I’ve read a lot of sports bio’s, mostly football. I have almost a library of Forest books, all signed by the players, going back years to the early sixties. Wouldn’t say any of those are bad, but some of the others were. One of the best I read was Jimmy Case, another former Liverpool player and one that no one in his day wanted to be tackled by. Many of them are all “me-me-me” and are just stories of good games they played, with excuses for the bad ones. But Crouchie’s was funny, your missus will enjoy that.

I'm out.I believe it Keith, just ought to be a warning in the handbook about it. Guaranteed to make any driver worry, if they hadn’t known about it.
I hate daft noises in cars, goes back to customers with “There’s a funny squeak/rattle/whine/grind/graunch somewhere. Can you find it and fix it?” Me driving, young mech with better hearing crawling around the inside of the car, listening. 60% of the time it was untraceable. Sometimes it was down to something left in the boot, door pocket or glove box. Once a ‘flapping noise’ was a big piece of thick plastic stuck to the exhaust and whacking the chassis. I could see it as he drove up the drive into the workshop, had to inwardly question his eyesight: why can he not see that? Should he be driving?

Don’t mind not seeing Ed Sheeran (which is the video after that one) but that was rockin’. Watched it twice.

I'm out.If I need anything like that JB, my first option is the local Screwfix. For anything I want to match up, I take one to Screwfix and they take the time to match up whatever it is.

I'm out.Dwynne take a look at your Saved Passwords if Firefox saves them. The password you save might not be the one you usually use: it might be a long jumble of characters. That’s what I did and it locked me out. See if you can change your password in your Forumite Profile, then log out and log back in with the password you created. Then remove the previous password from your saved passwords list. See my post #34967 above.

I'm out.No worries Graham.
Keith I lifted this from a US site:
“ The 2013 Have the six speed manual. This is a dual-clutch system for the six speed. Clutch went bad, at first reverse was hard to engage, quick degraded so I could not get into any gear, mechanic found almost no wear on clutch plates. Dual clutch system cost $700-1000. Clutch job $1,700, from a reasonably priced shop. ”
I have a thought about this: ” Today I decided to reverse the car 11+ mph before moving forward and there was no small grind noise when reversing and when moving forward also no small grind noise???? ”
I wonder if it’s clutch-connected? Does it have a hydraulically-operated clutch? Maybe master or slave cylinder leaking? Check pedal operation, is it hard or soft? I do know that those dual-clutch systems can be pigs, hope for your wallet’s sake the clutch is OK. After speaking with an old gearbox guru on the phone, I learned that the 6-speed box began life in the petrol models, 1.8 and 2.0 litre. It was introduced into the diesel Cruze later. E bay is full of gearbox parts and whole boxes for them.
If you find a cause and a solution, plz let me know.

I'm out.An absolutely unpredictable comedy genius, Robin (had to be a) Williams:
The human reproductive organs:
I have literally fallen from a settee in tears of laughter watching one of his shows on TV. He wasn’t really crazy, just a Williams. (I say that from personal experience of my own family and my own history)
What a loss, as a comedian and an actor. As a comedian, the audience never knew what he would say next. As an actor, I read once that one director said that he never knew what was going to happen on set from one day to another.

I'm out.Agree to disagree on that one, Steve? Back to the jokes:
A GP was carrying out memory tests on his older male patients. 3 old guys were in his surgery to be tested.
“What is two times two?” he asked the first. “228.” was the answer. OH dear, thought the doc and asked the second old fella the same question.
“Tuesday!” was the answer, after which he asked the third old man “What’s two times two?” – “Four.”
“Excellent, how did you arrive at that answer?” asked the doc.
“Easy – I just subtracted 228 from Tuesday!”

I'm out.“ ..a circle with an ‘i’ in it (I think it’s an ‘i’),
a rectangular speech box with a diagonal line through it
a black col key
and a green coloured lock – that is showing something to be ‘locked’ ”
Each and every time I go into any topic I get a box asking me if I want to update the password or not
I am on FFox but only had the feature in bold Dwynne: I was actually completely locked out. I found the “password” in the box, it was almost a line long and completely unlike any password I had. Lee fixed it for me and I had a new password: try that yourself.
Does FFox keep all your passwords? When you have changed password:
Go to Tools – Options – Logins and Passwords – click Saved Logins.
Click Show Passwords, scroll through and find your new password, check the date to see it’s the latest. Remove any other Forumite passwords. Click Hide Passwords, exit.

I'm out.Yes, he certainly is – I was transported back 20 years!! Proper situational humour – recounting events/stories with hilarious outcomes and just plain hilarious all round.
I still like Bill Cosby’s Motor Insurance claim: “I was driving along, minding my own business, when a tree jumped out and bit my car!”
Yes, a DOM, but what a funny guy in his heyday.

I'm out.My father went ‘cold turkey’. He had gall bladder problems that escalated rapidly and seriously to pancreatitis. After six weeks in intensive care, with a GP saying that no one of his age recovers, he did recover and organised an operation to start the repair work. He never smoked again in his remaining 20 years. Drastic, but it worked for him.
That was me Richard: had 13 months trying to get the NHS to remove my GB, wound up with malaria-like convulsions that were so bad I had to sleep in the spare bedroom to give my SWMBO some rest. When they scanned and saw it was chock full of tiny stones, (I saw the pics) they removed it PDQ. Next I had Prostate bleed, scans found pancreatic cancer. Out came the Pancreas tail, spleen and lymph glands. I wondered why I was being given express tests and scans: still am treated quickly, I get appointments in jig time now. I believe it all stems from their realisation that somebody should have taken out my GB well before 13 months. Someone let drop a spherical object.
As for smoking: I have good lung capacity and good heart function, which has helped with everything else I have been through, I believe. You have to keep the engine going and retain function in the biological computer that controls it all.

I'm out.Looks from Mark‘s link, like a common problem on that engine Keith. The fact that he doesn’t have it may be the exception.
I remember from some years ago, a mate having an Isuzu pickup, same 1.7 engine and he had gearbox trouble, a 5-speed manual IIRC. Can’t remember exactly what the specific problem was, but I do know he also had the Isuzu in and out of a garage until he got fed up and sold it. Last I heard he was running a Nissan Navara.
Graham (WoF) he said it was a manual 6 speed.

I'm out.Well done John!
I have posted here before about my own struggle against a 300+ a week addiction, although it was 42 years ago I still remember that battle. I have had too many close relatives and good friends die from lung cancer to believe that it would not have got to me too. The key for me was a smoking workmate who tormented me daily and kept offering me a ciggy, saying that I would never give them up. He didn’t know me well enough to know that if someone tells me I can’t do something, I will give 100% to doing it.
Within a few weeks food and drink tasted better and my then GF told me I no longer tasted like an old ashtray.

We’ve gone from a Lincolnshire beach resort, through the Somerset levels and the Severn, to the Amazon.
I love this Forum!

I'm out.Dave I remember the Gloucester Severn from Merchant Navy Training Ship “Vindicatrix” moored in concrete alongside the river at Sharpness. In common with other 15 and 16 year old lads, running up the ratlines of an ancient wooden Man o’ War, parading along the yard arms. By my last week I was Top Boy on the Top Gallant, standing right at the top of the mast. I could see for miles.
(Cough!) Bet I might have seen your house from up there! ?? Or what would later be your house: that was 1961.
A huge lifeboat, full of young lads trying to row up the Severn, using oars twice as big as they were, against the tide: much easier coming back. I actually saw the Severn Bore during that time. I used to visit Berkeley in the company of my two mates. Gloucestershire girls are interesting, I found, and they have an attractive – er – accent.
Talking of Elvers: this is a Lincolnshire business, which sells on Louth and other markets in the East Midlands:
The area they talk about has many similarities with the Somerset Levels, being where many rivers and streams empty into the Wash. Around the Wash there are a lot of Eel fisheries in Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk. North and south of my area of the Wolds, there are also coastal areas which have been allowed to return to salt marsh, because protection from the sea in some places is prohibitively expensive and has no lasting effect. It has taken a long time for the authorities to realise that working with nature is preferable to defying it.

I'm out.Told this here before I think. At around 10 years old, my mate and I were
up to no goodplaying in the churchyard on top of Church Hill in my old village, second highest spot in the county. Two young Americans showed up, festooned with cameras, and asked us where Will Scarlet’s grave was, having been directed here by some wag in Nottingham Castle. Now Will Scarlett was actually Will Scadluck or Scadlook, there were (almost illegible) Parish records for him living and dying in the village during the 12th Century. That was of course supposedly the Robin Hood era and Will was locally known as one of Rob’s Merry Men. If you think about the 12th century, consider that grave stones were made locally of soft sandstone and very few burials of peasants such as Will Whatever actually had headstones, it is fairly certain that no trace of Will’s burial is possible.However, that did not prevent two quick-thinking lads from immediately pointing to a sandstone slab with traces of totally illegible lettering incised upon it. This was one of many such slabs which had been rescued over the centuries, and artfully erected in the late 19th century, to form a very attractive border. The colonials requested photos of ourselves either side of the stone and we consented. They gave us a FIVER! EACH! Think about that: in 1955 or so, two 10 year old Nottinghamshire urchins were given Five Pounds for a complete historical fabrication.
I wonder from time to time, on what American mantelpiece resides that picture, and how many times the story has been told. By the credulous, to the credulous. We felt no shame! I think we managed to spend just a little of that £5 before our dads got wind of it, probably from a local sweet shop proprietor who changed our notes. At that time, I don’t think our miner dads earned £5 for 5 shifts on the coalface. I do know that both dads took the p*** out of us about that for some time in later years.
