No Internet, but still punching. And impossible to surpress.
Indeed team vnd is still entwined in another shift in hq. Dodging baliffs, banks and the provvy for the tenth time in eight years.
Highlights so far include: 'taking an hour and forty minutes to get a sofa up a flight of stairs and along a landing before realising it won't go through a 90 degree turn and through a door,even though you flip it, twist it, reverse it and swear at it. Then spend an hour trying to get it back out again while scratching your head and trying to recall how the funk you got the funker up the funking stairs in the first place, then finally smashing it with a hammer'
then,
finding that my "offstreet parking area" is too narrow for a 300. And also that the turn in from the back lane that I would need to make to get into my "offstreet parking" is too tight for anything but a mountain bike. Or a snake.

On the plus side, it's a cool place, I can see the sea and I've been living on takeaways for three days.

Funny old world innit? Swings and roundabouts.

Oh and there's lots of speedbumps. Which have knocked all me exhaust hangers off.
Newbie guide to re attatching please?
I've had a look underneath, but can't see where whatever keeps the exhaust still/up would go.

If anyones intersted, google Beverley Terrace, cullercoats bay.
I am there.

cheers gentlefellas. Nearly done ish now.

Chris, cullercoats bay is tiny. 200 yrds away is tynemouth beach. Which is a surf, kitesurf, bodyboard, windsurf hotspot. It's long, firm and wide so there's the occasional kite buggy flitting around. Up the coast there's seaton sluice which is another very good beach.
If you want a ne base of opperations, we've got a spare room man. Nee bother.
