Apparently there's a recession.

We don't heal as well once we've passed the half-century, you know.
Wall-launching is for yoofs.

I took considerable precautions to avoid that sort of regret.

 

You've got it in one.

I used my normal technique of putting both hands on top of the wall
and launching myself upwards but unfortunately slipped as I landed on
the top and went straight over and onto the circuit landing right on
my elbow.

 

Ha. 10/10 for panache.

 

Do you ever manage to go on hols without injuring yourself?!?

 

Of course I do. Sometimes.

 

Get it from someone who supplies "House of Kolor" paints. I've just painted
a Gibson Explorer in candy red with added sparkley flakes. Looks fucking
gash, but that's just my opinion.

They've been absolutely brilliant with the kits I've ordered off them
(multiple times). Not a single hiccup. Must be having a bad hair day or
summat.

If it's a candy, then a code might be like tracking down Bigfoot, because
the colour changes with every coat applied. You'd probably do yourself no
harm in going to a paint supplier with an example (tank, or a panel) and see
if they can match it with either their colour maps or one of those (shitty)
electronic bullshit meters. Then get them to make up a quantity or check out
the ebay for aerosols in the colour you need. My guessing though is that
nothing short of a full hit will get it looking like new again.

Depending on how much of what colour you need, there's always people like

I'd ask for a picture to be posted somewhere, but the colours never stack up
against the real thing.

 

Heh

It's like when you come home and there's no-one in so you make a brew. As
soon as the fucking kettle boils, someone turns into the drive, or knocks on
the fucking door. Bastards.

 

I've long ago discovered that, if you're waiting for someone to arrive
and they're late, the way to get them to turn up instantly is to put the
kettle on.

There's a sort of sub-clause which says that if you open a bottle of
ale, WUN will magically materialise.

 

It's much the same as if you've been waiting for your meal to be
served in a pub/restaurant and you nip off for a smoke the food
magically appears.

 

<leaves open bottle of ale on driveway>

 

I was going to say the same. It's not unknown for me to light one up,
even though I don't really smoke these days, just to get the food to
arrive.

 

don't you mean, "don't buy fags nowadays but if Jude leaves half a
packet lying around.."

 

Yerss, something like that. But IIRC there were only three left in the
packet, so that's about 1 per bottle of wine, which isn't too bad a
ratio.

 

Like putting on the handbrake at traffic lights in a car, or knocking it
into neutral on a bike.

 

<G>

Yup. Changes the lights every time.

****. I'm crap. Sorry mate, I shall get to it forthwith.

 

Heh, no rush.

 

Just had a reply from Wyldes - "The flowliner Tank Sealant has been
taken off the website due to the ethanol in the fuels."

Which is quite interesting. I did find a few horror stories about
Flowliner cracking & lifting, but not a single complaint about POR-15,
so I think I'm quite glad I went with the latter now.
