So he is. I sent him a PM a few months back saying if he ever felt like jacking it in give me a shout and I'd take it on in a heartbeat. Ah well.

While in the loft, I stumbled upon a 70's fibre optic lamp that the previous owners must have left, and after some minor fettling got it working! Treasure!

Well, the chimney breast is still there, so I had a fun time taking pictures of it, tracing it behind the false wall in the kitchen and fitted cupboard in a bedroom, and the loft where there's clearly a big ol' chimney breast..

Back to estate agents, had a call from mine today, apparently the survey is back and ok, the only outstanding question is when the chimney breast was taken out and some building regs queries from that.

But no, I'm not tiring of the MG. Much fun. Everyone should get one, especially a green T reg one with peeling laquer. I need the money.

It's a shame you don't have a spare smoll car.
Ozzy Mandeus
Tue Apr 25, 2017 8:55 pm
you can borrow the LS400 for your commute if the MG is proving tiring doing 100 miles a day (but I can imagine it too would be tiring in a wallet emptying kinda way)

I'll get you some photos today. Bonnet has some laquer peel, back edges of sills are a bit browner than they should be. Rest of it is OK.

I already have a potato shaped vehicle which is doing sterling service and I'm sworn off MGs until at least next year. Temping though that sounds, obv.

Potato shaped vehicle with panoramic glass roof but multicolured bodywork + Tatty MG + some cash? (not entirely serious. Might not be much cash. Some assembly required. Batteries not included. Not suitable for children under 6)

I don't think there's much actually left wrong with it but I'm bored and we've had 2 sunny days already this year and I forgot I need* a convertible. or at least a proper sunroof. But carry on.

Ta, it just rankles a bit that the shiney suited tossers seem to think I can't afford £300 a flipping month. I probably spend that buying shit cars no-one else wants!

Fingers crossed. Vic's landlords in Durham (both houses) were very amenable and proper humans who didn't rely on computer checks, I could find out who they were if it would be of any use. they do student lets mostly IIRC but she's been renting off them for a few years and would certainly put in a good word if needed.

Chap over the road from us put a static in a field, on blocks, then after 6 months rendered it. You'd need to look pretty hard to tell it's not made of bricks and mortar

Housing association basically laughed at me. I'm so far down the list I could build a house quicker.

Estate agents are all useless btw. They want forensic levels of provable income to rent a house that costs a tenner a day to rent, and go into a flat spin when I offer six months rent up front in cash instead.
