Silly Picture Thread.

I am surprised that Birmingham has produced good things. I thought they had small arms, which would make work difficult, in fact they had a special factory called BSA.

In the Medieval period of motorcycling we didn't know BSA stood for Birmingham Small Arms.

 

We thought it meant Bast@$#d Stopped Again!

 

(Sorry, I couldn't help it.)

In the old days, if it stopped you could fix it.

 

Now if it stops, a mechanic will have to call the nearest auto-electrician, who will have to call the computer freak!.

 

you pay all three.

 

My NP Pajero has the engine light on, have replaced the Mass Air Metre, and it's running smooth, BUT that dash light is still on.

 

My expert has been called, now just have to wait for him (not a her) to push the reset.

I had a 125 Bantam, a 175 Bantam, a C-15 SS80 Sport Star 250, a Rocket Goldstar and an A7 . . .

 

The 2 stroke 125 Banty was the only bike that was totally reliable and never let me down once.

 

My younger Brother Graham is a superb auto electrical engineer, and he's the 'Go To' guy for any probs. . . .( family rates too ! )

I noticed the news about Doctor Who today... believe it or not my first thought was "Phil the Pom is going to hit the roof over this one!"

 

Actually he's an alien, so a little thing like gender shouldn't matter in the slightest when (s)he regenerates. Not really the same as Jane Bond, although given that 007 was a submarine commander in WWII before becoming a spy, he's aged pretty well.

Ho Ho !. . . I have not watched that show since Bill Hartnell was in the lead role in the early sixties Marty. . . . back then I thought he was an odd choice after his role as Sergeant Major Bullimore in the 'Army Game' series. . .

 

Regrettably ( ? ) I discovered rock 'n' roll music as a pre-teen and was rarely at home to watch the telly at all. . . ! apart from Ready Steady Go and later TOTP of course. . . I went to two recording sessions of TOTP, but thankfully I was not invited back to Jimmy Saville's dressing room. . . . too ugly I guess. . . .

Phil, you can get counselling for that rejection. I attended a Catholic boy's school for upper Primary and all my Secondary schooling and was never called upon to do my Brotherly duty. The counselling has helped me a great deal.

 

OME

I thought underage GIRLS were SaVILE's victim of choice. Not saying you weren't too ugly, just that you may have been the wrong gender as well...

Yahooo

 

The Paj is fixed, My expert came today coupled his jismo to the the Paj, Switch on, started, stopped, started, rev'd shxx out of it, let it idle a couple of minutes.

 

And declared it "good to go"

 

GREAT having Grand-kids to fix things.

Reminds me of the old Coca Cola vending machines in the 1960s. They were like a chest freezer, sat outside at service stations. Mates and I would sneak in, prize the tops off and drink them through a straw while still in the machine.

Sounds as if you and I were both little terrorists then PM. . . .I used to LOVE metalwork as school and I managed to design a little tool which would open the top of those freestanding gumball machines which used to stand outside sweet shops. . .I could nick a pocketful, then put the lid back on. Regrettably, I couldn't get at the pennies with this method though, as they dropped into a box underneath. . .!

 

Mr. Fred Cheek, the metalwork teacher asked me what this wondrous looking bit of clever engineering was for, and I said it was for taking the locked 'Cat Proof' top off my Gran's fish tank to feed the fish, as she had lost the key thingy. . . .and he believed me !

 

He even let me bring it back to school to modify it for different machines ! spacer.png
