    Jokes???

    Twenty and four for me. Strictly an analogue house, didn't even get to go on that TV ping pong game! We walked to school at primary age too! Spent hours waiting for Dad after rugby matches at various clubs he played at, especially the home games. Helped out for free on fruit farm "for fun". Didn't dare answer back. Sung in church choir for the money.

  10. Just when a new Ranger is in sight, the cooling jacket on the EGR springs an internal leak! No visual clues but coolant was disappearing and it cut out a few times and had a dpf warning appear and not repeat itself! Parked it and using the other shed until new truck appears!
  11. Morning good folk. Mercy mission first, her car broke so she needs mine! Mar, Kits, Stool.

  18. Might have told this story but.... Back in the 80's, a Lebanese came over in the garden of a local vicarage. A deal was done and it was mine. I lived in an ex council terrace but planned eventually to get a bigger house. I took the usable lengths to the sawmill at Whatton Hall and Sid, Keith and myself discussed the butt's with Nog, the local carpenter. There was enough to get a decent sized table and church pew type seat so we set about the job and the Robinson Reciprocating Saw rumbled into life with the slapping of all the endless belts. The grain and smell were fantastic! The smell of Cedar and the purple through to orange and yellow pippy grain were excellent! The finished lengths of different sizes and widths were stacked to air dry in a lorry body to dry! The container was also workshop/store/bait room and always smelt good! Every year I used to empty the stock, turn or adjust the stack to get an even drying......Several years went buy and eventually I had a 24'x12' kitchen and I saved up Nog's fee. That summer, some b@stard set off some fireworks and one shot under the glassonite lorry body and burnt the lot to the ground!!! The old use of Cedar was in the manufacture of furniture - drawer bottoms especially, so that your knicker drawer smelt sweet!
  19. Awake too early again! Roc, Key, Rowed.
  20. Now sold! Next toy car to come soon!
  21. Prickly seed pod Sort of Pigeon Talk to your gods
  22. I'm in! Hope to see you soon Jase! Burr, Dove, Pray.
  23. Daily Telegraph quick crossword. First few answers across put together have another meaning. Caz and I do bits of crosswords in the pub of a Saturday afternoon with the Yorkshire Post with a couple of beers and I look at the Telegraph in the morning with a lid of tea!
  24. Lie in! Pinball, Whizz, Erred.
  25. She got up for work! At least she got the tea up! Bigger, Missed.
