Love super Kev

Those were the days eh?

All you needed to mess about with a car was a very limited toolkit, a “Haines Handbook”, a bit of common sense and a nearby Halfords or a scrap yard!

Then came “Reliability”, closely followed by “The Throwaway Economy” and then the era of “Specialist Tools” and “Let’s charge the earth to repair this car.”

Nowadays, a car mechanic needs something like a degree in computer sciences and it costs a fortune to set up a garage; so why do so many vehicles break down?


Moan over!

It all started with torx...

It all started with torx...

What got to me was the number of times only ONE of them was fitted …

… and I almost never had the correct size!

I remember a couple of Japanese tourists DEMANDING to see the monster after getting on the boat ride. The boat driver told them to get off..

Went to the footy this afternoon. Thought this picture summed up front row life. He came off absolutely exhausted and covered in blood. A different breed, props...

Oh. Went to the game yesterday too. Discovered the prop I took a picture of last week with his white shorts turned pink with blood (Morgan Mitchell) is profoundly deaf. Plays with a cochlear implant now. Previously he couldn't hear any calls on the field and had to rely on lip reading. The surgeon placed the implant a little deeper than normal so he could play rugby with headgear.
Massive respect...

It's mushroom season!

It's mushroom season!

If you confident about identifying the edible from the poisonous

 

[Erik The Anglophile]

If you can't confidently identify yellow chantarelles then maybe you have no bussines being out picking fungi, I agree.

You must be a happy sole then.
What I would call a FUNGI
Thought I would get it in before the Forum Jester- you know who I mean and so does he

There are very few actually poisonous fungi - 3 I think - but a few that'll give you a bad stomach.
If it looks like an ordinary mushroom but has white gills, don't touch it with a barge pole.

Love the roller skates

All mushrooms are edible...
Some are only edible once.
