Hi Dave, It's Robsport ... numpty9 is Just his Ebay name. We all appreciate a spot on any Triumph bits though Tony.

This chart might help Paula. Tony.

I take it your not married Doug?? Or just very brave........... I still have the ringing in my ears Tony.

This will clean oiled up plugs Paula, but you need a compressor. New ones are cheaper https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gunson-77111-Spark-Plug-Cleaner-Carbon-Remover-All-Sizes-70-80-PSI-Air-Mix-Blast/401496595236?_trkparms=aid%3D555017%26algo%3DPL.CASSINI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D55149%26meid%3Dee48925ad6574fff9a65b0f5dd94f95d%26pid%3D101006%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26%26itm%3D401496595236&_trksid=p2045573.c101006.m3226 Tony.

Those bobbins look very similar to the ones used on Audi's. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Febi-Rubber-Mounting-Engine-Cover-23304-GENUINE-5-YEAR-WARRANTY/173504446517?epid=1413269134&hash=item2865abc035:g:0qkAAOSwLB9bVh2L:rk:19:pf:0 Tony.

Got to taste better than the frozen one that popped out.... Tony.

I dont think anyone will look at sprouts in the same way again after that post Tony

Yes if i have if i have a baked bean vindaloo before hand.......... Tony.

I like mine better

Look's like we are heading for another "drift" then........ Tony.

A good job it's no snowing then........... Tony.

I hope you read that review of Veet cream Pete.......................OUCH.

I hope they "buffed" up well...................

I'm sure you find some free "hot" air on here Colin

Tell me about it Pete........ I often forget what i have asked people.

Thanks Pete, I have a quantity of both from when i had my garage, so untill i get desperate i will continue using the non resistor Tony.

Hi Pete, could you refesh my memory banks and tell me why we should not use resistor plugs? I know we should'nt, but cant remember why? Thanks, Tony.

I understand that John...... But why not tell people before hand. If you buy off Ebay the postage listed is the price you pay no matter how it's sent!! That is why i think it is unethical. If you went to a petrol station and filled up, and then they charged you for the pump filling the car without telling you/ You would be a bit miffed. Tony.

Hi Colin, they have added vat to the delivery charge as well. Very unethical and one of the reasons i avoid Rimmers if i can. I know you have had problems with shipping to Ireland? But if you have a postcode?? It should not matter as RM will deliver at a standard UK price. Tony.

Hi Graham, Have you thought about using clips after using contact adhesive. They worked for me on a mk1 escort, and they are strong. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12-X-Large-51mm-Black-Steel-Foldback-Office-Clips-Paper-Document-Bulldog-Metal00/331943688893?_trkparms=aid%3D555017%26algo%3DPL.CASSINI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D55149%26meid%3D9606dc45d22f49d5996891db3e5cefcd%26pid%3D101006%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26%26itm%3D331943688893&_trksid=p2045573.c101006.m3226 Tony.

Talking of veet hair removal cream..... Has anyone seen this review? apparently on Amazon The review reads: ‘After having been told my danglies looked like an elderly Rastafarian I decided to take the plunge and buy some of this as previous shaving attempts had only been mildly successful and I nearly put my back out trying to reach the more difficult bits. ‘Being a bit of a romantic I thought I would do the deed on the missus’s birthday as a bit of a treat. ‘I ordered it well in advance and, working in the North Sea, I considered myself a bit above some of the characters writing the previous reviews and wrote them off as soft office types… ‘Oh my fellow sufferers how wrong I was. ‘I waited until the other half was tucked up in bed and after giving some vague hints about a special surprise I went down to the bathroom. Initially all went well and I applied the gel and stood waiting for something to happen. I didn’t have long to wait. ‘At first there was a gentle warmth which in a matter of seconds was replaced by an intense burning and a feeling I can only describe as like being given a barbed wire wedgie by two people intent on hitting the ceiling with my head. ‘Religion hadn’t featured much in my life until that night but I suddenly became willing to convert to any religion to stop the violent burning around the turd tunnel and what seemed like the destruction of the meat and two veg. ‘Struggling to not bite through my bottom lip I tried to wash the gel of in the sink and only succeeded in blocking the plughole with a mat of hair. ‘Through the haze of tears I struggled out of the bathroom across the hall into the kitchen. By this time walking was not really possible and I crawled the final yard to the fridge in the hope of some form of cold relief. ‘I yanked the freezer drawer out and found a tub of ice cream, tore the lid off and positioned it under me. The relief was fantastic but only temporary as it melted fairly quickly and the fiery stabbing soon returned. ‘Due to the shape of the ice cream tub I hadn’t managed to give the starfish any treatment and I groped around in the draw for something else as I was sure my vision was going to fail fairly soon. ‘I grabbed a bag of what I later found out was frozen sprouts and tore it open, trying to be quiet as I did so. I took a handful of them and tried in vain to clench some between the cheeks of my arse. ‘This was not doing the trick as some of the gel had found its way up the chutney channel and it felt like the space shuttle was running its engines behind me. ‘This was probably and hopefully the only time in my life I was going to wish there was a gay snowman in the kitchen which should give you some idea of the depths I was willing to sink to in order to ease the pain. ‘The only solution my pain-crazed mind could come up with was to gently ease one of the sprouts where no veg had gone before. ‘Unfortunately, alerted by the strange grunts coming from the kitchen the other half chose that moment to come and investigate and was greeted by the sight of me, arse in the air, strawberry ice cream dripping from my bell end pushing a sprout up my arse while muttering…’Ooooh, that feels good’. ‘Understandingly this was a shock to her and she let out a scream. As I hadn’t heard her come in it caused an involuntary spasm of shock in myself which resulted in the sprout being ejected at quite some speed in her direction. ‘I can understand that having a sprout farted against your leg at 11 at night in the kitchen probably wasn’t the special surprise she was expecting and having to explain to the kids the next day what the strange hollow in the ice cream was didn’t improve my status. ‘So to sum it up: Veet removes hair, dignity and self respect…’

Go on then Colin, i know you will tell us in the end

Reminds me of my Dad who once and only once mixed up his "pile cream" with "algepan" ....... The latter was moved to the shed. Tony.

Exactly the same spec Chris. It will probably be theirs anyway, just in a different package. Plus will save on postage Tony.

Talking of "Oh B****cks" moments.... I put old engine oil in an old "patio magic" can........The rest is history Tony.
