If ya don't have breakfast, then what good's a breakfast bar, eh?

[98tls]

Busy doing bike stuff on a cold/wet first day off whilst the other 1/2 was sleeping off a night shift,all good until she emerges from the pit and first contact was "that's a breakfast bar not a f@cking workbench"somewhat taken aback i replied "i dont eat breakfast nor do you so ive turned it into a cold day workbench"Dont think she understood as i explained to her that i was making good use of an otherwise unused space whilst enjoying the comfort of a glowing fireShe replied with angry eyes and a loudly slammed door:shut up:Still cant work out the problem.Jesus i even went to the trouble of covering up the "cold day" workbench with one of her towels

GOOD MAN - I LIKE YOUR STYLE!

Now she probably often complains that you are not in the kitchen often enough - finally you show an interest and ........

Lets face it... you can't win. Stop thinking you can.

Nice forks.

how can't she not be happy with that? you guys could spend some good quality time there she could cook some bacon and eggs while you work on your bike for instance?

I had a landlord like that once - he kicked me out of his flat because I was rebuilding a bike in the lounge...it was all clean dammit. Bastard had no insight at all...

They are clean

Beats a differential being dismantled on the lounge room carpet, with just a bit of newspaper to absorb the oil

As long as you don't damage the bench and as long as the forks don't sit there untouched for a month, I don't see the problem

Xactly Mom,i learnt from the old mans mistakes,he rebuilt a 650 SS Norton in the lounge,the old lady left before it was finished.

Right with you there mate, the forks were clean, the surfaces were protected so what the fuck is all the jibba jabba about.

I have French windows but they dont say "oh la la" when I open them. I have a mini music system but dont own a mini, I have a Welsh dresser but no sign of an undressed Welsh person in my house (thank fuck, the last Welsh bird I saw in the nuddy had a wizards beard you could lose a badger in), I have log fire but I dont poo in it, I have a shag pile carpet and....well, you guessed it.....

And none of it bothers me......I mean, I have a salad bowl but all it has ever had in it is twisties, rashuns or toenail clippings.

So Breakfast Bar, make that utility workbench for biker parts.....means nowt so nowt to jibba jabba 'bout...

thats what i'm talking about

[Kickaha]

I had a similar conversation once when someone found some engine cases in the oven being warmed up to fit some bearings in them

......I mean, I have a salad bowl but all it has ever had in it is twisties, rashuns or toenail clippings.

Tasty were they?

Back on topic...I look at it like this. If it's short temporary (as opposed to indefinite temporary) then I don't see a problem. Whaddya have ya garage for otherwise?

Darn those wheels look good - you could just about mount them on display in the living room.

Is that one of those fancy alloy sprockets with a steel outer? Strike me as the best of both worlds, light and strong.
