had to wear the holden shirt.... the brainwashing has to start early cos his dad is a ford nut ( i dont know where i went wrong with that one ).   and i had to buy the spanner cos i'm determined to have one mechanic in the family.
now i've got to go and buy lots of holden gear in size 000.
cant wait till i get to babysit for the first time (i'll post some photos !)

I want to buy Brayden a REAL spanner for Xmas ( I dont care that everyone tells me a real spanner isnt a suitable present for a 4 month old baby ! ).
I was thinking(yes i know....it doesnt happen often)
should I buy a spark plug spanner or one to fit the sump plug ???

Title: Re: i must be getting old
Post by: Martin on December 06, 2005, 12:59:36 PM
If you put the plug in the right place, you won't need to worry about what comes out of the dsump.

When my son was nearly 3 months old, I got him a set if chisels for his 1st christmas.  Came in real handy until he was old enought to use them, then he decided he didn't really want them anyway - no gratitude!   :D  I've still got them 26 years later.

BUGGER  !!!

Stupid computer gremlins changed the way they do photobucket just when I almost got the hang of it.. now I'm lost in the computer wilderness again and cant find my pictures !!!

:( :( :(


Title: Re: i must be getting old
Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on December 17, 2006, 10:02:39 PM
Not lost, just side tracked  ;)
A few too many letters in the URL and board software spits the dummy.


Title: Re: i must be getting old
Post by: surferboy on December 22, 2006, 10:09:05 AM
Thanks again Stinky
Dumb Question time....

The URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the "http://www.blahblahblah.com" that appears in your address bar.
The original URL for your photo was -
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b354/surferboyandcathy/pressieresized.jpg
This was 75 characters, there seems to be a glitch with the forum that it inserts a space or "%20" at 70 or 72 characters. So you would have got over the line with -
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b354/surferboyandcathy/pressie.jpg
or you can do as I did and got to http://www.tinyurl.com, you give them a long URL and they give back tiny one.
or leave up to the Mods to fix  ;D, it's been a bit quiet around here lately anyway  :-X

Hey Surferboy.
Congrats on the new addition.
Cool toolbox. Looks like you might have to get Tess a lock for it, Brayden seems to have sussed it out already.
