Great news Miri I am so pleased for you.Now don't tell the other half or he will have us both excommunicated.Has he asked him up there for this forecast snow over the north of the country so you can try it out L O L Cor Driving along and it comes a bit Bang the Yellow Knob down you wont know whats got you compared to the Ford.The OH will be pleased hes got his Ford back he he he Ohhhhhhhh and I do love a pleasant chortle Thinking of you XXX George and Kath. Different story for you and OH Would you believe I am having to take Kath's knickers off its a long time since I did that poor lass is in a state she had that Carpel Tunnel operation Thursday last and is all bandaged up and cannot use her left arm at all.
Oh dear it is a job she cannot get dressed or undressed to go to bed So I am promoted to Head cook and washer upper.She must not get the dressing wet.Oh me Oh my! What fun.She is as nasty as a wet hen because she can't do anything much.She can make the drinks though but can only carry one poor old thing is so frustrated.Hopefully the bandages can be removed 3th April and she can get back to some sort of normality.I am equally nasty I am at Oxygen Assessment this afternoon I am not look ing forward to that at all,Last time he had 8 try's at finding a vein in my wrist and I was all bruised and hurt for 10 days He had better shape better today or words will be exchanged and not to his advantage either.Still look on the bright side I woke up didn't I? ??? ??? :D :wave: :farmer:
-
Oh George I do feel for Kath. I had both hands done at the same time about 5 years ago. It was difficult doing things but I did manage. In sickness and in health I know but some things my OH does not need to assist with
-
Hows the arm George? I think your doctors need to organise themselves better so that you are not both incapacotated at the same time! Mind you if Kath has one arm bandaged and you have one sore arm at least you can carry a drink each.
No I haven't banged the yellow knob yet. We just have lots of horrible rain at the moment and the Landy leaks! I'm also getting soaked and very muddy at work - wish we had snow here. Anything but rain!
The Landy is now running well. It might be running a little fast, but I'll turn it down when the weather picks up a bit. My next job is to paint it. It also has a residue down the side where a 'landrover' sign used to be which has now been removed, but left the glue behind. Any ideas about how i get rid of it? Also will it look like a total disaster if I hand paint it? Obviously I plan to use the proper paint for it whci my OH said he would get for me.
Sorry for hijacking this thread!

Hi MiriMaran,
glad to hear that the Landie is running well again.
Glue residue can be removed with cellulose thinners (gunwash grade from paint factors). This might spoil the existing paint but you're going to repaint anyway. Rub down the existing paint with wet & dry, then wipe with panelwipe to remove all traces of oil etc.
Hand painting can look good if you use rollers - you can get small disposable paint rollers designed for oil paints. Use a synthetic enamel paint, which is suitable for either brush or spraying. Tell the paint factor that it is for industrial equipment (or tractors, or anything except a car) - all paint for cars is now meant to be water based to reduce air pollution, but there is little pollution from a brushed or rollered finish.
Do a bit at a time & it will soon look fine.
Regards,
John

Hello both pleased about Landie Miri shame you didn't have a little snow to try it out in ah!ah! John not arguing at all just a story for you and Miri .When I left school at Christmas 1951 I started work on Jan 2nd 1952 at the local village carpenter and builders Why when you have told us you're a motor mechanic.Easy At that time the compulsory conscription was in force and the apprentice at the garage didn't go in the army until he finished his time in April When he went I left the builder job and started at the garage.One of the jobs was coach painting and lorry painting Which we did with Dulux Coach Finish and a 4" brush.We wet and dry rubbed through to the under coat to get rid of all the previous gloss coat Knocked out all the dents and applied body solder to fill the dents the lead would be filed up with a special file and then filled.There was no glass fiber packs at that time.Can you remember the first no lead filler John It was called Holts Loy it was a stick of gray stuff and one heated it with a blow lamp and daubed it on similar to lead by didn't it stink.When the foreman was happy you had prepared the job to his satisfaction.you painted primer on any bare metal and rubbed it down then applied several coats of undercoat rubbing down in between each coat At last apply the finishing coat.Ive seen work done by Frank equal to any spray job for one thing brush applied coach finish dose not suffer from orange peel which to lots of people like me looks a right bugger.Any way Miri thats how I was taught to do it.Is there any reason I left the car and lorry trade and went to work for the local Agricultural Engineers.Much more interesting working with Tractors and farm machinery :D :farmer:

Can't remember names, but it was two fat cleaning ladies (men dressed up as - comedians, well knonw except I can't remember who they were - did they do the kitchen roll ads as well?) and they were eating cream cakes. Must have been for the Cream Board or something if there is such a thing ;D- I don't know, do I? ::) ::) I just remember the phrase at the end and the cream logo at the bottom.

Picture men with high foreheads and white coats: " we've got the knowhow, because we've got the brains"?
And if anyone can explain this memory from my childhood: "watch out, watch out, the humphries are about". I don't know the answer to this one, but it's been bugging me for years.
mab
-
Ohhh first one is alker seltzer. 2nd can't remember the last one is milk. In the 70s the milk ads were about Humphrey who had a very long stripey straw who used said straw to nick your milk on the doorstep. Hence watch out watch out there's a humphrey about. Actually I have a guilty secret the kids in our street used to play humphreying.. We'd nick folks milk and leave the empty bottle just like Humphrey... Very very naughty ;D
-
Yep, for 1st one.
2nd one: here's a clue: think of electrical goods - toasters, clothes irons, etc.
Ahh. I remember the stripey staws, now you mention them - good! that's settles that in my mind :) .
mab
-
Alker-seltzer - Tefal - Milk :D :farmer: :wave:
