Living in the past

They hurt my feet,I cant wear them.

Bigger size ?
or a shoe stretcher with the little bumps you can move.

This is just like the phone in this house when we moved in,in 1991.

The same colour as well. When the BT bloke came to replace it i asked if i could keep it so i could reminisce in future years. He said no and took it away,saying they had to be accounted for then destroyed. Miserable git!

Luckily I got to keep mine in iconic Post Office grey. The previous flat owner had attached a modern telephone plug to it.

I remember one year, me Dad had the sills welded on his Victor, just before we went on holiday. He came home with the rear lights not working. Some numpty had not moved the wiring loom and the insulation had all melted together. We had to separate it all and wrap it in insulting tape before we could go to the seaside.

Do any of you prefer to live in the past?

No.

Do any of you prefer to live in the past?

No, definitely not. I try very hard to live in the moment. For a good chunk of my life I lived in the future ie always thinking of what will be and forgetting about the 'now' that I was living in. It was probably an escapism thing as I worked under a lot of pressure for a good number of years.

About to get a new car but I can't get hold of a "Running In - Please Pass" sticker anywhere.

Accounted for in his pocket, and destroyed on his eBay account...

Local exchange has just thrown over 100, boxed, into a skip. Then filing cabinets on top, to stop any coming out again.

Old school!

My dad's car was an FE Victor with the slant 2300 engine.

I nearly died in a Velox. Late night, country roads, very fast, sudden right angle corner. The lights were like candles and it had all the zippy agility of an ocean liner. Oh, the tyres were nearly bald too. Then again, what can you expect for NZ$150?

Each or for for the set?

And what about those 'earthing tails' people used to trail off their rear bumper ? Been a while since I saw one. Never did understand what they were supposed to do.

Took one off of a two year old car last week, not mine I hasten to add.

My wife's favourite chair to relax into is a Louis xvi that one of the kids brought for her.
