Apparently 19:15 is an acceptable time to go to bed...

Quietly contemplating another two margaritas and pizza :-\

breakimg kids these days... No stamina whatsoever.
I only made it to around 9:45 last night before needing sleep - it had been a long, frustrating, tedious day of achieving nothing :(

If caught they should be charged with wilful wounding and thoughtless discharge of dangerous materials. Scum fks!
Like Jaime after a lamb naga 🤢
Since Tiffins got raided for the last time, I've been unsuccessful in a search for another decent naga.  There tend to just be heated up like Phals, which is kinda pointless after the first sniff.  Tiffins one was really spicy but probably not that hot, think Madras levels, but really flavoursome spiced.

I'm now called Gutted of Brakkers.

Not got time today, but having seen some of the scenery on the way here will definitely bring the tin tent down to spend a few days exploring 👍
Can't think of any campsites around there, but anywhere along the ridge between Chickenshit Canyon (M40 cutting) to Dunstable Downs will give you access to nice wooded hills with stunning views, and mostly dog friendly.

My 03 Desmond did allow the pedal trick, a couple of other.cars that I worked on ;)
99% certain it didn't work on Tunnie's 2.2 or AA's 2.2, hence they needed tech2.  Tunnie's was definately on the latest firmware available for his engine ECU....

Maybe there are some odd variants about :)

Well I've always been suspicious that my mobile is essentially a tracking device
Both Android and iOS do track, and can provide you with a map of where you have been today/this week/month/year/forever

Obviously any cellular phone operator can broadly track you by cell.

He doesn't deserve a prison sentence.Like all such people he deserves either a bullet or a length of rope with a nice loop at the end of it.
Inmates would ensure he would have had a tough life in there.  Most prisoners have some standards, and nonces ain't tolerated.
He'd have been segregated with the other nonces under rule 43.
I think how segregated might depend on his the screws think he needs a good kicking....

Oh, and scrap the drive to Combe Hill, HS2 have closed the road long term as well for their pointless money pit. Not sure if a footpath is available, as it used to be along the side of the road at the point HS2 are causing distress and misery.

If you want to drive around to it, grab out Google Maps and look for Coombe Hill Monument just East of Butlers Cross :y.  Be aware that HS2 do tend to randomly close roads without notice though.

Daniels Trudge which is opposite the "In" drive to Wendover Woods (but I get a feeling the carpark is closed now)
Just looked on Google Maps, its marked as Aston Hill Bike Park and Aston Martin plaque.

Aylesbury
My childhood home.  Bit of a shithole now, sadly.

Where in Aylesbury?

I guess the actual ceremony will be on the parade ground up the hill on the camp.
.

Yes at RAF Halton.

Bloody brilliant. Went there for my best mate many moons ago. Massove respect from us three!
I went to school there, so our mission was always to try to get them in trouble.  This played out into later life, when we all used to bait the on camp mod plod.

Staying at the Bell & Dragon in Wendover.
I think thats what I know as theh Red Lion, almost opposite Budgens, about halfway up the High Street.  I might have been in there more frequently than I care to remember, as my bestie mate came from Wendover.

If you have time, wander up to Combe Hill, probably about a 2 mile walk there, follow same route back. Stunning views over the Vale of Aylesbury from up there - walk up the High Street, passed the Shoulder of Mutton and over railway line and up the hill, as the road bends to the right, go straight on instead up the path, and it'll take you right up to the monument  at the top. Dog friendly if you have the mutt with you :y

(You can drive if preferred - up high st, passed shoulder of Mutton and railway, keep going along road for about a mile until you get to a cross roads. Go left towards Great Misery, after about half a mile, turn left* and about third of a high up the hill on a sharp right bend is a carpark. Park here (free) and walk through gate near the road (usually an ice cream van parked there) and follow that path for about 300m to momument)


*don't turn right into a driveway, thats one of the back entrances to Chequers, and the security there have a sense of humour failure...


Other worthwhile places include Wendover Woods (search for Go Ape Wendover) which overlooks Halton Camp, but horrifically expensive to park and Daniels Trudge which is opposite the "In" drive to Wendover Woods (but I get a feeling the carpark is closed now)

Pedal trick works on 2.2, 2.6 and 3.2, everything else is a paperclip to flash the codes out.
Not sure about 2.2, dont think it does on either petrol or diesel.  Nor does it work on BMW engined Omegas.

2.2 petrol, 2.6 and 3.2 are broadly OBDII compliant, though the 2.2 is really fussy. Technically, they are all only EOBD compliant.

Can you do the pedal trick on a 3.2? did it on the 3.0 which worked OK.
I assure you you didn't do a pedal trick on an Omega 3.0.

Pedal trick works on 2.6/3.2 :y

Over the bridge and Don't Handle Luggage then :-X
No idea who the ground crew were, but some jumped up little security idiot was getting very irate with the new crew waiting for passengers to disembark so they could take over.

And, no, it wasn't over the bridge :)
