Quiet Around Here

Dogs do.
Just taken Ernie for a walk round the fields and he has hated every minute.
Driving wind and rain.
When I went to take his collar and coat off he just turned his back on me and walked off.
I call him over and he snubed me.

Mine just stands there with a wtf expression on her face, 'if it blows me ears around i ain't going out'

Pilgrim, sounds wet wet wet, shame about the expensiveness of the jacket. I fear I would've had a credit card related accident in that situation :D

Do cats bear grudges :confused:

Yes they bear grudges til you open a tin of cat food, then all is forgotten. :thumbup:

Don't know what Pilgrim's moaning about, he's int Lakes, is my jealousy showing:rolleyes:

Fancied treating myself to a jacket with event fabric until I saw the price!!:mad:
Underside of the car should be nice and clean now after the drive back to the youth hostel - the roads are under water. I managed to get back... driving VERY slowly past a car that hadn't managed it. There's about 18" of water now so I'm not going anywhere soon. Jacket's busy soaking in the reproofing solution and I'm off to the pub once it's finished.:D

Bloody hell that sounds like a great day :thumbup: Wish I was there :w00t:

Probably a french car that conked out? They put the air intakes too low so the engine sucks water in and becomes hydraulically locked, if the revs were high enough the con rods may be bent. No such problems for Volvo 240 owners, the intake is a metre off the floor and backward facing which is very sensible and swedish, that car is just indestructable. :cool:

Now when I was a lad it used to be just a damp distributor and you dried it out and went on your way and if the problem was anything else you fixed with a bit of bent wire

Back again; suitably refreshed.:) Rain's stopped now so hopefully the cloud cover will lift sooner rather than later. Choice of Ani Waltz (joining at Dalehead) or another crack at Borrowdale depending on the weather.

TFI Friday :thumbup:

Wooohoooo! Looks like we need something stronger than tea or coffee to celebrate :thumbup:

And I've got just the thing... a bottle of Haystacks in front of me (and a couple of bottles of mulled wine plus a couple more beers in the boot of my car). Just the thing having decided to time myself out at Honister (5:50). Was lucky enough to get a lift back to the youth hostel too!:D
