  1. Most of our hgv at work are auto . They're so much nicer to drive , and I feel myself sulking when I have to drive a manual truck now 😁. Trucks have changed massively over the last few years . You don't even need to get out of the cab to check your oil and water now .
  2. In my previous life as a mechanic , I used to fit hand controls , for disabled drivers . The test drive after installing a set of controls was always interesting, because it just feels so unnatural . I remember fitting a set to a 2.8injection Ford capri , and fully expecting that I might die on the test drive πŸ˜„.
  3. You just painted a wonderful picture . thankyou πŸ‘.
  4. It would be nice to think , that the hand of friendship has been graciously outstretched, and that it will be graciously accepted. Only time will tell.
  5. The BBC are just doing what the majority of the viewing public , and the country, would want them to do. One of the very interesting programs that I've watched over the last couple of days , explained how it had all been planned years in advance , with the Queen playing a very large part in the planning . TV programs, radio programs ( respectful music), the funeral coverage etc , just about everything had already been planned in minute detail. I believe that the regular BBC 1 programs, are being shown on some other BBC channel.
  6. Dave , our Queen of 70 years has passed away . It is a monumental happening for most of us . Many of us feel a great sadness , that will last longer than a two hour long news programme. We all feel grief in different ways . Your grief may be short lived , but , for others it may last longer . Just be patient, your usual programming will return shortly πŸ‘.
  7. I'll watch it , until I no longer feel the need to watch it . I shall also be respectful of the fact , that other people may feel the need to watch it for longer than I do, and, If they find comfort in it , then who am I to deny them that comfort ?. When I've seen enough , I'll turn my TV onto one of the other hundreds of channels.
  8. I'll be honest , a lot of the presenters aren't doing great , but , it's something that is changing minute by minute , and they're just trying to fill the gaps , and whilst it's clear that some of presenters have very little knowledge of history , some of them are extremely knowledgeable, and are very interesting. Also , a lot of the people that are watching proceedings on TV, will be like myself, and will be finding it very comforting. I'm not usually much of a TV fan , but , I've probably watched more TV in the last two days , than I've watched in the last two years.
  9. I agree with this . The passing of the Queen , has saddened me much more than I ever thought that it would , and , I've found the constant TV coverage very comforting . I've learned more about the Queen, and our traditions, in the last two days , than I've learned in my previous 54 years.
  10. This. I would very much think that her vile and hateful behaviour, will have sunk her business. The locals ( her everyday customers) , made their feelings very clear.
  11. What a disrespectful scrubber . I hope her business never makes another penny.
  12. Today has been a very sad day . The world seems a poorer place.
  13. Rest in peace your majesty , and thankyou. Long live the King.
  14. It was the cheapest roll of green chicken wire that I could find on ebay . On reflection, I wish I'd spent an extra few quid , and bought better stuff , that was stronger , and longer lasting. I just layed it on top of the finished panels , then stapled it on with an electric stapler , then trimmed it up with the angle grinder with a thin cutting disc. πŸ‘.
  15. Mine is flat pack , and goes on my roof rack , then gets cable tied togetherπŸ‘. VID-20220907-WA0008.mp4
  16. Top job Grant πŸ‘ . It's brilliant when it all drops into place like that .
  17. Very generous scully and button. Well played gents πŸ‘.

    Quick , hump as many as you can before they all get thin 😁
  19. One part of my brain is telling me to prepare for the end of the world as we know it , but , another part of my brain is telling me that I got prepared for the end of the world as we know it , when covid reared its ugly head , and that covid just turned into a great big pile of xxxx all , that wasted my , time , money, and , effort .
  20. Free beer and hotel rooms . It would just end up with an unwanted pregnancy , and a lot of red faces πŸ™ƒ.
  21. Interesting choice of cartridges though dave πŸ€”
