PMSL, right on cue, Dominos just pulled up outside

Dominos for breakfast?! Fu£king savages!

I'm guessing they are the only place open that will deliver around these parts.  But they'll have it for lunch and tea as well.  Jeez, if I ate that much pizza, I wouldn't shit for a month!

Could that be classed as a plus? 

Can you imagine, I'd be straining that hard, I'd rip the bathroom door of its hinges!

Yesterday, I picked up a straightened wheel and new tyres, and relieved my wallet of £365.

Today, I struck up enough enthusiasm to put it on the car.


Also, yesterday, washed hers after its weekend in Devon/Dorset, seeing as it had been through many big puddles and dollops of cowshit.

On the upside, I've not been to a funeral this year, yet.

I had a tailor made suit done for me in Saville Row, Bangkok in 2008. Cost about £100 and it's still going strong for weddings and funerals! 

More funerals these days though.... 

Yup, about 5 years ago, I went for a black suit, as it covers all occasions.  Been a couple of years since I went to a wedding or christening though!

All the little seaside towns I went to at the weekend had either just closed their Boots stores, or were doing so in the next couple of weeks.

I suspect it will just mean Mrs TB has to queue for even longer at the pharmacy at our local medical centre...   ...now there is a prime example to all how not to run anything, useless, incompetent jobs worth r-soles.  Usually takes about 30mins to pick up a prescription, and they invariably get it wrong, then insist on a note from the doctor to rectify their blunders.


But its understandable, seeing as the kiddiewinks now can't lift their backsides from the gaming chair.  The strange people opposite get their first takeaway delivered about now, then another around mid afternoon, and then another late evening, before they go to work for their night shift.  I'm hoping their baby gets more than Dominos....

Omega General Help / Re: Martin Imber

Sounds like my garage I know its there but cant find it. Martin did a fob for me some time ago fantastic service,now looking for a rebuild on a door locking solenoid.I believe it was "Steve" who did those.

Again, just replace switches, decent ones are under £1 each, and Kevin Wood did a great guide

I’ve done a fair few 36+ hour shifts, unplanned obviously.  Generally I found once through that brick wall around the 36hr mark, you can keep going for about 60hrs before you just fall asleep where you stand.  Or start seeing very real things that aren’t really there

Just replace latch if that’s the fault. He needs reliability from it

Did the first long-ish trip in hers today, seeing as mine is still busted.  Previously, furtherest I’d gone in it was central Londonium or Brumingham.

Might have gone through some puddles that were deeper than they looked as well.


Ignoring the fact it’s a manual, it was a lovely cruise down to the seaside, and if the app is to be believed, mid 50s on Opti’s favourite fuel

They are every bit as comfy a mile eater as the Omega was. (when burning the correct fuel, at any rate. Never sampled the tractor variant.)

I was pleasantly surprised, esp as hers is the weight reduced one (hence small fuel and ad blue tanks) to get it in the £0 tax bracket, so probably has lighter, less luxurious seats.

I love driving it around the lanes, although hers lacks power, it can embarrass a lot of cars in corners
