The LED tail light mounted on the boot lid is playing up. If it works at all, it just flickers.

I phoned BMW for a new one.........       £243!!  :o 

What's wrong with a £1.50 bulb FFS.  ::)

If it had LED bulbs I could just replace them, but this thing has LED strips built into the light unit.  Hence the price......  :-\   ::)

I shall tinker with it for a while.  :P

85 year old Father in law is having one of his legs amputated today, and they are keeping a close eye on the other one.
Feel really sorry for the old fella. I worry he wont survive the trauma of the operation.

He is a real character. A lovable rogue, who has got away with all sorts through his life because he has an abundance of charm.
Used to get paid on a Friday and M.I.L might not see him again until Tues. or Weds.
After one of these episodes she once screamed at him  "who the fick is Christine ?"
He replied, I have no idea. Why do you ask ?"
"Because her fickin name has been  tatooed on your arm" was the reply.  ;D
" Dont worry my little peachy, you will always be my number one girl".
" number one girl ??!! Im your wife and mother fo your five kids".
" Thats why your always my number one girl". ;D ;D

When I met swmbo she made me promise never to go in a pub with him, so I promised.
After a few years had passed I kind of forgot and ended up in a pub with him.
I was half way down my first pint, and he was on his fifth. He then tried to pick a fight with seven blokes who looked like they were from the local rugby team, and he is about five feet 5 inches, but a stockily built bricklayer..
I was sweating buckets, and only managed to talk him out of it by reminding him that his seven year old son was sat outside in the back of my car, and if we left in and Ambulance or Police car, that was going to be a major problem, and his wife would never let him hear the end of it.
I might soon have the unenviable task of visiting his girlfriend of 65 years (who lives a couple of hundred yards from me) to tell her he is no longer with us.
Dont want to do it, but she made me promise I would quite a few years ago.  ::)
