[The Simps]

So when is it up for sale?

[Jimbo]

When I die!!!

[The Simps]

That could be very soon! (mwhahahaha!!!)

You better give me your wife's phone number. I assume she'd be handling your affairs?

[Jimbo]

Just tell the wife how much you reckon I've spent. I reckon death for me would be instantaineous! Then nip yourself round me unit and Bob's yer uncle etc etc....

[The Simps]

All to easy.... lmao

[The Simps]

I was bored today and had one of my usual thought processes of what I'd do if I won the lottery. I'd basically build my own workshop and do to my nova what you've done to yours. Then I thought hang on a minute, I'm a millionaire, I'll just buy his or pay someone to do ya and nick it! lmao

[Jimbo]

Just pay me to do yours..... You would be less likley to end up being some ones "poke-on-a-rope" on the inside...

[ashtal]

I dont the same mate. Seam welded the tunnel cover panel ! I got to cut it off tomorrow. Cant wait !

[Jimbo]

At least I'm not the only donkey on here then!

[Gordon Livsey]

thats awsome, that will be worth its weight in gold once its finished

[Barnes]

ive heard a rumour you have a new grinder. any more updates?

[CraigGreen]

More cracking work...

RIP to the grinder!

[scott61985]

what a project

[Jimbo]

Yes I've bought a bigger and better grinder with vari-speed!! It doubles as a polisher .I also bought myself a bench grinder with a bendy light and wait for it ...............................polishing kit Wooo and an hour of fecking about at me mate Daley's house with some B&Q railings and some old kitchen units and a sexy stand has been made (Nice one Mr Dale) piccies to follow... Need a cheap supply of nitro-morse (sp?) Seen the price of it! Till next time kids..........

[Jimbo]

Well I've not done alot on me car because I was fooking about doing a bit of this....clicky on me solider boy and whilst I was looking for some stuff to polish I got thinking. I've spent a bob or two on random bits and bobs over the years. Where the smeg is it all?? I asked the wife she says "I put it under the stairs" WTF!!

I should point out that some of it is like hard to come by and cost me. This is why I think in this country you should still be aloud to smack your bitch up as they can and often are stupid So I asked why she'd threw it all in there to which she says "It's a spare room not a garage anyway I'm decorating it for Cassie (baby girl) she needs more space" FFS the kids like 2' tall if your lucky and sleeps in a cot woman! How much fecking space does a two year old need?

So I rescued it all today and was surprised what I forgot I had! Twas like an Xmas morn......

Dizzylessthingymajig..
