BigDaddyCain does it again!! Sexy red hoses fitted by Wheelq

Hi Guys

I spent the day at WheelQuick at Wigan where they replaced my tired hoses with Flippa's sexy set in red. The transfer of hoses went well - but my Bongo (as some of you well know) is a perverse little bar-steward and decided to rebel against having its cooling system bled. In spite of much attempts at persuasion by Mick, Stuart, Mick's Son, BigDaddyCain, DaveBlue Ozzie and four old ladies passing by on zimmer frames, the system refused to successfully bleed. After much deliberation, it was realised that the (quite new) thermostat had seized in a locked position, stopping the flow of coolant.

The wonderful guys at Wheelquick have made a temporary repair and will fit a new thermostat next weekend. Wheelquick know their Bongos and have some excellent examples to drool over.

A special thanks to BigDaddyCain who got me the quality jubliee clips and spent all afternoon with us. Flippa, I can see meself cleaning the red hoses on a regular basis. You're turning us into show offs and obsessive/compulsive whatsits.

Be good

Pat McKenna

Hi Roosteruk,
Thanks for the reply. I would love to have been outside your house on Saturday, I hear that six or seven Bongos made guest appearances. We need photographs of instant Bongo Meets like that one!

Take Care!
Pat

Karl

hey thats an idea

While i'm having my Hoses changed would it be worth having my thermostat replaced at the same time

or leave well alone

if you heaters are ok and temp ok i wouldnt bother but on the other hand while they have the hoses off it would make it easier to get to it !!
and also it might disturb the thermostat when takin hoses off ?

you've been bongod

Hi Guys
I'm stuck in a classroom holding a detention lesson. For those of getting excited about my sexy red hose, please read this extract from William Shakespeare - The Seven Ages of Man.

In this case, the 'youthful hose' would be my oversized kinky red tights - all the more silly coz I'm five-foot nothing, male and hairy legged.

Be good
Pat

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms;
Then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lin'd,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well sav'd, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion;
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything."

Ah, a welcome injection of some much needed culture there!

I could just picture stu donning doublet & hose whilst reciting the "taming of the screw"

There was certainly a comedy of errors trying to work out why your bongo wouldn't bleed up pat.

Thankfully, the frayed tempers were much ado about nothing,i'm thinking of refering to mike as "pericles"from now on..."the prince of tyres"

All's well that ends well,i take it the hose job is "as you like it" pat?

HI Guys,
Thanks BDC, the water level has stayed steady in the expansion tank. I keep checking it before and after every little trip. I was impressed by your Shakespearean quotes!

Hopefully all coolant issues will be resolved with the fitting of the thermostat at the weekend! Otherwise, as Mercutio never said in Romeo and Juliet, 'a plague on both your hoses'...

That's my quota of abusing the bard.

Take care

Pat
