  1. It's all rosy in Clodland . I must say it's very odd how the planet is at the moment ,luckily my waters filtered but something is effecting the human race ! Warning to behave from outside the atmosphere ? Something very very hushed up about the climate or just WEF brown envelopes? Since COVID the planet has fallen apart Perhaps the 'great reset' is to overpower the ethnic population of Europe who don't like their ruling elite destroying their country and values and importing immigrants who don't give a crap and will happily vote in those that assist them coming to these lands of milk and honey! They will happily breed the ethics into a better colour that will make the left very happy until they realise reality
  2. Been fixing or in this case ****ing ! I need to know the name of a bit of metal that sprang out and disapeared over the fence .no amount of magnet fishing found it so I will have to describe it so I can buy a kit of them (seen them in the past but the name eludes me) It was approx 1 inch long it was a bit of thin tube slit all the way down its lenght so it acted like a spring keeping two bits of plastic together by gripping to a hole in them but had a hole (it was a tube) so it could pivot on a thin rod . Not a Chicago bolt much thinner for the life of me I cannot remember it's name
  3. OH dear it seems the EU is broke Von de layoff Is out with her begging bowl after 60 billion euros ,I can predict ask will change to demand and then (under the rule of law they use as a hammer) it will be mandatory . And I have no doubt they are desperate for labour to pay it just to get back in and increase our 'donations' so it doesn't happen again or Macron will send those Parisian immigrants until we do
  4. Think of poor clod who read it many times Or perhaps not as many of his revaluations never actually have anything pertaining to what he's trying to prove except in his head . I need more brexit let's do it properly this time ,well if there's an EU to leave
  5. He wouldn't know what facts were if they hit him on the head
  6. I went out looking for fish but found two tick nymphs instead .The river when I almost fell in it was low and so clear you could only just see it was water only the streamer weed moving gave it away. Owner of field cannot afford to get field cut as the price has doubled so it's head high across the field .I guess even red diesel is expensive (eh cod ?) I cant wait to see all these electric tractors one man band farmers cannot afford .I guess putting them out of business indirectly is better than the Netherlands way they simply fold because of the price of brand new versions instead of keeping their old fergies and internationals going hopefully such things are given a miss in the frenzy to obey the WEF
  7. 5 million plus since leaving office as PM ,his income is 85% of all MP income Boris is doing WELL Isn't life different once you get to the top ,even if you fall back down
  8. As has been mentioned since 2016
  9. Their only exports are ex pats coming home to enjoy a better life.you can't live on just cheap beer and fake cod
  10. With some things it's best Britain isn't top of the pile
  11. All back together (touch wood) replaced any rusty bolts with stainless the bolts are in well in the plastic under the carpet so sit in water in the winter . Did the left hand side last night until driven indoors by mozzies the right I started on at 5-30 this morning to avoid sunstroke .Who says bumble bees are disappearing ? There's hundreds in my poppies they should get up earlier to count. 3 deer wandered past, one stamped it's foot when it spotted me but are tame enough not to bolt on sight of me ,there's 4 or 5 that are local they generally kip under a branble covered bush in the day then generously scoff my roses at night. It's a nice bike to work on unlike these Chinese crap that fall apart and all the locating lugs snap off first time you try and get them apart and 90% of the bits available but at a cost ! No chance with Chinese scoots you might as well skip them if you crash them you can't get the panels. Biggest letdown is exhausts £300+ were not talking 12 foot long car exhausts here just an 18" box !gum gum will do with the leak
  12. A nightmare job ,put in new pipe (you have to remove several body panels in order to get to filter and fuel pump) put it all back together and started it an looked to see if there was leaks.No leaks but spotted a split pipe I had missed as it was so thin. Unfortunately that's on the other side so dismantling starts .Never had a reason to strip that side so bolts and screws rusted .One was completely rounded so the screwdriver couldn't get a grip Japanese steel isnt that great in everyday stuff and my 3 sets of removal bits didn't make a scratch on the heads . Bugger but I have a set of left hand thread cobalt drills and instantly it caught on the thing and unscrewed it and I was saved. The actual pipe now easy to see was just the drain pipe for the carb but replacing that uncovered a split in the carb bellows so more dismantling so rubber glue and self amalgamating tape fixed that and now am waiting for the sun to go down so I can put it back together.2007 piaggio so aged components expected Looked up the price of a new bellows but at 70-80 quid for a bit of rubber a joke so it will stay put
  13. If the pizza thaws out does the price rise or fall I was tempted by my mrs's pizza the other day BUT of course I wouldn't be able to say I had a bite in 1972 and didn't like it and have never tried one since so I avoided it.
  14. And you can't arrange it like you want! me I like minimalism it wants the opposite and continually bombards you with more. Who wants to see peoples tea as their highlight of their life
  15. You won't see me pushing a trolley round netto (what's a netto?) Different world for the elite ! Guy needs to grow up
  16. Daughter phones in a panic "bike tanks split petrol everywhere" P Phone diag starts " is the engine running ? " " No I turned it off incase it exploded" Me "Is it still leaking?" D " No" Me"That means it's probably not your tank " Me"Check to see if it's dripping at the right hand side" D "No" Me" Ok the hose at the pumps fine " Me "Look under the seat " D " It stinks of petrol ,wait there's a bit of pipe off the carb " (she's been taught a little over the years of dad mechanics on her bike) Me "Ok is there enough to push it on after you pull off the bit on the carb?" 5 minutes of puffing trying to get the clip off the stub of pipe on carb "ok it's on but I can't get the clip back on " Me "Ok can you get it here?" D " I was coming anyway and am about 2 miles away" Me "ok come over slowly it should be fine" Bike arrives diag starts. I was going to just put a new clamp on the pipe thinking the vibration had weakened the pipe where it plugs into the carb but strangely it snapped pulling if off the carb . The pipe is 3 years old she had it fitted as it was blue like here bike I fit a new filter on every year and it was only done 2 months ago and the pipe looks fine (and still does) but despite this it broke trying to pull it off the carb Decided to order new pipe but to be safe ordered the old fashioned rubber stuff ,it's arriving tomorrow so I spent the last couple of hours dismantling the bike (discovering the 'mechanic' that fitted her new tire didn't do up the axel nut tight enough and didn't fit a split pin and left a few screws out reassembling the body work But discovered the pipe had ballooned to 3 times it's diameter and only saved by the conduit it runs through stopping it popping it took a bit of effort getting it out. Now silicone should be fine BUT googling discovered it's weakened by ethanol and what's been put in petrol? Ethanol! So beware it's not so good as you think and there's no warnings out there it's sold as petrol pipe but as you can see it's not fit for purpose and could be deadly .And yes it is that size ! https://www.dropbox.com/s/v1ldljjmee6g6d0/20230607_202604.jpg?dl=0 And yes I am mystified by the choice of colour it's only visible for 3 inches each end but being handed 2 mtrs dad had no choice but to follow his daughters wishes
  17. "Weather" they are Chinese is unknown UFO is such a stupid term everyone sees them all the time they are not a rare occurrence ! If you don't know what a flying object is from insect upwards it's a UFO
  18. Is that clod in the picture ?,I will leave it up to you the being I am referring to
  19. I hope he doesn't buy his chicken here it's twice the price of Tesco and Tesco isn't the cheapest in my book .Perhaps Spain is using the brexit excuse to fleece the gullible ex pats into thinking it effects Spanish chickens I think the dagos won't be kicking out the ex pats it's the only frickin income Spain has in winter https://costashopanddrop.es/whole-chicken-price-per-kilo/ Clods idiotic example isn't faring much better https://www.indexmundi.com/commodities/?commodity=chicken&months=120&currency=inr
  20. Hopefully the bleached chicken deal goes through as well but perhaps restricted by Avian flu not so much by the chickens but the shortage of eggs containing males .I presume 99.9% of males are raised in "barns" and free range ones a rarity inflating their prices. It's so easy to manipulate stats (0r pricing) it's pointless using them in an argument I could pick a gold plated chicken and use that of a high priced chicken and say look at the cost of that and say 'chickens' were cheap last year insinuating they were all gold plated but not mentioning they were not. It's small brained gullible suckers who cannot see behind these lies that encourage them to keep doing it As for the Dutch farmers encourage them to get their money then encourage them to farm the hundreds of acres of useless weed filled fields our farmers cannot be arsed to use and import less
  21. Avian flu restricted birds to indoors so Free range eggs had a rarity value , wait till the UK ban farmers growing things in fields and watch the prices soar
  22. I like eggs at least we can get them ,not sure how the UK effected the USA though
  23. I'm here and waiting for disappointment on June 16th Looking after several types of tomatoes (the Mrs forgot to transfer the labels so no clue if they are for baskets or pots ) isn't newsworthy and the grass is to long for detecting only Clod could find something to post but we've heard that thousands of times ,something about.....
  24. Weird his grt grandson London lives just up the road
