nobananas Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Saturday, Tried to plaster my kitchen wall (again !) Completely lost my temper, threw toys out of pram and hurled hawk, plaster and trowel around kitchen. Stood outside a bit, fuming and muttering at plants. Apologised repeatedly to Mrs NB. Went back inside and attempted to finish the job. Sunday, Started to clean plaster off the new fridge, doors, cooker, window, all the other walls, my camera (don't ask), ceiling, living room carpet (it really does go a long way when you throw it hard !) and by now slightly ridgid pet cat ! Apologised repeatedly to Mrs NB Booked anger management classes and ordered 400 sheets of sandpaper for next weekend ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

not a Postman Pat Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Saturday - Silverstone. Free practice in morning. After practice, discover that ride height needs adjusting, so ask someone how to do that 😳. While adjusting left front, burn arm badly on the exhaust pipe 🙆🏻 ☹️. Visit medical centre, where kind nurse applies magic cooling gel . Qualifying in afternoon, 17th in first qualifying, 14th in second ☹️. Receive text message from Rach about toaster but don't leave Silverstone until 6.30 so too late ☹️. Return to hotel, have dinner with family. Fall asleep at 9.00pm 😳 😳 😳, pay for it by waking up at 01.00am 😳 😳 😳. Can't get back to sleep so draft text message to Rach apologising for my absence. Accidentally hit send button twice 😳, hope it doesn't wake anyone up! Finally get back to sleep at 04.00am. Sunday - Silverstone for racing. First race is a bit of a demolition derby. Roll call includes: - 7 missing rear wing - another 7 missing rear wing - 7 with front end wrecked - another 7 with front end wrecked and missing exhaust - another 7 with missing exhaust - 7 that hit wall at speed, driver winded, £6k of damage - 7 that rolled, driver with scraped knuckles but OK otherwise, 7 missing a few wings *eek* *eek* *eek* *eek* *eek* I manage to avoid any serious damage. Lots of slipstreaming and overtaking, I finish 7th , just pipped to 6th by 0.03 secs My best finish ever, hurrah 😬 😬 😬 😬 Second race is more controlled, a few spinners but no serious damage. I finish 10th , was 8th into final bend but fluffed it in the excitement, passed by 2 on the final straight 😳 All in all, very exciting. Oh, and this is the first weekend that I decided to video my races, so should make for some exciting viewing when the tapes are done 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 Sorry for the boring race report, but I had so much fun I wanted to share it with as many people as possible 😳 😳 😳 😬 😬 😬 Pat and his not quite black and white cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
