I know F1 has massive underlying problems, but today at Silverstone it produced a superb race. Im sure even TB enjoyed it.
Wheel to wheel battles all over the place and Hamilton winning a record 6th British GP.
Couldn't have asked for much more. :)
Time for Vettel to hang up his helmet I think. Hes now so desperate Im almost embarrassed for him.  :D ::)

Why anyone would want to watch the grass grow at the tennis or cricket is beyond me.  ::)

I mentioned to him yesterday that I could do with a couple of small parts from the Omega he was scrapping. About an hour ago he dropped them off to me, without even knocking the door so I could at least offer him a cuppa as payment.
A very kind gesture, and proof the spirit of OOF is alive and well.
Thanks again mate.  :y :y

Last Friday I sat in the car waiting for swmbo to come out of Sainsburys and this song came on the radio. I found it deeply moving, and actually had goosebumps.
A few minutes later the DJ said people were calling in to say they had to pull their cars & trucks over as their eyes were filed with tears.
Jim Radford is 90 years old and wrote this about his first trip as a 15 year old merchant seaman, which was the Normandy landings.

Any ideas please ?  :-\

General Car Chat / MOT pass.

Not the Omega but the 190D. Apparently the emissions/ smoke test has been tightened up since last year so I was a bit nervous, but it passed - with Diesel in the tank rather than the usual WVO.
Got a few advisories - slight play in steering box. one small area of rust I had missed, and a deteriorated rear number plate.
Not bad for 29 years old and 240,000 miles.  8) :)

General Discussion Area / Schoolkids on strike.
« on: 15 February 2019, 18:09:41 »
Imo it is despicable for children to be dragged into politics. One teacher who supports the action said during his verbal dysentery like ramble today, that if any kids leave school and vote Tory, then teachers have failed in their duty.
It looks like it became a protest against climate change, Brexit and Trump.
I would like to see any staff who supported this sacked and banned from schools for life, but meanwhile any school who employs staff who supported it, should be laughed at if they ever try to fine or prosecute parents who take their kids out of school for any reason.
Otherwise, the state has now officially taken power of parenting away from parents and replaced it with state thought control.
This, by the way is what usually happens in totalitarian Socialist societies.
Over to you STEMO.  :)

I have a little guitar practice amp here which can run off a 9v pp3 battery or a mains adapter.
Info on the back of the amp say 9v dc----200ma. I have an adapter which says 9v dc----300ma.
Will the extra 100ma make it go pop, or is it insignificant ?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Battery drain / charging problem.
« on: 27 December 2018, 08:31:50 »
A few weeks ago I found the Omega had a flat battery one morning. Jump started it and it was ok for a few days, then the same thing happened again.
Changed the battery for a known good spare, but a few days later I had a flat battery again. I found it flat again yesterday, so jump started it and let it run for about 10 minutes to put some charge in. I also disconnected the Nokia Bluetooth I installed just before the problem appeared, as I thought that might be the cause of he drain.
Decided to bring it to work this morning to put a decent charge in the battery and found it flat again. Jump started it and off a I went.
After 15 miles, just before I got to work, the battery light on the dash starting to slowly flash on and off. On for two/ three seconds, then off for the same amount of time.
Just been and checked aux. belt and that looks ok, so assume this indicates alternator fault ? If so, I don't see how it would be the cause of the original fault as the car seemed fine apart from when it was left for a few days for the battery to drain ?
Two separate electrical faults, or am I missing something ?

General Car Chat / Which Bluetooth ?
« on: 22 October 2018, 12:11:22 »
I have recently got myself an iPhone and even intend to try and work out how to use it.
Im now thinking about handsfree use in the car so have been looking at Parrot kits for sale on ebay. If I get one I presume I have to then get a dedicated lead to connect it to the car ?
If so, what lead, and where does it connect ?
Is it worth looking at other possibilities apart from Parrot. Apple carplay for example.
Tia.  :)

Us Brits my well have a five times Champion by the end of this week. And a very well deserved one imo.  8)
So far in Austin it has rained every session and Hamilton has been untouchable, as he is an absolute master in the wet.
Vetttel on the other hand ignored red flags earlier today and the stewards have given him a three place grid penalty  for doing so.
Vettels reaction to this has been to issue a statement saying that the red flag rules are wrong.  ::) ;D
If someone said to me now that Hamilton is the greatest of all time, I don't think I could come up with anything much to say in disagreement.  :-\
