friday night antics
omega0684 - 17/10/08 at 06:24 PM

as i sit here in front of my computer eating a bowl of good old british stew, house bound through illness with the smooker on the box, i wonder what everyone else is up too on a friday night, i think this thread could get quite interesting.......

so what are you up to?

Enjoying a glass of single malt, winding down ready for the one night of the week that I actually go to bed at night. Whilst contemplating the plan of action for my short sojourn into the garage tomorrow to work on the car. (fitting proper multi-pin wiring plugs to the existing wiring behind the dash. Fitting radiator cooling fan. then time permitting refitting/final positioning of scuttle.)

Ah the WONDERFULLLLLLLLLL aroma of single malt.

Well done! You just earned some brownie points with my wife - she usually remembers QoS just as it's ending, so I was able to tell her it was on one minute before it started.

BTW: I was surprised when I heard that Sue Barker used to drive Tim Henman to tennis classes when he was a small kid... it's easy to forget what her age is, as she's wearing very well... (born in '56)

Waiting for some Jackets to cook, watching the Simpsons and having a nagging feeling of dread that the missus is going to get f&^ked over on her redundancy.....

Oh and getting pleased that my CCTV ad keeps appearing in the top right!

DVLA forms and build up declaration. Coming across a few queries but getting there. Peace and quiet as all are out but I'll be getting a text shortly to tell me to get the tea on.


chris-p-duck - 17/10/08 at 07:28 PM

Hopefully a relaxing evening ahead - watching miami ink and bracing myself for sorting the tintop out tomorrow - blew a spark plug out today so its off to have the head whipped off and the remnants of the plug drilled out.

Plus the better half is somewhat under the weather - be glad when today is over.

Chris


Cheffy - 17/10/08 at 07:29 PM

Working at the mo (well sort of!) - on a split shift today. Did get a couple of hours on the car this afternoon though. Off home shortly for a couple of tins of the glorious Amber Nectar and a mooch round this site then back to work tomorrow morning.

Excellent thread.

Mart.


MikeR - 17/10/08 at 07:34 PM

trying to decide if i go to the pub with mates or stick to my plans and spend 2 hours driving up the m6 to see the parents.

Spent the week being so tired its silly (going to bed when i get home, getting up eating and going to bed) so neither options appeals - although dad could make my trailing arm bits i'm missing on the lathe.

In a dream world, off out for a few drinks tonight, tomorrow in the garage - finally finish the handbrake. Do the final radiator mounts, complete the welding of the roll bar mounts, weld in the transmission tunnel loom mounts. Retire to a nice steak and a few drinks. Sunday, sort out the brake pipe mounts for the flexis & weld in, weld in the seat belt mounts, figure out how to mount scuttle & nose, realise if i had trailing arms, drive shafts & prop & fuel tank & everything plumbed in i'd have a complete driveable car! Go out to see mates for regular sunday night curry.

(ok, i need a couple of extra bits - but scarily i'm thinking not much!!!)

Fred W B - 17/10/08 at 08:05 PM

Just finished 4 hours in the garage, sanding and applying filler - the usual!

JoelP - 17/10/08 at 08:40 PM

bit shabba'd as ive done nearly 60 hours hard work this week, now im home doing paperwork, wishing i had a beer, looking forward to another day of work tomorrow, safe in the knowledge that if i dont work fast enough i'll be back sunday!

Dream evening,i would've been home 2 hours earlier, id be in the pub now, and i'd be looking forward to a weekend off. Maybe with a car and a trackday for monday...


Aboardman - 17/10/08 at 09:09 PM

I had fish finger butties for tea.

cannot wait to get back to work on monday after having the week off, been bored stupid and i still have 2 weeks to take before christmas.

JUst off out to the Sugar Shack.....at least two of you on here know what I'm taliking about..:


Coose - 17/10/08 at 11:30 PM

C'mon I'll take you all on you F%&*^in f^&*^&ers. Bahhhhh, you're my best mate... I love you more than Wispas! Hic.....


D Beddows - 17/10/08 at 11:57 PM

Drinking far too much after spending 6 hours out of 8 at work today waiting to find out if I was going to be made redundant...... I'm not for now as it happens but it depends a lot on whether M&S continue to want us to build new shops for them. So it would be most appreciated if you could all pop out and buy your annual quota of socks and underpants from M&S this weekend to help a fellow forum member out


simoto - 18/10/08 at 12:11 AM

I got lucky, swimbo's mum came round so i got to be in the garage from 7 till just now!
Finished fastening my rear tub on for the last time and fitted my boot cover. Really pleased how it turned out, nice and tight. ooh.
Also plan to turn the motor over for the first time this weekend and maybe even hear her run.
Expecting nosecone back from painter this week too.
Certainly exciting times for me.
Sva december i hope.
Progress pics if some kind soul would host em for me?
