Seems odd Chippy, that car makers all started using ethanol-resistant rubber seals etc at exactly the same time? Meanwhile, went I went to put some juice in the FJ yesterday, I had to pootle round the forecourt to find the one and only pump ( out of 12 ) to locate the one still labelled 'E5'...

About six months ago I bought a 2.0 tdci Mondeo. A week later the bloody dpf light came on. I bought some stuff that promised miracles, and it worked! Well, the light went off after about 50 miles, never to be seen again except for the usual ***** lights before starting the motor. Previous owner...

Crappy fuels, crappy electric cars.... anyone would think they're trying to get us offf the road.

'All Yamahas from1990 onwards are ok with E10'... so my 1988 FJ is stuck with the more expensive 'old' stuff. All these climate nuts have a lot to answer for. When the 'climate crisis' is fixed, there'd better be an official announcement saying so. Don't want to feel I've been ripped an' all that.

Last time I was on this forum, I exclusively did all-grain. Moving to a house which was not really suitable for that, saw me going back to kits... enhanced of course. Done loads in those nearly 3 years and can't say I've had a bad one tbh, but a recent John Bull Irish stout and Pilsner came out...

We don't use agency types anymore, firm decided enough was enough and set on enough full time staff to eliminate the need. I got the agency to stop sending bloody migrants just by uttering the words 'health and safety'. Hehe. Caused a right ol' furore that did. F*** 'em. I expect 90% of the...

Them motorbikes, they get right under your skin they do... me and the now missus waited 26 years before getting married. Nearly a year on and things are still perfect.

Our works used to be a revolving door for agency labourers, ie immigrants and those just out of nick. Christ, I either couldn't communicate with them on any level ( immigrants ) or genuinely, albeit only occasionally, felt in fear of my life if I put a foot wrong with the crims. A stop was put...

Watching internet ****.

Yum! Sounds great, but skip the wholemeal and Berocca bits. No jest, I had a 200g pack of pork scratchings about an hour ago and apart from 2x 1000mg vitamin C tablets last night, that's all I've had in 24 hours. Finished my night shift 8.5 hours ago at 6am today and I am absolutely bouncing off...

Moving from a home of 32 years. Others have come and gone, still miss that place. As for bikes, I've badly regretted parting with a few. I've learned from that so the best of all has now been in my hands for 17 years and I will never sell. It's a 1988 FJ12 in mint mechanical and cosmetic...

Exactly! Some folk go berserk trying to avoid carbs.... just feed 'em pork scratchings. Doc sez I've got to keep my carb intake below 90g a day due to type 2 diabetes. F*** that, I've got free Metformin for life hehe.

Years ago, I happened upon a radio programme where they had this dude on who reckoned he'd scoffed nowt but pork scratchings and was in perfect health! The nutritionist- type answering the questions on the show reckoned he might be telling the truth... pork scratchings apparently have a textbook...

I'm not normally bothered what folk eat or don't, but when an old pal of mine ( who used to be a fit, strapping guy but now looks gaunt and dishevelled ) came to my drum the other day, he said he'd stopped eating meat to 'save the planet and fight climate change'. W...T...F?!?! I didn't argue...

Me too. It's horrible, why anyone would want to bake in the glare of a controlled hydrogen bomb is beyond me. Roll on October. Mind you, cigs are great. It's 2019 and I can't be arsed to get washed, let alone use aftershave. Real men ( ie me ) smell of beer, tobacco, sweat, engine oil and...

Ours is keen on "moving the company forward" when he wants folk to do weekend overtime. How does "f*** off" sound?

These days, it seems that everyone on telly who is asked a question starts their reply with "So". Anyone else noticed that? It's getting right up my shonk, I can tell you.

Except sexual deviancy, religion, hardcore drug usage, snowflakes and Brexit. Bah... I feel excluded.

I work full time, 3 rotating shifts and there is nowhere enough time to do the stuff I have to do... and I kip for 3 hours max per 24. Fact.

Ye... doesn't matter who wins cos they'll both be finished soon.
