Shel Silverstein flipped a coin and Merlin lost out.I've been through phases in my life where I've actually hated it, and the comments used to irritate me but now I'm older I'm really not bothered at all and comments and jokes don't bother me either, no good comes from twisted knickers and I have a good laugh along. Yeh, I like the name now and VERY proud to be named after that awesome engine. (not the magician just in case there's any doubt)
Generally planning policy is that any extension to such buildings must be clearly different, but a flat roof! I guess this was done many years ago?
Dunno, never looked, I think it's just some General MotorI hope your car is a Vauxhall though?
I have just sent that to my mate Turboprop, he found it funnyDunno, never looked, I think it's just some General Motor
Some years back IWM asked us to restore a P&W 1830 off a B24, they had asked Ford about doing it (who built some of them during WWII) and it had been sent off to them as a freebee apprentice project, after a couple of years it came back untouched, I took one look and told them why, it had GM marks on all the castings.Dunno, never looked, I think it's just some General Motor

Some folks will laugh at any old shite
he should subscribe here, his chest would never stop hurting.
OK, lets not be silly! How do you extrapolate me not liking an obviously scrap van and car on a trailer, actually dumped on someone's drive, with not liking campervans? My van is on my drive, our neighbours all have vans, one has a caravan and one even has a Traction Engine! No one minds. But I guess you took issue with my post because you wanted to type something. Take a look at the picture again. Would you like to live next door to them? (Of course you would, for the sake of this thread!)
Soooo many assumptions not only about the guy in question but also about my honesty..... Really?
Another incorrect assumption, not everyone thinks in the same way as you and I don't think it's reasonable or fair to judge how I think or accuse me of dishonesty.
Maybe I wasn't clear, I never extrapolated a conclusion that you " didn't like campervans". If I you read my post again you'll see I was asking you to consider the similarity between yourself complaining about an unsightly motorhome to the Hyacinth Bucket's of the world who complain about MHs parked up spoiling their view.
but if you do wild camp do you think you've EVER attracted negative attention?
Say hello to him for me Neil and tell him I understand his pain.I have a mate named Merlin and he isn't an engine. Isn't a wizard either but is a druid lol confused yet
Yep, and at least once you though "that twat's getting into another argument"
Tell me the secret oh wise one, how do I learn to simply smile and walk away??
Good lad!! I was 12 or 13 when my dad told me to face up to the bullies and they usually back down. (He also told me to get the ring leader on his own and tell him that I knew a secret about him and if he didn't stop picking on me I'd tell everyone in the school, that worked a treat!)
Years ago I got fed up with my Mini being stolen - once was just as I was going to get into it, someone else got in and drove off. Anyway I got fed up and so I resprayed it with the bright lime green that Renault were producing at the time, with a Police Fluorescent Red bonnet and boot.Do you ever have difficulty spotting it in a crowd ?
Yes well done . I'm sure he has already stated the he's not spent 14 years restoring it .Good lad!! I was 12 or 13 when my dad told me to face up to the bullies and they usually back down.
