Over the weekend, 7 flash drives failed in one disk array.

I have a new array already in the rack to replace the old array, but it's not being configured until next Wednesday.  Do I pop to London to replace the 7 failed drives in the old array, or just cross everything and hope no more than another 1 fails in the old array

Do ya feel lucky ?

Went to the tyre shop to get a puncture fixed and came out with a new (budget) tyre that I didn't want, but had to have because puncture wasn't fixable. 

How budget .

Remove you have more power than a clapped out Mundano now

It's a £92.88 RoadX RXMotion budget, and it was all he had in stock. 

It has two Runway Enduro Sports with about 4mm on the back and did have two Sailun's with about 5-6mm on the front.

I planned to swap them round and rag the Sailun's out a bit on the back and then replace them all with a decent set before the winter.

I'll probably still do that though.

yeah, put the best on the rear.  No matter how good the electronics are, they can't shine a turd, or pull back in the arse when it snaps out.

Continental Winter contacts are pretty effective from experience

Thanks Al, but not really thinking about winter tyres.  There's this climate change thing going on you see?

That's one perspective...

Don’t skimp on your tyres with that car,… or you will definitely be sorry sooner.. not later. Tyres are cheaper to replace than panels, not to mention limbs👍

Yodel.  Having delayed a delivery due yesterday, because they couldn't be arsed, today it was loaded on a van at 11am, and at 2:15pm - about 1hr before the start of the delivery window - they decided it was too damaged to bother turning up, and suggest I contact the seller.

Obviously, with Creality being a Ching Chong outfit, there is absolutely no chance of getting a working email or a phone number, so I've gone through the motions of their online form, but suspect I'll be onto the CC company in a couple of days.

[TheBoy]

Oh, LOL, Yodel must have repaired the damage to my Creality goods, as it's out for delivery again

Fikkin' eedjits.  If they CBA to deliver, shouldn't they say "we didn't deliver because we couldn't be bothered"?

You must be on their “Let’s wind him up” list.

Not today but yesterday.
Bear with me because its a bit difficult to explain.
We have a small Cherry tree in the garden, and hanging from it is a bird feeder type of thing.
Its made from plastic coated wire about 3mm diameter, is apple shaped and about 6 inches across.
It has a spike about 2 inches long, which I think swmbo sticks an apple on for the birds to eat.
I bent over near this tree about 11am yesterday and somehow managed to impale myself through my eyelid on the spike.
I dont mind admitting a panicked like f*** and was convinced I had just had my eye out.
Swmbo heard me yell, took one look and almost passed out.
When she gathered herself she called 999 and luckily an Ambulance wasnt far way and arrived in about 10 minutes.
They werent interested in pulling it out, but bandaged the whole thing to my head and carted me off to A&E on blues & twos.
They took some pics, because apparently it was one of the more unusual callouts they have ever had.
When I got to hospital I was like a freak show. People, including the staff were gathering around to take pics. 
Anyway, after about three and a half hours of having this thing strapped to my head, it was examined very carefully at the eye dept.and they declared a near miracle.
It was pressing on my eyeball but hadnt damaged it. It slid across the eye and came back out through my upper eyelid.
They then pulled it out and spent a very long time cleaning everything up
Gave me ointment and antibiotics and sent me back to  A&E for a Tetanus jab and a precautionary CT scan.
After a further 3 hours or so of waiting I discovered the bloke opposite had suffered a stroke and had been waiting 12 hours to be dealt with.
He was even hobbling to the toilet by himself !
I asked about the wait and was told due to a lack of Porters the scan would probably happen around 4am.
At that point I told them to give me the Tetanus jab and discharged myself.
A bit sore and light sensitive this morning but otherwise ok and feeling like I should have bought a lottery ticked this week. 

P.S. Pics are available.

Kinell, that sounded quite frightening.  You've got to be careful at your age.

[STEMO]

Sounds interesting, get the pics up 

Oh...yeah...glad you're alright
