My wife and daughter found this hillareous (like me). However, they say the book is this voluminous because men are not so clever.... They could well have a point Bert

Well done Paul and Congratulations to you both  for next week, not too many of our friends have made it to 40 years we seem to be in the minority  I think Heather has put up with me as she will never refuse a challenge. Thanks Richard. Celebrations should have involved a trip to Vancouver Island, a cruise to Alaska and the Rocky Mountaineer. The plan now is a week in a self catering cottage. Paul, great plans you had there but it'll be a great break anyway wherever you go you'll both enjoy it to the full.

Bit of JB Weld.....jobs a good ‘un.
This reminds me a true story. YES! TRUE!
We had an “engineer” in the factory who did an oil change. He drained the sump by drilling a few 1/8” holes. Plugged them with pop rivets. Refilled with oil.

He's probably the chap that my brother bought a Mk2 Cortina Estate from in the 70's. I bought it from my brother. When the time came to change the front struts, both of them had bolt heads (no bolts) braised in place for 2 of the 3 bolts - leaving one bolt per side to hold the struts in place. The single bolt holding the o/s strut in place sheared the instant I touched it with a spanner.

Just read a fabulous Gary Delaney joke:
The tensest funeral I ever went to was of the guy who invented the jack-in-the-box.
