Necessity is a mutha.

Sometimes it's good to keep spare parts around the house. I keep a spare igniter around for my furnace, and a spare dual-run capacitor for my AC.

I keep a 2nd filled propsane tank on hand for when the tank I'm using runs empty.

Chevy history.

One story tells the choosing of the company's logo as a modified Swiss cross, to honor Chevrolet's homeland. Another story tells of the Chevrolet logo as a design taken from the wallpaper of a Paris hotel room where Louis once stayed.

Here's something we haven't been able to check out for a while. Quite a (motley) crew. But the newest version of the HTF software allows it:

Aloha droogs! I hope you all had a great Xmas, or as great as covid will allow.

Those names bring back memories Mike, nearly 2 decades worth.
A big cheers to all the testy posters, past, present and no longer with us!
I'm nearing 10,000 posts in one thread, pretty impressive, how often does that happen?
How many Europeans in that list? Just me... and Cees? Is Britain still part of Europe?

'Reaction Score'? Eh?

Ode to an Expiring Frog

Can I view thee panting, lying
On thy stomach, without sighing;
Can I unmoved see thee dying
On a log,
Expiring frog!’

Say have fiends in shape of boys
With wild halloo, and brutal noise
Hunted thee from marshy joys,
With a dog,
Expiring frog!

Hey Steve, how good are you at arithmetic?

"521 to 73 at third reading" - is that a good margin?

Denneeessss! We did it, we're free! No more EU. Splendid isolation... er um now what?

Le Macron is sneering and shaking his head. I dare him to hold a similar referendum in France. Not a chance?

Happy New Year Droogs and everyone else at the HTF! Here's hoping for a better year (can't get worse than 2020 surely?) and a brighter future.

The Guardian moved from Manchester to London.

Steve moved from London to Manchester.

Which was the more rational decision?

Bi-coastal.

We're heading for more severe regional lockdowns now divided into 'tiers', currently tier 4 pretty restrictive, tier 5 is coming up. I wonder what they have planned for tier 6? Locked indoors with barbed wire around each house? Hey isn't all this illegal? Any lawyers on the forum? Someone dared mention the word 'dictatorship' in one of the Daily Mail comments, tsk tsk... hey wait... that might have been me.

 

[Mike Frezon]

I think all the lawyers have been sacked.

So no "hot stove" league this year?
