The little garage is now at £1.42.9:shocked:
  21. Yes, the Char B was displayed at HO8 The Jersey War Tunnels, or as the rest of us call it The Underground Hospital. It has now been returned. Without checking the books ten were sent to the Islands. Some were modified to SPG's and three were flame throwers. Various turrets were mounted on bunkers in the Island's.
  22. Genuinly , a Friend of mine was having trouble with a drunk on a bus. A couple of Gurkha's came to his aid. Carl was amazed who far a sixteen stone odd drunk could fly! :cool2:
  23. Like it! Now If I can re-motgage the club house to fill the Disiel tank I might have a bit left over...
