FLY2 10,108 Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Did the same with my Citroen ID19, when a mid section snapped near Cullompton when towing the caravan back from Cornwall. Retreived a beer can from the lay by. Remove top and bottom with a penknife, two jubilee clips and hey presto. It lasted months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,305 Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 I'm surprised that Ben still speaks to me or certain others after the leg pulling he gets, especially when he's been so ill.

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Regarding cat converters, I was looking at a video of a guy processing them to recover the platinum and palladium metals, he had bought a load off Ebay. After three days he'd processed about 20, used highly toxic chemicals, risked getting poisoned by Chlorine gas, risked a life threatening condition that platinum salts will cause on contact with bare skin or inhalation of the gases and recovered about $250 worth of palladium and platinum and had about 20 gallons of highly toxic waste, of which he never said what he did with. When you think about it, was it really worth it?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mary1947 2,079 Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 True or Untrue ? some were in back of my mind it seem's that some one told me "Hitchcocks" wife lived on Long Hill Rise in Hucknall Notts Not sure if it's right ? maybe some member will have the answer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Alma Lucy Reville , Hitchcock's wife , was born August 1899 at 96 Caroline Street to Edward and Lucy Reville(nee Owen). Family appear to have moved to London not long after , as on the 1901 Census they were living in Lewisham . Alma had an elder sister Eveline there too . ( Family transcribed as "Rivelle"). Edward born 1864 was described as a Lace Warehouseman. 1911 Census the family were at 10 Avenue Gardens , Isleworth . Edward was then a lace salesman . Until the 1921 Census comes out it may be difficult to find if the family moved back to Nottingham before Alma married Hitchcock in 1926. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I looked in the Civil Registration Marriage Index 1916-2005 on Ancestry .com to see what I could find. If I am correct in my findings, it looks as if Alma either lived in London in 1926 or travelled there perhaps to have a Celebrity wedding.

DAVIDW 1,683 Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Carni , Alma was already working in films when she met Hitchcock . Not sure how she started in the industry but she was some sort of screen writer or plot planner before she met him . I somehow think she would have had to have been living in London to work with the film studios . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Next joke... "How did Jonah get to Nineveh?" Answer: by whaleway (not strictly accurate as it was a big fish, not a whale, but it made people laugh anyway!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
