She figures she's owed money from an aunt or uncle? Has she priced lawyers lately?

Improvise Long but funny. The first minute or two is Benny Hill the mechanic.

Let's see... three or four million each out there somewhere unrecovered. Another country to go to that may fight extradition (If family doesn't hide them as long as they share the loot) How much did the gold weigh considering it is weighed in troy ounces at ~$3300 and ounce and there are 12...

My daughter's house has strip flooring but it isn't tongue and groove. Just rectangular cross section circa 1929. IIRC there were two finishing nails side by side every couple of feet. It worked out great to access joist space to get around the knob and tube wiring. Pull a strip, bore a hole...

Basically a morality tax. A friend's wife died and he met a compatible widow. They both kept their own homes and never married due to cap gain and pension rules. He ended up pretty much living at her place and his son lived free at his. Simple rules: Her kids get her stuff and his kid gets his...

Handicap permits / placards / plates allow vehicles to park in designated handicap spots when in accordance with ALL the the limitations. Basically a handicapped person has to be in the vehicle. No dropping granny off at the door and then driving to a convenient H/C spot. The permits do not...

As Evoex put it, it's a business deal. Why do people get their shorts in a knot over potentially offending someone with a realistic request? He was such a nice person and I didn't want to offend him. THEN HE SCAMMED ME. Good con artists don't look like smarmy TV type con artists because that...

I patched some to match a closet that got changed. It went down over the original 3/4" spruce board sub floor. All I remember was nailing at 45 degrees through the tongue. I'm not sure how OSB holds nails. I used some prefinished 3/8" strip flooring to accent a parquet floor a few decades back...

Yeah but they recovered $89,000 worth of gold. From $20 Million. The money was used to finance gun smuggling. Sleep well. The government is on watch.

A lot depends on where you live. In Ottawa they get more snow but it's colder so the stuff stays light and fluffy. In Toronto we get white lead wet stuff and need more power and a narrower cut.

$22 million in Gold. What is the equivalent in Land Rovers, Audis, Porsches, MBs, BMWs etc

Was mentioned but he had an alibi. A skanky bird dropped a gold brick on his head and he was out like a light.

Is that the one where they want a report that you have to pay for then silence?

30°C out and me ATGATT in black. "Riding must keep you cool." No, it's like having a hair dryer blowing in your face. A comment rather than a question. "Well at least you get cheap insurance." sigh.

Wrong. Selling bikes is a business and one dealership used to NOT have riders as sale people. Their one job was to push a sale through, not discuss roads, risks and rates. I think it was Hully Gully in London but that may have changed. From a business model just sell bikes. Timmies has the...
