    Can't be worse than wet weetabix, which I'm fairly sure is not a food but something to be used in building walls.

    Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

      It's at the menders having a wheel reattached, after they found the axle had broken. And it's only an A-class, not the Beast that Dave Auld storms around in! :laugh:

      As I remember it he had some problems with his wheels too. Except the other way around. They didn't go off.

        Excuse me. I eat all my cereal dry. I particularly like crushed up (to a powder) Weetabix mixed with a couple of spoonfuls of sugar. :)

            It was just the one that got stuck! Mate fixed it though, with the help of a tungsten carbide hole saw and 4 hours of mind numbing drilling on the nut.

              1 Forgive your enemy nut remember the bastard's name. 2. Money can not buy happiness but it's more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than on a bicycle. 3. Help someone when they are in trouble and they'll remember you when they're in trouble again. 4. Many people are alive only because it's illegal to shoot them. 5. Alcohol does not solve any problems, but then again, neither does milk. These should assist you with most daily decision choices.

                        That should read: TRY to help someone. It allows implies that they KNOW they are in trouble or CARE that they are in trouble. Quite often, they don't know or they don't care.

                                          Excuse me. I eat all my cereal dry. I particularly like crushed up (to a powder) Weetabix mixed with a couple of spoonfuls of sugar. :)
