Flourescent inspection lamps that refuse to shine light on what you're working on, and instead just want to shine in your eyes effectively blinding you.

I made a lead up with a screw lamp holder on it, and got something similar to this and a 1/4 of the price.

May not be 100% for every jop, but the adjustable arms help.

Other LED/output/size/arms etc are availablr.

Sorted.

They had taken £267 from my account regardless of me ticking a box not to take payments.

Tried to charge me a £25 cancelation fee.  but Zenith allthough set to start the policy from 19/5/24 started it when I paid on 18/5/24 and have just saved me £25 so cant complain.

Also they tried to compete with Zenith and the best they price managed was £257

This is fun.  No communication, no mention of price, got an email from last years insurance company saying my Insurance has just been renewed. 

Had this when I was in hospital a few years ago.  Admiral took £750 from my bank for what ended up being £200/250ish worth of Insurance.

I have allways stated to Inurance companies I do not want Auto Renewal.

Gonna be fun if they have taken money.

Roll on trying to get through to them on the phone

Amazon item due by next Tuesday with a courier called YDH.

Went for a pee, gets a knock on the door (Twice)  I shouted 3 times trying to get thier attention.  Got to the door to see a red van drive off, waved but didnt see me. No note through the door.

Not expeting any other parcels.
Nothing left outside.
Amazon Tracking has shown as dispached for 2 days now.

Wonder what happens now, do they redeliver or does the fun start now (If of course it is the Amazon package)

Some times I think car designers lose the plot.  The new 7 Series has the most hideous headlamps I Have seen on recent cars.

Plus going back to even the Lotus Carltom.  Wheels, same rotatation design on both sides, so looks the biz from the passenger side and the drivers side just looks wrong.  With CNC tech these days, just click a button, mirror the patern, click start.

My tv.

Put it on mute during a phone call or have a visitor it randomelly reverts to sound.

Also - Sky Q, I have it set to a music channel all the time, but then when I have watched a recorded item I end up watching a News channel or an oldies soap channel.  Overnight I end up on a shopping channel. 

None of these are my choices.

I've often thought that Jay Leno would be a good bloke to have a pint with.

I wonder what the topic of conversation would be

I know, pick a car make, but lets sit in one while we chat.

Sought after classic Vauxhall due on 9th June.

The Mexican coupe due on 15th June.

I'm hoping I can insure the pair for  less than £500 if I shop around.

Have you tried the multi car route.  I used Admiral years ago and found it kept getting cheaper depending on who picked the phones up (Get the timeing right when the Canadians pick the phone  and if its a bloke start talking cars/pickups and for some reason the price drops)
