  • Heatwave + VW’s

    Hot. Hot. Hot. – 3 words that describe what the weathers like! 🙂 Everyone is complaining about how unbearably hot it is, but to be fair its alright. Its just the humidity thats a killer. I think about everyone in our office has got an aircon unit within a few meters of them – except of course me. So while they moan about how hot it is, i get to feel the heat and suffocate as well.

    Scott came up to my caddy last night, he took my tank off for me, and the spare wheel well housing, so that i can wire brush the underside of my caddy and paint it. I couldnt belive that a 1989 Vw Caddy Pickup would be in such brilliant condition underneath! Its pretty much rust free bar about 5 small patches. Ill get that sorted, get my ehaust fitted and then fit a new fuel tank, that im gonna have to buy. In fact im gonna make a list of stuff i need so far for caddy.

    1. New Fuel Tank < expensive!
    2. Rear Sliding Window < expensive!
    3. Electric Fuel Pump
    4. New Piping from tank to engine, and back
    5. New Fuel Filter

    Then i think im sorted! Well, thats stage one anyway – stage 2,3, and 4 may never happen. I guess it all depends on money. Im finally glad to of got some motivation to do work on the cad, im at a stage now where i can go down and spend a few hours on it – whereas before i was wating for shit to be done.

    Nothings stopping me now except this clio. I need to sell it to fund the new parts for cad. I need cad MOT’d n wokring so i can transfer plate across to it, and cad wont be MOT’d and working until i have the new parts – cant get parts till clio is sold, cant sel clio till plate is off it…! Catch 22!

  • Gotham

    I saw that stu had visited a plce called gotham, so when i was on my way home from work on saturday and saw a sign for it, i HAD to stop and get a photo, and there was a place called T’ollerton on the same sign! Hahaha..

    I went to thoresby hall with helen for a wander about on the sunday, and saw some cool statues and lots of very neat gardening! I think the place used to be a hall belonging to some lord, but i also belive it was home to some monks at one time too, as there were plaques up showing the3 areas in which the monks were allowed to talk.

    Imagine inheriting an “Estate” from your father tho.. Lord Oliver.. Hmm 🙂

  • Difficult

    As i publish a lot of my thoughts on the internet, and due to my position on the websites im affiliated with, i sometimes cause a bit of stress or a few problems for myself or people close to me. Its hard because i have to be a bastard sometimes, and tell people straight and sometimes thats not what they want to hear – and so get offended. They have to see the bigger picture and see that i have a respncibility to do my job, and in the desictiption of my job in big bold letters at the top of the page it says

    “Warning – Doing your job may sometimes offend people, but this is always neccessary for the continuation of peace throughout the galactic empire”

    I dont like faling out with people, and only tend to do so properly when someone had deeply offended me, or if they slapped my mother or something (thats never happened by the way – purely an example). But sometimes i do fall out with people i dont want to, and a lot of the time it is down to something very stupid, and also the fact they dont like baing moderated. But they see it all in the wrong perspective, and take it personally. Luckily these situations sort themselves out pretty quickly, before they cause too much damage. Most of the time..

    Woh, i just rambled on two paragrahs of complete bollocks.. No wait.. its 103 posts of complete bollocks isnt it?! 🙂
