I happen to be a very lucky person normally

. The problem is it's normally the wrong sort of luck that I get

.
Well that was reversed this week (sort of) I had someone get on the bus on Friday (the guy I got my donner reliant from) and as we were talking I asked if he had a lathe in his workshop (he's a retired engineer), anyways long story short he offered me a small lathe for £20
Went round to have a butchers today, it doesn't have a motor but I cant turn it down at that price

Whilst there, I noticed he had a blasting cabinet and asked if he would blast some bits for me

and guess what he said........................yep you got it he said he doesnt need it anymore so I could have it for the pricely sum of .........bugger all

, thats right for nothing, I love this guy.
Sort of balances out the toothache I've had for the last few days (hopefully comming out tomorrow)
