My graphics card won't run the latest Flight Simulator.....another couple of hundred quid to spend. MS originally said must support DX12....now they say sorry..its DX12.1 b******s !!!! Next it will be motherboard upgrade and processor too. Never ending circle. The IT industry moves so fast, I can't afford latest stuff....what I can buy is already out of date !!!
Omega battery fubared, hopefully get a replacement under guarrentee. Tyres really need replacing.
Micra tyres knackered
Good day all round...NOT !!!!

Dear me. Mind the old ticker doesn't give out, Tony, they're definitely not replaceable

Well, got the graphics card past swmbo, she is in a lot of pain, due for a new hip in a couple of weeks. I don’t think she fully absorbs what I say to her.
I am further pissed off because she can’t find the invoice for the old Omega battery, which I think is still under guarantee ☹️

My laptop, HP Pavilion, is running Vista 64bit. Am I up to date or has something changed since I bought it.

I hope you’re not taking advantage of Christine while she’s poorly Tony.    Seriously though, hope the op goes well for her. 
Have you got a Banking App on your phone to go back through your payments to try to at least locate the battery purchase date.

Thaks Al....never thought of that

I write the invoice number on the battery, along with the date fitted. That's how I know the one I bought for the Focus last month lasted almost six years.


Your struggle with flight simulators and upgrades is just an unpublicised simulation of what it's like to own an aeroplane

Euro Car Parts today.....needed a battery for the Omega.....

I know time flys but it wasn’t this far back was it (your post from 24 December 2018).    This one may have been for your other Omega.

For an even more realistic simulation, go outside and build yourself a bonfire using £20 notes...

Can you burn the new shiny slippery plastic banknotes?     Anyone tried?   

Not very environmentally friendly I'd have thought.....                                                                        

[Raeturbo]

Ahh I got a few spare I’ll go outside and try, be back now…….

I know I have had one not too long ago.....like the title of the thread, i'll be well pissed off if I have missed the guarentee, but I tnink most batteries are 3years, or I may be wrong
Problem is, my batteries wear out through lack of use !!!!

That's for helicopters....


Or horses - this is the best advice for anyone considering owning a horse: put your shotgun in your mouth and pull both triggers.


Planes, boats, racing cars and horses are just the start of a definitive list of things to borrow from obliging friends.

Sort yourself out a conditioner to keep replacement battery in better condition.

Good news, not pissed off anymore 
I have traced the purchase date through Euro Car Parts….July 2023, so still under guarantee 👍🏻👍🏻
