It’s more where my palm meets my wrist it’s painful, the wrist is fair good.
-
Not good fella, thanks for asking though. I can’t sleep with the pain of it, the doctor prescribe me some other painkillers but they aren’t worth a wank, so I went to get a pot which does numb the pain but it’s so strong now, it wipes me out.
-
Firstly, thank you for your kind wishes, secondly this post only just appeared. It’s not stopped me driving but I haven’t seen moved much, I’m up in Shropshire, been in the same lay-by for best part of the week, Gavers came yesterday, just a welfare check!?

It’s a fair point, £80 for a MOT puts £500-£1000 on an old van, might not sound a lot, but 2 or three a month… naively I thought those days were over.

Years ago, when things were all paper and you got a producer if you got pulled I could buy MOT’s for £10-20, recently I’ve been buying and selling a few vans, taken one in today for a MOT, 45 quid if I want a proper MOT or £80 no questions asked. Wonder how many vans are out there with a full ticket on them that haven’t even been to the MOT station?

Yes, but when I’m trying to listen to the bells peeling bah bah black sheep and some little wench in a hi viz vest is out clapping the church bells it’s time for a vent! You

K’in right!, similar breed to cyclists

Do marshals/spectators have to clap every time a runner runs past? Surely those running know the people at the side of the road are in support/admiration of them without being clapped at? Go on a jolly to Shropshire to listen to my mate bell ringing, (leave it Bolam) and there’s an half marathon going through the village, I came for the sound of church bells, not bleeding teenage marshals with redraw palms!

Only over the counter stuff at the moment, don’t like taking them, they upset my guts. My mate had a hip replacement recently and he’s dropped some of his painkillers off along with half a morphine patch but I’m holding back until I see my quack in the morning.
-
It’s not good, back to the hozzy today, that plaster wasn’t cutting the mustard. They’ve cut the cast off and replaced it with a splint. appointment next week at another hospital at the trauma & orthopaedics clinic, I’m fairly good with pain but this is another level.
-
Tripped over last night leaving my mates house, wouldn’t mind but I hadn’t had a drink because I was driving back, five hours up the hospital, one wrist in plaster and a cracking black eye from face planting my self.
-
… smashed up face, going free if anyone is interested.

Keep it sunshine.

Went for a table top dewalt in the end, good bit of kit
-
Makes I should be looking at? Don’t mind paying for a decent one that I can move on once I’ve finished with it, no room to store atm. It’s to be used building a camper so doesn’t need to take massive timber.
-
Don’t bother, took our kids golf clubs out to him that I had scrubed clean, cost me $180 at Melbourne airport to get them through, that was many years back. You

Long day, train from Suffolk to London, tube across London and another train up to Stoke to get my camper. Stoke will be like church for me from now on, only go for christenings, weddings and funeral.

Wound the jacks down about an hour ago… sigh of relief…

The yard I’ve been renting was coming to an end at the end of this month so I had to get out, few phone calls and there’s some work Essex/Kent. Although I’m a Stokie through n through it’s a shitehole, had no trouble but glad to see the back of it. East Anglia is where I feel settled.

Rig pulled together, over towing capacity but it is a Sunday, fingers crossed! You

Late one night, a burglar broke into a house he thought was empty. He tiptoed through the living room but suddenly he froze in his tracks when he heard a loud voice say: "Jesus is watching you!" Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward again. "Jesus is watching you," the voice boomed again. The burglar stopped dead again. He was frightened. Frantically, he looked all around. In a dark corner, he spotted a bird cage and in the cage was a parrot. He asked the parrot: "Was that you who said Jesus is watching me?" "Yes", said the parrot. The burglar breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the parrot: "What's your name?" "Moses," said the bird. "That's a dumb name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. "What idiot named you Moses?" The parrot said, "The same idiot who named the Rottweiler Jesus."

What a croc, the lass I’m kicking about with is an insurance broker, with her company, and many other insurance companies there is a 10-15% uplift for sign written vans. As for magnetic signs being for pikeys I don’t think I’ve ever read such nonsense, I can’t remember the last time I saw a traveller with magnetic signs, and I mix with quite a few. Some of us don’t have any option, well, we do but I wouldn’t get the subby work I get if my van was sign written.

When did you get him/her?

Picked up a Peugeot Bipper this afternoon, 09 plate 75k on the clock, timing belt done 4k miles ago, full service history. I’m going to put a new clutch in it on Monday, it will come with 12 months ticket. £1750-£2k depending on what it needs, if anything, when it goes in for the MOT.
