Geez, what happened to the other four cylinders?

I'm frightened, Auntie Em...

Good intentioned, but colour blind. Who would paint a flathead that colour? All I get from my missus is socks and underwear. 'Course depending on the particulars, that can work too...

Okay, I'm getting the sense that maybe there's something I don't totally "get" here ... me being a woman and not knowing these itty bitty bits and pieces of thingamajiggies and all?

[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

You, being a woman, do not give socks and underwear. You wear them and that, if it be the right socks and underwear, should ensure that Christmas (or any other holiday) is a smashing success.

That pale blue motor thing is, well, only a thing someone like Dave, or me, or Geoff, or Keith, or Alex, or Stephan, Hanno or...would understand.

Got it?

bruce, its easy to spot oil leaks in that color, and it is late war.... late vietnam war

[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

...and here I thought you two might have gotten into a tiff over this. You can now smile and say "nice wartime paint, dear!!". Ain't wife-es great?

Judging by the overspray on the tire, Dave did!

Sadly, it was a library book that I had to return "The Little Black Devils" by Bruce Tascona and someone else I think? I think it's mentioned in my EXECUTED POWS thread ... I'm sure people in here recognize the full title and authors though. I would like a copy of it if I ever come across one. Actually, I think I'll check our library catalogue online and see if they have a copy available. Thanks for mentioning the book so's I'm reminded

And BTW ... I really LOVED those socks. They were cozy WARM in my Wpg bunker
