MOT failiure
My brother in law owns the garage that did my mot, Barry that works for him did the mot, I have known him longer than the brother in law, but i know they both are fair, if there was summat wrong it would not pass, because the brother in law picks up the car and takes it too work with him. so it sits there al day until he comes home again, and VOSA can walk in at anytime and pull it back in and check it , but VOSA are getting wise to this cheap MOT and unnecessary work scam , they ask if the garage does discount mot,s now

RD 400 E Frame colour
Gloss, general rule of thumb with RD,s is if it is made of steel it was gloss , alloy is semi gloss/satin whichever you want to call it , except for clocks and the cups they sit in

Was your day better than mine?
Went to quarry for first load , building stone for Dartmouth 2.5 hours away, waited 30 mins for the loading shovel to come, shout on CB Merv come to the office, went to office plan b load 20 mm chippings for StTudy do the building stone later, OK , gets to St Tudy, phones customer, yes you are in the right place but you cannot get a lorry up that lane, go back half a mile down farm lane turn left, turns left sees bloody great cowshit pumping pipe across lane 15 mins later contacts farmer he says just drive over it . OK gets to house just about possible to get through gate with a fag paper width to spare each side , can yuo spread some here some there, 2 hour job wastes 3.5 in the end, back to quarry to load building stone, had to pick out 6 tons by hand, now we are 3 hours behind , delivers the stone, driving hours are up to 4.5 45 minutes from yard, had to sit out a 45 minute break to get back, so much for an easy day Merv

Whats everyone up to this weekend?
A respected captain in the foreign legion was transferred to a remote desert outpost. On his orientation tour, he noticed a very old camel tied out behind the barracks. He asked the sergeant, "Why is a camel tied to the barracks?" The sergeant replied, "It's a long way from anywhere, and the men have natural sexual urges, so when they do, uh, we have the camel." "Well, I suppose if it's good for morale, then I guess it's all right with me." After he had been stationed at the fort for six long, lonely months, the captain simply couldn't control his sexual angst any longer. He barked to his sergeant, "Bring the camel into my tent." The sergeant shrugged his shoulders, looked at the other men, and led the camel into the captain's quarters. Within a few minutes, the captain emerged from his tent, fastening his trousers, almost beaming with pride. "Well, sergeant, I must say that animal's service is certainly worth its keep," he said with pride. The sergeant replied, "Well, actually, sir, usually the men just use it to ride into town."
