Haynes Workshop Manual.

So anyway, as I was saying to Robyn, having an At-At in the front garden isn’t so bad you should see what people keep in their garages….anyway I’ve got a big tarpaulin over it and when I can get my mates together we’ll do the respray….I know the rocker heads are in the kitchen but you don’t want them getting rusty do you? And all I need is some O-rings and a few gaskets and if I could get a week off work I’m sure I could put it all  back together again and really you’ve got to look at it as an investment…these things will be worth a fortune one day…if only you’d let me buy a second one for spares…have you seen the cost of shock absorbers and they are as tall as I am and I’m still saving up the hydraulic fluid I get cheap from down the scrapyard….I think it’s going to take another year before I can fill the garden pond but it’s almost ready…..then we can take it down the high street for a laugh…….

I saw this in a charity shop and took a photo because haven't we all tried to run a car we couldn't afford while puzzling over an oil stained Haynes manual that just doesn't quite explain well enough how to get that damn thing to fit back where it came from?

Rolf Harris - now it can be told.

                                                   

It's not a very good picture but I think it captures something of the man.

Now Rolf Harris has been convicted, some of the people who paid up to £40,000 for his pictures may be moving their investment into the basement. I don't suppose the queen will be so amused that he painted her portrait. And we will start to hear some more about what happened.

It's always children, because they are vulnerable and in that era children weren't protected and they weren't listened to. This conviction of one of the 'untouchables' goes a little way to setting things right.

There are more to come, I hope.

10 or 12 years ago we had a minor problem with a woman who came to the door looking for Rolf Harris. She obviously had problems; haunted eyes, the look of a stalker. I got chatting with her and it eventually came out that she was going through all the phone directories for Berkshire to find the 'R.Harris' entries. That was my dad's name and after he died it took us a while to alter the phone book.

As I said, I assumed she was a fan - perhaps a bit of a stalker. I even thought about getting help but she clearly wasn't dangerous - just very sad. And very determined too.

Now, of course, I know that she was yet another victim of this predator. I hope she comes forward - after the successful trial more victims have done so.

Coming forward means you aren't a victim any more.
