  1. I knew a bloke who worked for the council, they’d put all the old machinery and trucks into auction when they got replaced. There was a escort van that he wanted so he took out the front seats and filled the cylinders with engine oil. When people tried to start it, it was solid, even the fan etc was immovable. You just assumed it was seized up and practically worthless, the missing seats giving the air of something already being cannibalised for parts. So he went to the auction bought it for buttons, replaced the seats, removed the spark plugs and turned the engine over, removing the oil, hey presto! a few grands worth of van for next to nothing. Not saying that is what’s happened here, but it put me in mind of that story.
  2. Ok, new start. Give us more context pictures including the crown please.
  3. How I fell for jailed amputee surgeon Neil Hopper's sepsis lie BBC.COM Neil Hopper told me losing his legs had made him rethink his life - but all was not as it seemed. What an extraordinary story.

  16. Wordle 1,537 6/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟨🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟨🟨⬜⬜🟨 🟨🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟨🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I have become rather fond of carelessly wasting lines till 5 and 6 when I can smell the failure and knuckle down to pull it out of the bag. A fitting analogy of my life thus far, truth be told.

  24. Don’t leave anything (machinery) on the trailer. Put the chipper in the container. Get a lock on the hitch of the chipper. Maybe even a chain around the chassis of the chipper locked to the floor. Don’t get complacent, they’re like foxes round a chicken coop, get sloppy and within days it’s gone.
