I always thought that, in the film script, the purpose of Harry Lime's ill-informed and nonsensical speech about the cuckoo clock was to demonstrate what a bloody fool the Lime character was.
another day another interview though on a plus point they had 80 applications I was one of five who've got to interview stage now I'm off out on the piss with me old work colleagues -expect random ramblings later
Mrs Mervyn informs me that one of the under kitchen cabinet fluorescent lights has gone.Not a problem I reply,we have a spare tube in the understairs cupboard.She has a quick look and tells me it's not there and is probably in the loft.No it's not in the loft.I then go into the garage-no not there.At this stage I am beginning to doubt my sanity and whether we do have a spare tube. Bugger it,I will order up some spare tubes,they will always come in use for the future. Tell Mrs Mervyn I have ordered the tubes and she says to me.'when they come I will put them in the loft,just inside the trapdoor '.I reply that I think that is a wacky idea,just put them in the understairs cupboard.I am now told 'they will get damaged if stored in the cupboard'.Now for the crunchline-I tell her that as the tubes come in a stout cardboard tube they won't get damaged.Mrs Mervyns jaw drops,and if by majic,she retrieves a cardboard tube from the cupboard.............doh. Pretty much a typical day for us.
WFH so in between admin, sales calls, chase calls, weekly updates and the other usual friday stuff, every 45 mins I've been ducking in the garage to add a coat of lacquer. Emptied and can and a half on the stuff. Now just to leave it alone for a bit...and feeling a bit sick from the fumes bleugh
Got rid of the kids. Just put a massive Indian away. In the cinema waiting for jack Ryan to start. Hopefully kiera knightley and her chin/pout won't ruin it.
Meetings at work interspersed with trying to sort insurance, posted number plate docs to Snells, squash lesson at 1630, Indian takeaway. Living in bed thinking about sleep, but on duty with SERV Wessex so half expecting a call to collect/deliver some blood or samples. Seven more sleeps till I can collect the new bike Nite !
Not sure...they weren't there when I got home from work.... Jack Ryan: OK, but KN can't pull off an American accent for shit. Not in the same ball park as hunt for red October....
I have. And it bubbled loads of the paint! Thinking it wasn't fully dry after 2 days...tbh the pictures don't do it justice lol the one main pisser which will be noticeable in pics I fear is the bellypan has taken a different red. I used a filler primer, which was beige, where on the rest I used grey or white primer. And it has made the red come out slightly burgundy. But...I need to get back on track so it will do for now, likely it will need repairing quick enough anyway so I'll sort it then ;-) But cost (apart from time) has been 5 cans of plasiticote at 5.99 (full white, half red left), 2 build primer about £20, 1 large primer 7.99, about a tenner on assorted sanding stuff, another tenner on some repair filler and f'glass (body filler hardly used), £1.99 on trim tape and a £18.74 halogen heater which will now be used in my van. All in around a ton. Not too bad.
