  1. I had one great van bought it for £75 quid as it was leaking oil as fast as the bloke was putting it in got it home crawled underneath it and he had a hole in the sump were he had rode over the curb I stuck a self tapper with a tap washer in the hole and drove it for a few years got hit in it wrote off got 2k payout bought it back for a oner put a new wing on it and flogged it for £400 plus it ran sweet on veg oil that was 17p a litre at the time before the gov twigged so a nice little van and a nice little earner
  2. I have lock picks a battery grinder and bolt crops but you can bin the lot and for around £30 just get a lishi lock pick you can buy a set to cover all locks but the 5 pin model will open about 90% of locks you can also make a new key with the info from one
  3. I think they were worried about the big cock on his forehead going in the fryer and contaminating everything

  8. Sacrificial anodes mate shit attacks the anodes instead of the metal on your boat the anodes gradually disappear over 4/5 years here’s some old ones on the little boat we are building
  9. I had a few clubman’s , if you opened the window while driving thdy would draw exhaust fumes in through the back doors and choke you had the choice boil to death or choke to death lol

    Starmer

    The only person round here sniffing or smoking anything that’s affecting there mental health is yourself mate don’t know what you are trying to prove but your just making a total prick of yourself and it’s not pretty to watch go and get your bumps felt before it’s to late
  15. Gammon mash sweet corn and asparagus for tonight’s fare
  16. And there’s the shit on the bottom
  17. Bottom line is cream rises to the top and shit sinks mate
  18. Boat all pressure washed 8 new anodes on masked up and first coat of tar on
  19. Most canals are only a couple of feet deep and your boat basically runs along the bottom like being on a belt sander then there’s the rocks shopping trolleys pushbikes and everything else I’ve known boats sink from hitting things so if it can go through 6/10 mm steel a coat of paint has zero hope I have a 15 mm base plate on my beast which would take two lifetimes to wear out if it never got painted
  20. A lot of yards don’t bother with the base plate as it’s much thicker metal and just gets rubbed off as soon as you go onto a canal but I will put a couple of coats on between the beams if I can get to it
  21. Well back at stourport docking the big boat tight squeeze but she’s in then down to Bredon to get some plate on the other one the big boat will be pressure washed and have new anodes fitted today then we will start blacking the bottom in the morning
  22. Cracking canal fish that mate well done
  23. Nice little boozer will be back up during the week to black the boat then the return journey next weekend when it’s all done a 20lb river pike is quite an achievement mate still a milestone fish
