Latest project, perles 110v drill which jammed when I was building chicken Alcatraz It’s rattled even since I was given it, so I stripped it and cleaned the trigger/switch, but then part fell out and it stopped working at all So on checking with callipers and an eBay search produced a new set of brushes for £3.85, so they’ve been ordered Just got to not loose anything until they arrive and I’ve got chance to get it back together!

Come on strikey, you know you love getting up at crack of sparrows fart and telling all the grockles to ‘s@d off home!’😀 Just to correct you its "emmets"...and i wish they would. The majority of confirmed cases in the county have been from tusses coming down on holiday to self isolate. Between that and them taking themselves off to our many and wonderful beauty spots for their daily "exercise" , I'm sure you will understand that tensions are running a little high in that regard! Yeah sorry grockles is a Norfolk term, I guess you’re not a fan of that silly cow from the property program either! What part of ‘stay at home’ do they not understand?😡

I'm learning to play the harmonica but can't say as it's very easy. I can't play any instruments so thought this would be a good start.

Aah that may be where I got it from, grandad was from Norfolk and I’ve an aunt in plymstock ( no I won’t be visiting her anytime soon) That’s the property idiot I was referring to, waited until her husband had tested positive and then relocated to your neck of the woods, and then wondered why everyone was mad about it?

Aaaah...not heard about that. Must have got swamped with everything else. Cant name names...but a "high rank" individual has pulled family down here that normally reside in london..even though some are ill. Status does not infer inteligence or social responsibility!!!!!!

I’m working quite hard on becoming an alcoholic This ‘not driving anywhere ‘ is either a blessing or a problem I’d better have s drink whilst I ponder that one And it doesn’t help when I get an email from the CSMA inviting me to join their online beer club, and get 50% discount on my first order It arrives Thursday 🤣

Pictures of your order when it turns up so we can choose!
The HB is nothing special yet...... but when done its going to be a road spec racey type car for a mate, It showing you its good side at present and when I get to it there are going to be lots and lots of repair panels to make, if I remember to take pictures ill try and start a thread!

Good on you, ive always wanted to do something musical but don't have the patients! I played in the senior schools orchestra for a while in the 'percussion' department but left when fast cars & girls became more attractive to my sense of hearing - for many years I have fancied having a go at learning the accordion but SWMBO keeps trying to offset that against getting more done on Grumpy Towers first - however more off putting was the story from a good contact of mine who is a studio engineer for the BBC - also a decent musician - he took up the accordion but the only place he could practice was up in the loft room of the house - up there in summer with the velux windows wide open but its very hot - so off came the T shirt - playing away with gusto until he traps the nipple appendage in the bellows of the said accordion - reckons it was way sore for several weeks (tears to eyes type sore) - perfectly true storey told & fully experienced by 'Fast Eddie' Jones - Sweetpea knows him too

'Fast Eddie' Jones - Sweetpea knows him too For reasons that aren't likely to become obvious anytime soon (or, possibly, ever) I haven't seen Fast Ed in about 20 years. I don't remember him saying that he got his appendages trapped in any musical instrument so maybe that's a more recent thing. Not one I'm going to get out of my head for some time either ... Thanks for that.
