There's a new van set up outside the village hall next to the putting green, they do a great bacon and egg roll
Yeah we went to the putting green one last time as the fish van was shut


Deep fried hamburger straight from the freezer .

Maybe you were unlucky mate .

Last summer i bought a huge portion of cod there and as per i soaked in vinegar.

Unbeknown to me as i sat eating it the vinegar was soaking into my jeans .

We then had to walk past all those people at the front with me looking like i had wet myself .

I know the feeling, I've been threatening to change the oil & filter on mine this weekend but this couch is stuck to my back & I cant get up I don't think I've got enough painkillers left to tackle the job, I cant get my prescription until Tuesday after the bank holiday.

Trouble is with the 260 getting at the air filter isn't straightforward, its buried behind the bumper, you can either use the gynecologist method via the wheel arch or take the bumper off.

Just read that the K&N conical air filter (as fitted in my 260) has huge cleaning intervals (up to 100k miles!) so that has suddenly gone hurtling down the list of priorities!

I'm planning a new set of plugs:
  1. once I get a sensible recommendation as to the best ones to use, everybody seems to have their own opinion!
  2. Still have to find them under all the plumbing and wiring!
