Doesnt sound good.Well, the fan was running when I pulled up, so I am glad I checked that properly the day after I bought it
Dodn’t Starmer say the other day that he would keep nuclear and later Rayner said she would get rid of them.
I reckon that if by some miracle he did win the election, he would probably stand down shortly after.
He has ticked that box and it will be time for the next thing, which will be much more lucrative whatever it is.
PS4S currently. A mere £1200 a set. Not been brave enough to go to PS5 yet, although not sure my sizes are all available in PS5 yet.
Hers runs on Primacy. Her size is more budget friendly, so about £500 a set
Runway 215/55 16s on the Focus were £64 each about a month ago.
Mine are 235/40 18
The cheapest I've found so far are Trazano (No me neither!) for £69.99 each via ASDA Tyres. I do kinda like to have the same brand all the way round tho.
Whilst conveniently ignoring the impact of TCV on the public purse.
We're better off than our primary competitors in Euroland, in spite of what the leftist media wants you to believe.
Zenith - Aviva Zero - Swinton are the top 3 for renewal. £4 difference between them. Aill in the £195 + range.
Anyone had any issues with any of them?
I decided to go horse riding. Something I haven't done for many many years. It turned out to be a big mistake! I got on the horse and we started off slowly, grew in confidence, went a little faster, before I knew it, we were going as fast as the horse could go. I couldn't take the pace and fell off, caught my foot in the stirrup with the horse dragging me behind.
It just wouldn't stop!!
This almost happened to me twenty odd years ago when I went on a horse riding 'experience day' with a group of about 15 people.
At the end of the day when the instructor decided we were all confident enough to try a gallop, off we went on the way back to the stables. Unfortunately my left foot came out of its stirrup and I couldn't get it back in. With all my weight on the right stirrup my saddle started to slip over. I tried to get the horse to slow down but he was enjoying a run out with his mates and took no notice. Eventually, I had my left foot on the horses rump, my right foot still in the stirrup but that by now was underneath the horse, and I'd let go of the reins and was clinging on for dear life with my arms wrapped around the horses neck.
Realising that I was going to end up falling off and was going to get dragged along by my foot in the stirrup, I kicked my foot out of the stirrup and just pushed myself off the side of the horse as hard as I could. I hit the ground, bounced off the fence that we were riding alongside and curled into a ball as a blur of horses hooves flashed by!Luckily I didn't get hit and all that was hurt was my pride, apart from being winded from hitting the ground. Oh and a nasty gash in the side of one of my Doc Martin boots where it hit a bit of the barbed wire fence. Thank God I wasn't wearing trainers!
It all seemed to happen in slow motion, but the people riding behind me said that one moment I was on the horse in front, and then I was on the ground as they went by!
I haven't got on a horse since.....
If you were really old school, you'd park it over a drain in the street and let it run down there....
Changing the oil+filter is interesting, if car isn't high enough you can't drop undertray flap down enough, .....
you need a Pela oil-sucker-outerer
I'm of the old skool,, undo sump plug, and make a mess on the floor as the tray is positioned wrong,
Ive always loved the idea of the fun that could be had from a sleeper car.
Probably my ultimate one would have been the poverty spec prefacelift Omega, with Lotus Carlton running gear built by Omegatoy.
10 or more years ago I was told it had sat neglected on a driveway in Cambridge for several years, which set off dreams of buying it.
I heard not long after that the owner had sold the running gear when he got an offer he couldnt refuse.
What I don't get is...The pharmacists' job appears to be counting. Not sure when it became a requirement to have a university degree to count up to 14 (or multiples thereof)
So it takes at least 2 people 15 minutes to move a pre-sealed box of pills about 3 feet from the shelf where they were stacked to the "customer". You get home, take that day's pills and wash them down with a nice single malt.
The pharmacist's job is checking, not counting.
Without making any excuse for the moron in question...
In day-to-day life the no smoking rules in the UK tend not to be taken in any way seriously. For example, I think every NHS hospital has been no smoking for around a decade now, including the carparks, grounds etc. Visit any one and you will surely see a cluster of smokers outside every door, both staff and patients and nothing is done to stop them.
Your common-or-garden moron therefore becomes used to smoking where they want and simply being rude to or shrugging off anyone who suggests they shouldn't be doing it. So put them in an environment where there are real consequences to their actions and they just aren't smart enough to see them coming.
Looks like yesterday I hit the wrong button on a well known online retailer. I thought I was getting a pair of DJI Mini 2 batteries, but a paddling pool turned up. Upon checking my orders, that's what I clicked.
Bugger.
It's your subconscious rejoicing in the fact that summer is coming - sit down, dangle your feet in the nice cool water, enjoy a beer, try not to break anything, the usual routine
On our most recent cruise, we heard that some old chap had been taken seriously ill so when we saw the Ambulance in port from our balcony we thought it was him being taken away. There was also an old lady sat crying in her wheelchair on the dock so we assumed it was her husband being taken away. We then heard that the old lady was nothing to do with the old chap, and that she’d been thrown off the cruise ship for being violent towards her own family and other passengers.If ever I went on a cruise, knowing my luck, I would be couped up on a floating hotel with people like that.
I contemplated a cruise, but the more I think about it, the more I know its not for me. I mean, I hate hotels with a passion. A hotel you can't really escape from all day, every day, is just a prison
Man overboard?
