Rumpole Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 scooby pack it in RMF 1 It is not easy painting the barge boards on the front of the house when you are vertically challenged RMF 2 The job is made more difficult by your ladder not being tall enough RMF 3 When hanging monkey like from the bathroom window it helps greatly being ambidextrous and therefore able to paint with your left hand whilst clinging to the window frame with your right. RMF 4 Thank feck thats done for another ten years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Car saga is just about over - we have agreed to buy the escort in return the garage is going to wax oil it sealed underneath to ensure it doesn't rust and they have offered to store our old one so we can canabilise it for parts as and when needed, it's got 11 months MOT & 6 months tax so it would be daft to pass it up.

Jacobean Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) Mel that sounds like a nightmare. Glad it's all done. Scoobs has got it in for my poor feet today. Has been attacking my socks which happen to have my tootsies inside them which are being bitten and pawed at. I'm going to take them to the safety of the garden. Jazz Scruffy sounds a real sweetie. Thanks for all you're doing for her. Have been listening to lots of Kasabian and fave one for today is Take Aim.

owl Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Nice pics Ms Merle. Dawn here was less interesting today. Snow, that sounds like a very good deal. Is it an Escort Flight estate you are having, like mine? I like mine a lot but you have to keep an eye on the water pump as they don't last forever. It was a bit exciting on our mountain walk this morning. A few of us (4 humans and 7 dogs) had arrived and started to plod/sprint/boing/wrestle our way along a muddy path when suddenly a police car raced towards us. We thought it would park next to our cars but it didn't, it raced across the grass and shot up a very steep limestone pavement on the mountainside which we only walk up when we are feeling extra fit. I should have thought to take a pic but I only thought of recalling Wispa before she saw it and gave chase. Luckily we had a new dog on the walk and she only had eyes for him, the tart. We headed the other way so had no idea what happened, but imagine it was loonies in 4wds driving up and down the mountain and churning up the paths. I hope they were caught as we are fed up of them. They treat the mountain like a race track and have a whizz round endangering anyone on foot as well as their own silly necks and then whizz off back to the main road before the police arrive. This means they hurtle back along a narrow single track and risk a head-on with anyone coming up to the parking place. There was a cop the other day sitting in an unmarked car, so it looks like they really want to stop them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Snow, that sounds like a very good deal. Is it an Escort Flight estate you are having, like mine? I like mine a lot but you have to keep an eye on the water pump as they don't last forever. It's the Escort Finesse I think - ours is the 1.6 LX the new one is a 1.6 V some subtle differences in that this one has a spoiler thing over the boot hatch and a fancier rear brake light set up on the back window, the seats are a bit more contoured and the drivers seat actually tilts as well as reclining and the dials and instruments are a white background rather than a black background. It's a nice blue colour like this one: It's R reg so it's getting on a bit (like me lol) bit scuffed in places but we'll swap out the carpets and keep our boot cover and maybe change over some of the plastic bits or just try a bit of back to black - it looks OK but looks weren't much of a factor tbh I was more concerned about the underneath and the cam belt as we'd only done ours 12 months ago so thats a cost I don't want to have again in a hurry and of course ours has failed the MOT due to severe rust on the chassis. The chassis on this one is sound and will now be wax oil sealed so that'll help, the sills which went on ours and we'd had done last year have already been done on this new one so thats good, she has 4 brand spanking new deep tread tyres on her and she drives almost exactly the same as our current one. Maybe she was a wee bit over priced at £500 but then again she's been vouched for by our mechanic and he's already said he'll take it back if we change our mind in a couple of weeks, 11 months MOT and 6 months tax and we get to store our old one free rather than scrapping it so we can take parts off it if they are ever needed. Would have been daft to pass it up really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Evening. Got a new tutor for the Legal Aspects course, one I'd not seen before. Coincidentally enough he wrote the course book which we are using and is apparently one of the foremoast contract law boffins in the country. I am very interested in contract law so am enjoying the course but he treats us like schoolkids I am knackered now, just one more day to get through and then I get a day off, whoop whoop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
