  1. Says the creator of the Lemsip & wank way to relax.
  2. I'm stuck in a hotel 130 miles away from my other half. Looks like it's a Spam sandwich and a wank for me.... ... If only I had some Spam... ... and bread. Arse
  3. Really chuffed to hear that, dude. Here's to the future.
  4. I thought shingles were what Sean Connery likesh on his Shuprash.
  5. Ooh, that's quite interesting, cheers. Just found this and it amused me ZpK8FxC0QCQ
  6. Liverpool lads, Bludvera have a 7-track EP out on Bandcamp for £3 (it's worth at least a fiver, all money is going towards getting proper CD's pressed). Should also be out on iTunes and Amozon very soon. Quite raw and Teutonic-feeling with some good solid riffs. If you like early Kreator, Destruction, Re-Animator, you should give this a go. 'Reanimate' & 'Terrorform' are killer tracks. hsvzLJTRG0U http://www.facebook.com/Bludvera/app_204974879526524
  7. Can you send me an address for me to post the edfc to and i'll get it done when i am home tomorrow. Cheers.
  8. 2 parts of the country I would avoid like the plague when buying cars - Keighly/Bradford & High Wycambe. Have a search through the classifieds on here, speak to Jurgen at JM Imports and post up any links to ads you find elsewhere to see if anyone here knows the car. Take your time, read all the guides on here and you'll find a Supra to suit you eventually.
  9. Yeah, control unit, 4 motors & loom to adjust damping rates on Tein suspension. [edit] I can also let you have the Jeff Dahmer of goldfish, too
  10. I can throw in an unused, boxed TEIN EDFC. Never got round to fitting it. I'll have to have a root about in the attic on Friday to find it first. £2-3 a ticket sounds good, I'd be up for a few. Well done with all the offers guys.
  11. I dread to think what you do with a fish called 'Mr. Suckie', Ed, lol.
  12. Bad photos, but: Mr. Pib (the victim) Umlaut (the bully)
  13. Cheers dude. They are different breeds of goldfish, but I was fairly sure it was mating behaviour. The smaller new fish constantly swimming up against the older fishes vent or rubbing side by side. I tried to look for white spots on it's gill as a sign of it being a male and think it might have, but it's hard to say as it's more silver than gold on it's sides. The problem was it was just not leaving Mr. Pib alone at all, everytime it went for food, the younger fish would barge it out of the way. Now with the tail damage, I don't want to put it back. I did think about trying to get another younger female for it to harrass instead, but no idea how easy that would be, or if it would work.
  14. Lucy has recently got her old pet goldfish (Mr. Pib) back from her dads and for her birthday I bought her a 60l tank (the poor thing was only in a 14l bowl), filter, plants and 2 more fish (a goldfish with black tips to fins (Umlaut) and a little black Comet (Trevor)). Mr. Pib is probably about 12 years old, no idea what it is but has very long silky fins & tail. They've all been fine for about a month but over the weekend, Umlaut which is not too much smaller, has been constantly chasing Mr. Pib, not letting it feed and generally being a pest. An internet search made me think that Umlaut is male and after some scale on scale action with possibly MrS. Pib. Lucy rang me today to say Mr. Pib has lost the bottom half of it's tail and will not come out from behind the plants. As soon as it does it gets chased again. Umlaut is now in the naughty bucket to think about what it's done and I've told her to get some Melafix to help heal Mr Pib. Any sensible advice before I get home on Friday and have to brick Umlaut?
  15. Cool [/douses the flames and puts pitchfork away]
  16. They look a bit sexy, albeit in a video game kind of way.
  17. Adverts are repeated 3 or 4 times, some cars advertised twice but with photos in different locations. There are at least a dozen cars (not just Supras) advertised like this, harldy an 'oops, double post' moment. To his credit, the yellow Evo that has been sold has been marked as sold on all SIX copies of the ad. It would be nice to see PH being more pro-active in stopping spam sales although, not knowing the workings of websites, it's probably just not possible to do easily.
  18. Just looked at his listings and it looks shit, it just screams spam. I wouldn't bother with any company who needlessly spam adverts out of principal. The stock should speak for itself, multiple ads doesn't make you look like you have a massive selection of cars, it just makes you look like a dodgy bastard. There is a report button at the top of each ad, can we not just report all the duplicate ads as spam?
  19. I can sort of agree with what FightersBlue ia saying. On the one hand, he is getting the cae exactly how he wants it and also learning the skills as he goes. There's also the pride when you look back and know you did that yourself. For me, yes, its shit when something breaks as the supra is my daily driver and needed for a 130 mile drive to work Monday mornings, so its a stress to get sorted ASAP. On the other hand it brings back the love when its all running sweet again. Ive just had a month with a blowing exhaust and it feels great now its fixed.
  20. Yes. You're looking at buying a >10 year old car. Bushes wear out, brake pins get corroded and stick, rear brake lines rust, hoses go brittle, etc. All the joys of owning/running vintage cars. They're not something you just get into and drive, they need looking after. If you buy a decently looked after Supra, then a lot of these things may be done, but you are still looking at ariound £1000 per year in general running costs and if you don't have a 'cushion' of at least a grand to cover repairs you will just end up with an old beater (and puppies will cry).
  21. Sure does add up, but glad I did it. The original calipers were goosed and were needing stripping every 3-4 months to stop them binding and it failed it's last MOT on rear bushes. Yes, I could have just gone for a set of bushes, but for ease of buggering about, it was simpler to just get new arms. Only took me & my dad a couple of hours to replace all the rear linkages.
  22. My N/A racks up at least 300 miles a week and has been used every day for the last 6 years. I don't take much notice of running costs anymore; I can afford to run it, so I run it. I use at least a tank of fuel (60 litres) a week (280-360 miles depending on mood), A set of tyres a year at £5-600. Then there's brake pads, oil filters, plugs, general servicing; probably looking at £1000-£1500 a year (at a guess) plus tax, MOT & insurance. Due to age, it's recently had a full set of new brake calipers, rear wishbones, linkages, etc and is due to have the front links done this year, probably totalling around 3 grand for all that lot. Definately worth doing, it drives & handles a lot smoother now (and passes MOT's) These are old cars now, so you need to factor in things like that or find one that's already been done. Once they're done, they'll probably be good for another 15 years or so.
  23. but we get the Guild this year. [edit] that smiley may be sarcastic
