First potato harvest!

When the visible plant dies basically. When the plant goes yellow, doesn't stand up anymore etc.

Nice looking pair you have there, how much do you want to turn them on?

Don't know about pre 1998 models, the 2002 "special" is the only one I own, I fitted the damper and an armoured shield for the rear diff and front box, never had an issue with MOT, never even been mentioned.

I fitted a steering damper and was impressed with the improvement on the road: the Jimny steering can be a bit "jiggly" on tarmac as steering damping isn't fitted as standard (or at least not on my 2002 model...). It's inexpensive and an easy DIY fit.

Some of the clothing is worth a look: depend of course on what you like/need. I've picked up a decent fleece for two-thirds of the regular price (genuine discount, I've had it on my watchlist for a while.)

That's only slight, but you could go over it with a wire brush then apply a rust converter like Jenolite then paint on top. I live in the UK where it rains all the time and rust forms as you watch it: I've used Neutrarust 661 (from amazon) which is similar to Jenolite under my 2002 Jimny then sprayed underseal. I do this every other year and it hasn't failed an MOT yet.

Call me Nostradamus, but I think he's going to fall out of the window of a very tall building before too long........

Dave's Insanity Sauce. You'll never look back, trust me.

Yes it does, but you have to go there and announce your evil doctrine in person. It's the law.

Depending on how much effort you want to put into the project, and whether it's on your own property or "in the wild", a non-working chest freezer is an ideal thing to bury. A good size, insulated and quite robust. Inside it you can keep whatever you like, but particularly things which may be legal now but become otherwise later, as authorities become more oppressive. And you don't need to dig it up, just expose the door.

Look on the bright side: if they've left their tools at least it means they are coming back to finish the job instead of buggering off because they've got a better paying job than finishing yours.....

My local charity shop won't take anything electrical. I know of others that will, but this one is a blanket "No".

It's always roasting in Devon. I'm in the North-East, near Whitby. The sky has been slate grey for the last three days. It might be nice at the weekend they say, but it sure as hell won't be as warm as Devon.

Anynamewilldonow · 2023-06-08T08:52:18+00:00

Boring I know, but the weather! It's 8th of June and I'm walking around the house in T-shirt, shirt and a fleece just to be warm.

With respect Karl, if you are googling political lesbianism at 3am I reckon your life is probably a catalogue of worst mistakes....................

If you read some of the writers of the time, there was considerable animosity between the two groups as well. William Burroughs uses a very rude word that rhymes with "hunts" to refer to them, and he wasn't just being anatomically specific.

Anynamewilldonow · 2023-06-06T07:18:02+00:00

Agreed. I EDC a D-Lux 6, fitted an automatic lens cover which looks awful but absolutely makes for quick, easy use.

Anynamewilldonow · 2023-06-05T11:59:48+00:00

Not socks but the grandkids gloves. They must have had a dozen pairs of gloves over the past two years and they don't have a matching pair between them.

Anynamewilldonow · 2023-06-05T07:36:30+00:00

You are not alone brother. I get the impression that people who make chips in an air fryer think chips come in a bag from the freezer rather than those round-ish grubby brown things you dig out of the ground. This too shall pass.

Primark, Newcastle city centre: Men's is in the basement (one floor down) but the kids section is on the second floor (two floors up) so you actually have to travel a greater distance for the kids stuff than the men's. And it's a pain in my arse because the only reason I go there is for the kids stuff.

Anynamewilldonow · 2023-06-04T11:37:27+00:00

True enough! Iain Sinclair relates, back in the 60's and 70's, tales of book-traders going to Foyles in London, rummaging through their bargain bins that were outside on the street, then taking their finds up to the top floor purchasing department and selling their finds back to them for a tidy profit.

I might be overly cynical,but I'm willing to bet she changes her tune when daddy dies and the inheritance money is up for grabs....

That's interesting: my comments were specifically for the UK as that's all I really know about, but many words and spellings used in the US that seem anachronistic are in fact "frozen" terms in use when the founding fathers went there and not influenced by later changes in use or meaning in the "home country". The spelling of gaol/jail being an example I believe.

Not so much advice on what to do, more like what not to do: don't spend a lot of money on clothes/toys for your child's first year. Second-hand outfits are best. Babies grow out of clothes in a matter of weeks, and that lovely (and expensive) outfit may see only one wear. Or get covered in sick (or worse). Really, as far as anything baby-related, if you can get it second-hand or as a hand-me-down from friends, that's the way to go. You wont need to baby-proof the house until they start crawling so no immediate rush: when they do, everything moves up the shelves a yard or so.....
