  1. I think we may have worn out the old "Subaru Impreza Diners Club" thread :rotfl:

  4. I can recommend the Meguires claybar kit. Great stuff and once used the muck doesn't stick to the car as bad so it is easier to keep clean :wub:

    Incidently , I have been given a tub of Poorboys poly-elastic clay (claybar) . What detailer spray would you expert detailers recommend I use with it ?

  6. Ally, I thought that you made the Brown sauce???? :D

    You changed jobs since mate?

    Still at H.P. mate :blush: (Though its not looking good at the moment)

    I'm a time-served electrician . After a few years working with various companies and contracts I joined a refrigeration firm as a spark . I studied at nightschool and eventually qualified as a refrigeration engineer . I worked with a few other refrigeration companies around the country (Scotland N.England) .

    Due to family reasons I had to get a job near home , with regular hours , no 24hr call-out . no stand-by , no working away from home etc etc and thats how I ended up stuck in a factory working with an agency for Hewlet Packard . (BTW it was meant to be temporary and I've been there 5 years :icon_salut: )

    I'm desperately looking for another job - preferably in service industry again . . . . . . . anyone ? :(

    Al.

  7. I'm a fridge engineer and worked with a company who's main contracts were a couple of very well known pub chains.

    I will never be spotted with ice in any drink - anywhere (unless at home ) :D

    Al.

  8. There was also the office that I was shown when I lived in Belfast . The brass plaque at the door had their name . . . 'Reid and Wright' . . . . it took my a wee moment before it clicked :D

    Al.

  9. My g/f's Mum's maiden name was Teresa Brown . I've worked with 'Bob Downs' and 'Joe King' . My Mum worked with 'Bertie Bottom' who's sister was called Rosie :wub:

    I went to college with Billy Houston who lived out in Lanarkshire and didn't get the joke when us from S/W Glasgow (Govan , Renfrew) nicknamed him 'Bella' :D He had never heard of Bellahouston park :wub:

    So this made me chuckle :D

    BTW The names of the folk commenting are as funny as some in the article.
