I saw an advert on the telly earlier. Mum, dad and small child. They were all white! Disgusting.

General Car Chat / I've started to thrash my car....a bit

« on: 11 September 2019, 20:11:11 »

This usually happens when, subconsciously, I'm trying to break it because I fancy something newer. It's something most men do from time to time, and there's no sense to it at all.
I do not need a new car, and I must tell myself that I'm being foolish. Nowt wrong with the one I've got and I wouldn't get the money for it that it's worth to me. Naughty!



But still......

Get thee behind me, Satan!

General Discussion Area / Huawei

« on: 09 September 2019, 17:27:12 »

Everyone, esp. the US, is worried about Huawei equipment being used in 5G networks because of security concerns. But what about Lenovo? They make everything from PCs to smartphones and are used widely in this country. Their headquarters is in Beijing, so why are we not worried about them?

.....and said "Someone is going to die today, Robert Mugabe or Gina Miller, I'll leave it up to you", then Bob would be just about settling down with his cocoa.

General Discussion Area / No one has mentioned the B word for a while

« on: 04 September 2019, 18:35:56 »

So I will. Boris got another kicking this afternoon and I really can't see any way that he can carry his promises from now in. I just hope we are reaching some sort of endgame.

General Discussion Area / Poor diet

« on: 03 September 2019, 14:31:35 »

My lad has just been down for his 'breakfast', toast, crisps and a can of diet coke. He doesn't go back to uni for another three weeks and, while he's been off, I've been watching what he eats (apart from the evening meal that I cook). Basically, it's shite, so I sent him this link:

General Discussion Area / Greatest test match I've ever watched

« on: 25 August 2019, 16:30:22 »

I know you gents, and I use the word loosely  , are not really into cricket, but no one could fail to be moved by the way England have just beaten Australia. They went from no hope of winning to a bit of a chance to evens to winners. Ben Stokes was at the crease for six hours in this heat. What a game.

General Car Chat / Can someone help with diagnosis

« on: 25 August 2019, 09:37:58 »

Wifey's astra, 1.6 devil juice auto, three years old, 21000 miles, has a 'drone' which starts at around 25mph ans gets louder and slightly higher pitched as speed increases. It is more noticeable when first driving off and becomes slightly less noisy after 10 miles or so. It is constant throughout the gears and the auto box changes smoothly. This morning I noticed that it increases slightly when going around a roundabout and decreases for the two or three seconds when you turn left to come off the roundabout.
I'm thinking wheel bearing. Agree? Disagree? TIA.

General Discussion Area / Making the best of things

« on: 23 August 2019, 18:43:54 »

Been over to Brid for the day, lovely weather. On the way, M62, a veccy C hatchback came flying past in the third lane. I was doing 80ish, so he must have been doing closer to 90. Rear window was smashed....oh dear. Not to worry, at least he could now fit a lawnmower in the boot with the handle sticking out of the back window.

General Discussion Area / Irony

« on: 14 August 2019, 11:20:08 »

BT keep ringing me up trying to sell me a home phone that will block 100% of nuisance calls, or a fantastic broadband upgrade that will reach every room in the house.
The only nuisance calls I get are from BT.

You've forgotten to update your profile with your latest purchase. Probably just an oversight, eh?
