Bikes made up from about half a dozen different ones

I've still got one of those. The frame and handlebars were an old Dawes and the rest is whatever I could find. I put it together in 1976. :) :) :)

But I digress --

Matchsticks. In the fifties, you could find them lying under any seat in a public space and I must have collected hundreds.

Hats. Ok, you can still find people wearing them but you have to look hard.

Pop bottles that you took back to the shop to get the deposit. Beer bottles too. When I was a student we used to collect discarded Brown Ale bottles. They were worth 2p each and would you believe that nine empties got you a full one. :D :D :D

When I was at school a few of us used to climb over the back yard of a pub, then pick up some empties out of the crates and take them round to the off sales to get the deposit back on them. :shock: :shock:
That was until the landlord found 3 of us in the back yard. :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
English workmen taking pride in their work :wink:

Jobs "completed" without snag lists :twisted:
 
MM posting at 9am

Don't think you see MM posting any more. I read on another thread that he's been banned. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
please identify it for us.

Here's the thread where Monkeh says MM's been banned
4th post :wink: :wink:

Hey Monkeh, are you privy to information the rest of us ain't :?: :?: :?:

seems that DIYnot doesn't like people talking about Bios chips !!! ! :roll: :roll:

Moody was (is) weird, but he isn't half as much trouble as some of the idiots on here... and besides he only used to post between 1am and 6am !!! usually
 
Come on,, let's face it,,, some of MM's ramblings were quite amusing. Specially the ones about being a computer expert, then not being able to sort out the bios on his computer.
His G/F was banned for making one post (apparently), He couldn't get a job, but stayed on here from just after 12:00am till the early hours of the morning.
Perhaps he should have been looking for a job on the night shift?? :wink: :wink: :wink:

There is little doubt in my mind that he was and is a night watchman at a carpark somewhere who has access to the net at work, and the rest of his claims are all make believe and romancing the truth. His writing style is all too easy to emulate and since some of us began to demonstrate how simple it is, he has not returned. Maybe he's been banned. Maybe not. Who cares? He's a gonner, simple as that.
