Hot end of a cigarette

One more, what is this picture of taken very close..

Yep its the inside of an Acoustic guitar.

Any ideas as to what it really is..? ..

Yep probably through the glass, through the seat and out through the floor pan. Nice neat hole though.😁

Could you not drill your hole in the actual body of the snug top near to the brake light? Then with a little improvisation and maybe a bit of bending of the wiper arm. Might be easier than trying to drill glass.

Its not a great film Alien was far far superior. But as a supposed prequel it just dosn't add up.

Finally got round to watching this movie and it wasn't what I expected, supposedly a prequel to Alien. Apart from the bit at the end it really didn't have much to do with the Alien film. Where did the eggs come from in the first film? they were not in the ship that crashed, Where did the face huggers originate from if there was no eggs? In the beginning of Prometheus the planet is named as LV423 but in Alien its called LV426. In Alien on board the ship you see one of the Aliens in the pilot chair with a hole in its chest which is obviously where an Alien burst out of. But that particular Alien in Prometheus leaves the ship after it crashes and attacks the scientist. gets attacked by the big Octopus alien. You then at the end see a Alien that we all know burst out of his chest, well it looked similar but was fully grown. I don't think it was a prequel to Alien in shape or form. In fact if I'm honest it wasn't a great film at all.

Full on Bah Humbug at Fatchap acres I'm afraid. Kids grown up. Me I still get well enthusiastic at Christmas and each year try to convince her to get a real tree, loads of decorations etc. But get told to grow up, and then she comes out with the most blatant lie ever about there being no such thing as Father Christmas. Seriously does she think I'm that stupid Who's face is on the side of the Coca Cola lorry every year and more to the point who puts the pressies under the tree? Eh Eh?

What are the rules on Covid for people working in an office? We have 4 confirmed cases of Covid19 at work, 1 store man and 3 drivers, We now have to wear a mask in the warehouse, Going to the shops and wearing a mask is no big deal, but wearing a mask and loading your van with Mosa's (diesel welder 400 kilo's plus) And all the other heavyweight plant we deal with breathing with the mask on is very difficult. You can't get your breath properly with that much physical exertion. But the office containing 13 staff do not have to wear one. They do if they come out into the warehouse but for some reason in the office they are exempt. The excuse is they can't talk on the phone to customers with a mask on, which I think is total rubbish. Boss says they are maintaining social distancing in the office but they don't. When at thier desks they are 2m apart, but what about getting up to use the photo copier? They have to walk past each other and thats not 2m. Also should they not have plastic shields between each other?. Just like in a pub. you don't need a mask when seated, but get up for the toilet or go out for a fag, then its mask on. The office should be the same am I right here? We have a temperature reader on the wall, which everyone has to use when entering the building, But that don't work properly as according to the results we are all dead with hyperthermia, mine yesterday was 21.7. There is general concern that with 4 confirmed cases he should shut for 10 days but he has said that is not going to happen. Anyone shed some light on mask wearing in the office?

Yep he saw it coming.

Shame F1 will be gone in 10 years.

Pop down to your local B&Q and spend a good half an hour watching people trying to get their stupidly sized real Christmas tree into their cars. Its hilarious. Yes it will fit in your living room but its going to be a squeeze in that Toyota Yaris. One bloke who had me in stitches had a tree at least seven foot it was way taller than him. I watched him with tears rolling down my face as he wrestled with this tree trying every which way he could think of to get it into a Aston Marten convertible, he tried the boot first...no chance no room in their for a packet of fag papers. He tried the passenger seat, no chance had about 4 foot sticking out the window. He could have dropped the roof, been a bit chilly but at least he would have got it in. He gave up in the end and took it back in, came back out with a considerably smaller one which still put up a fight. I cannot believe these people. If your going to buy a small bit of Norways foliage borrow or hire a van. I used to have the same thing when I worked briefly for a furniture company, Why people didn’t bring a tape measure with them to the store and measure the sofa first, was beyond me. Yes it will look nice in your living room. But it won’t fit through your front door never mind the other doors on route . Only way to get that in is take your window out. Of course if they lived in a first floor or more flat that was a completely different problem. Can honestly say after the week I have had at work, that has cheered me up no end.

On Facebook there is a "company" selling what appears to be a Steampunk computer keyboard and mouse for the princely sum of £30 quid. Like this one, they are usually handmade and eyewateringly expensive to buy. The one advertised is almost identical but has two small gramophone horns for speakers. There is no way you would get this for £30 but judging by the posts the seller is coining it in. A few have posted SCAM DO NOT BUY but its not putting people off. This one on the proper site is up for £800. So I wonder what turns up in the post for £30??

It all started when they built the Olympic stadium, the "residents" where they wanted to build on where basically given council houses around here plus a substantial sum to move in theey used to turn up in coaches every weekend to view thier free homes, and it hasn't stopped. Any big development that requires people to move, this area seems to be first on the list. I know people on the council list who have been waiting 12 years for a property and they just get pushed to one side by the councils need to be charitable for these people who are being made homeless by lots of money changing hands for land. And I bet this council don't do too bad out of it neither.

Just been talking to him about that, he said they where all on a timer, set to switch off at 1am, all the lights where low voltage via one drop box inside the house so all they did was cut the wire as close to the house as they could. He has told the police and apparently they are sending someone round, they didn't say when but someone will call. Gave him a crime number and thats about that. He moved from Suffolk to here as his wife got a good paying job but dosn't drive. Big mistake, This place along time ago was a nice area, mainly OAP's but now as the OAP's obviously get less and less, the council use it as a dumping ground.

Too true nowadays, slap on the wrist and told to be a good person, get caught again it will be both wrists.

My new next-door neighbour spent a good couple of hours yesterday putting up his outside Christmas decorations. He had a light up snowman, two mesh wire reindeer. Loads of plastic candy canes pushed into the ground. and the ridiculous lights all over the front of the house, which if done well looks good.........his didn't when it was dark enough for the switch on. This morning I heard him over the fence telling his son that Santa probably didn't like the decorations as they were not Christmassy enough. This got my interest so had a look out the front, what was quite a festive scene yesterday was now a barren landscape, Wire mesh reindeer....gone, Plastic candy canes....gone. Light up Snowman gone. Lights in his two conifers....gone. I can understand him being unhappy as all the decorations appeared to be brand new, all came in plastic bags. Another example of the thieving scroats that live round here. We have these two what look like hedge balls hanging up either side of the porch, I took the precaution of using metal cable ties to secure them to the metal wall hooks. Unless they come armed with metal cutters they ain't getting them off. Do feel sorry for him next door, two young kids looking forward to christmas, he spends a good bit of money on decorations and they are gone in a day. ********!!!!

Watched the trailer on you tube and to be honest its a bit distracting, it just looks weird. However this led me to the new Tom and Jerry movie which is even worse. 1 You should NEVER see human faces in a Tom And Jerry cartoon. 2 Tom's scream in the film is just not funny enough, in the cartoons it was one of the best bits. 3 Seems very PC, watered down violence to the point of non existence. Will be swerving that as well.

Love Pickled eggs, got some in the cupboard at the moment with a hint of Reaper Chilies in the mix. But like said above 2 or 3 of them and about an hour later my farts have weapons grade applications, never mind social distancing and 2 meters apart. 500 yards is not far enough.

There are some pretty good hunting simulators not games available for consoles. The Boar and Deer hunting ones especially. Trophy Buck 3 on the Playstation 4 is very good.

I tried to get him into shooting/Country pursuits when he was younger, bought him an Air Rifle which he was over the moon with, all the Jack Pyke camo gear etc. He showed a great deal of promise. But I was no match for peer pressure in the playground from other kids. No other kids wanted to hear about lamping, and the latest fieldsports equipment, but the latest Xbox game or PlayStation game was far more popular. and he got left out and eventually bullied, which I promptly put a stop to. Teachers where useless. Threatening the bully's dad face to face is far more effective. So I gave up trying to force him into something he clearly wasn't interested in. Shame really but hey ho. He got a PlayStation and started playing and was soon "accepted" by the pack, he was a lot happier going to school. At the end of the day as a parent you want your kids to be happy, I don't agree with sitting infront of a screen all day in a virtual world, but my son was a happy kid again and thats all that matters.

One of the dog walkers I chat to over the manor where I walk the barker, carries a Jiff lemon squeezy with him, any dog that comes over to his whatever dog he has, scruffy looking thing resembling a drowned rat its called Frank, he just gives the offending dog a blast across the eyes. Apparently the dog is none too keen on this and runs off, works every time he says, unlike a baseball bat the plod can't nick you for it. Dealing with the dogs peed off owner, same story straight in the eyes. I think its defiantly something worth thinking about.
