At approx 19:42 this evening Beast gave birth to a beautiful bouncing baby. Weighing in at just over a ton and a half the new addition to the family was pronounced healthy by the midwife. newb

A little problem with an obstruction in the breathing tract spelt trouble at the start but the obstruction (shittiest air filter I have ever seen) was quickly removed and the baby started to yell throatily. cheers

Came as a bit of a shock really as I had always thought Beast was a male what with the macho go anywhere, do anything image. Perhaps I ought to rename her Beastess but I will think on that one. She always seems to respond to Beast so maybe it is appropriate.

All we need now is a name for the new family member, so if you have any sensible sugestions, post them here and I will let the boss lady pick one.
After all, the new baby is going to be looked after by 'er in doors' so a name will be her choice.

Anyway...I suppose I ought to show her to you all

Congrats, Les!
Didn't take you long to land the SWB! Looks very nice & shiny - no doubt a requirement of your better half! Ha ha! The Beast/ess is looking a lot cleaner than last week too!

Suggestions on the name - Baby Beast, Beast Jr?

Enjoy the new addition to the family!

Cheers,

Cheers DC

I had to clean her for the MOT. Couldn't take her in that state.

I'd already considered that one joinerman, but thanks for your input anyway. It will be the bosses choice in the end and I think she may like that.

I know you should never be critical of peoples babies, but why does it have Japanese nappy rash spelling Prado in mirror writing - that has to come off fast. Prescription: hair dryer and meths Laughing

don't wory guys,

Me 'n' Tommo said the same thing but for some reason the missus likes it. I am in the process of trying to change her mind Rolling Eyes

She want's Dobermann paw prints all over it so the Prado will have to go for that....hopefully.

By the way, she has named it Willow. Laughing

Is that Willow as in

Willow the tree, as it is green?

or

Willow the Dwarf Wizard from that film she likes? as it is a Dwarf LandCruiser?

scratch

Either way, the mind boggles.....

Auto Glym intensive tar remover is good & won't damage your paint.

Sticking plaster remover. You may get t from a chemist. Brand name used to be Zof. It's brilliant.

Cheers guys,

Today I tried;
Petrol, meths, white spirit, sticking plaster remover, nail polish remover, WD40 (and a WD40 clone), hairdryer and a steam wallpaper stripper. Evil or Very Mad

Haven't tried degreaser or tar remover yet but will try both. Question

We are talking about the glue from hell that has probably been on there for years so any other ideas would be appreciated. Mad
