Tell me about it Vince. I could probably do the shocks but the cheapest I can get them is 250 Plus vat. It would take me most of a day to do them so paying the extra 70 euro is probably worth it. The timing belt, I wouldn't have a clue about and would be hostage to fortune on that one. . Anyway, not my problem anymore

Blimey, cant remember last time I ever bought them. Cambelts about £35.

Trish says she can get a belt for Cam for a fiver...

Fat people have to have quality belts though, £15. The quality of my clothing ends there however........

I would belt Cam for a pint Trish.

Just a note...you know a cam shaft with the offset bits to lift the pistons...well my name in Gaelic is Cam Beul or "crooked mouth" (of a river, so don't start!). Point being the "cam" part is crooked. just like a cam-shaft. Interesting innit? No, it's not really I suppose...I'm bored.

Too late then, forget that pint Trish, crooked mouth already got belted.

Your thinking of the crankshaft that lifts the pistons, With the con rods connecting them, Con being short for connecting ,A camshaft opens the valves either with a push rod (Old school) under the camshaft, Or overhead camshaft, first with a cam follower and secondly a rocker arm or shaft, Can be variable too ie honda, A cambelt is used to join the crank and cam together in a certain order, Loose that order and it becomes expensive,

Not very mechanical me, I just know it's a weird shape and lifts things when it goes round...

I prefer Stilton.

Bet ive been in a dozen tile shops, How many colours is there , Stan the tiler will love us, Got Mexican tiles, not a straight edge to be seen, Middle bathroom next, , I'l wait a bit to get over this job, Saw a steam cabinet with seats and music in it . Great for doing the veg in

There ye go talking in feckin code again!!

Today I have had my first beer for seven days. Yes, it is a record. Not come close in 20 years. Jeez its hard on Struggle Street.

Fair play Vince. Why did you not drink in the last week??

Zero pennies mate, the clue was there..........But f..k it, proved I'm no alchy then........?

Do the ole Liver good Vince.

Hey up, Liver birds, remember them? You would have been about 4 at the time

Nah bit older great they were. Pauline Collins and Nerys Hughs, same time as Likely Lads too, James Bolam and Rodney Bewes.
First written by Carla Lane and the second by Ian la Franais, sorry don't remember it Vince.

Kids........Proper tele it was, only 4 channels, if that, finished at 11.30.

Only just 3 channels then Vince, bbc2 was the newbie.

Went to a new store that opened in Dunfermline called B&M and bought Mermaid a brand new ironing board! (I spoil that girl...). BT gave us a £5 voucher for Sainsbugs for being great workers and upping their profits to umpteen billion (so that's fair then...). Mermaid bought a wee ashet dish thingy for making lasagne in (she likes lasagne). My parker pen cartridge had run out so I bought a twin pack of refills, went to change them in the car and got ink all over me feckin' hand from the old one! Went to a wee pub called the Balgeddie Toll tavern for a meal and I had Prawn marie-rose with scampi platter and chips. Mermaid had lasagne, but it was a wee bit tepid in the middle...she didn't say anything though. I was sat 3 feet from an open gas fire behind me (looked like a real log one, nice it was), nearly burnt me arse off, girl had to turn it down 6 notches to "furnace" setting...back home now.

Wow, What a great day out, Might give myself a voucher for next weekend, Vouchers are the future for sure,

If and only if, as I really can't believe it, Mermaid didn't tell anyone about her Lasagne, how do you know?
