The blue tits are exploring the tiny crevice in the wall by the downpipe where they nested last year and successfully raised 4 chicks. Repeat, the blue tits are exploring the tiny crevice in the wall by the downpipe where they nested last year and successfully raised 4 chicks.

Having an extension built. Builder told me not to use the toilet in the next hour because they were disconnecting the downpipe. Said OK, but instantly forgot. Half an hour later I peed on my builders.

The reason for this, is the XU9J4 engine that powers it. 160bhp from 1.9 litres isn't too remarkable today, but from a naturally-aspirated '80s design without variable valve timing or intake tricks? That's something special, especially considering how light it is (~130kg with all accessories).

These noisy, filthy, feral creatures make my life a misery. Is there really no way to get rid of them, asks Adrian Chiles
