Bonnet edges

Weds.05.03.08. The rubber extrusions provided by Woolies have tidied all the exposed edges of the bonnet accordingly they now only await the assembly on the car. The lid of the boot lining has been reinforced by an inner piece of timber; this accommodates the locking mechanisms plus strengthening the actual door. Possible uses for the area could be storage for travelling essentials, such as, a torch, flask, basic tools…etc..or perhaps a simple fold down table. This is another one of those design spaces that has been maximised becoming an additional effective detail. 

The dream team of Mick, the Doc, Fat Kenny and Mad John have working on the refurbishment of the Oak. The bar has now been shortened subsequently offering the adjacent large sash window included in the Roy castle corner. The phoney support pillars have been removed to create an open plan situation giving the impression of a much large area. John is very impressed with the work excitedly anticipating a large airy soporific area to be later claimed by the group. “It has never smelled as good, the windows actually function properly gifting natural light plus a sense of openness,” John happily reported. The Doc has renewed vigour with grandiose ideas about brewing the ultimate quaffing beer to sell in the Oak at a knock down price thus battering all the competition on the ‘Lane’. “I’m going to make the best beer in the world; that’ll show those bastards on the lane, they know who they are, them who can do, them who can’t or won’t, arseholes an’ twats, its alright wearing a daft hat but if there’s nothing under it that’s another thing, pot, kettle, black, houses, glass, shit, paddle”. We were left to arrange all the words into a well known phrase or saying as the Doc reverted to ‘pertinent and relevant’ mode. Mick assured us that luckily he had been on the job to ensure that there were no ‘cock ups’, ‘bollockses’ oa ‘fack ups’. Encouraged by this news the next obvious question was when the pub would re-open.  But quickly the Doc lucidly replied, “How long is piece of string? Do you push or pull it? It’s no use waiting at platform two at Wallgate station when the train you want is arriving at platform one at Wigan Northwestern, paint always dries at different rates especially when it’s deep, how many guitarists does it take to change a light bulb? Anyway to reverse the question, when is the car going to be ready? I rest my case”.
