Kittens
The mother is quite tame, I expect she was abandoned or got lost or something. She used to be a domestic cat as she is still quite sweet and you can stroke her. She is very very skinny though, not enough food for some time combined with feeding the kittens has really taken it out of her. The kittens hiss a bit but are still young enough to turn out OK everyone in the office keeps handling them so that will help them to become used to people. I agree if people would get their cats and dogs done it would mean that there would be far less without homes.

Kittens
One of the staff found a kitten in her back garden, after looking she found another three and their mother living under a blown down fence panel out there. She spent the weekend knocking all the neighbours doors and puting posters up but it looks like they are homeless. She has a dog and a rabbit so is unable to keep them, she brought them into work today to try and get the RSPCA to take them or Cats protection league. No one is able to take them until Friday as there are so many cats looking for homes. Cut a long story short we have bought them a big rabbit run and got them a bed and toys and they are living in the office until then. They are so cool I reckon they are about 4-5 weeks

OMFG My luck sucks
Got all the new gaskets today from Kyle in the US, so thats a good start. Jimmer will be doing the repair and rebuild when he gets a chance as well whenever that might be. So at least it will be in good hands, fingers crossed its just the gasket and not a machine work or head problem. Anyhows im sure Jimmer will be able to resolve the problem once and for all. Its a pisser but its life. Im not sure when it will be started but its tucked away now until he can do it and there is no rush now!. I will let everyone know exactly what the issue is as soon as its in bits to avoid any speculation as to what happened. Another thing is I am probably going to remove the AEM EMS its a pain in the ass to get anyone to work with it over here.

OMFG My luck sucks
Kyle is sending me the new gaskets and gasket set FOC, and if its a faulty head I can return it for a replacement. So that goes a fair way towards getting it sorted out, so I am pleased with that as its about the best result I could have expected without sending the engine back I guess. Whats more is that it shows good willing to help get the problem fixed!.

My fan was wired to come on with the ignition bud, piece of scrap at the moment though whatever.

OMFG My luck sucks
Its hardly like I cut any corners with this either, bought the best engine I could from a top builder, used all top quality bits. And where I needed help I paid for it :crying:. Its not like it was a budget side street garage job!

OMFG My luck sucks
Yeah it came with the heads fitted, Just dropped him a mail. The garage that got the car running told me from day one it was overheating. They thought it was the water pump or blockage... Kyle is in the US and the engine is in the car. Just assuming that Kyle says its down to him and will cover it under warranty I still have to take it out and ship it both ways again so I am back to square one as that will probably cost the same as doing it here. Then there is the possibility he says its my fault or the garage who did the initial set up for some reason. The Garage that did the set up will say it was a faulty engine from day one. I cant really see any simple solution to this except whatever happens it will be me that has to probably pay to get it sorted out. Im really feeling so sick about this I just cant tell you.

OMFG My luck sucks
Got a block tester today and it seems my overheating issue is a head gasket problem. Tested it twice and both times it turned from blue to green showing that it is the problem. Brand new engine from the US built by one of the best guys in the business, and this happens. God I cant tell you how low and pissed off I am at the moment, after all the money time and effort that has gone in to this car. I honestly feel like burning the bloody thing! :headvswal

Time Team Special Mad Mad Stylee
This was one of the most random things that I have ever done. Im into History, live in a quirky old thatched place and love going out metal detecting. My old school friend (in the pictures) is a real nutter, we do all sorts of random kind of "last of the summer wine" kind of stuff. Anyhows my mate wants to start a car clocking business, oops I mean milage correction business. He is a few grand short for the stuff so kept on asking me to excavate my old medievel well. I agreed one day for a bit of fun and boy was it a filthy messy weekend. We hired a water pump, sucked all the water out and pumped it towards my **** of a next door neighbours garden lol. We then stuck a tripple extending ladder down there. I would say it was about 35-40 ft deep. My friend played stinky sewer rat and waded in the stinky goo on his hands and knees excavating the bottom. He was bitten by a leech and screamed when he had seen an orange nute in there!. Anyhows bucket by bucket I pulled the valuable goo out the well and poured it into a wheel barrow. Everytime that was full we took it to the edge of the woods and sifted it and ran a hose through it all. This stuff absolutely stank and stained your skin worse than a fake tan. Over two days of dealing with this putrid scum from the bottom of the well we had finnished. We found medieval pottery, old buckels, buttons, musket balls, glass, bullets, Animal bones, and an old whistle and really old marbles. We also found some coins but apart from about a quid in recent money only four old ones. None of them older than a few hundered years old. In short the hire costs for the stuff was about £60, we found about £5 worth of stuff. But historically it was priceless. My Mrs went out all day both days as she got fed up with the mess.

Scumbag tenants
Yeah the neighbour said they were always fighting and arguing. Judjing from the bathroom door one of them used it to lock himself in. The other ripped the handle off the door, stabbed it about 50 times with a carving knife and then kicked a hole in it. A love pack of gay dudes moved in after one of them left, staining everywhere on the carpets.. no way on earth I would clean that up ewwwwww.

Scumbag tenants
I have been ringing up all the companies they have conned, at the very least im going to pay for a trace on them and let all these companies know who is behind all the fraud and where to find them. I work bloody hard for my money I would not give £10K to my best mate let alone some people I dont know, so your probably right go get em. Just dont want to let it twist me more out of shape as I have already lost sleep over it and had the mother of all panic attacks over this shite.

dragons den
I know a bird who went on there with the destination london board game, she was a shocking liar. Took loads of money off people and went destination bankrupt. I did piss myself when I heard the news but she got an MBE for it as well. No justice in this world, if you rob rape and pillage you get official recognition from the queen and get on TV. If you do it right no one cares, its just a media circus.

Scumbag tenants
I rented a house to a gay couple, they have been shite payers the whole way through. They made referencing all checked out and were fully manged by an agency. Out of the ten months that they lived there the always paid their rent late or not at all but were never quite behind enough to get a court order to get them out. I got a call from the managing agents telling me that they had apparantly just split and run before the end of the tenancy. I went to the house a few days back to find they had gone but had trashed the place. When I say that it was a nice house im not kidding I spent £15K on it last year after I bought it. New fitted Kitchen, luxury Bathroom with underfloor heating. Brand new carpets, fully re plastered, re decorated. My heart sank when I walked in the door, holes kicked through walls. Light fittings ripped off. Internal doors ruined, door handles removed, the carpets had black paint poured on them, with large stains and cigarette burns in them. Loads of rubbish left everywhere, new kitchen units bust and bits broken. Shower ripped off the wall etc etc. I mean probably the best part of 10K of damage, plus the two months rent they owe me. What a disaster!!!!!, im so sick about this I cant tell you. Judging from what the neighbour told me the house was used as some sort of dog breeding pen and Gay porn den. They had sub let the spare rooms to 5/6 other blokes and it was trashed. Where do people get off, seriously what kind of pond life would do a thing like this. Looks like they never paid a bill the whole time they were there, baliff letters in God knows whos names. Court summonds, and it looks like they have been commiting some kind of fraud there. Seems when they moved in they gave false names to all the utilites companies so they can feck off and not pay and get chased? how is this possible?. I have re let it privately subject to getting all the work done to a family who is topped up by benefits as they are low income. Normally I would say this is a no no but they seem very honest and deserve a break. I told them that if they miss any rent or do anything to the place they will be out. They know that they will not get anything as nice again in their position if they mess up. Early twenties, one child, dont drink or smoke and are family orientated. No pets except fish and very polite. I cant go through this again nor can I afford to keep paying out the damages. Im going to trace the other feckers and take them to court, I will CCJ them then get the baliffs. I doubt if I will get any of the money but think they need to be taught a lesson. Do you think im wasting my time and money or would you just take it on the chin?.

Drugs Question
My old school friend who ended up being a Junkie was really destressing. He just kept on taking more and more stuff since the end of the rave days in the 90s. One day he rang me up crying on the phone saying he was in a lot of trouble and that someone was going to kill him. He came clean and said that he was a Heroin addict and that he owed some bad people £600 for Heroin and Coke. He pittifully begged me for the money and I said I could not help as it was drug money. Cut a long story short I met up with his parents and we decided to pay his dealers off fearing for his safety. All this did was give him extended lines of credit, and when that ran out he started running shoplifters around for a fix. He ended up burgling my house as well as other old friends of his, I felt like crying when I met him and he was some 6ft 6 Stone yellow gaunt smelly unshaven tramp. This bloke at school had really been a good looking guy interested in clothes with a sense of pride. He has been through rehab 4-5 times but never manages to stay clean for long, I went to see him in Hospital as he had blood clots from injecting everywhere. Its a bad road to go down... its a matter of time before he kills himself.
