Aw... don't give up. I will love to help but for now I suggest asking Maeg for help if he lives near you :P Building and fixing are fun. Cooking's even better :D Tea, anyone?

Do you offer everyone tea?

I recommend Nambarrie.

Well, I offer organize a tea party next time I'm in the UK area and so we can chat face to face while sipping tea and eating cookies :P Or maybe we can go berry picking if it's the right season :)

Do you drink that often? Any good?

My dad works for Nambarrie :D

(Twinings, now).

Not cookies, though. Biscuits. Or scones.

You haven't tried one of the white chocolate and macadamia soft bake cookies *Mmm...* You will regret later if you turn cookies down.

I tried the original English scones, but I prefer the American ones. They are tastier :P

Nambarrie - Nice and Strong (from the ad) *lol*

Oh, they are indeed quality biccies and I wouldn't argue with that, but you cannae dip them. Now, hob nobs are quality dippage.

I'm confused... you had a leak in our from your valve cover, and so you replaced your valve train? Or am I missing something important from this?

The cover came off cos the valves were noisy when the engine was warm.

I replaced the lifters but don't appear to have adjusted them properly as the car runs and sounds like crap. So I get to do it all again tomorrow. :|

Yay for Roanoke!!!

Thanks Steve. The recipe looks good, but I can't bake. I have no oven but a small hot plate by the sink. That's why I think getting the scottish scones directly from you is the most straight forward way I get to try some :)
