ewenm Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Walked over to the 7 this morning and casually put my hand on the headlight as I wandered round the front of the car. IT CAME OFF IN MY HAND Waaaaaaaaaaah not good. I guess that rust was worse than I thought - 70,000 miles of outdoor life obviously has some effect on a car Fortunately didn't need to drive to work, so walked instead. Double fortunately, Millwood have some headlights in stock so I can drive up there tomorrow (with a heavily gaffer taped headlight) and collect replacements. I think I need to check again just how rusty the chassis is and get the POR-15 on before winter really sets in 😳 Yours in pieces, Ewen 70407 miles and counting...

c21vhpd Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Rach, did you mean: "How could anyone forget that Craig" or "How could anyone forget that, Craig" I prefer the first one 😬 Home of the Caterham Nippy Truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewenm Posted October 3, 2003 Author Share Posted October 3, 2003 I'd assume Rach could type ( ) and therefore meant the first one 70407 miles and counting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c21vhpd Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Ewen, I have a feeling that we are walking on thin ice. I've implied that Rach doesn't know how to use the vocative case in English, and you've implied that she can't type. What was that? Who's out there?

Rachael Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Craig, I can't at the moment, I am not allowed out at lunch time today ☹️ how you feeling now? I have to drop my friend off this evening but can pop in on my way home if there is anything you need. Anyway if you are ill then you shouldn't be eating chocolate 😬 Rach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c21vhpd Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Still poorly bad, but better than at this time yesterday. Why can't poorly people eat chocolate ? Does it interact with medicinal (hic) whisky in some way that I'm going to regret later on? Home of the Caterham Nippy Truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Oh dear ☹️ I don't think it will speed up your recovery very much - however, crisps have brilliant healing properties 😬 Make sure you drink plenty of orange juice and water Rach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c21vhpd Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Yes, mum. I'll have to go to Tesco's though to get the orange juice.

c21vhpd Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Badger Bill, Badger Beer is amongst the finest ever! I don't think they make it from Badgers, although it is hard to imagine that something so fine could be made without badgers being involved somewhere (perhaps the head Brewer is a badger? Tesco's stock a few varieties, but I don't know about anywhere else. The beers (sadly only a virtual representation of them ☹️ are here Oooooooohhhhhhh - you can buy them on-line WHERE IS MY CREDIT CARD?
