The joys of daytime tv!

Post by Phoenixboy » Wed Feb 07, 2018 11:46 am

Currently sat at home recovering from surgery,
Oh the delights of daytime tv.
Glad I’ve got the forum to keep me amused.
Was hoping to be able to go out, but been advised to rest up for a few days to let the stitches heal.
How do people sit and watch tv all day?
Always kept active, so being told to sit quiet for a few days is not my idea of fun.
Never mind, soon be out and about.
Does going for a spin in the z count as taking it easy

Lol - I love a bit of daytime TV when I'm in the shop for 14hrs! Mind you, the Wife probably wouldn't agree with my choices of; (old) Top Gear, The Sweeney, The Professionals and Minder (the "proper" one with Dennis Waterman) - She thinks daytme TV is Jezza Kyle, four in a bed and dinner date ffs..

Some good choices there Mike,
Old top gear, always worth a watch.
Will grin and bare it, soon be out and about.
Now where’s the for sale section 😳

Last time I was ill I sunk to despair with back to back episodes of Ice road truckers and a dozen of the same ilk from tree felling, panning for gold, trucking in Aus. etc.

Although I felt my life draining away I began to be ready for series 12 episode 23 to see more driving on ice or another tree felled :headbang:

Yep that's me for this afternoon, too wet and snowy to be out in the garden or workshop today once I've been into town (if I can stop reading posts on here) I can start one of these ready for the engine build on my 71 mini restoration or the 32 High Boy I want to build.

Thanks Marlon, yes reading a few mags, playing on the forum, and channel hopping.
Had the z all detailed the other day, fitted the mm exhaust tips, it’s looking good sat on the drive covered in frost.
Just need the new ventilated fog lights too clear and I’ll be a happy bunny 😀

I was in the same situation recently but, as I knew the surgery and subsequent recovery period was coming up, saved myself the box set of Game Of Thrones to watch!

Yes , just got to take it easy for a few days.
Not to painful, just got to give the stitches time to heal.

I've read that mini tuning book by mr vizard, I fitted a 12g940 cylinder head and an lcb exhaust with a downdraught carb.
It was a weapon after that lot :P

I'd watch YouTube, there's enough half decent content on there to cover all manner of interests.
