Happy Mubarak St Ramadan Patrick's Day!  :y

General Discussion Area / Boots
« on: 19 February 2024, 20:31:48 »
The Boots in our little town has closed down. It has been there forever. My Mum started there as her first job when she left school in the late 1950's, and I have heard that the Boots shops in two nearby towns have closed down as well.  :-\

Meanwhile, the Lloyds Pharmacy has been taken over by an outfit called J Hoots (No me neither...  ::)) and it looks like a complete and utter unprofessional shitshow, with empty shelves and shoddy temporary signage. At least they kept on the staff from Lloyds and so far when I order my prescription, it's there when I go in to pick it up.  ::)

More decline...  :-X

General Discussion Area / Kingswood and Wellingborough By Elections
« on: 16 February 2024, 21:50:33 »
Today the media have been presenting Labours wins in the Kingswood and Wellingborough by elections last night as stunning victories.  ::)

Have a look at this though.

Kingswood 2019 - 16,492 votes for labour
Kingswood 2024 - 11,176 votes for labour

Wellingborough 2019 - 13,737 labour votes
Wellingborough 2024 - 13,844 labour votes

In Kingswood Labour got 5316 less votes than they did in 2019 and in Wellingborough they got just 107 more votes than they did in 2019.

Both by elections had low turnouts, but it hardly represents a massive swing to Labour in my view, but you can draw your own conclusions.  :)

General Discussion Area / Rwanda.... Again!
« on: 17 January 2024, 20:46:58 »
Here's my prediction...

Every illegal immigrant that is selected to get sent to Rwanda for 'processing' will lodge appeal after appeal all funded by Legal Aid and no one will ever get sent.  :-\

Meanwhile other European countries will take up the plan and will send loads of people there untroubled by the ECHR and other legal niceties.  ::)

General Car Chat / Don't Fall Behind On The Car Payments
« on: 13 January 2024, 17:57:11 »
Ford have taken out patents on self repossession technology, where if you default on your car loan the car will self drive back to the dealers or a scrapyard!  :o

Before the car repossess itself it has a few tricks up it's sleeve to nudge the owner to sort the finance out, like disabling the car at weekends, disabling the air conditioning or playing an annoying noise from the stereo. Jeremy Vine perhaps?  ;D

General Car Chat / Talking Of Big Pick Ups
« on: 11 January 2024, 16:34:15 »
Who knew that the Ford F150 is available in right hand drive?  ???  :o

This 2022 example is 'only' £83871.87 (at todays exchange rate) plus shipping, import duty, VAT and sundries.  :)

I think it would be a fun run about for lottery winners!  ;D

General Discussion Area / Water, Water, Everywhere.
« on: 05 January 2024, 19:32:34 »
Lots of flooding around the country after yesterday's heavy rain on top of a few weeks of wet weather.  :-\  I know that we've had plenty of rain recently, but it hasn't exactly been biblical. Fairly typical for the time of year?  ???

I wonder how much of this flooding is caused by poor maintenance though, councils not clearing blocked drains and farmers not digging ditches etc?  ??? 

I was out and about yesterday in the rain and pretty much every gateway had a small river pouring off the field over the road and I saw a small culvert entrance by the side of the road that looked as though it was overwhelmed by the amount of water, but going by today, it was still overflowing even though the water had reduced to a relative trickle so it was clearly blocked.  ::)

Ten years ago when the Somerset Levels flooded badly, there was a lot of talk about the lack of dredging in the River Parrett and the network of canals, drains, and ditches that take the water out to the Bristol Channel, and that it was at least a contributory factor.  ::)

Maybe I'm being cynical, but I guess it's more convenient to blame climate change?  :-\   :-X

General Discussion Area / Rust Remover Solution
« on: 30 December 2023, 22:17:39 »
Anyone used a rust remover dip solution like this before? ???  Any good?  ???

I've found a couple of old military swords in my attic. One of them has a brass pommel and scabbard and has polished up quite nicely, but the others pommel and scabbard is steel and it was rusty as hell. I managed to clean it up OK with a brass wire brush and a wipe over with WD40, but unfortunately it has rusted quite badly within the scabbard, which in turn has rusted the blade.  :-\

I was thinking of pouring a rust remover solution into the scabbard and putting the sword back in, and hopefully it will get rid of the rust on the blade and in the scabbard.  :-\

General Car Chat / Ooops!
« on: 16 December 2023, 22:04:58 »
Had a fella come and look at my V70 this afternoon and when we went for the test drive he tested the brakes as we went down the steep hill I live on.

Loads of water poured out of the gap at the front of the headlining, where it meets the windscreen onto the dash and our knees!  :o

I told him it was condensation as I haven't been using it, but needless to say he didn't buy it!  ::)   ;D

General Car Chat / Mondeo Running Rough
« on: 15 December 2023, 18:56:10 »
2008 Ford Mondeo 2.2TDCi Titanium X 165,000 miles

Starts fine, but running as rough as a badgers when cold. Lumpy idle and very spluttery when I floor it.  OK when it's warmed up, although still idles slightly rough.

No malfunction messages and haven't put the code reader on it yet, but I'm thinking it might be an injector issue?  ???

Any thoughts? TIA!  :)

Lord Camoron's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has announced £40 million of new funding to protect and promote human rights and freedoms for LGBT+ people around the world.  :)

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1727382832987926903.html

Also, the FCDO has announced a £30 million aid package for Gaza and Camoron will meet Hamas Palestinian Leaders.

And just to get your blood pressure up lads, the UK has handed over nearly £24 billion (so far) to the EU in payments for the Brexit divorce bill that our Dear Leaders stupidly agreed to pay.  >:( 

Lord Camoron, Rishi Sunak's puppet masters pick for Foreign Secretary, said the other day that the UK needed a closer relationship with the EU. Well that didn't take long did it?  ::)

Just to really get your blood pumping lads here's the UK debt clock, so you can really see how quickly our Dear Leaders are pissing your money up the wall!  :-X
