33grinder's top ten tools for Daffing!

[33grinder]

Thought I would share with you my top Daffing tools! The obvious exception being a mig welder as I don't weld!

#1: Tea bags. Yep, p!ss poor preparation leads to p!ss poor performance. I always ensure I am well prepared for Matt and Dan's visits. We southern Daffers are voraciuos tea drinkers and when Matt's in full flow daffing mode he can reach speeds of 3-4 mph (that's 'mugs per hour')!


#2: Duck tape. If something moves and it shouldn't, stick it with Duck Tape until it stops moving!


#3: WD40. If something doesn't move and it should, spray it with WD40 until it moves!


#4: Hammer/Mallet. If in doubt, give it a clout. A theory well bourn out by the state of my toffee mallett.


#5: GunGum, a Daffer's favorite. For the typical Daf exhaust. If this can't fix it, it's only good for scrap!


#6: Leccy tape. Can be used as a temporary replacement for #2. Also good for electrical fixes where proprietary fixings are unavailable. Usefull for unscrupulous vendors as a 'fix all' as used frequently on Gavina. Unfortunately doesn't stop a perished rubber fuel pipe from leaking and stinking out the house.


#7: Multimeter. Because Daf electrics are so reliable! May also be used to fix problems instead of #6;)


#8: Angle (33)grinder. Useful in conjunction with the Mig Welder that I don't yet own or cannot use for toffee. Good for taking out frustrations, but not on our beloved Dafs, except the ones only good for breaking! Also may come in handy for items failed by item #3!


#9: Monkey, the complete box set. Yep, sometimes a bad day's Daffing can get one down. This usually cheers me up! ;D


#10: Dutch moment. No photo available for fear of self-incrimination. Daffing is a state of mind. When it all goes bad, put down #8, reach for #1 and have a Dutch moment. You won't regret it. ;D

Happy Easter all.

Cheese,

33G.

Apparently Sian has never seen Monkey!!!!! Her parents must be monsters - what else did they deprive her of?

Monkey is ace, and the purchase of the box set a couple of years ago from Amazon was an alcohol induced purchase but not regretted and thoroughly recommended if you, erm, like that kind of thing! ;D

Talking of nostalgic tv I happened to (not) be watching Willy Wonka's chocolate factory earlier and as I looked up to the tv from my pc I saw a bronze coloured 55 coupe driving past in one of the scenes!

Don't worry Paul, nice coffee is always on hand for those who drink it.
