Where's Tickers?

Amongst other things, I've been here. 50ft below my patio, in my cramped, dark, damp workshop.
Making one of these.........

With the help of some of these and some new bearings.....

....Into one of these.
I now feel very butch.
Gonna catch a few beers and watch the game.

oooh, oooh, are you the big yellow thingy?

it does look a bit like a sewing machine, and there's wd40 there, so what exactly is it?

Hmmm... It looks very grubby, whatever it is.

There's no way I'm letting you run up my drapes!

I've told you before, I don't posess any girly clothing!

And It's not a sewing machine engine. It's my 850cc Plastic Pig engine.

Did you rebuild that engine without a hoist? How much does it weigh?

I didn't know you were a motorhead. Don't forget to shove one hand down your pants while the other's holding your beer and you're watching guys slap each other on the ass on TV.

Is it a time machine?

I thought momentarily that Pontyhotpantynewyddynyrsexyhaircut was getting much more scary since I was last there, until I realised that you weren't planning to catch bears.

tgf- The beauty of a piggy engine is you can take it out, rebuild it and put it back, with only a jack, feeler gauges, 3 spanners and a screw driver. no hoist required, you can carry it under your arm.

the fifth floor- I love tinkering, second only to pottering.

awaiting- Come on over, I’ll light up my blow torch for you anytime.

pissoff- High five the Tick.

I- Might just join an ice hockey team.

funny thing- Pontypool has always been scary and if you want to catch bears, you have to go to a the Kings X in Cardiff.

Oooh - we got a glimpse into your private lair. Where are all the hidden body parts?

frobisher- All may worship at the church of 'He's got to be a bit Gay'. Tickists pray throught the mediums of beer and/or bong.

snooze- they're....well....hidden.

Fuck me, Tickers. Your vibrator seems to be...errrr..overly complex. Have you considered getting a battery-operated number??

emma- It fills a need in me.

Jungle jane- No sex toy worth it's salt, comes without either, a starter motor or a kick start.

Ooh Tickers, how terribly terribly mechanical of you........you ever thought about shoehorning a V6 into that likkle Piggy??

i like how you use WD40 instead of lube. Very butch.

Fewclewz- Only last night I was contemplating putting a v6 into the Golf. Apparently it increases the value ten fold.

jungle jane- It's there in case I want to emulate the guy pictured in this blog post.

Phlegmfatale-If I don't get distracted today, I'm going to fire her up and drive the piggy out of the garage for the first time in over a year.

You must be a part time porn producer, because I have never seen that much lighting in a basement workshop.
