Random Irritations

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

I read that they were out camping, scary stuff and just irresponsible.

The penalties need to be way harsher than £200.

Their guilt should weigh heavier and for longer than any penalty that might be imposed.

Didn't have any guilt about making the trip in the 1st place so I doubt it unfortunately.

Going to the tank to find the windscreen iced over on the inside and a musty smell

Turns out there is a leak somewhere ... The driver's side passenger footwell is soaking

Wonder how long it's been like that

A couple today, Influencers, youtubers etc. And not just them, the people who follow them, as without following them, they would have to get a real job. My kids now aspire to be YouTubers or instgrammers as that's what's in their face. Grrr, I am trying to get them to aspire to be engineers, designers, thinkers!

Scalpers. This is where people (these days, computer systems that can react 10 x faster than humans) in buying the stock of much wanted items, usually stuff kids want, so then the pressure comes on the parents to pay the inflated "Ransom" price. So again, cause and effect, if people didn't pay the inflated prices, the practice wouldn't happen, the system would just work.

That'll do for now. Blood pressure rising.

Open the bonnet and check the drain plugs. My money is they are full of leaves and crud, therefore blocked and its rain water getting in through the bulkhead. A VW Below, but most cars are similar.

If that's the headliner that's wet it won't be the engine bay drains that are the problem.

Could be that there are similar drain plugs along the roof line trim. Worst case scenraio is that there is a gap in the roof skin where the vent is.

But probable that you have a blocked "gutter" and it's diverting water in to the vent area when it shouldn't.

Sadly it won't; if they gave actually gave a they would never have been there in the first place. My experience is that type will see it as the injured party's fault for being stupid enough to volunteer for the work.

However bad the decisions were, there is not, and never will be, any justification for threats of that nature.

Offering more than the monthly rent a landlord was requesting and still not getting the property ???

Yesterday and today

Two emails where the headers gave out the result of the golf tournaments before I had chance to watch the final rounds.

That was two unsubscribe requests put in.

The fuss being made by the BBC News over winter weather.

"It's going to be cold in February," who would've thought it!!

 

[jim8flog]

I've remembered why I didn't watch much TV until the golf restarted and now the Rugby too......
Jeez, will someone go to Advert College and learn how to make one that doesn't instantly turn me off from ever using the product...
They are dire beyond belief

I do like to follow the advice in the Aerial one

"Keep away from children"

There are some throbbers on Twitter trying to justify the death threats

Is that for the liquid pods? If so that is because some small children have bitten into or swallowed them.

New bathroom fitters started today. For whatever reason they've put hosepipes on the radiators to drain, going to outside. I work in a conservatory which is cold anyway, now I work in a conservatory with the door open when it's -1°c outside. On the plus side, I'm getting some use out of two items of winter golf clothing I've bought lately.
